West Chester Ghost Tour Fun
My family has been scaring up a good time lately and I am absolutely delighted. Halloween is hands down my be all end all holiday. I assume that is why I try to keep it around all year. Last year while making holiday (x-mas) cupcakes for the little monsters school. I was watching a ghost hunters marathon while doing so. Any who…. This past weekend Mummy's little monsters as well as Mommy and Daddy went to a Ghost Tour. I must say it was rather fantastic. We went to the Lincoln Room in Downtown West Chester. Before the outing began we ate dinner in the gathering area, Pulled pork sandwich's and OMG! to die for Butternut squash soup which I never had but it is YUMMY! At 8 the ghost tour began; Our tour guide was Malcolm Johnstone dressed as a gentleman from 1850's guided us and approximately 45 other people on a 90 min. walking tour of the historic ghostly events of the West Chester area. The tour began at the Lincoln room one of West Chester's most historic buildings dating back to 1833. It is a federal style structure built by William Everhart, a former congressman. The rooms retain its original molding and tin ceiling. Abraham Lincoln had his first biography written here. It is also said to be haunted by the ghost of John Tully a horse thief that died there after being whipped and having his ears cut off. We also learned about the Everhart Parks mysterious Shadow People, as well as the persecution of the accused Westtown Witch Moll Otley. If ever in the West Chester Area and are looking for something fun to do for this time of year. I would definitely recommend giving this a try. It is a lot of fun and the people that run it could not get any nicer. Wonderful experience all the way around. This week I am getting ready for the weekends big events. Friday Night is Bates Motel followed by hanging in the house with friends, watching so horror films. The following day is the big halloween Night of the Living Fed Party. Can't Wait!!!!
