Blinddog, 

Great suggestion.  We must have posted at the same time.  It wasn't there when I read the thread originally.

Mary,

Just like The Spalding Inn, it doesn't matter if it isn't haunted.  If we say it is, IT IS! 

Hannah,

Of course they can come along for the drive, even as guest skeptics, but we will need another RV for them and also decide who wants to ride in the back while they drive.   That will also add to our dog and cat numbers as I'm sure there are a few that would love to bring them along.

I have to jump out before NM though.  Sorry but I don't want anyone to have to bail me out because I do harbor a grudge now and again and I can't be responsible for anything after I cross the state line.  I'll jump back in either in CO or AZ.

I see a YouTube series.

I don't need a YouTube series or for them to be on TV.  I'm going to watch them by Remote Viewing…

Speaking of that…would that mean that Santa Claus has the Remote Viewing ability since he "sees you when you're sleeping.  He knows when you're awake.  He knows if you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake"?  And the Tooth Fairy knows when you lose a tooth, so…maybe she has Remote Viewing as well?  Or is that just reading your mind? 

Hmmm…we're going to have to get these people to come in and do a little testing.  I mean, it doesn't seem like they took part in Wiseman's Twitter study…

I would definitely use it for evil.

Revenant,

Well, Santa Claus, is actually sitting in his village down the road a piece from The Spalding Inn.  We'll have to check that out.

Stephen,

Of course we would love to have you come along – work or not work.  I'd love to see the Winchester House and really love the coast from San Diego to San Francisco/Marin County.  Maybe a trip to Cannery Row in Monteray to see if the Aquarium haunted (and a little shopping on the side)?  And then a trip to the wine country would definitely be on the radar.  One has to have a bit of the grape!  Right Revenant?

I think a LOT of serious study needs to be done in the Napa Valley.  Last time I was in NC they had a growing wine industry; which has probably attracted enormous amounts of paranormal activity.

Hannah,
Based on personal experiences I have done a small, but significant,
amount of work dealing with identical parallel universes while consuming a bottle of NC muscadine wine.
However the evidence of two of everything existing in the same time plane is hard to verify as most data is lost by the next morning.

Beaches, mountains, bbq, wine and Nascar.
Ya' gotta' make a swing by NC on your paranormal quest.

The bbq I never tried while there.  Wanted to compare to Texas bbq. . .tomato-based vs vinegar.  We certainly can swing through NC and you can appear as a special guest skeptic.

While we are being video taped, will you say I am your 'good friend' or that we've known each other for 6 or 8 years.

We have a constant battle in NC over bbq.
The vinegar base is eastern NC and the tomato base is Western NC.
Also eastern cooks the whole pig, western just uses the pork shoulder.

I like them both.

No wonder I like the tomato based!  My ancestors are from Rutherford County area.  That is why I went several years ago for genealogy research.  Stopped at a little country store to ask for directions to a church and why I wanted to locate it.  Turned out the guy after discussing who my kin were was a fourth or fifth cousin.  

You betcha!  We have been best buds for at least ten years and are 12th cousins twice removed. 

We do a lot of brisket, which it turns out via a friend who moved from Texas to NC, brisket is not found in NC, or at least in the Winston-Salem area.  He has to order from meat market.  Is shredded or pulled pork popular?

Pulled or chopped.
Ain't no cow meat ever desecrated a self respecting bbq spit in the state of NC.
If someone ever did and they got found out they'd be run out of the state on a rail!
We'll tolerate a chicken, but a cow…NEVER.
I'll be looking for your ' friend '. The Blasphemer!

But, but. . . have you ever tried brisket?  Yummy!  Falls apart it is so tender. 

Can we agree on sweet tea?  I personally just prefer brewed ice tea, no sugar. 

My poor friend.  He probably is on some secret list in NC.  He was originally from Maryland, but got indoctrinated in Texas bbq when he lived here for several years.

I think we are gonna need a bigger RV.
