I’m strange, I know, but all writers are, aren’t they? I’m also both envious and desperate, and by now my predicament is sad, sad, sad. I am staying in a haunted Hotel, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and I was hoping to be able to write about ghostly apparitions and strange occurrences, but the haunting gods have been less than kind to me. My experiences so far have been peaceful and relaxing while others at the Conference report ghostly happenings. What’s the matter with these ghosts, why are they discriminating against me?
One of my travelling companions, and several others I might add, have felt a presence climb into bed with them, another saw a white gown hovering around her room, and a friend says his computer turned on in the middle of the night, and they aren’t even staying on the supposedly haunted floor, I am. There have been recent reports of ghosts in the bathroom, strange knocking in a few rooms, and even a sighting of the ghost who roams the halls, for me, nothing.
I have two nights left in this hotel, and it looks like I’m cursed to spend the next few nights sleeping comfortably in what is probably the only non-haunted room in this hotel, and as a writer in search of adventures to write about, this is totally unacceptable. I guess I will have to steal other people’s experiences if I want to write about ghosts.
Seriously, though, the hotel itself is worth the experience, with or without ghosts. It is old, built in 1913, has a classy feel about it, and I am enjoying my stay here. I may be disappointed with the ghost situation, but I’ll get over it, and who knows, I may be back again someday to try my luck again.
Love you all!
Luc
