I haven't blogged in 10 days because there was nothing going on that I felt was blog-worthy. Then this great gem fell into my lap... Ghost Hunt in MacDonough Hall!

One of my most popular posts ever was and continues to be my post on SUNY Plattsburgh Trivia. Several of my statements had to do with the tales of MacDonough Hall being haunted. Through research which included directly contacting credible experts (I'm not disclosing my sources yet) I was able to positively declare that the stories that the catacombs beneath MacDonough used to be the old city morgue were flat out not true. However, two interesting facts were relayed to me. First is that human remains were discovered on the construction site when MacDonough Hall was built. Second, that MacDonough Hall was built near the site of "an original hanging grounds". I thought that the use of the words "an original" rather than "an old" was odd but I didn't want to bother my source more than I already had.

Today a Mr. Merrill McKee posted the following comment to my SUNY Plattsburgh Trivia post:

Hello there. I am President and Founder of the Northern NY Paranormal Research Society. On Oct. 19th we will be investigating the claims of ghosts haunting MacDonogh Hall. ANd to BanksHallRA, we have bveen granted access to the catacombs. On the 20th we will be presenting our findings and answering general paranormal questions in the lounge of the Hall on the first floor.

Man is this story not absolutely perfect with Halloween coming up? I can't wait to read about their findings. I will post a follow up.
