We had a great time at Midsummer Scream this past weekend. Kryis was a panelist on the Haunted Theme Parks panel and we got to see the preview for the new Candlelight Tours coming to the Winchester Mystery House. I’m sure we will be posting more about it later.

Queen Mary Hotel (update)
We stayed at the Queen Mary while we were in Long Beach for Midsummer Scream at the nearby convention center. We explored it a little more and got a few more stories.
You can check out our original review here.
Winchester Mystery House (update)
Story from a tour guide:
Blind woman on the tour once asked if the tour guide ever saw any ghosts.
The guide said that he hadn’t.
The woman asked the tour guide if he wanted to know where we “picked up” a ghost.
The presence arrived in seance room & left at 3rd floor stairs.
Winchester Mystery House (update)
I just overheard one of the Behind The Scenes tour guides talk about a maintenance worker who heard someone walking above them in the 2nd water tower. They went in to catch the intruder, but no one was found… & there is only 1 staircase.
Six Flags Magic Mountain (update)
We received an email from someone who believes he may have an explanation for who is the ghost found on the Jet Stream. Apparently, back in the 90s there was an elderly gentleman who really loved the Jet Stream and the Log Jammer, and would visit the park at least once a month to ride those rides. He loved them so much he would even pick out specific boats and logs to ride while visiting. He was such a regular figure that the employees started to affectionately refer to him as “Floatie.” There was even a time that “Floatie” helped a guest who had gotten hurt but could find no one that spoke his language. The park was grateful and bought him food. Floatie died in the late 90s, so maybe it is his spirit still lingering on the ride that he loved so much.
A Second Arrival
We are now no longer a threesome, our daughter was born yesterday. Might be even a little longer before we get around to exploring more haunted places. Hopefully we will get around to it eventually.
A New Arrival
We are no longer a twosome. Our son was born yesterday, so we will probably be a little busy. Might not be any updates to the website for a while.
