America's Most Haunted
The Whaley House in San Diego has been called the most haunted place in America. More spectral sightings have been seen in and around the 100 plus year old house and former courthouse than any other landmark in the US.
Recently, while visiting the area, I made the trip to check out the supernatural happenings at The Whaley House. Armed with my trusty digital camera to catch orbs and perhaps a manifestation (one could only hope), I was not prepared for what actually happened.
While on the second floor landing I was causally looking into the bedroom of the former residents, and at once I felt fingertips on the back of my neck under my name of hair. A strong, yet playful tapping on my nape--that seemed to say to me, "Hey! I'm here!" I spun around but I was all alone on the staircase. Later, I found out that this is the area where the ghosts are the most 'active'.
Was this indeed an otherwordly experience or a fruitful imagination. Wanting to believe in things that go bump in the night and at the same time--hoping against hope, it's just folk lore.
The Whaley House keeps its secrets still to this day. Halloween is the time of year, the veil gets thinner and the Ghosts come out to play.
