The family wanted to get out of the house Sunday so we took a ride up to Sloss Furnaces. To have a look around. The location was recently featured on the Travel Channel show Ghost Adventures and has long been thought to be extremely haunted. While we were there we ran into a least one group of "ghost hunters". Not sure what they were looking for in the middle of the afternoon, but I hope they found it. The location is also a very popular photography location and Sunday it lived up to its reputation. There was a fairly large photo shoot going on of "interesting" subject matter. Apparently a burlesque show/enthusiast group was shooting in and around the park all afternoon. My wife was quite diligent in keeping me away from the "shoot" under the guise of "good parenting". Maybe I'll see those pictures at another time.
Anyway, we wandered the grounds for a while and finally entered one of the tunnels where "sightings" have been reported.
The rest of the trip was mostly uneventful and it was a nice day to be outside. Cold, but not uncomfortable with plenty of sunshine. Good day for picture taking. It's a shame I am not better at the process.

My wife, who has traditionally showed sensitivity to the paranormal, was very uncomfortable in the tunnel and ultimately had to leave. I will admit that it was dank and gloomy but I saw nothing of any import. Regardless, I followed the girls out of the tunnel and back into the open air.
