During this past Halloween season, BW's scout troop organized a 'Walking Ghost Tour' through the more historic parts of River City for theirs and other dens in the pack. It was a great deal of fun, and the fall weather set the perfect stage for learning a bit of the varied history of our little town, and all present were impressed with the sheer number of stories about lost souls, murders, and ill-timed deaths of former residents of our town.
To set the mood before we began our tour, our guide dramatically reviewing what ghosts and orbs were, and how to look out for the presence of souls left behind while out and about on our stroll.
One child, obviously caught up in the spirit of the event, mentioned excitedly that "When ghosts are present the air temperature drops, and you can even see your breath!"
"That's right!" encouraged our host, "So if it feels cold, it could be a ghost!" Looking around the room it was obvious that the other scouts and their chaperone's were just as engaged as the guide and the outspoken little one.
From the back of the crowd, BW could be heard responding "That, or air conditioning."
