Halloween Hauntings



Halloween is a mega deal for us, its more than a holiday- its a... well...very cool holiday that we overly celebrate. (maybe because we ignore so many other holidays?)

Last year we went to see Wicked the musical in Denver and ate at the melting pot which had a special where your server tells ghost stories and your menu is all spooky (like giant fake spiders on your salad and eyeballs in the cheese fondue). It was great fun, bu
t when we heard they had an over-night haunting tour we were a little sad we weren't a part of it.

SO THIS YEAR:

Hubby just informed me he made the reservations for TOUR OF TERROR at the Melting Pot. We, together with other Halloween and Ghost enthusiasts, enjoy a grand dinner at the Denver Melting Pot (our resteraunt of choice for our fancier dates) and enjoy a tour with real paranormal investigator Kevin Sampron who is President of Spirit Paranormal Investigations. You see, Denver has some great haunting "hot spots" and one of those happens to be the very building that Melting Pot now occupies. It used to be an old city jail way back in the days... you can tell where some of the individual jail cells were and where the new additions to the building start and the old building remains. We took a quick peak into their meeting last year and they all kinds of fun gizmos and gadgets being set up to take paranormal
readings. I don't know what I do and don't believe about it but I've always wanted to be in one of those "exploring the paranormal" shoes they do on TV. And as long as there are gizmos and gadgets (and lots of fondu cheese!) Vince will also be a very happy person.
To further our Halloween fun we will be participating in Petrie's Halloween Lockdown... where we are all locked in overnight for some fun. I don't have many details on that yet but 1) It's Petries and 2) ...wait, do I even need a #2? Hahaha. There's also a mid-October Murder Mystery Party that we're eager to get all costumed up for. We will also be going to Elitch's FrightFest at least once since we still have season tickets. LOVE this time of year!!!

And another off-topic thought for the day. I often wonder how people can stand to NOT be us. Not to be all self-loving anf vain here but really... we're just so much fun.
