Well well well, after a few months of relative silence I'm glad to see this posting of mine has generated some interest. Thanks for the heads up about the book Randy, I've ordered a used copy that should be here soon.

I've lived in a few haunted locations over the years, including a couple places here in San Francisco worth mentioning. There was a flat at 19th and Castro and it was my second day living there and I was in my bedroom unpacking when I heard a humming sound. I looked through the door out into the hall and the humming grew louder and then a bright orb the size of a basketball floated slowly by my door. I followed it down the hall into the living room where it finally just evaporated. Needing to talk to someone about it, my new housemates were all in the kitchen and I walked in there and said, "You guys, um, hmm, well, I think, um" and one of them said. "Was it the orb or the lady?" Everyone had seen it at one time or another. Several years later I had a studio apartment on Sutter Street near Jones and there had been so many strange things happening I'd invited some other psychically sensitive friends over to meet a spirit named "John" because I needed someone else to tell me I wasn't crazy after awhile. They all sat down and I started to explain the things that had been going on in the apartment when the closet door opened on its own and opened up all the way. They were rather shocked and awed.

But anyway, Yes, that bar at Jack London square has a very strange feeling to it.

And no, haven't done any ghost hunting before in any formal sense.

But sure, let's do it. I was thinking about starting out with Stow Lake simply because it's outdoors and we don't really need permission to go wandering around there late at night. Thursday nights are probably the best for me, but others could work.
