Over the weekend, my older brother and I were having a debate about the existence of ghosts. I was being my usual smug, arrogant, pseudo-intellectual self, arguing that ghosts don't exist, and that the reason people think they do is blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda. So here's the interesting bit; my brother says "Oh yeah, smart-@ss? I'll tell you what. There's a haunted hotel in Gettysburg where the ghost of a soldier with half his face blown off haunts the room, and they rent the room, and I bet you can't spend a night there alone!!" So, cheap b@stard that I am, I say "I absolutely could, provided you pay for the room!!" He agreed; the bet is on! And since the Horrorfind convention is in August, we may plan it for then.
So here's me, the big atheist, the skeptic, who don't believe in nowt, agreeing to spend a night in a haunted room in Gettysburg. I'll of course bring a video and still camera to record everything that happens (like me brushing my teeth) and to help find answers to our most profound and pressing questions (like, do I snore when I sleep?). Any tips or advice any of you have for surviving a night in a "haunted" room? Anyone have any interesting stories of being haunted? Anybody read any stories about smart-@ssed skeptics who accepted a similar dare and didn't survive to tell about it?
