Brett Dolsen October 08, 2010

Great tones,crop and DD work Laura!!I only just noticed the person running down the hall with the knife or was that my imagination. #8954659

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer October 08, 2010

I'm taking a small lunch break - I mean - a break from my sleep.
OMG! This is AWESOME work, MSSSLala. Just awesome.
I won't be able to sleep any mone this night. Let's play poker?
The loser will be the one to contact the Cabin Steward if anyone needs him, okay? HEHE!! #8954665

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Oh dear. I had hoped I didn't have to share any of the history of this Ghost Train with you but I see I must.

Brett, Long long ago there was a murder. There was a knife. It is said this Ghost Roams The Train When It Gets Upset. Just stay VERY STILL if this entity gets close to you. It only attacks things that make sudden moves. #8954666

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Oh Hi SSSKiki!!! it is SO GOD TO SEE YOU HERE! I was just heading to bed. but if you want to play some poker, sure! I'm game! Just no playing for MONEY or we much conjure up "The GAMBLER".

Oh dear...Did I just disclose ANOTHER secret of this Ghost Train???

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!

Look what I just found on the floor! BRETT IS THIS WHAT YOU SAW???

#8954676

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

(So "good"..not so "God"! Sorry SSSKiki! I am half asleep and need some serious rest! Type-o's are eminent! Try and read past them SSS!) #8954677

Jeff Robinson October 08, 2010

Outstanding work and imagination Laura! Jeff #8954701

Ron McEwan October 08, 2010

Unbelievable or is it believable, great work Laura #8954906

Tiia Vissak October 08, 2010

well done! #8955209

Graham Robards October 08, 2010

WARNING!

Be careful, don't look under your beds tonight! Do you believe in the Boogieman?

#8955231

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Wow! This SOUL TRAIN just came to life!

YES! I BELIEVE IN THE BOOGIE MAN!!! #8955286

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Should we deal you all in? It IS better that we stick together!

Hey....who just tapped on my shoulder???

I HOPE IT'S NOT THE GAMBLER!

I didn't notice the cob webs and bones in the corner before did YOU guys? #8955296

Monnie Ryan October 08, 2010

Definitely felt something whiz by my ear -- it sounded suspiciously like "be afraid, be VERY afraid..." And the journey continues! #8955318

John Connolly October 08, 2010

It is good to be on our way at last! A nice job on the cabin steward Laura, and as Hoges would say "Now that's a knife"!!! #8955591

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna October 08, 2010

AWESOME DDR work on this spooky train, Laura! :-) k #8955790

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Monnie, I know I know. OTHERS have been reporting this too. Goo to see you two. I was just checking in the Office Cabin. We have NO ITINERARY! The passenger NAME LIST is not in order either. We are not even sure WHO is on board or NOT...Or should I say WHO or WHAT is on board? Well, so long as we have a FLASH LIGHT, I think we can ward any "evil" off? (With some help from Brett's GARLIC NECKLACES). CANDLES are NO GOOD. DO NOT LIGHT ANY CANDLES WHILE ON BOARD THIS TRAIN. CANDLES ATTRACT GHOSTS...Karen Kessler and I were just discussing this in the AFT Passenger cabin.

Seems not many people are in their beds tonight. #8955794

Wm Nosal October 08, 2010

Well! So! Got Everyone's 6!
Just..Dance!...Dance..Dance! #8956147

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010

Big Sis Pat Is One Wild DJ! HA! DISCO GHOST TRAIN!

Thanks Wm! I think Dancing is just what we need!

#8956162

Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010

Please don't tell me that that murderer's ghost is still roaming around on this train! Well, now I'll never be able to sleep! So, ... I might as well just DANCE the night away! It'll keep my mind off the evil spirits! LOL! Awesome image, Sis! :)

#8956518

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

I'm with you, Sis!

#8956593

Annette Carr October 09, 2010

Isn't that Elaine dancing? Omgosh that's scary enough! This music is so cool it blew all my fears away. Boogiemen can only haunt you when you're sleeping. I'm going to be dancing and playing poker tonight! #8956651

Annette Carr October 09, 2010

Amazing DDR work ! #8956653

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

How funny! Dancing and Poker. The last two things I expected for a HAUNTED STEAM TRAIN! I love it!!!

Okay...Who's Deal is it???

P.S. YES! Lol!!! That is Elaine!! Funny hey? Remember she can't dance AT ALL?

#8956673

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

I can bet that Lorna doesn't even see that "boogey" man dancing with her..don't tell her, though..she'll stop and be way too scared. He's moving right though her...scary!! #8956965

Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010

I heard that Patti!!!!! #8957007

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

Hey Lorna! Check out the view finder on my camera.
I just took a picture of you dancing and this was blocking the view of you!

Humm.......

#8957063

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

Oh, you scared him off and he was having such fun! I think he likes you, Lorna :) #8957067

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

Yes. It Must Be Love. I See He Came Back.

Lorna. Can You Hear Us?

Answer Us.

Lorna???

!!!!!!!!! LORNA !!!!!!!!! #8957089

#8957147

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

He seems to have a crush on you :) You might hurt his feelings if he knows you're scared. Let's just calmly walk to the dining car and see what's up with everyone. It'll be ok...don't be frightened.
#8957164

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

Great Idea. Let's all go together. REAL NICE AND SLOW-LIKE...I am going to check on those Mysterious Ritzy Folks that showed up in the ORANGE AUTOMOBILE, too. We need to know more about them. Will you guys go snooping with me?

#8957190

Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010

Only if both of you are holding my hands! #8957195

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

Shhhh...let's go :) #8957198

Annette Carr October 09, 2010

Wait for me I want to see the Ritzy Folks too. I'm tired from all this dancing. I scared Elaine off the floor :) #8957203

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

(Whispering now) Okay...Yes. Lets go.

Quiet! These floor boards are CREAKY! Where is the music when we need it!

OH WAIT! IT IS STILL BLASTING! HA! GOOD!

(MY NEXT BP ENTRY WILL BE...WELL...YOU GUESS!)

I have a Shelton Key, but Dare we use it? What if they are IN THEIR ROOM?????? #8957207

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

Shhh, Laura, your bracelet is clanking....they'll hear us!! What's a Shelton key? #8957213

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

(Whispering) DAMN. Lol...Okay. A Skeleton Key...(Spelled right!) is a universal key. It will get us into all rooms.

A Shelton Key is for letting the SHELTY dogs out for their walks. :)))))) And of course Shelty is spelled wrong, too. :)

(GOTTA BE MERCIFUL. I AM STRESSED! Lol!)

Off goes this bracelet!

I bought one for each person on board. Pick the one of your choice! #8957228

Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010

Nice, LaLa...thanks :) #8957233

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

My Pleasure. Now...where are those flashlights?

NO CANDLES. DON'T FORGET. NO FIRE ON THIS RAIN OR TRIP! THE GHOSTS WILL COME OUT LIKE CRAZY!

Wm brought a SPECIAL firepower but it's a secret. It's not real fire...but his own recipe...In case he needs it. #8957235

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

Oh...save me. TRAIN...Not RAIN....

Time to clip my fingernails. That must be it. #8957237

Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010

Ooooh! I love those little bracelets! May I have the one with the black cat, Sis? :) #8957260

Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010

Sure sweetie. That is why I bought them! I have lots! But Patti says they are noisy. Of course I had all of these on at once! HA! Here...take yours! #8957282

Lorna Shutter October 10, 2010

Thanks, Sis! :) #8957579

Patrick Rouzes October 10, 2010

Having a restless night. Something keeps sitting on the edge of my bed. Got up for a drink of water & it took me an hour to get to the kitchen. Something heavy jumped on my back & the weight of it kept me fom moving even one step.It was like a dream but I know I was awake. When my legs were about to give out from the weight it just quickly left .Went back to my room but the back of my neck still ice cold.Hope this does not happen to any of you. #8958005

Annette Carr October 10, 2010

Oh that happened to me too. I was trying to follow Laura and I looked out the window and saw something that shocked me so bad I could not take another step forward . . . #8958050

Laura E. Swan October 10, 2010

Paddy I am so sorry to hear this. Whatever you do, if someone from "THE Other Side" offers you a CHILL PILL, Don't ACCEPT IT!!! It's not for relaxation. They want your blood temperature to DROP to THEIR LEVEL, if you know what I mean?! Does it help to know the ghost sitting on your bed is a pretty girl? (See Bed and Trunk Image). Just don't leave your valuables laying around. She might take them!

Annette, there is a BELL STRING you can pull in EVERY TRAIN CAR. If this happens again just pull it and Wm will come to your rescue! :D Okay???

Stephen Zacker October 10, 2010

Very Spookyfeeling this has. #8958495

Patricia White November 09, 2010

I am not sure how you added all of the music but it great. All of the photos are telling a story to me. Ghosts actually live don't they. Every photo that you have here is spooky, eerie. I can not just pick one. So this for all of them. Great dd work. My Aunt had a ghost in her house of course this was a long time ago but she had one that actually made beds. My cousins can testify to this. I would like to find this ghost. Keep up the great dd work. One more thing , loved the dancing. #9023774

Nancyj E. Hovey November 20, 2010

Laura E. Swan November 20, 2010

This was just one of MANY MANY fun and exciting threads this OCTOBER 2010!

Sometime I'd like to go one page back in the gallery and start at the beginning of the story! READ EACH ENTRY again! It was really great and all the participation from other BP'ers really made the story come to life!

Thank you, all of you and nice to have you here Steve, Patricia and Mumj!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN and Mumj, Thanks for making this series number one for OCTOBER 2010 tonight.

An honor!
