Been stuck in the black hole between seasons here, where although the world seems to keep rotating, nothing personally inspirational or locally provocative seems to clear the filter of the bubble. I'm probably suffering for the lack of experiencing nature, breaking one of Deepak Chopra's Seven Laws of Spiritual Success, so it is a good thing that we should be seeing some Kodiak t-shirt weather here soon.
Did catch an interesting story from KMXT earlier, about the ghost at the Baranov museum. It's a bit light on anecdotal evidence, but I'm certain there are plenty more tales of people being spooked. Really old buildings seem to invoke the paranormal intution in people, probably more on the projecting side of things, but it makes for some great entertainment.
I spent some time in an old house on the other side of the Russian Orthodox church, which has long since been torn down and replaced. There was something about the old creaky building next to a graveyard with thick lead paint and windows that rattled with the breeze because it faced the channel that kept me on high alert. Now that I think about it, it was probably more carbon monoxide poisoning.
Should get Paranormal State to bring out their thermal scanners and EMF meters and scan some local places. I can't think of any others besides the old D house and the big bunker right now. But then that might just call the paranormal's attention to us. Our Alutiiq ancestors were fairly superstitious and believed whistling conjured the spirit world, and someone once told me a story of swarms of black flies coming out of nowhere at a dig... so I guess we'd better be careful what we look for.
