  Tonights episode is very different...I had the opportunity to stay over night at the Historic Bullock Hotel - which is also VERY haunted! This episode was done in video format - I'll upload the audio here - but I took video of the entire episode. Feel free to listen here, or if you want to watch the video - you can catch it over on YouTube - I wasn't looking for ghosts - I simply wanted the experience of staying overnight at the hotel. I don't ghost hunt, or do paranormal investigations - I simply do the research and tell my listeners the stories...but, it's funny what happens when you AREN'T looking for ghosts. Sometimes, they simply show up unannounced. Hope you enjoy! Consider subscribing to follow along, or drop a comment. What do you think? Did I encounter the ghost of Seth Bullock?
