Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 it just doesn't seem t ofit the style of ghost huinting and the style of the show.... winchester house is way to commercial...too slick..and way overdone... at least, thats the way i picture it cheers fraggle Lynda <lurine Jun 25, 2005 9:44 PM Re: most haunted Well, then one should invite them over for the annual Halloween seance. Lots of photos are about showing glowing orbs and what have you. There are also recordings of " voices " and " noises " that shouldn't be there when no one is in the house. Of course <<eg>> if one were to turn a camera crew loose in there without a guide they might never find their way out again! So, what is there criteria if Winchester House wouldn't fit?
