Who are you going to call?

If there's something strange in your neighborhood or if there’s something weird and it don't look good, better yet, if you’re seeing things running through your head. Who are you going to call?

I’m sure it want be Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd, co-stars in the 1984 hit science-fiction movie titled Ghostbusters.

However, I do suggest that if you’re seeing things running through your head, the first thing that you should do, is to make sure that you’ve taken your meds and then call your doctor.

Better yet, you can call the Big Bend Ghost Trackers who have inundated Apalachicola over the past couple of days in search of unusual occurrence reported at Lafayette Park and other areas of the city.

According to reliable sources, during the bygone days Lafayette Park, which sits on the waterfront of Avenue B across from the Key house, was the focal point of social activities.

During those days, the park played host to weekend bands, picnics, family reunions, birthday parties, political rallies, and weddings.

Much of the same activities still occur at the park today.

However, reports from back then, are that when night felled and residents walked pass the park or when teenagers used it for romantic trysts or when kids camp overnight, most never stayed in the area very long. All departed quickly and often reported seeing and hearing unexplained shadows, shapes and sounds.

Coincidentally, folklore has it that the world famed Dr. John Gorrie hung himself at the park after becoming despondent over several failed attempts to raise money to manufacture his ice-making machine.

The Big Bend Ghost Trackers were in town investigating those anomalies and to propose a tour similar to the Historic Monticello Ghost Tours they own and operate in Monticello, Florida.

Such tours in other areas have provided major boosts to the economies of those communities; in fact, the Trackers have themselves contributed a huge portion of monies made from their tours about $40,000 to local charities.

The Big Bend Ghost Trackers have been featured on all of the major TV networks such as A&E television and FOX network. They have also appeared in print publications like TIME magazine and in USA Today. In addition, they are currently in preproduction on a TV show depicting one of Georgia’s most horrific mass murders with a paranormal twist.

By the way, I’m not afraid of any ghosts!
