The Haunted Inn

We stayed at the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock, NC, the highest incorporated city in the state. The ancient inn, one of the buildings in the National Registrar of historic places, is said to be haunted by several ghosts.

When asked about ghosts being there, the innkeeper said, "The only thing we are allowed to say is that we protect the privacy of all of guests ... whether they've ever checked out or not."

It's a beautiful inn in a great location with balconies for every room (I think). Ours overlooked the adjoining golf course where deer came out at dusk. The town itself is very wealthy with amazing homes scattered throughout the many hillsides.

This is the bridge in WV where base jumpers once a year (third Saturday in October) leap with their parachutes to the river some 900 feet below. Later I'll add a picture I did not take that shows a much better perspective on this bridge. It is closed for that day. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for those unaware of the closure trying to travel on this main highway.

Here's a better perspective on the base jumping bridge in WV. I grabbed this photo off the internet.

It -- or one very much like it -- is used on a postcard available at the gift shop near the bridge.
