Hey everyone. It’s Friday again. It has been a hectic week with my day job. I’m behind in visiting blogs. But the weekend will soon be here.
In searching through my photos this week, I looked for something spooky. (Have to keep the October theme going here.) This is what I found:
I took this on a cold November night in the little town of Jefferson, Texas. My husband and I were taking a “Ghost Walk.” I can’t recall what this building was once used for, nor can I remember any stories about hauntings. But it does look a bit creepy.
You’ll hear more about our visit to Jefferson in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, here are this week’s links:

Jefferson is one of the favorite places for me to visit. I have some absolutely amazing orb pictures taken in Jefferson around the Hanging Tree. Thanks for sharing, Joan!

Wow. I didn’t get any orbs but a mysterious shadow in one photo. I’ll post it I. A couple of weeks. Ghosts or not, Jefferson is neat place to visit.

I always think there’s something sad and lost about a dilapidated building. This one definitely has that spooky element. Nice one, Joan. And thanks for the links 🙂

I agree, Harmony. An abandoned building or house is sad. This one is definitely spooky!

That building looks like a hospital… or mental institution, if you wish to keep it even closer to the October theme! I’m curious to see what others make of it.

I’m thinking it was something like that but honestly can’t remember. I agree, it does look like an old asylum or hospital.
