Courthouse Employees Hunt Ghost<br> <i>New Security System Captures Haunting Images</i>
WBAL ^ | 6 Aug 04 | Associated Press

CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- The word "ghost" is hot on the lips of Kent County Court House employees.

A new $75,000 security system installed July 1 hasn't caught any criminals, but it did capture some haunting images of what appears to be a strange light "walking" in one stairwell.

"It didn't show up to the eye, but it showed up on tape," said security officer Phillip Price.

Security personnel first saw the light while looking at a surveillance tape recorded July 29, and it appeared live for more than an hour the next day.

After noticing the light, Price walked up the stairs and didn't see a thing. But downstairs, where by then a crowd of employees had gathered to watch, the video monitor revealed the strange light proceeding ahead of Price, stopping when he stopped and starting when he started.

At one point, those watching the video feed saw Price walk through the anomaly, they said. That was about the time that Price said he felt something.

Out in the 'countryside' you probably will run into the Gaelic speakers.

Yes, and Gaelic on the radio as well.

I'm from the opposite side of the country.

But was in Killarney only a few weeks ago!

Had a ball!
And a rather amusing encounter with a taxi driver. Those Kerry men live up to their reputation! *LOL*

You should feel rightly proud.
There is nothing quite as engaging (or comical) as a man from the Wesht (the 'h' is intended...it's how they pronounce it! *L*) in full flight.

And behind all the bluster - they are the salt of the earth types.

If by "from" you mean they were travelers from Kerry to Clare then you would be correct. Face it we're descendents of Tinkers. Or didn't you know that?

This belongs on a "Hobbits" thread, Precious.

It's called hairy palms in The States, and I can only speak for myself.

I prefer to wax while Pardek uses an EpiHobbit.

But we both like caravans, cabbage, peat, Half and Halfs, and hurling.

Casper the friendly ghost:

A GHOST?(!) Geez, I'm scared! I'm afraid of ghosts, ya know?(!)

(Casper hides underneath an Ottoman. Starts to nervously bite his ghostly hands.)
