I have been acting in Haunted Houses since 1974. At that time I worked in a Campus Life Haunt in suburban Chicago. Off and on through the years I have played various parts in the interest of scaring the wits out of so called unsuspecting victims of numerous Haunted Houses. There is nothing like being the reason someone wets their pants just from looking at you or falls backwards just because you said "Hi" to them. My personnas can be seen on http://www.hauntedconnection.com/data/actor2cid229.htm.
Today I own a truely haunted building known as Ashmore Estates. Ashmore Estates is known as one of the most haunted buildings in Illinois. The building is used for many events. In May 2007 we will hold a Ghost Hunters University featuring Christopher Moon of Haunted Times Magazine. In the May/June & Sept/Oct timeframe we will open the doors as Ashmore Estates Asylum - a terrifying Entertainment Haunted House. Last Year was our frist season and we were received very well - seems people wanted to see how our efforts went in trying to turn a run-down old insane asylum into a run-down old insane asylum. This was far from our first season as haunters though, we haunted Elsinore Farm in Charleston, IL for about 6 years to a very dedicated following of visitors. In 2005 we Haunted Rockome Gardens. This was a very sucessful haunt and the visitors loved it and craved for more but bad management choices killed it.
Hello Scott my great friend. I've missed you!! I hope that you had great success with your video review of the Opera House. Let me know if you captured any ghostly activity while in Bardstown. I wish you the best of luck with your documentary!! Patti*
