Hey everyone! I recently got back from key west, florida! It was so much fun. We got to key largo on saturday then drove down to key west on sunday. On monday we wen't to a bunch of museums and on a ghost tour! The ghost tour was fun but it creeped me out... I didn't get much sleep that night. There were tons of stories that we heard...they even told some of them at museums 'cause they truly are part of the history (scary history) of key west. One was about this Count who had a "dream" , in his dream his grandma told him he must marry a beautiful spanish ( latino? cuban? idk... u get the picture) woman. He met this girl (whose name i didn't pay attention to) and fell in love with her, but she was married and she was dieing of some disease... When the girl died the count went to her grave and dug her up. She had rotted a bit so the count remade her and put her in a wedding dress. Its really creepy and eventually he was arrested and written off as crazy. Now his lonely ghost haunts the area where he used to live. There was also a haunted voodoo doll named robert. He was really creepy. Robert the doll used to live in this house with this boy whose name was Robert and his middle name was Eugene. after meeting Robert the doll he went by his middle name but abreviated it to Gene. As he was growing up he blamed everything bad on Robert. He left the house when he got old enough. When his parents died he inherited the house and moved in with his wife. There in the attic he found Robert. He made him lots of furniture and put him in a different room in front of a window. There kids could see him move about. Eventually Gene got tired of Robert and his negetivity. He moved him back to the attic. When other people moved in to the house the doll remained and many of the people claimed to hear footsteps coming from the attiv but when they went up there all they saw was a creepy doll sitting in a rocking chair holding a stuffed lion. Now Robert aits in a museum. Very confertably... You can take a picture of him but you have to ask his permission. There are a ton of letters taped to the wall and on his case asking for his forgiveness because they took his picture without asking. One couple had a particularly bad experience. When they tried to take a picture the first time their camera batteries died. Then they got new batteries and took the picture. Then when they were trying to get home and their air plane was delayed, and delayed a second time, and then the third attempt to get home was cancelled. They asked for his forgiveness and were able to finally get home. That would have really sucked... I did not take a picture... It would have felt really stupid to talk to a display in a museum just to take its picture... But the lady i was staying with took one. so here he is...
he looks creepier when you can see his face. we didn't get a very good picture of him... but still you can see some of the letters in the background and in his case. Well i had a very ghostly experience.
stay tuned for my next blog about the rest of my vacation.
