IS THIS TOUR HAUNTED?

One week down on the tour and so far every night has been rocking!

It is extra cool to hit the road around Halloween. Things are always a little bit stranger. Lots of costumes, make up and bloody faces in the crowd! Not sure if all the blood is fake, but that's not my concern.

The long rides on the bus are welcome because it seems like every cable cannel is running horror marathons, so we all tend to spend countless hours glued to the TV watching such classics as Prom Night and The Frighteners (hey, you take what you get).

I've also become aware of how many "ghost hunter" shows are on the air, which is fitting because we just did a show at a venue in Milwaukee called the Rave. Now the Rave is an interesting place because not only does it sit just a few blocks from where Jeffery Dalmer killed all of his victims, it is also said to be one of the most haunted spots in America. Some say it is haunted by non other than the late, great Buddy Holly!

Now, I've played this venue many times and have yet to see a ghost but there are many who swear tons of creepy shit happens there. I've heard endless stories of voices, apparitions and flying objects. One band even claims to have seen a woman hovering above the crowd! The creepiest thing that I ever witnessed was across the street at the "Dalmer Hotel" when a crack head prostitute tried to talk her way into my room for a "date". I politely declined.

Though, being back at The Rave did get me thinking about ghosts and how every one is obsessed with the movie Paranormal Activity. Is it just the Halloween season or what?

Has anyone reading this blog seen a ghost or witnessed anything paranormal?

Tell me about it.
