You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!

I am thoroughly enjoying your trip report. I love all of the pictures and anecdotes. Thanks for all your work in posting this!

OUCH with the "fingernail friend". You did a good job with the hand sanitizer as it is mostly alcohol anyway. I carry a little first aid kit in my backpack because one year Tyler was walking on the raised concrete flower beds out front of Epcot and he slipped off and tore a chunk out of his knee and I just happened to have some neosporin and band aids in my backpack. Now they are always with me in the park, along with ibuprofen, an epi pen, and benadryl. Yes I am a walking med cabinet................

I cringed when I read that part about the "chunk out of the knee". Oh, that sounds painful! I think after reading about these incidents on here, I will most likely begin to carry a small first aid kit in the parks, as well. Geez, I feel like a walking suitcase anyways between my camcorder, camera, change of clothes for DS4, hairbrush, sunscreen, ponchos, umbrella, sweatshirts for when it gets cool at night, etc. etc.. Good thing I have a stroller to carry it all!!!!

Hoping to put in a few more pictures at lunch. Including pictures of that darn door that keeps opening by itself.

Quick tip!! I carry a sandwich ziplock bag with a few band-aids, small tube of neosporian, a few alcohol wipes, four of each tylenol, bendryal. And the rest stays in the suitcase in the room. so, as not have carry more in the diaperbag.

Glad that you're enjoying the report. I'm working on an update now.

I thought the same thing. And, yes, we take a backpack in the parks too. One day, we said, let's see if we can do this without taking it in. It rained.....and we had no ponchos because they were in the backpack in the room.

I have a separate pocket in the backpack just for John's medicine, tylenol and now the ever present bandaids and super glue!

First of all, I'll show you a few pictures of the office building.

Here's a shot of the building itself. We are in the section with the red doors. The little bit of brown that you see on the left is the section they are remodeling. We are in the old downtown area near the courthouse and they have a Downtown Historical Society that you have to go through to make renovations. It's hard as heck to get approval. Thus, no new coat of paint on the building yet.

This is the backdoor that you have to shove to get open. It's the one that leads to the outside garden (that's surrounded by high wooden fence). This one opens sometimes by itself.

This is the door that opens by itself all the time. This is the bell on our side. It's a metal bell shaped like a red bird. Notice the keypad and key,

Up close shot of the redbird bell:

This is the other side of the door. The bells are really loud. They are made of brass and have huge clappers in them. Two pictures of the door bells:

First of all, either the keypad is locked or the key is turned to lock at all times. Second of all, the bells ring when somebody comes through the door. But, not when the "guests" open the door. No keypad beep, no key turn, no ringing bells. We haven't figured that out yet.

For the last couple of days, we have, at times, smelled cigarette smoke. Neither or us smoke and on the days we have smelled it, there is no one working next door. I think our ghost is a smoker.

I took more pictures yesterday but none of them had anything out of the ordinary in them. I took one of the bookshelf in my office so you could see where the book fell from but forgot to upload it to photobucket. I brought my camera with me again today so I'll snap some more pictures later on.

Now, I need to do another update on the real report.....the trip report.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Uhhh, when I looked at the pictures better you can really tell that we need to paint this office. It was shut up for five or six years with nobody but our ghosts in it. Once we get approval, we're going to do a lot of fixin' up.

Cool pictures..it's fun to be able to put pictures to the ghost stories. Thanks!

I'm going to keep taking pictures until I get "something".

 

[jenseib]

Thanks for the pictures. the building is beautiful though, even if it is infested with ghosts!

Thanks for the pictures. the building is beautiful though, even if it is infested with ghosts!

It does have some pretty ironwork and stuff on the outside. The pillars out front are pretty too. We often have brides and graduate and engaged couples come by and take their portraits in front of our red doors. Then they move down to the other colored doors on the building. It just needs a lot of clean up/touch up done to it since it was closed up for so long.

I love those old bells. Looks to heavy not to ring; I love old bldgs like that!! and yuck on the smoke tell the ghost that it is no longer cool to smoke "It could Kill you"

 

[mickeystoontown]

Lurkers! Lurkers! Come out! Come out wherever you are! I see lots of lurkers are looking at the report but haven't posted. It's okay to join in. I won't bite, I promise, because my tooth might fall out.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Thanks for posting those pics. Yep, I don't see how that door opens and no bells are ringing. And the smells of cigarette smoke. Wierd!!!!

You're awesome, Lisa! Can't wait to hear more.

Lurker here! First post on the DIS, actually...

This has been a thoroughly enjoyable trip report as well as a fascinating read about your ghostie encounters! I look forward to reading more!

I am loving your Real report and your Ghost report. Keep it coming...

 

[orangecats2]

Yes, I am a lurker, I will admit! But I subscribed so I can read along. Nice TR of WDW and your work place!

 

[nettii]

Wow your ghost stories are great. I believer we have a ghost in our house as well, sometimes we see shadows and some times I smell cigarette smoke or cigar smoke. I thought it was my imagination with the whole cigarette smoke thing, I didn't think it was possible. But it makes me happy to hear you have also smelled it, at least Im not going kooky!

 

[eandesmom]

Love the building pictures and the ghost stories...I feel like I'm in a novel

Ok...two novels. One is a comedy (the tooth, I gotta pee, gouge out of the knee) and the other. The other....a suspense novel.

My TR is so boring in comparison! LOL.

We just don't have buildings like that here...very fun to see, ghost or no.
