Ghost visitation!
Our visiting ghost has been a busy guy! With many visits, the latest being this last Saturday evening. Seems our fellow dropped into the warehouse and set off the motion sensors. As the story unfolds, seems one of the cellar workers met our friendly but busy ghost early one morning just prior to the first reported visit. The claim is he is an older gentleman with Victorian style clothing, walking with a bit of a limp. It is said he tipped his hat and moved on, out of sight. This is actually the only true sighting where as the other visits have been less sightings and more activities. Will keep you informed as the story unfolds...
