Haunted Old Louisville

People that know me, know that I love story's about ghost. So I went in search of story's about Louisville. Doing the St. James Art show (Picture are on the blog) I had the opportunity to meet the author of this book "Phantoms of Old Louisville". He told me a lot about the neighbor hood called Old Louisville. He also gives Ghost Tours every Friday night at 7pm. So far Robert and I have not been able to go, they are always booked. But enjoy the rest of the blog, I have put together some of the sites of Old Louisville, I hope you all enjoy it.

The Pink Palace in Old Louisville

This is the house where I meet the author of the book David Domin'e. This house is also haunted, but with a very helpful Ghost. To find out more read the book.

1464 St. James Court

This house is in the Book for Haunted places in Old Louisville. The author of the book "Phantoms of Old Louisville " says the following about this Place:

"One endearing story from the neighborhood involves the lovely stone house at 1464 St. James Court. Said to be the second home built on the court, it has played host to more than a century's worth of families, hardship and sorrow. Although prior generations have moved on, it seems ghostly phenomena remain behind to remind current inhabitants about the phantoms of the past that still call Old Louisville home. In this case no specters have materialized out of thin air and then vanished; no cold spots have put a chill on the evening's festivities and no flickering lights have cast momentary doubt on the host's good intentions. In this case, all that remains is a SOUND, and a solitary one at that, that hints at a tragedy in the past, a tragedy that has left its audible mark on the present."

This is a section of the book that was written by "David Domin'e Phantoms of Old Louisville". To find out what that sound is... You need to buy his book. Or just ask me.

Home for Sale

This home was just 350 thousand dollars. Robert and I feel in love with it. If I had the money I would move and buy it. It is a beautiful home in Old Louisville.

The Conrad Calwell House

This place has a Ball annual called the "Spirit Ball". It cost $99.00 a person and the place is know to be haunted. Robert and I missed the ball, it was on October 27. Dam...

It's Halloween in Louisville

This is a sign Robert put on our mail box for Halloween. I was looking for a sign that said "Out of Candy", Robert would have none of that.

Waverly Sign

OK, I ran up this road to get the picture I wanted for this blog. The things I go through for picture for this web site. If you can't make out the sign, it says there is a no Trespassing law for this property. If caught a $5,000.00 dollar fine will be given to the person. Well I got caught at the gate. But was able to talk my self out of it. Told them I was from out of town and just had to get a picture of the place. Did not know about tours... Boy I'm good....

Ghost Hunters Waverly House

This picture was taken the the Sunday before the Ghost Hunters Live broad Cast at the Waverly. If you look very close, on the 3rd floor middle of the picture you will see a "Orb" in the window. This was broad day light. I'm so scared....

The front of our house for Halloween

St. James Art Show

Every 2nd week of October, Old Louisville puts on a HUGE Art show. It is called the St. James Art Show. It stretches like nine city blocks. Thousands of people come to the show. It was like 95 degrees outside. We had a blast. See the pictures below to get a small idea of what we saw. Enjoy.

Art Work

See next picture of what this is.

So Cool

This was a piece that had lots of people looking at. Robert feel in love with it. It is wire sculpture. This guy would carve out the figures in wax, then he would rap cooper wire around the whole thing, then melt the wax. Then BAM. He had art, and he wanted a lot for it. 2 or 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS for one. I could see Roberts mind at work on where he would put it. He wanted it in the hall in front of the big window. I just pulled him away claiming I felt faint with the heat. Reality, I felt my pocket book getting light......

Booth of Animals

This was a very cute set up. The lady in the corner was the designer. She was very nice. Told us all about her work. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. But we had fun.

Art Work for my hall way

When we were at St. James Art Show, I saw this wonderful sculpture. I wanted it so bad. But for 3500 hundred dollars I say NO......
