Just a quick link to an article of local interest to us here in The Constitution State. Ghosts are everywhere in Connecticut, even tire stores. As the tired old saying goes: There are no haunted places, only haunted people.

Oy veh. Couldn’t help but comment on this, since I’ve been complaining about the “hauntings as news” motif for over a year now, on my own blog. Seems to be an epidemic of this tripe, here in the Nutmeg State. Along with many other types of “journalism FAIL.”
So . . . the store, in a building that’s reputedly 130 years old, has odd noises. . .
except you can only hear them when recorded on the believer’s tape recorder ?
Of course there’s no chance of faulty wiring, stray emf or just plain flat-out lying going on, right ?
