This group of students got to spend the night in a "haunted" cemetery, as part of their college coursework! Why didn't they have classes like this when I was in school? I might have graduated...

A spirited search of ghostly haunts

Nelson and a gaggle of students from Metro State College of Denver's Crypto Science Society set up camp Saturday night at the Silver Cliff Cemetery (Protestant) and the adjoining Assumption Cemetery (Catholic), nestled among the wild grasses on the flank of the jagged Sangre de Cristo mountain range...

On this evening, Nelson and the other adventurers looked for the soft balls of light that have spooked the people of Silver Cliff for a century or more, darting blue lights that they claim jump and scamper across the cemetery - the nonworldly lights of the spirit world.

Orbs.

I can't say that I believe that there are orbs, and that those orbs are spirits. That stuff seems too easy to fake or make a mistake about.

That said, my girls and I do have a date to spend that night at the Stanley Hotel, up in Estes Park this fall. Hopefully, that will be interesting.

I don't have a car today, and since we all can't apparently hitch rides on the Popemobile, I guess I'm stuck home. I should probably clean, don't you think?
