The Neptune Theatre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Here are some of the photos taken from the Halifax speaking at the Neptune theatre.



This is what happens when I get to be on a cool gothic stage, and they have a lab skeleton. I've always wanted my own lab skeleton to use for photos and have propped in a chair. They are just the coolest thing. I don't think I would have been able to fit it in my luggage.

Here is Sergey exploring the rest of the Frankenstein set where the lab is set up. If we had more time, I would have so done a photo shoot there.

The ghost hunt went well, and we got to see more of the behind the scenes areas since that was where more of the activity was reported. One of the main ghost known by name that haunts the Neptune Theater is "Syd the Ham" Syd apparently worked on the stage back when the place was still doing vaudeville, known as the Strand theatre. This ghost craves attention, and loves it when people are giving him the lime light.

The area where we did most of the EVP sessions was actually in the newer area that was built in 1997. Even though it is not as old as the rest of the place, employees reported seeing strange things when alone or few people are in the building. So if you get a chance to go to the Neptune theatre in Halifax, be sure to say 'hi' to Syd.

Just before we started the ghost hunt, the people who help us with the stage for our lecture, were kind enough to stay around and talk about there experiences at the theater.

Halifax, Canada
Day 2


Ottawa went well, with the VIP, Lecture, and then ghost hunt. Tyler and Jessica of SpiritQuest were a great hand as our volunteers.

Over the years of doing lectures, it has become only semi easy to stand in front of a large crowd and talk. What I do enjoy is seeing the reaction of the crowd when they see the evidence. Ryan tells the story and then we show the evidence, and I've seen people surprised or horrified.

After the lecture, we had a short break to allow the audience out for the ghost hunt. We devided the group in half, so that some would go upstairs with Sergey for Ganzfeld while the rest staid on the stage with Ryan and I for a seance. The centre did have rumors from of people seeing shadows and hearing strange sounds. We decided to do a very simple version of "One Hundered" candles, since it would put everyone in the spirit mood. Many ghost stories from guests of their own experiences were told including myself and Ryan. I hope to do this again at the other locations, and maybe even use candles this time.

After the Ghost hunt, we packed up everything and decided late night food was needed. The PRS crew and the volunteers headed to a local diner that is open 24 hours and claims to have the best poutin around. Elgin Street Diner is a place that is perfect to head to after a night the bar or club. These are my favorite places to eat at; especially late at night.

The poutin turned out really good, and it was a lot of fun to just sit and chat while enjoying diner food. When we left, all of the bars and clubs were letting out and quickly filling the small diner.

With an early flight to Halifax, we only got a few hours sleep before catching a plane to Halifax.

Sunday is a our down time before Monday's lecture at the Neptune Theater.

Canada Fall Tour Travel Journal Entry 1

October 1, 2011
Ottawa, Canada
Day 1

The first time I visited Canada, was also my first time leaving the country. I was kind of scared, but excited in a similar way to when I went on my first plane ride. Toronto turned out to be a lovely place to visit, and I enjoyed speaking at the Great Hall theater as well. The Field Trips we've had over the last few years brought many fans from Canada, and each time they would ask when we would visit further north. So it was well recieved when we finally planned out the idea of doing a tour in Canada.This year has been filled with many changes, and visiting another country that held many people who not only enjoyed our show but also the work we do is an amazing experience.

For the first leg of this tour, we are first in Ottawa for the Oct. 1st. speaking at the shenkman Arts Centre. Even though I am always nervous at any public event, I am looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully not only entertaining them, but also have them leave knowing something more then when they came.

Also while in Canada, I hope to try some poutine, which is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. This bar food is apparently popular across Canada and being a foodie, I love trying the local treats. If anyone has any other local Canadian food favorites I should try let me know.

Off to bed now to get much needed rest before prep for the first speaking.
