Hello Kentucky! We
finally made it, but had to make one last overnight stay before
getting into Campbellsville. We pulled into this campground & the
owner met us out front in his little golf cart. He was super nice. He
apologized for the renovations that were under way & asked if
we'd stay long enough to listen to the live music they had on the
weekends. Unfortunately no, but I'm sure it would have been a cool
thing to listen to live bluegrass music. We got an end spot &
before we could get out this young girl, about 8 yrs old or so, came
speeding over on her bike to give our kids the scoop on the rv park.
She was very friendly & mentioned the cat that wandered around &
the lady's dog 2 rows over that you could pet if she was outside and
then there was the nice old guy who would take you fishing &
“it's ok to go into his trailer”, etc etc. Ummm I'm more cautious
than that so I reminded the kids that they were not allowed to go
into anyone's trailer. The girls grabbed their bikes & rode
around with her next to our site. I walked with them so they could
wander the campground. It looked like a lot of permanent campers and
the campground overall was very full. After our walk around the camp
ground & briefly saying “hi” to that young girl's mom we all
made our way back to our trailer. I gave them drinks & goldfish
crackers then the girl asked if she could use our bathroom. Ummm I
wasn't real keen on the idea only because we had just met her, but I figured if she had to go so bad
that she couldn't make it to her trailer then I should say yes. I
didn't want her to have an accident because I said no. Well big
mistake on my part. She was in the bathroom for a long time & I
wondered what the problem was. I also couldn't help but wonder if she
made her way into our bedroom. She finally came out of the bathroom &
oh my goodness I was utterly taken by surprise. She had to go alright
& she made a mess of the bathroom. I couldn't help but wonder
what the heck happened. Not to be mean, but it was so gross. I
quickly cleaned up her mess & had to wipe down the entire
bathroom with Lysol wipes just in case. Never again, sorry. Learned
my lesson. Again not trying to be mean, but I don't want to go thru
that again. I told my kids I hope they never do that to another
person's bathroom & if they did then they'd better clean up after
themselves.
While I was taking
care of business, hubby was researching the area & said he had
something planned for the next day, but he wouldn't say what it was.
I joked & asked “what is it a haunted house?” ding ding ding!
Turns out I was right. He found this place called the Octagon House
that was supposedly haunted. I knew for sure we'd have 3 extra people
in our bed that next night if they knew they were going to a haunted
house. I told myself I'd play it down so as not to over spook our
kiddos. I was curious if we'd actually see or experience a ghost in
the house. Once we got there I was surprised the house was smaller
than I thought, but still an interesting house. It was 3 stories
high, with the basement partially above ground & yes in the shape
of an octagon. There was a really weird nursery room full of dolls
that instantly freaked out Annika & she no longer wanted to be in
any room so she stayed in the hallways & begged her dad & I
to go outside. Of course we wanted to see all the house so we walked
quickly then hubby finally went outside with all 3 kids. Dalton &
Emry weren't real excited about the house. Instead they wanted to be
outside playing with the blue eyed dog. I, on the other hand, went
into each room taking pictures hoping to see a ghost, but never saw
or felt anything. I heard a guy talking to another group of tourists
& he claimed that he had seen a lot of paranormal activity. He
had a group of folks who had the ghost technology & traveled to
all kinds of haunted places to do their scientific gathering. He said
of all the places he'd been, this Octagon House was the most haunted.
Well I guess we arrived on an off day for the ghosts. Back to the
campground we went to get ready for our morning departure. Next stop
Campbellsville!
