Do Abraham Lincoln, black Confederates, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Michael Jackson, Zombies, Bigfoot, Chupacabra, all the Gettysburg Ghosts, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, John Lennon and George Harrison haunt historic Ben Lomond? Will Balloon Boy join them 80 or so years from now?

Sorry for the intro – I’m just testing a theory based on some stuff my friend Craig Swain told me about attracting visitors. Shameless but fun nonetheless. (UPDATE: I got it all wrong, and what Craig told me had nothing to do with what I was doing here. Figures I’d screw that up).

Totally worked to attract me. I usually look at your blog once a week and don’t get some of it since I’m not a Civil War person. But I jumped right on this one. Very timely as well:)

I’m not clear as to what theory you are trying to prove here.

That’s a star-studded cast in your keywords. I can’t believe you haven’t drawn in more with Balloon boy! LOL!

Turns out I was all wrong about what Craig was saying, which maybe explains why the results weren’t as anticipated.

How about for your next post you say “Examples of Photos Found on Gettysburg Superintendent’s Computer” and then supply a few risque carte de visite. It was “research” after all!!!!
