This is a picture of Forbes in his hut..Of course it is only a mannequin, but the story behind this is one I'll never forget..This was taken at Fort Ligonier.

See, when we first got to the fort, my son and my nieces 2 kids, (we are talking 5,8 and 9 years old), stuck with me, except once inside the fort, they took off as I was trying to get pictures. One child was climbing on things so I made my nieces kids go to their mom and grandmother while I kept my son with me..Then his sister, (who is 20 and responsible)came over and she took off with him..I thought that is fine since I know his sister wouldn't allow him to do something he shouldn't.

So, I am taking pictures as they continue on their way. When they came out of the first building called, Forbes Hut, my daughter was freaking out because there was a mannequin inside and it scared her..

I went inside and took this picture as they once again took off to the next building..According to my daughter, she took one step into the building and stepped back outside when she realized there were more mannequins inside this building. The outlay of these buildings were in an "U" shape, so as I was coming up to where I saw my daughter coming away from this building, this guy in a British uniform walks out of another doorway next to that building..

roflrofl She jumped and started laughing from her fear..I yelled up at her, "That's what you get for taking off without me"

The guy in the British uniform is an employee, there to help with any questions we have and we even got pictures with him. But my daughter learned her lesson for a while. There was a hole in the ground with a ladder. You go down by turning towards the wall because it was a steep ladder. My daughter and son both went down, but waited for me, because after you go down, you inside this tunnel that shows how they stored their gun powder in barrels.. I laughed, because there was no mannequins in there..

Anyways, I had to share this story and picture of the mannequin that started it all...

Are you afraid of mannequins? They can be scary, and I'd never want to sleep in a place where there are mannequins starting at me..And they do give me the creeps, and I'd never want to go to a place at night that has them..spooked

Well that's going to be picture to bring out at ALL the family gatherings eh? lol

There is one mannequin that stands out in my memory. It is found in a restaurant somewhere here in the Midwest, I can't remember which one unfortunately.

But it scared the heck out of my mother and grandmother but then they both laughed over it. If you walk into the ladies restroom, directly inside the doorway there is a urinal with a mannequin of a man standing in front of it! Both my mom and grandma thought they had walked into the wrong restroom!

Oh wow, that is funny. I would have jumped back out of that room very quick if I saw that..It would be cool to know where,I'd send my daughter there just for her to see it..:)

hi that was an interesting story.looking at that mannequin for a moment O thought that was a corpse,it looked so human and also very dead like. yes I think being around a lot of mannequins looking at me would
be a bit scary. Stumbling into them in a dark room late at night
would make me start running for my life. he he and I cannot run all
that fast. lol lol.spookedspookedspooked

Yes Hatley, I admit there were times when I was alone taking pictures, (I got pictures of all the mannequins), and I felt a sense of, "get the picture taken and get out of here!" LOL
