The Travel channel has a show on it called Ghost Stories. Today they had a repeat of one about Boise, Idaho the city where I live. It was cool to see the places where they say there are ghosts. The Egyptian Theater seems to be the most haunted. A guy named Joe that worked there years ago. He was a projectionist who had a heart attack on the stairs of the theater on his way to the projection room. The other place that seem real popular haven for ghosts is the Boise Penitentiary. A serial killer named Ray Shoden was executed there. They said he didn't die immediately but dangled from the noose for 16 minutes. Fort Boise Cemetery is a place that we all just call the military cemetery. We used to go there as teens. You can hear babies crying and there are actually stones with baby's names on them.
Other haunted spots in Boise are the cigar store Hanifan's, Mulligan's which is a popular bar, and the Boise Little Theater. At this theater a man was seen on stage and you can hear some one walking around on the stage.
Yes, Boise is a cool town. I love it here. And, it seems some people liked it so much they didn't want to leave it even after they died.

I haven't seen any per se. And not in the places they talked about in the show. Although the old prison has some weird energy. I do feel energy and believe mom is around me all the time. Guardian angel sort of stuff.

When I lived in Buckinghamshire, UK there was a very old public house that was said to be haunted by people who had spent the night there before being taken up the hill for execution. I didn't believe that, I thought it was a way of encouraging patrons to drop in for a drink.
