Strange Escapes

My first Escape was in Gettysburg, PA. I must admit, I was nervous. I was going with my husband, a skeptic, and I am not into investigating per say (although I loved the show), but was looking forward to the lectures. My expectations were that lectures would be done by a slew of experts in the field, but that Amy and Adam would not be present. Well, I was so wrong! At check-​in, they were there to greet everyone. I was nervous because I didn’t realize we were actually going to be meeting them – Amy and Adam are pros at this. They are so friendly and know how to put any crowd at ease. I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t know who John Tenney was. I asked him to sign my wine bag, and hurriedly went to my seat to Google him and see what he was all about. I know – my research on the event prior to buying the tickets was less than stellar – it was done on a wine-​night whim :-) Let me just say, John was excellent. My husband, the skeptic and an engineer by trade, loved John’s scientific approach to all things other worldly. Johns lecture and the way that he engages the crowd was riveting. Mark Nesbitt did a wonderful job of not only telling the paranormal stories of Gettysburg, but of giving you all sorts of historical tidbits about the town and battlefields. The ghost investigation was also a blast. Like I said, I didn’t think I would be into it, but the places we investigated were legitimate. How cool is it to have behind-​the-​scenes access to 150 year old houses/​buildings, and investigate with Amy, Adam, John and Mark? Amy and Adam were ever-​present in the event. It was amazing to step into the kitchen area of the hotel and have breakfast amongst Amy, Charlotte, Adam, Ben, John, Chip & Greta. If you are hesitating about buying a ticket to one of these events, don’t! You will leave with a wealth of knowledge and memories of visits with some of your favorite TV personalities (believe it or not, they are nice, normal people just like you and I). I even think the event catered to skeptics– my husband had a great time. Gettysburg is a must-​see. The town is beautiful and the local wineries and restaurants are a fun way to end your evenings – the event is catered to allow you time to explore the town in your own. Shout out to Reid’s Winery – your cider and musicians were amazing. I look forward to going back next year – hope Strange Escapes has it
on their agenda!

I attended Strange Escapes very first event at Manresa Castle in Port Townsend, WA. I was very impressed with the organization and professionalism displayed by everyone involved. There were small glitches here and there but nothing that detracted from our enjoyment of the event. The guest lecturers were amazing and very friendly and approachable. If you have any interest in the paranormal I highly recommend attending one of Strange Escape’s events. I definitely plan on attending another one! Congratulations, Amy Bruni, on a fantastic first event.
