I visited the Mount in May 2009 and recently wrote about the visit on my blog. I visited two days in a row, one of them during the Friday night “ghost” tour. In my blog entry, I didn’t mention the tour, although I did have an experience while I was standing outside of the old sewing room, near the elevator. I caught it on a digital recorder and others (including Molly) heard the sound. It was directly below her office.
I will be adding a literary blog entry about Edith Wharton very soon. I have to gather my thoughts first, in order to write a scholarly essay.

What an eerie experience! I really enjoyed the post on your blog about your visit to the Mount, especially all of the photos of the interior.
