Why Kentucky?

I was born and raised in Southwest Louisville, KY and although I have always loved the area, fate took me to St Petersburg, FL where I spent the last 35 years. I always said when I retired, I wanted to move back to Kentucky because I missed real trees, real grass and hills. Anyone who has ever been to central Florida knows what I mean, flat, flat ground, palm trees, and sand. There are only two seasons in Florida, hot and hotter and the only changing of the seasons is when the grass and shrubs turn brown from heat and lack of water.

Anyway, I did retire in January 2008, came back to Louisville and bought my dream home. The story doesn't end there because while I lived in St Petersburg, I got involved in paranormal investigation and once you start investigating, the questions that arise and the possible answers are endless.

I have always had an interest in the paranormal and several experiences during my life have opened my mind to the possibilities so when I left my group in Florida, I knew I had to keep going with paranormal investigation. Kentucky has a lot of history and Louisville itself has a lot of old buildings and areas worth researching. One place in particular that has recently became famous (thanks to TV) is Waverly Hills. That is practically in my back yard so to speak and I remember going there and having picnics when I was a child. Where the golf course is now, there used to be picnic tables and a park.

For anyone who is interested in the paranormal or just interested in the history of Kentucky, the SPIRITS of Kentucky hope to find and record some interesting information about the area.
