Shortly after that scare, I had a discussion with a local psychic. I learned that we had been dealing with the spirit of a young girl, possibly hiding in the closet of that bedroom. What could have frightened this child so badly? Was she trying to tell us something? For some time I though I would never know the answer to that question. Not for reasons related to the spirited activity in that apartment, Lori drifted apart shortly after these events. I do not know if the events even still occur. What I did learn though, was that a fire had damaged some of the apartment complex some time ago. According to Lori, the fire started in her apartment.

A couple of years ago, as I was beginning of putting together the Orlando Hauntings Ghost Tours, I was discussing several of the stories with another friend who is very much sensitive and in tune with things paranormal. My friend revealed to me that the spirit of this little girl was not indigenous to the apartments. This ghost’s time among the living was lived out long before the apartments were ever built. Apparently she had gone camping with her family on the property where the apartments now stand. I learned that she was either severely injured or killed as a result from a campfire accident.

This event shook my very skepticism and opened the doors to my acceptance of things paranormal. The events and contacts I have made since that time have been amazing. Now, whenever I travel, I try to root out sites that are reported to be haunted (a good source for this is William Hauk’s International Directory of Haunted Places).
