On Location Part 1

So I went out to two locations today, the St. Boniface Museum and the Jefferson (KKK) tree location. I went without a camera, just to scout out these reportedly haunted sites. I brought my digi cam with me to test out shots. Unfortunately ( I am baffled by this) I can not upload these photos to my computer. It appears that they don't exist. I don't understand it, because the images are right there on my camera. I've never had this problem before, so i suppose I will just have to re-take the photographs.

The first location, the St. Boniface Museum, is now somewhat a sanctuary to nuns and the convent that used to reside in the old building. Founded in 1845 the building also used to be a childrens hospital and a Catholic school, which later converted to an all girls Catholic boarding school.  I completely forgot while on location to check out the nearby cemetery which inhabits gravestones that date back to the 1700's.
(I will be returning next weekend)

The second location, at Little Mountain Park, is a secluded off-leash dog park that is fairly steady with visitors. The haunted place, I set out to find was a very old cottonwood tree with one erie branch that hangs near the base of the tree. This one branch stands out from the rest because it lays almost completely parallel with the ground below. The park, including the tree was part of the village, Mount Royal over 100 years ago. The park has remnants of a quarry that once existed.

I have to say I was unimpressed at both locations with the lack of any sort of feeling that I could have encountered.  The only thing that I feel to be odd, is the lack of photos that I can produce in light of my day.

PS. It was insanely cold on the grounds near the tree at the second location.
