The Textures of a Haunting

For Halloween Erik and I rented a room at La Posada Resort. For people not from Santa Fe, most aren't familiar with the story of Julia Staab. The three story brick mansion was built for her by her husband in 1882. After losing her seventh child at birth, Julia fell into a deep depression and ended up never leaving her room on the third floor of the mansion. She died there at the age of 52 in 1896.
There have been sightings of a woman in white who roams the floors, throwing glasses off the shelves, fireplaces turning off and on and some waiters that claim their trays are pushed out of their hands. So, we check in on Friday the 29th at 4 pm.

What are we expecting? Not sure. When its daylight I'm all for ghost hunting, when we were actually in the room lights off........thats another story.
So we check in at 4, go up to the room and I was not expecting it to be so beautiful. I don't know if I was expecting a dreary, dark, spooky old place but what I found was nothing but beautiful. No wonder Julia never wanted to leave.....(lol) thats a joke.
So we have a couple of hours to rest up before our 6 o'clock massages. We look around, snapping pics, turning the TV on, looking out the windows, checking the place out. I can't imagine a place so nice is haunted. Nothing catches my ghost radar except one thing, while we are standing in the bathroom talking, I faintly hear a woman laughing. It sounds like its coming from the closet. I pause and ask Erik to open the closet, not telling him that I heard laughter. He opens it and theres nothing there of course. I don't know what I was expecting to see! I shrug it off, maybe I'm trying to hard to be haunted.
We're off. 6 o'clock massages and we shut the door behind us.....................
We come back from the massages and Erik claims that the chain on the door is moving all by itself and the door opened by itself. I couldn't verify the door but we videotaped the door chain. (See the posted video)
We get ready and go downstairs for dinner. It was fabulous, I would go into detail but thats not what this blog is about. :)
We are back in the room, everything is in place, nothing weird and we get ready for bed. I'm so tired from the massage but I won't let myself go to sleep. I finally doze off and leaving the TV on sleep timer. I need to make sure that at least I have Sandra Bullocks voice in the background. She's not scary. I can't let myself go to sleep and wake up as the TV goes of. I tell Erik to put it back on and turn on the bathroom light. Yes, we slept with the bathroom light on all night. I finally get to sleep and wake up about 1:45 to music downstairs. I'm in a groggy state but I manage to ask Erik why the hell they didn't play music when we were down there having dinner. Weirdos. Anyway Erik says he doesn't know why there is music and I go back to sleep. To cut to the chase, the bar closes at 12 apparently no one was down in the bar/dinner area after 12. I have no idea where the music was coming from. Erik confesses to me the next morning that he was a bit spooked by the music and didn't know where the music was coming from. I guess I kept waking him up making sure he was on watch while I was sleeping, so he just wanted me back to sleep. So other than that, my side of the experience was scary. Scary enough to sleep with the light on. Erik says that on three different occasions he experienced goose bumps while laying there. Not just regular goose bumps but the kind you get when your in the presence of something supernatural. I only felt them once when I was there and I rationalized it away. I am posting my pics. Some we actually caught "orbs". Which are those funny funky balls of light which some say are spirits. We got them on two different cameras! SPOOKY. Hope you enjoy the pics!
