Bobby Mackey's / Thomas House Weekend

This past weekend at Bobby Mackey’s Music World and the historic Thomas House Hotel delivered exactly what paranormal enthusiasts crave: rich history, unexplained activity, and moments that make you question everything you thought you knew.

At Bobby Mackey’s, the basement remains one of the most charged environments I’ve ever stepped into. During our spirit box session, we got two distinct voices—one male, one female—within seconds of each other, both seemingly responding to our questions. Chills don’t begin to describe it.

The Thomas House, by contrast, is eerily quiet—but the kind of quiet that keeps you alert. Guests reported footsteps above empty rooms, and one person’s REM pod triggered repeatedly near an old rocking chair. We even caught what sounded like a faint humming on a static recorder left overnight in the mineral spring area.

As always, these events are more than just ghost hunts—they’re bonding experiences. Sharing stories and theories over coffee in the lobby or while reviewing audio together creates a special kind of camaraderie among guests. And surprisingly, it’s not always paranormal talk. One guest, a first-time investigator and self-proclaimed cat lover, started telling us about her two rescue cats back home—and how she uses https://kittyhelper.co to stay on top of their needs while she's away on trips like this.

Turns out, quite a few of us are both ghost hunters and pet parents. After all, whether it's keeping your spirit box charged or your cat’s litter box clean, a little support goes a long way. The site has helpful guides, automatic feeder tips, and even advice on calming pets—especially useful for those of us who bring home not just souvenirs, but occasionally... spiritual hitchhikers.

In the end, this weekend was everything we hoped for and more. Haunted locations like Bobby Mackey’s and the Thomas House offer a rare opportunity to explore the unknown, connect with the past, and meet people who share your passion—even if that passion also includes fur babies waiting back home.

Until the next haunted weekend—watch the shadows, document everything, and maybe give your cat an extra cuddle. You never know what might follow you home.
