Traveling Toby visits in Altoona, PA On Friday July 7th, 2006 my family and I arrived home from vacation to find a surprise guest on our dining room table. Traveling Toby had come unannounced and had found us away for the week. Apparently he took it upon himself to visit a few of the sights while we were gone.
Toby must be a Penn State fan cause he went over the mountain to Happy Valley to visit Beaver Stadium home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. There he is above the "The".
Toby pondering all the relationships consummated upon the statue of the Nittany Lion - yes one of the odd traditions of drunken undergrads since 1940 when the statue was ... erected.
Since Toby is a big fan of the SciFi channel show "Ghosthunters" he decided to visit two of the sites that the very first episode included. Even though TAPS declared both un-haunted, Toby thought they were creepy just the same.
The RailRoaders Museum where the ghost of one of the shop workers - the original use of the building that now houses the museum - has been seen.
The Mishler Theater where the likes of Harry Houdini played and employees have seen the ghost of the late owner walking the catwalk late at night. Both sites have been known to host haunted attractions in October. Fortunately Toby took photos of his little visit to Altoona. Best of luck on your travels Toby - The Nottingham Family. |
