Laurie and the Ghost of Mary Surratt

[Laurie Verge]

Just a quick note to let you know that I am not avoiding answering the ghost stories at McNair. My home was broken into twice in one week ten days ago, and I have been taking care of personal business. I am happy to report that the gang has been caught, and I am leaving early today to meet with detectives to identify what I hope are my possessions.

Law and Order does really happen in real life, and occasionally the good guys and the police win. I will say that our police have been wonderful to work with on this. It has been an experience after what had already been a frustrating six months dealing with some other unsavory characters related to work, but this steel magnolia (aka She Rebel) is making it through. As I said, I have had more problems with real people than with ghosts, but I will repeat some of the stories I have been told about the presences and even poltergeist at Ft. McNair asap.
