Ghostly Sightings Expected At The Haunted Longwood Village Inn This Halloween Weekend

Online, October 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - What's Halloween without a few ghosts? The Southern Paranormal Research Society (SPRS) and the crew of the Travel Channel's new Shadow Hunting program are both coming to the Orlando area this weekend in hopes of meeting a few of the purported spirits living at the historic Longwood Village Inn.

The Longwood Village Inn, which is the current home of Investorlando Realty, opened as the Waltham Hotel in 1887. It is one of the few remaining 19th century buildings remaining in Florida today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the old hotel houses full service offices and executive suites managed on site by Investorlando Realty.

"Tenants love it because it's a beautiful, unique building and the ghosts - and the ghostbusters - only come out at night," says Broker Lenny Layland, manager and part owner of the Inn.

Legend has it the Inn has been haunted since April 1923 when owner George Clark had a fatal accident in the rear of the hotel while hosting an ice cream social. Since that time, there have been numerous accounts of unexplained shadows and voices, doors opening and closing, cold spots and sightings of children.

The St. Marys, Georgia-based SPRS will be locked down on Saturday night, October 30 using a team with a combined 32 years of experience in hunting ghosts to try to prove their existence at the Inn. Shadow Hunting, a new ghost adventure show on the Travel Channel, will investigate paranormal activity on Friday night, October 29.

Investorlando Realty, and its related real estate investment fund that was formed in 1999, provides individuals multiple, simple and diversified ways to invest in real estate. The newly launched brokerage also offers property management, buyer representation, marketing, and consulting for residential, investment and commercial buyers and sellers.
