How much do I LOVE this job? OMG I dont believe I could accurately say. Honestly, its not just the creepy aspect of it, but the history, and the fact that I get to meet so many interesting people from all over as well.
I had a really great tour last night, a great group that just made my night. Not all groups are like that. Sometimes, they are grumpy or just dont want to be there because a spouse or friend or family member brought them because they didnt want to go alone. Its a shame sometimes when people like that make a tour not so fun, but it does happen all the time. I realize that its not for everyone, but why be a downer and ruin everyone elses time? Doesnt make sense to me.
But last night was great. A small group that was having fun and everyone was polite and interested and asked questions and not one disrespectful word. How refreshing.
Anyway, just wanted to talk a little about this job...well, not a job, its a love. Maybe I will talk some more about it if anyone wants to know. Who knows right?

I have always wanted to go on a ghost tour, but like you pointed out some people can't find a willing person to go along :( i have asked my boyfriend to go with me on one when we go to San Francisco because I think it would be neat, i think whether you believe in ghosts or not (i do myself very much though),,,I think a ghost tour would still be educational and fun either way but no matter what I say i cannot convince my boyfriend :( what kind of ghost tours do you do?

I went on a ghost tour in Florida a few years ago and I really had fun. We went to the courtroom where Ted Bundy had been tried and had allegedly carved his name on the seat. I remember thinking then what a neat job the tour guide had, but she did a terrific job and really made in interesting. I think we'd have been a group you'd have liked!
