In 2006, I was now on the planning committee for Ghost Trolley this year with the Minnesota Streetcar Museum.  So instead of doing a haunted house at Kathy's Mother's house, I stayed and assisted Ghost Trolley all 4 nights, being the Fri-Sat-Sun before Halloween and Halloween Night.  This year's theme was A Streetcar Named Expire.  I played a volunteer named Stanley who was taken away by the ghosts out of Lakewood Cemetery many years ago.  So for Ghost Trolley 2006, Stanley assists the passengers on his "one last ride" in ridding the streetcar of the ghosts and ghouls at the end of the line by having everyone make "whistle noises" and scare the poltergeists away.  Here are a few photos from the different nights.  Click on the picture for the full size photo.
