Last January the husband and I took a trip to a nearby resort for our eight year anniversary of dating. I did some research and learned that there was a newly installed bowling lane in the basement of this particular resort/hotel. Excited for a fun indoor activity in the depths of winter and with the expectation that many other guests would find this a fun evening outing, I made reservations for a saturday night private bowl (how unusual is that--really!).
So we get to the 2-lane bowling alley. From the looks of it , it seems as though the system was an 80's-era Brunswick that was a distant cousin to the classic Nintendo gaming system. We assumed it had been reassembled on-site and a chat with an employee confirmed our suspicion. So we try to play. The pinsetter shuts down almost immediately and the electronic scoring system didn't have a prayer of working (this part we could have made due without). This shut-down seemed to eerily coincide with my opening of the bowling room's door that appeared to have an electric trigger of some sort installed (it didn't). An employee was called to fix the problem, but ultimately no success.
Dejected from an expectant game of bowling the husband and I headed to the bar to partake in the more reliable activity of celebratory drinking vs. bowling. Maybe next time (did I mention this resort's hotel was allegedly haunted?--May have had some role in our electrical problems). Also, once when we were in our room I opened the door to look in the hall and the tv shut off at the exact moment I opened the door. The husband failed to tell me the place was haunted until we were safely in our car going home, and I had managed to sleep soundly through the night--what a sweetie!
