This sort of thing fascinates me....
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

There's one in Bethany that I've been to. My daughter has paid to spend the night roaming around the place. They did an episode of Ghost hunters there.
