Theos-Talk Archives (April 1998 Message tt00497)

I have never been to Wheaton or Krotona so I cannot say anything about the
atmosphere at these places.

But I have been to Adyar several times and have stayed there for some weeks
each time. But I have never felt any creepy feeling at all. On the other
hand it was always been a rejuvenating experience and always looks forward
to it.

My 0.02.
