Allan I've just looked at your site, it looks good but you haven't
compressed any of your images so the file sizes are very large using
allot of bandwidth.
Like your t3.jpg image at the top, is 145.44 KB, you should try and keep all images on your pages to below 20KB at the most.
Also the text on your page is as an image which is 83KB in size, this
is not only using allot of bandwidth with the image file size being
large, but also as an image search engine won't be able to index your
text. You would be better changing this to normal text and using CSS to
get the style you require.
The web site optimisation site at:-
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.mostlyhaunted.org/
Shows your home page to be over 350KB in size!!! which for those uses
with a 56k dial up modem would take over 1 minute for the page to
load!!!
You should try and get the size of your pages down to 30KB to 50KB in size at the most including all your images.
This will not only reduce the bandwidth your site uses, but also those
users on dial up modems don't really want to wait over a minute for
your page to load, so you should attract more visitors.

Your
"Contact Us" sliced image is 32KB which is crazy for such a small .gif
image. I did a quick image job on it and have it down to 3KB which is a
massive reduction on just that image.
