In the 1970s, Diane Berthelot and her family visited the village of Worstead in the North Norfolk District for a summer holiday. Diane had recently had surgery, was taking antibiotics, and was feeling unwell, so the family decided to duck out of the summer heat and visit St. Mary Church. Diane decided to sit in…

Ghost Stories
It’s officially the day after Halloween – but I think every day is a good day to hear a ghost story. These first few are from Moneymade.com. “I got called to persistent fire alarms being set off in a block that used to be a poor house in the 1800s. The alarms would go off…
Warning Signs
The idea for this Freaky Friday came this morning as I was watching a Facebook reel about two young girls who were trick-or-treating on their own. They were probably about ten years old, and they knocked on the door of a nice house in a nice neighborhood. A friendly man came to the door and…
The Devil’s Lake Monster
My daughter and her family went camping over Memorial Day weekend at Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin. So, of course, I had to look up all the ghoulies and ghosties that might be haunting the lake. To be fair, I did not tell her about them before she left. But now that they are all home safe…

Last weekend, I was with a group of friends, and we were (of course) discussing paranormal phenomena. One of them brought up the story of the Kandahar Giant.

The new season of Expedition X started this week, and in the first show of the season, Jess and Phil visited a spot that Josh Gates had visited way back in 2009 when he starred in “Destination Truth.” If you remember back to that episode (Season 3, Episode 1), they decided to perform some isolation…
Haunted Stuff – Part Two

Here’s the first item for your perusal: Haunted Doll Active Spirit of an Alcoholic Clown Henry Okay, it starts off sounding creepy…
The Fog
This morning, I was out and about early – before 5 a.m. – driving down our country road toward the highway. There was a thick fog everywhere, and as I passed areas where I knew there had been fatal car accidents, I felt a tightness in my chest and wondered if I was somehow connecting…
The Shelbourne Hotel
My dear friend, Linda, just sent me a well-loved book by the father of all paranormal investigators, Hans Holzer. I’ve been enjoying the stories about his experiences in haunted houses and thought I might share one of those stories with you. This story isn’t in the book but is featured on his Facebook Fan page,…
