After I posted last week’s Freaky Friday, I received two comments from friends—Kate Mayo and Wyatt Herrmann—about the series “Haunted Ireland,” which also featured a story about Leap Castle. I was not disappointed—the investigation at Leap Castle was amazing! Of course, now I’m binge-watching (well, binge for me is more than one show in a…

Leap Castle
Since yesterday was Leap Day, and we only get those every four years, I thought I’d take advantage of it and talk about Leap Castle. According to theirishroadtrip.com, Leap Castle is the most haunted castle in Ireland – and that’s saying a lot! Leap Castle is one of the longest continually inhabited castles in Ireland,…
The Bruce Castle Ghost
First, I have to get this out of the way. Whenever I hear the name “Bruce,” my mind sings it with a rolling “r” and a lot of “s’s” at the end. And then, the words “don’t bring me down” also accompany the thought. Now, perhaps you already know that when the Electric Light Orchestra…
A Ritual for Conjuring Spirits
Generally, the week of the New Year brings with it advice on losing weight, getting organized, setting goals, and jump-starting your life. So, why not try something totally different? Conjuring spirits. Now, I actually don’t recommend that you conjure spirits – just as I don’t recommend that you use a Ouija board because you never…
Dog Ghosts
I was re-reading “Good Tidings- A Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mystery (Book Two) last week because it’s set during this time of year, and I just love that story. In this book, if you remember, Mary picks up a new ghost friend in front of Chicago’s Anti-Cruelty Society building, a ghost dog. And it turns out…
Haunted Stuff – Part Two
Did you know that you can buy haunted stuff on eBay? Well, neither did I! But then I Googled “haunted items,” and guess what showed up? Hmmm, shall we do a little shopping? 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 Old Hag
Remember when everyone said that UFOs were figments of our imagination and anyone who said they saw a UFO was a kook? Yes, good times, good times! Not only did the government know that UFOs were real, but they also had videos and documentation to verify their existence. It’s so nice knowing you can trust…
The Bridgewater Triangle
It seems like everyone has a triangle these days. Of course, we’ve all heard of the Bermuda Triangle, and lately, there have been shows about the Alaska Triangle. There are also the Bennington Triangle, the Bass Strait Triangle (which is a little confusing because how can a strait be a triangle?), the Vile Vortices (I…
The Greenbrier Ghost
Once again, my dear friend Linda has come upon an amazing story – that I just had to share with the rest of you. Not only is the Greenbrier Ghost a story about a dastardly murder, an avenging spirit, and the only documented case of a murderer convicted by the testimony of a ghost, but…
