Pukwudgies – one of those words that freak out my spellcheck and also sound suspiciously like a type of candy. I had never heard of them until the Astonishing Legends podcast included them in one of their episodes. The Algonquin Indian tribe believes them to be a North American version of a gnome or fairy….

House Hunting
When I’ve gone house-hunting, I generally look for a couple of things – closets and places to put “stuff”, a nice kitchen with lots of lights, and a place for the Christmas tree. Everything beyond that is kind of secondary. Of course, I haven’t been house-hunting for about thirty years, so maybe my expectations will…
DePaul Hospital
This is an experience that Dave Young, founder of the paranormal investigation group called Paladin Paranormal. He’s located in Abita Springs, Louisiana, and loves to share all kinds of interesting experiences. Thank you so much, Dave, for letting me share your experience!

The Stockwell Poltergeist
Several forums I follow about the paranormal have had discussions about the increase of activity since the lockdown. Is it because we’re home that we’re just seeing paranormal activity that just goes on when we’re not there? Is it because the ghosts are getting tired of us hanging around the house all day? Or is…
Kids Say the Darndest Things 2
Last November, I wrote a Freaky Friday about some of the creepy and unexplained things children say. I thought it was time to find some more creepy things – you know, before we are all out of lockdown and can’t be as freaked out as well. Here are some from Reddit: I was playing with…
Ghost Horses
Back in the mid-seventies, Michael Martin Murphey performed a song called “Wildfire.” It was a song about a horse that gets lost in a blizzard and its owner, a young woman, goes out searching for it. Both the woman and the horse die in the storm. (See, it’s one of those uplifting kinds of songs.)…
Dancing Plague
In Illinois, we have been ordered to stay-at-home, not that it’s unusual for me, because I work at home. But it’s unusual because I have company now, there are three other adults who are sharing my normally isolated space. As I look through Facebook, I’m finding quite a few reports of people who suddenly are…
Ohio Monsters – The Loveland Frogman
Why is it whenever I hear the word “monsters” anymore, the voice in my head is the Gingerbread Man from Shrek? “You’re a monster!” Sorry, I digress. Here we are, back in Ohio, and today we are going to be exploring one of Ohio’s favorite monsters. My starting off website is Akron Ohio Moms website,…
Let’s Go Back to Ohio!!!
Last week we started our journey into the weird and wonderful paranormal happenings in Ohio. And, I really was going to write about something else this week – until I found this amazing story by Chris Bambam on the Astonishing Legends Facebook page. I contacted Chris and he was kind enough to let me share…
Can Your Pet See Ghosts?
Earlier this week, one of my delightful readers sent me a video of her cute, little dog growling and barking at the wall in her bedroom. She had mentioned this reoccurring phenomenon before but happened to have her phone handy, so she could record it for me. I’ve got to say, it freaked me out…
