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…
Viscount Halifax’s Ghosts
“Where are the dead—those who have loved us and whom we have loved; and those to whom we may have done some irreparable injury? Are they gone from us for ever, or do they return? Are they still amongst us, possessed of that undefined, mysterious, and awful existence which the ancient world attributed to the…
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,…
Rest Stops
I will be traveling next week. Unfortunately, it will be down to my mom’s funeral. But I will have the pleasure of my daughter’s company as we drive from the Atlanta area down to the Orlando area. So, in honor of a road trip, I thought it would be “interesting” to investigate paranormal occurrences at…
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve – a time for leaving behind the past and ushering in the new. But some things in the past don’t want to be left behind. According to Haunted Journey’s website, there is an infamous ghost who only appears on New Year’s Eve – probably because that was the evening she killed herself…
The Great St Bernard Hospice
During this time of year, the name Charles Dickens often brings up visions of Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge, and a host of ghosts that are set on redeeming an old miser. But another book by Dickens, Little Dorrit, lays claim to another Christmassy – or at least snowy scene that is the perfect backdrop for…
The Candy Lady
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with murder, and a candy bar or two? The Candy Lady. Okay, that’s not exactly how the song goes – but the urban legend does. Clara Crane was born in the sleepy town of Terrell, Texas in 1871 according to the OnlyInYourState website. Her…
See You In September
Earlier this week, one of my friends, Camille Hack McDaris, asked me if my “house guests” get more active during this time of year. And then suggested that perhaps a Freaky Friday about this subject would be in order. So, here it is! First, personal experience. I have noticed a lot more “corner of my…
Superstitions in Tudor England
It all started with a Facebook post – someone offering tutoring but not quite getting it right. So, I had to post a meme of a Tudor gentleman on horseback looking quite dashing. Then, a brilliant friend replied to me, letting me know that the Tudors were rather unlucky. I didn’t know that – so…
