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.

Ohio
My younger sister used to live in Ohio, in a small town outside of Columbus. It was her paranormal experience in a house she was remodeling that gave me the idea for the Mary O’Reilly stories. My sister, whose name is also Mary, was working with her husband to flip houses. They would buy a…
Haints
A couple of days ago, my sister, Maureen Tan, posted a story from Atlas Obscura about the color called “haint blue” on her Facebook page.

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…
Pleasant Dreams
One night, several years ago, as I lay awake in my bed telling myself to go fall asleep, something odd happened. I felt pressure on the bed behind me. It felt like someone – an adult – had just sat on the edge of the bed. I could feel the dip in the mattress behind…
Kids Say the Darndest Things
Recently, on a Facebook forum I belong to, one parent posted that his daughter said something that really freaked him out.
