I’ve been really enjoying reading the reviews of haunted hotels on TripAdvisor. These are real people who had a paranormal experience, get to share it, and rate it. How often do you get to do that? The Overland Hotel & Saloon is located in Pioche, Nevada. According to Ghosttowns.com, in the 1860s Pioche, Nevada was the…

Old Montana State Prison
I have always loved Montana. I think it goes back to when I was a child in grammar school and we learned the song, “My Home’s in Montana,” an old cowboy ballad. I lived in Chicago, so anything that spoke of ponies, cowboys, open ranges and campfires was AWESOME! This week my husband and I…
Plessey Woods Park
I came upon this interesting news article printed in the Irish Mirror and I had to share it for this week’s Freaky Friday. A mother-of-two has been left terrified and unable to sleep after a ghostly child appeared in a picture she took of her son playing in the woods. Laura Watson claims the small child…
Ghost Ships
Last week I had the chance to tour the St. Augustine Lighthouse and climb the 219 steps all the way to the top! Once we made it back down and happily purchased COLD water from one of the workers, she thoughtfully advised us that the most air-conditioned spot on the lighthouse grounds was the second…
Beverly Hills Inn
This week I’m in the Atlanta, Georgia area visiting with my daughter and her family. So, what better way to spend some vacation time than looking into really scary places? I love the story about Atlanta’s Beverly Hills Inn. The property, which is now apartments, started out as an apartment building for widowed and single…
Hawaii Part 2 – Pele
Last week we talked about the creepy and disturbing Kappa, and this week I thought I’d share another one of Hawaii’s mystical myths. One of the interesting spirits is Pele. This is what Activity Authority says about Pele: While Pele assumes myriad forms, she is perhaps best known – and most feared – for taking on the shape…
Hawaii’s Kappa
One of my daughters will be going to Hawaii with her family and her husband’s family in early May. Like most good moms, I’m doing a little research to locate really interesting things for her to do. Probably unlike most moms, my research has more to do with things that go bump in the night…
Ghost Children
For the past week, and for the next couple of weeks, we have the absolute pleasure of having my daughter, Sarah, and her three-year-old son, Ian, staying with us. (We had the pleasure of her husband, Jon, staying with us for a week, but now he’s back at school.) So, there all kinds of different…
Corporeal Ghosts
Several years ago, my husband, youngest son, and I took a trip to Maine. The trip itself was a continuing example of Murphy’s Law – and we finally arrived in Bar Harbor late at night. It was raining, of course, and as we drove over a bridge, I saw a man dressed in raingear standing…
Kelli’s Stories
I really was going to pace these stories from my wonderful readers out a little. But they are SO GOOD, I have to share them with you. Once again, if you want to share an experience that happened to you, just send it to me at author@terrireid.com If you would like it to remain anonymous,…
