Do you believe in coincidences? Or do you think that sometimes things are put in action by powers beyond our control? Last year, Linda De Foe, a friend of mine, sent me a note about The Whaley House in San Diego. She asked me if I’d ever heard of it or visited it. I admitted…

A Ghost with a Nose for News
Since I released “Lethal Distraction – A Pierogies & Pumps Mystery Novella” this week, I thought it would be fun to find a newsroom with a tendency towards the paranormal. As luck would have it, The Wichita Eagle ran an article in their paper in April 2017, entitled “Could that eerie chill at The Eagle be…
Arizona Ghosts
It’s 28 degrees outside, we have about six inches of snow still on the ground and everything is frosted over. It’s time to go to Arizona – at least for some ghost stories. I hope you’ll join me! These stories came from a great website, Tucson.com and their article entitled “28 Creepy Ghost Stories from…
Alaskan Ghosts
Since pretty much the entire United States feels like it’s been transported to Alaska, I thought I’d share some stories about Alaskan ghosts. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many good ghost stories there are about the forty-ninth state. And, although I really hate to give anyone extra chills in this weather, these stories…
Ghosts of Christmas
One of my wonderful readers sent me a link to an article by Smithsonian Magazine and the title was “A Plea to Resurrect the Christmas Tradition of Telling Ghost Stories.” It was a great article, and I highly recommend it. And, since they pleaded, I thought I would go through my files and find ghost…
What’s Hiding in the Woods
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to walk in the forest. I love the noises of the woods – the creaking trees swaying in the wind, the rustle of the leaves as they scatter across the ground, the scampering of tiny feet hurrying away from us, the forest intruders, and…
Pearl Harbor
I was born in Hawaii. Actually, on the island of Oahu, the city of Honolulu. My dad was a Marine and I was born at Tripler Army Hospital. So, Pearl Harbor and the anniversary on December 7th has always been significant to me. Since yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day, I thought I’d do a little…
Haunted Computers
This has been a technologically challenging week for me! My phone died, so I had to rely on my iPad for communication and that just died, too. I haven’t said bad words out loud, but I can assure you I thought them. At times, it felt like my technology was possessed or, at least, haunted. …
Thriller Thursday
I have a confession to make. I was planning on skipping this week’s Freaky Friday post. I figured with Thanksgiving and Black Friday and all of the to-ing and fro-ing, it wouldn’t be missed. Sarah actually suggested, because I’m finishing up Mary 20, that I just repost the Freaky Friday from last year about paranormal…
Keep A Light Burning
Many years ago, my sister and I had the opportunity to stay at a lighthouse on a tiny island not far from Bruce Mines, Northern Ontario. The lighthouse was on a fifteen-acre island, called McKay Island, in Lake Huron. It was built in 1907 and the accommodations were a little rustic, but being on your…
