Last week, as we were driving back and forth between our house and Idaho, my husband and I spent quality time listening to podcasts. If you’re not familiar with podcasts, you should really check them out! They are digital audio files that you can listen to or download from the Internet, and they typically have…

Firefighter
This week’s guest/ghost writer is my dear friend and one of my favorite authors, Ophelia Julien, the author of the “Bridgeton Park Cemetery Books.” She JUST released the fourth book in the series, “These Living Eyes.” If you haven’t tried her Bridgeton Park Cemetery, you really should! … I heard this story from the wife…
Kids Say the Darndest Things….
My dad was a Marine, so when I was young, we would move quite a bit. I was actually born in Hawaii, lived there a whole six months, and then we moved to Beaufort, South Carolina. I don’t remember the house we lived in, I was about three when we moved to Chicago. But my…
The Thing in the Closet
Today’s guest/ghost writer is Christine Cacciatore. Chris is a talented author and has written two Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mysteries Kindle World stories. Her latest one, Grave Injury, was just released. This story sent shivers down my spine! I have a true obsession with scary things…the creepier, the better. I love Halloween, horror movies and thrillers and…

I hope you enjoy her story as much as I did! Months after my dad defeated kidney cancer, I visited my parents. We laughed and…
More Than a Mint on Your Pillow
They are our homes away from home. A place to lay our heads after a long day’s drive or an airplane flight. They can be luxurious or creepy – and most of us have had weird feelings staying in one of them. Hotels. I have to admit, even the nicest ones give me pause. I…
The Doctor is In
Last Friday, I met up with two of my favorite authors, Ophelia Julien and Donnie Light. We, along with our spouses, got together for dinner and conversation. (Kudos to the folks at Panera in DeKalb, Illinois for putting up with us.) During dinner, Ophelia told me about a hospital-sponsored program that she thought I would…
Girls Night
I mentioned in an earlier post that I am part of Jim Harold’s Campfire Group on Facebook. It’s a place where people share personal ghost stories. I found the great one by the florist on that site, this one, by Leslie, was equally as good. I messaged her and got her permission to share it…
Missing
A young couple had wanted to attend a special church service that was several hours away from their home in California. But because they had five young children, it had been really hard for them to find a babysitter who would be able to handle the rambunctious crew. Finally, the wife’s parents arranged to visit…
Operator
A few days ago, I was listening to the Jim Croce song, “Operator.” For those of you too young to immediately recognize the song, it’s about a man standing at a phone booth speaking with the operator trying to connect with an old girlfriend who left him for his best, old, ex-friend Ray. The operator,…
