First, I have to get this out of the way. Whenever I hear the name “Bruce,” my mind sings it with a rolling “r” and a lot of “s’s” at the end. And then, the words “don’t bring me down” also accompany the thought. Now, perhaps you already know that when the Electric Light Orchestra…

A Ritual for Conjuring Spirits
Generally, the week of the New Year brings with it advice on losing weight, getting organized, setting goals, and jump-starting your life. So, why not try something totally different? Conjuring spirits. Now, I actually don’t recommend that you conjure spirits – just as I don’t recommend that you use a Ouija board because you never…
Dog Ghosts
I was re-reading “Good Tidings- A Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mystery (Book Two) last week because it’s set during this time of year, and I just love that story. In this book, if you remember, Mary picks up a new ghost friend in front of Chicago’s Anti-Cruelty Society building, a ghost dog. And it turns out…

Did you know that you can buy haunted stuff on eBay? Well, neither did I! But then I Googled “haunted items,” and guess what showed up? Hmmm, shall we do a little shopping? Here’s the first item for your perusal: Haunted Doll Active Spirit of an Alcoholic Clown Henry Okay, it starts off sounding creepy…
Haunted Stuff
As the mother of four boys, I can tell you that I have walked into a messy bedroom filled with dirty clothes and smelling of a gym locker and was sure that at least the socks were alive – and scary. But there have been many instances where ordinary items have carried with them a…
The Fog

A Very Spirited Football Stadium
September is here, and that means apple cider donuts, falling leaves, back-to-school, and FOOTBALL season. There is nothing like getting dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans, going to the local high school or college stadium, watching football, or watching the ghosts watching football. An October 2020 ESPN article called “Seven of the most haunted venues…
Clairaudience
Many of you are familiar with my good friend and paranormal author, Ophelia Julien. (If not, you NEED to check her out on Amazon and Facebook.) She sent out her monthly newsletter, and it was amazing, as usual. So I asked her if I could use it for this week’s Freaky Friday. If you think…
Believe in Yourself – Bigfoot
It’s got to be tough to be a Bigfoot. You’re probably an introvert; you hate crowds and meaningless small talk. You keep to yourself, living a green life and being fairly self-sufficient. You try not to bother anyone else; as a matter of fact, you have “not bothering” other people down to an art. And,…
Intuition
“A few years back, some friends and I took a stroll down a closed-for-the-season road in a national park. We heard a weird noise in the distance that could have been an owl. But the three of us suddenly felt like whatever made that noise was coming after us. We beat it back to the…
