The Morgue

Okay, the title kinds of gives it away, right?  Wikipedia offers some interesting facts about the Dover Air Force Base and their morgue. During the Vietnam War, more than 20,000 dead American soldiers were brought back to the United States via Dover. The Vietnam War dead comprise over 90% of all the remains processed at Dover…

Ghosts Caught on Camera

Several years ago, one of my dear Facebook friends would send me a photo and challenge me to “find the ghost.”  The photos didn’t have any obvious ghosts in them, they were usually photos of rooms or houses – like an old one-room schoolhouse – and she would ask me to see if I felt…

The Cheney Mansion

Earlier this week, one of my wonderful Facebook friends, Debra Dikkers-Golackson Rackow, posted some information on my page about ghost tours at the Cheney Mansion in Jerseyville, Illinois.  I’d never heard of the Cheney Mansion, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a little research. The Cheney Mansion website was experiencing…

Bloody Mary Worth

I was in third grade, walking home from school with a bunch of girls – they were the popular girls, and I was the tagalong.  They told me about a sleep-over they’d had at one of their homes where all the girls went into the bathroom together, turned off the lights, lit a small candle,…

My Grandson’s Friends

Many of you have already been introduced to Ophelia Julien, a dear friend of mine and the author of the wonderful (and scary) Bridgeton Park Cemetery Series. Ophelia just released her newest book in the series – Dream Him Dead: #7 (A Bridgeton Park Cemetery). So, to help promote her new book and to treat…

Saying Goodbye

The statistics on the repercussion of the Covid19 shutdowns are just starting to hit the news cycles. Reports on mental health issues, especially with teenagers, are staggering. We’ve all had friends and acquaintances who owned small businesses or rental properties who are suffering financially. But I believe one of the hardest things we are going…

Creepy Roads, Take Me Home

There are a couple of rules that you should follow when you’re going to build something. One, don’t build a housing development on an old graveyard, and two, don’t build a highway on an ancient Native American burial ground. The Pocahontas Parkway near Richmond, Virginia has a reputation for being very active. But it’s not…

New Year Superstitions

My wonderful mother-in-law was from Scotland and every New Year’s she would remind us that the first person to enter her house on New Year’s Day needed to be a tall, dark, and handsome man bearing a small gift.  Luckily for her, she had two dark-haired, handsome sons. The superstition is called “first footing” and…

Pukwudgies

Pukwudgies – one of those words that freak out my spellcheck and also sound suspiciously like a type of candy.  I had never heard of them until the Astonishing Legends podcast included them in one of their episodes. The Algonquin Indian tribe believes them to be a North American version of a gnome or fairy….
