This week we had both a full moon on 12/12 at 12:12 EST, (the last full moon of this decade) and the last Friday the 13th of this decade. That has to mean something, right? That’s a lot of cool numbers falling in the right places. They have to be a sign, a harbinger, or…

Can Your Pet See Ghosts?
Earlier this week, one of my delightful readers sent me a video of her cute, little dog growling and barking at the wall in her bedroom. She had mentioned this reoccurring phenomenon before but happened to have her phone handy, so she could record it for me. I’ve got to say, it freaked me out…
Pleasant Dreams
Last week was a crazy week for me, filled with a bunch of emotional highs and lows. I was feeling stressed, not sleeping well, and it was the week of the full moon. So, I did a lot of tossing and turning during the night. (I’m much better this week!) So, one night, as I…
Kids Say the Darndest Things
Recently, on a Facebook forum I belong to, one parent posted that his daughter said something that really freaked him out. He said, “She woke up from a bad dream literally minutes after we laid her down this evening. She got up extremely upset saying Daddy told her to follow the sparkles to the tower…
The Cherokee Devil
I have a confession to make – and it’s one that I’m not particularly proud of – I watch Mountain Monsters. What, you may ask, is Mountain Monsters? It’s a show that used to be on Destination America and now, in its sixth season, has been moved to the Travel Channel for the show to…
Thin Places
A “thin place” is a place where the veil between this world and the next is thin. A place where you can feel the energy and the magic of the area. The Wild Geese website describes these places like this: “In Irish mythology, a “thin place” was a divider between the physical, tangible world and the…
Child’s Play
Another Halloween treat – a story from the second Tales Around the Jack O’Lantern, one of my favorites because it’s based on a true story. This time, Margaret O’Reilly is telling the tale. “When your father and I were just a young couple and Sean was a wee boy we lived in a small apartment…
The Paper Route
The day had finally arrived, twelve-year-old Timmy O’Reilly was old enough to have his own paper route. How he’d envied those other boys with their pockets filled with change, buying the latest comics books or stopping for a treat at the ice cream parlor. He was, at last, a working man. He had thought of…
Grandma’s Here!
As a grandparent, I know there is nothing that gives me the same joy as visiting with one of my grandchildren. Grandchildren are the reward for having children. They are like compounded interest on the investment you made raising your children. So, why wouldn’t a grandparent want to take the time to say one more…
Safety First
Last week I wrote about an experience I had in the old Union Pacific Railroad Station in Salt Lake City. At the end of the article, I mentioned that if you were going to participate in paranormal investigations, you should protect yourself. Today, I’d like to talk a little about what that kind of protection…
