Last week we talked about the creepy and disturbing Kappa, and this week I thought I’d share another one of Hawaii’s mystical myths. One of the interesting spirits is Pele. This is what Activity Authority says about Pele: While Pele assumes myriad forms, she is perhaps best known – and most feared – for taking on the shape…
Hawaii’s Kappa
One of my daughters will be going to Hawaii with her family and her husband’s family in early May. Like most good moms, I’m doing a little research to locate really interesting things for her to do. Probably unlike most moms, my research has more to do with things that go bump in the night…
Ghost Children
For the past week, and for the next couple of weeks, we have the absolute pleasure of having my daughter, Sarah, and her three-year-old son, Ian, staying with us. (We had the pleasure of her husband, Jon, staying with us for a week, but now he’s back at school.) So, there all kinds of different…
Corporeal Ghosts
Several years ago, my husband, youngest son, and I took a trip to Maine. The trip itself was a continuing example of Murphy’s Law – and we finally arrived in Bar Harbor late at night. It was raining, of course, and as we drove over a bridge, I saw a man dressed in raingear standing…
Kelli’s Stories
I really was going to pace these stories from my wonderful readers out a little. But they are SO GOOD, I have to share them with you. Once again, if you want to share an experience that happened to you, just send it to me at [email protected] If you would like it to remain anonymous,…
Haunted Restaurants
Last week, I decided to “scare” up a bunch of haunted hotels for your reading pleasure, so this week I thought it would be appropriate to tell you about some haunted restaurants. The first one is The Hope and Anchor Pub in Rockford, Illinois. I found out about it when I asked Kathi Kresol from…
The Empress Hotel
We’re heading into the end of March and pretty soon we’ll be moving into vacation time. Traveling down highways, stopping for the night in hotels and motels, or maybe even staying for an extended period of time in a hotel or motel to visit all the sights in a certain area. There is a fairly…
The Headless Nun
This week we celebrated International Women’s Day, so I really thought it would be nice to have a ghost story about a nice, strong, woman ghost. And, dum-da-da-dum, I found one! The woman was Sister Marie Inconnue and her story is set in the 1800s. Now, to tell you the truth, her last name is…
Eochaidh (Book 2) – Now Available
The second book in the Legend of the Horsemen. Over a thousand years ago a brave band of Knights of the Round Table agreed to enter Morganna’s castle and remove an ancient spell that allowed the sorceress the ability to travel in time. But they had been betrayed, Morganna caught the young men and despite…
Eliza Battle
It’s March 1, 1858, and it’s a dark and stormy night. You are riding down the Tombigbee River in Alabama on a luxurious riverboat that has hosted dignitaries from all over the United States. She’s called the Eliza Battle and she is a side-wheeler steamboat, weighing in at a mere 315 tons. Now, you’re a…
