The other night, as I was cooking dinner, my husband turned on a new show on Netflix called “Warrior Nun.” I watched it as I cooked, so I probably missed about a third of the show, but the plotline was intriguing, and we’ll probably go back and watch some more. Nuns have always been a…
The Stockwell Poltergeist
Several forums I follow about the paranormal have had discussions about the increase of activity since the lockdown. Is it because we’re home that we’re just seeing paranormal activity that just goes on when we’re not there? Is it because the ghosts are getting tired of us hanging around the house all day? Or is…
Ghost Trains
On Tuesday afternoon, toward the end of my live feed telling ghost stories, we started chatting about ghost trains. Terrie S. asked, “Do you think there could be haunted trains or just a ghost driving them? A few years ago, just as we went to bed, there was a train that roared right outside our…
How To Become An Indie Author YouTube
Hi!!! For those of you who are going to listen to my video – here’s a link to a PowerPoint presentation to go along with it. The presentation was initially created for high school students, so, at the end when it asks, “But you’re just a high school student…you can’t be a published author, right?!?!”…
Kids Say the Darndest Things 2
Last November, I wrote a Freaky Friday about some of the creepy and unexplained things children say. I thought it was time to find some more creepy things – you know, before we are all out of lockdown and can’t be as freaked out as well. Here are some from Reddit: I was playing with…
Happy Walpurgisnacht!

Well, since it was last Tuesday. April 30th, and lasted throughout Wednesday, May 1st, you might still find some decorations and treats in the discount section of your local WalpurgisMart….
Ghost Lights
Because of the COVID19 lockdown, theaters all across the world are now closed down. But the one thing that these theaters have in common is the ghost lights that are kept lit in an otherwise completely dark theater. Some would say that the ghost light is lit for practical purposes, so no one steps off…
Toms River Haunted House
Wednesday night I had the pleasure of chatting with the folks from “The Beer Latte Podcast,” a podcast originating from Toms River, New Jersey. On their side of the line was Steve Del Prete, his wife, Danielle, his brother, Nick, and their friend, Dani. On my side of the line was…just me (but I think…
Ghost Horses
Back in the mid-seventies, Michael Martin Murphey performed a song called “Wildfire.” It was a song about a horse that gets lost in a blizzard and its owner, a young woman, goes out searching for it. Both the woman and the horse die in the storm. (See, it’s one of those uplifting kinds of songs.)…
Dancing Plague
In Illinois, we have been ordered to stay-at-home, not that it’s unusual for me, because I work at home. But it’s unusual because I have company now, there are three other adults who are sharing my normally isolated space. As I look through Facebook, I’m finding quite a few reports of people who suddenly are…
