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…
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.

Wednesday night I had the pleasure of chatting with the folks from “The Beer Latte Podcast,” a podcast originating from Toms River, New Jersey.

The guest speaker was Scott J. Kolbaba, MD and he is the author of “Physicians’ Untold Stories.” After hearing some of the…
Pleasant Dreams
One night, several years ago, as I lay awake in my bed telling myself to go fall asleep, something odd happened. I felt pressure on the bed behind me. It felt like someone – an adult – had just sat on the edge of the bed. I could feel the dip in the mattress behind…
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…
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…
