The other day, I was searching for information about brownies – the little people kind, not the delicious, gooey, chocolate kind – and I happened across the story about the Cauld Lad of Hylton, and then I went down a rabbit hole. So, welcome to my rabbit hole. According to the Sunderland Echo website, the…

Charleville Castle
After I posted last week’s Freaky Friday, I received two comments from friends—Kate Mayo and Wyatt Herrmann—about the series “Haunted Ireland,” which also featured a story about Leap Castle. I was not disappointed—the investigation at Leap Castle was amazing! Of course, now I’m binge-watching (well, binge for me is more than one show in a…
Leap Castle
Since yesterday was Leap Day, and we only get those every four years, I thought I’d take advantage of it and talk about Leap Castle. According to theirishroadtrip.com, Leap Castle is the most haunted castle in Ireland – and that’s saying a lot! Leap Castle is one of the longest continually inhabited castles in Ireland,…
The Bruce Castle Ghost
First, I have to get this out of the way. Whenever I hear the name “Bruce,” my mind sings it with a rolling “r” and a lot of “s’s” at the end. And then, the words “don’t bring me down” also accompany the thought. Now, perhaps you already know that when the Electric Light Orchestra…
A Ritual for Conjuring Spirits
Generally, the week of the New Year brings with it advice on losing weight, getting organized, setting goals, and jump-starting your life. So, why not try something totally different? Conjuring spirits. Now, I actually don’t recommend that you conjure spirits – just as I don’t recommend that you use a Ouija board because you never…
Dog Ghosts
I was re-reading “Good Tidings- A Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mystery (Book Two) last week because it’s set during this time of year, and I just love that story. In this book, if you remember, Mary picks up a new ghost friend in front of Chicago’s Anti-Cruelty Society building, a ghost dog. And it turns out…
Haunted Stuff – Part Two

Here’s the first item for your perusal: Haunted Doll Active Spirit of an Alcoholic Clown Henry Okay, it starts off sounding creepy…
The Fog
This morning, I was out and about early – before 5 a.m. – driving down our country road toward the highway. There was a thick fog everywhere, and as I passed areas where I knew there had been fatal car accidents, I felt a tightness in my chest and wondered if I was somehow connecting…
The Old Hag
Remember when everyone said that UFOs were figments of our imagination and anyone who said they saw a UFO was a kook? Yes, good times, good times! Not only did the government know that UFOs were real, but they also had videos and documentation to verify their existence. It’s so nice knowing you can trust…
The Bridgewater Triangle
It seems like everyone has a triangle these days. Of course, we’ve all heard of the Bermuda Triangle, and lately, there have been shows about the Alaska Triangle. There are also the Bennington Triangle, the Bass Strait Triangle (which is a little confusing because how can a strait be a triangle?), the Vile Vortices (I…
