Many of you have already been introduced to Ophelia Julien, a dear friend of mine and the author of the wonderful (and scary) Bridgeton Park Cemetery Series.

Saying Goodbye
The statistics on the repercussion of the Covid19 shutdowns are just starting to hit the news cycles. Reports on mental health issues, especially with teenagers, are staggering. We’ve all had friends and acquaintances who owned small businesses or rental properties who are suffering financially. But I believe one of the hardest things we are going…
Creepy Roads, Take Me Home
There are a couple of rules that you should follow when you’re going to build something. One, don’t build a housing development on an old graveyard, and two, don’t build a highway on an ancient Native American burial ground. The Pocahontas Parkway near Richmond, Virginia has a reputation for being very active. But it’s not…
Halloween and A Blue Moon
Because tomorrow is Halloween and, on top of that, we are going to have a full, blue moon, I thought we needed some good old-fashioned ghost stories today. Let me start by explaining that scary things have been happening in my house. I wake up in the morning and things that had been on tables…
House Hunting
When I’ve gone house-hunting, I generally look for a couple of things – closets and places to put “stuff”, a nice kitchen with lots of lights, and a place for the Christmas tree. Everything beyond that is kind of secondary. Of course, I haven’t been house-hunting for about thirty years, so maybe my expectations will…

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.)…
Oklahoma – Ghost Hollow and Satan’s House
For the past few weeks, we’ve explored some of the creepy places and creatures that come from Ohio. Today, we’re going to go cross-country and visit another great state in our Union – Oklahoma. (Admit it, you just sang the song in your head when you read that word.) I’m not sure if Ghost Hollow…
