Last week we started our journey into the weird and wonderful paranormal happenings in Ohio. And, I really was going to write about something else this week – until I found this amazing story by Chris Bambam on the Astonishing Legends Facebook page. I contacted Chris and he was kind enough to let me share…

Ohio
My younger sister used to live in Ohio, in a small town outside of Columbus. It was her paranormal experience in a house she was remodeling that gave me the idea for the Mary O’Reilly stories. My sister, whose name is also Mary, was working with her husband to flip houses. They would buy a…
Remodeling with Ghosts
During the first few days of the New Year, I like to sit down and put together my list of goals for the upcoming twelve months. Part of that list are the things we need to get accomplished around the house. You know, things like painting the bedroom, cleaning out the attic, organizing the basement,…
Can Your Pet See Ghosts?
Earlier this week, one of my delightful readers sent me a video of her cute, little dog growling and barking at the wall in her bedroom. She had mentioned this reoccurring phenomenon before but happened to have her phone handy, so she could record it for me. I’ve got to say, it freaked me out…
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…
Grandma’s Here!
As a grandparent, I know there is nothing that gives me the same joy as visiting with one of my grandchildren. Grandchildren are the reward for having children. They are like compounded interest on the investment you made raising your children. So, why wouldn’t a grandparent want to take the time to say one more…
Safety First
Last week I wrote about an experience I had in the old Union Pacific Railroad Station in Salt Lake City. At the end of the article, I mentioned that if you were going to participate in paranormal investigations, you should protect yourself. Today, I’d like to talk a little about what that kind of protection…
The Shadow Man
A little over six years ago, I was invited to have a meet and greet at the Barnes and Noble at the Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City, Utah. I met some wonderful people there, including a paranormal investigative group who shared their amazing EVPs with me. We had a great time and, even though…
The Gray Man
Last week I wrote about being prepared, this week I’m going to share another sort of “emergency warning” the folks in the Carolinas have when the weather gets bad. Most of us start to really worry when Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel shows up in our neck of the woods. He’s actually been close…
Campfire Stories
I spent last week with a lovely group of girls at Boy Scouts’ Camp (there were no boys, we took the place over) near the Mississippi River south of the Quad Cities. The girls I got to work with were considered “first years” and they were eleven and twelve-year-olds. We had fifteen girls and four…
