On Wednesday night, I was home alone making chicken soup and chili. (Not combined – two separate dishes.) I had them both simmering and thought I’d run upstairs to my office in the attic, download the latest copy I had on the new Mary book that’s coming out next week, and work on it on…

What Made You Believe?
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to speak to a group of young adults about ghosts. I told quite a few stories, shared my own experiences, and then opened it up for questions. A young man raised his hand and asked me what made me believe in ghosts. He said that he’d never…
Someone to Watch Over Me
When my daughter, Sarah, was home from college during the fall, she had an interesting experience in our house. It was mid-morning, she was comfortably dressed, eating breakfast and watching HGTV in our living room. She heard a delivery truck pull up, heard someone walk up the steps and then, after they placed the parcel…
Haunted Malls
Today is Black Friday, a day synonymous with crazy deals, massive amounts of people, and the beginning of the retail Christmas shopping extravaganza. But, as you walk down through those gayly decorated malls with their sparkling silver stars, ginormous ornaments, and plastic Christmas trees, did you ever wonder who else might be haunting the halls?…
Bar Ghosts
A ghost walks into a bar… Wait, stop, that can’t happen, I need to change that! A ghost walks through a bar. And that happens more often than you’d think. Ghosts and bars are like pickup trucks and country music, there is just something about that combination. So, without further ado, let’s go bar-hopping for some…
Sleepy Hollow
When you hear the words “Sleepy Hollow,” you probably conjure up the image of a headless horseman pursuing a tall, gangly schoolteacher through a dense forest and across a wooden bridge. Or, if you are younger, you might be inclined to see a good-looking, Tom Mison traipsing around modern-day Sleepy Hollow trying to banish the…
Dad Ghosts
I’m all for equal opportunity, two weeks ago my blog was about Mom ghosts, so this week I’m going to write about Dad ghosts. Let’s just jump into the first story from a site called Your Ghost Stories: My father passed away on May 19th, 2005, about two weeks before I graduated from high school….
Ghost Stories
This month is a busy month for me. I get a number of requests to tell ghost stories at local libraries, museums, and even our local radio station. Of course, it makes sense with Halloween being the big holiday in October. But did you ever consider why ghost stories are so intriguing to most of…
Ghost Moms
Last week, we talked about guardian ghosts, so this week I thought we could take it one step further with ghost moms. The first story, from Deseret News, is about an experience four Spanish Fork Utah police officers had in March 2015. On Saturday, around noon, a fisherman spotted a vehicle in the Spanish Fork…
Black-Eyed Kids
Several years ago, I was listening to a podcast about Black-eyed Kids or BEK phenomenon. It was an occurrence that I’d never heard of before. But as I listened, I felt the chills creep up my spine and I found myself watching out the window, just to be sure there were no black-eyed kids in…
