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…
Let’s Go Back to Ohio!!!
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…
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,…
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…
Our Best Friends

It was about four in the morning and my beloved Riley, a Golden Retriever/Bernese Mountain Dog mix, looked up from the couch he was resting on, glanced over to the attic stairs and wagged…
Boleskine House
Last week, we chatted about house hunting and making sure that you don’t purchase a house with extra, paranormal residents. Or, depending on what you want, finding a house with extra, paranormal residents. Just in case you’re one of the latter house hunters, here’s a potential ideal house for you that currently on the market….
House Hunting
A couple of weeks ago, I was reading through the posts on a Dead Files Facebook page and someone asked, “what happens to the houses that people sell when Amy says the families have to move out and can no longer live there?” I responded, “I think Zillow needs to add a category in their…
Hannah House
In another Facebook group I belong to, someone posted a photo of an old Victorian house being moved from one place to another on the back of a flatbed truck. The house had sat for years, it had been boarded up and no one was inside. Yet, there in the photo was an image of…
Friends (Part One)
Last weekend my husband, Richard, and I drove to Dover, Delaware to participate in the blessing of our nineteenth grandchild, Blake. We left our home early Thursday morning and then ended our driving day in Cumberland, Maryland. Let me give you a little history about Cumberland. It was named by English colonists after the son…
