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…

The Greenbrier Ghost
Once again, my dear friend Linda has come upon an amazing story – that I just had to share with the rest of you. Not only is the Greenbrier Ghost a story about a dastardly murder, an avenging spirit, and the only documented case of a murderer convicted by the testimony of a ghost, but…
The Shelbourne Hotel
My dear friend, Linda, just sent me a well-loved book by the father of all paranormal investigators, Hans Holzer. I’ve been enjoying the stories about his experiences in haunted houses and thought I might share one of those stories with you. This story isn’t in the book but is featured on his Facebook Fan page,…
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve – a time for leaving behind the past and ushering in the new. But some things in the past don’t want to be left behind. According to Haunted Journey’s website, there is an infamous ghost who only appears on New Year’s Eve – probably because that was the evening she killed herself…
The Great St Bernard Hospice
During this time of year, the name Charles Dickens often brings up visions of Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge, and a host of ghosts that are set on redeeming an old miser. But another book by Dickens, Little Dorrit, lays claim to another Christmassy – or at least snowy scene that is the perfect backdrop for…
See You In September
Earlier this week, one of my friends, Camille Hack McDaris, asked me if my “house guests” get more active during this time of year. And then suggested that perhaps a Freaky Friday about this subject would be in order. So, here it is! First, personal experience. I have noticed a lot more “corner of my…
Superstitions in Tudor England
It all started with a Facebook post – someone offering tutoring but not quite getting it right. So, I had to post a meme of a Tudor gentleman on horseback looking quite dashing. Then, a brilliant friend replied to me, letting me know that the Tudors were rather unlucky. I didn’t know that – so…
The London Underground – Part Two
Welcome back to the London Underground. Last week we were able to investigate three stops – The Bank, Bethnal Green, and Farringdon. This week we’re going to explore a few more stops and I promise, each one will be as scary or scarier than the last one. All aboard!! Let’s start at the Liverpool Station….
The London Underground – Part One
When I used to live in Chicago, I often took the subway either to school or to work. Working late some nights, I was sometimes the only person standing on the empty platform waiting for the next train. And, I’ve got to say, it was really creepy. But I’m happy to say that it was…
The Morgue
Okay, the title kinds of gives it away, right? Wikipedia offers some interesting facts about the Dover Air Force Base and their morgue. During the Vietnam War, more than 20,000 dead American soldiers were brought back to the United States via Dover. The Vietnam War dead comprise over 90% of all the remains processed at Dover…
