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…

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…
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…
Grandma’s Visit
During the past few weeks, I’ve met some very interesting authors who have great stories to share- so I’ve invited them to guest blog. I met David Hatton through my Twitter account. David is from Lancashire, England. He spent a year living in Chicago before traveling across America; his second home. He released his first…
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Okay, just by reading the title of this Freaky Friday, you know that this is not going to be one of those light-hearted blogs. According to their website, The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (aka the Weston State Hospital) served as a sanctuary for the mentally ill beginning in the mid-1880s. It is the largest hand-cut stone…
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…
OHIO UNIVERSITY, ATHENS OHIO
For the second in our burgeoning series of haunted universities, I chose Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. I had a nephew who attended Ohio U and he had stories about the weird things that happened there – and a few buildings he stayed away from. So, I thought it would be interesting to see what…
University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana
The trees around my house have already begun dropping their leaves. The stores are filled with school supplies – along with Halloween candy. Vacations have ended and the school year is already halfway into its first quarter. For those of you with children who just graduated from high school, you’ve probably recently taken your first…
House Calls?
As I’ve researched ghosts and heard stories, one of the things I’ve learned is that some ghosts follow the patterns they established when they were alive. A jogger who has a heart attack on the park path and dies, might just show up on that same path in a month or so and keep jogging….
