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…
Fort Drum Barracks Ghosts
When I think about the Civil War, I tend to picture places like Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, Antietam in Maryland, Fort Sumter in South Carolina, or Shiloh in Tennessee. The first state that comes to mind is never California. And yet, California actually paid an important part in the War Between the States. For a quick…
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.

The Stockwell Poltergeist
Several forums I follow about the paranormal have had discussions about the increase of activity since the lockdown. Is it because we’re home that we’re just seeing paranormal activity that just goes on when we’re not there? Is it because the ghosts are getting tired of us hanging around the house all day? Or is…
Doctors and Nurses – Our Heroes
A few years ago, while at dinner with my friends the Juliens and the Lights, Ophelia told me about a hospital-sponsored program that she thought I would have loved, about medicine and spirituality. The guest speaker was Scott J. Kolbaba, MD and he is the author of “Physicians’ Untold Stories.” After hearing some of the…
