For the past few weeks, we’ve explored some of the creepy places and creatures that come from Ohio. Today, we’re going to go cross-country and visit another great state in our Union – Oklahoma. (Admit it, you just sang the song in your head when you read that word.) I’m not sure if Ghost Hollow…

The Gallipolis Ohio Mothman
If you’ve heard of The Mothman, you’ve probably heard of him connected to the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, right? If not, you might have heard about the 2002 movie called “The Mothman Prophecies” starring Richard Gere. The movie was based on a book by John Keel also called “The Mothman Prophecies.” There’s even…
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…
Ohio
My younger sister used to live in Ohio, in a small town outside of Columbus. It was her paranormal experience in a house she was remodeling that gave me the idea for the Mary O’Reilly stories. My sister, whose name is also Mary, was working with her husband to flip houses. They would buy a…
Can Your Pet See Ghosts?
Earlier this week, one of my delightful readers sent me a video of her cute, little dog growling and barking at the wall in her bedroom. She had mentioned this reoccurring phenomenon before but happened to have her phone handy, so she could record it for me. I’ve got to say, it freaked me out…
Welcome to the Garden
The idea for this blog began when I posted some photos of sunflowers from my garden on my Facebook page. One of my readers responded that she thought that sunflowers were creepy. I had never considered that – and I wondered how many others felt the same way. To my great surprise, there is actually…
A Cool Dip -Really Cool
I’m sitting in my attic office with the window air conditioning going full-blast and a small box fan blowing at me too. My sweet, devoted dog (who refuses to go downstairs where it’s cooler) is laying in front of the air conditioner, soaking up as much cool as he can. The temperature outside is a…
The Thin Blue Line
I have a great deal of admiration and gratitude for police officers and their families. These are men and women who leave their homes every day to protect us, and they never know if they are going to come home or not. I’ve had the honor of receiving a number of emails from officers or…
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…
Our Best Friends
One of my freakiest up-close-and-personal encounters with an apparition was when I was working through the night in my attic office. 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…
