Early Retirement
Dear Ghost-Of-A-Murder-Victim-That-Hangs-Out-Over-My-Bed, I do hope this letter finds you well as I recognize this my first attempt at correspondence after our last encounter.

Sally: Part Six
“Of course. This shit would happen to me,” Emilee murmured as she searched through the sand by the burnt debris. “I just wanted a simple life, but here I am.” She found nothing but seashells and a broken beach shovel. Her patience was disappearing faster than daylight. “I don’t even know what color the journal ... -

Growing Up In A Haunted House
For a long time, when someone said they didn’t believe in ghosts, I would tell them to come to my house for dinner. We have lived in our family home for about 20 years, and the paranormal activity still never ceases to amaze me. I was never one to be afraid of ghosts, growing up ... -
Haunted Myths And Legends For Halloween
It’s October woo hoo! October and Halloween is probably my most favorite time of the year. Before I moved to the desert of Arizona, I lived on the east coast. The leaves turned the most amazing shades of crimson, orange, and yellows. The temps became cooler and the night air was crisp and clean. The ... -
What To Remember When Playing With Your Ouija Board
You just purchased a brand-new Ouija board and now you’re excited to try it out. Yet, you’ve heard stories about them and wonder if those stories are true. Every game has rules. Yes, even Ouija. You say that the Ouija is just a piece of board with letters and numbers on it. It’s inert. How ...
