Spirit Guide by Valerie RogersMany psychics believe that within each of us there is an inner voice, sometimes called a inner guide or spirit guide. I've never been entirely sure of this myself, but I am always open to new experiences. I saw a psychic speak several months ago on the importance of finding and...
As a writer myself, I know that managing a writing career is challenging and I am always amazed by those that can accomplish this task. That is why I'm always happy to welcome writers here.

The ghosts of my past having been pulling at my heart strings lately. The pull is so strong is tangible. The pull started long before my visit to my grandmother yesterday, but she only made it worse. For most of my life my grandmother was the dowager empress of the family. She sat in our...
Most ghost stories are creepy. They hint at some unhappy soul lurking just beyond reality waiting to do us harm. The Riverhaven cabin is haunted, but the ghosts there seem pleasant and inviting. This was one of the first haunted places I wrote about, but I am revisiting it since I'm returning to Gatlinburg in a few weeks. ...
There was a Manor House in Oxenby England that was haunted by a phantom cat. Although I love this story, I have been unable to discover whether the house that was haunted is still standing. I have read some information that says the old manor house no longer stands, although without travelling I can't...

My mother-in-law, Nicole, died nine months ago. Her death was wrapped in chaos. Nicole was French and she lived in between France and the states. She died in France and my husband immediately left to clear up her affairs there. I stayed behind and cleaned out her apartment, most of which still sits in boxes in a storage unit....
Although this is a sad story with a horrific mummy toe in it, it isn't a ghost story. In fact, technically speaking, it is completely off topic, so I added a ghost to the picture below to make it more haunting. The story of mummy toe begins with my stupidity (so many of my stories start this way). ...

The Japanese know how to tell a ghost story. When there is a shortage of American horror stories, all we need to do is borrow a premise from Japan to come up with the next "The Ring" or "The Grudge" Reading back over Japan's history and folklore it is easy to see why they are so adept at fashioning such...

He has written history books, magazine and radio articles, TV scripts and has recently completed his first novel. He also writes for the music trade with work such as biographies and concert brochures. He is also a very...

I have noticed a lot of blogs doing give aways this summer. I thought I would follow the crowd and join in the fun. Everyone needs a good book to get them through the summer or a good movie. Summer days are long and hot and without the proper entertainment, they can become oppressive. I would like...

I was told this story in the strictest confidence. Of course, I am retelling it, but I am omitting all names and locations and since I know people all over the nation (even a few in other nations), I believe there is no way it could ever be traced back to the teller. A friend of mine who has known...
My son is in a summer camp this week at a place called Sci Quest. Sci Quest is a hands on science museum that gives children a chance to interact with the exhibits. He and a few of his friends are in a mystery camp, which they love. Aside from the scheduled activities, children are also given a chance...

Dybukk by Elly SimmonsDrag me to Hell is one of my favorite horror movies. It hearkens back to the good old days when Sam Raimi made films that masterfully blended horror with subtle humor to make camp classics that are so good I watch them annually. Evil Dead and Army of Darkness will always be two of...
My parents make jokes about their house. They smile and laugh and tell stories like they only half mean them because they don't want to believe. My father is an engineer and even when confronted by the unexplainable he tries to break it down to concrete laws of physics and motion. Yet, something entirely unexplainable lives in their house. I thought it was poltergeist...
Well, I did it. Having received some excellent encouragement from womagwriter and Jarmara Falconer I edited my piece for New Love Stories and sent it back. Thanks for that.My problem was that since I first submitted the story a year ago they have reduced their wordcount requirements. So not only did I have to add some element to the story, I had to cut down 4700 words to 3800. The editing was harder...

Months ago, when I first started blogging, a fellow blogger name autumnforest offered her advice and support to me as a novice. She suggested blog topics for me and offered me many helpful tips.
