So it seems our old new house is haunted as I originally feared/expected. First of all, spider webs are EVERYWHERE. I dropped a cap from a juice bottle accidentally and it fell down the basement stairs. I groaned and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the banister to go down the stairs to pick it up […]

The Dog Is Turning Out To Be a Little Creepy
For those who have kept vague track of what I’ve been ranting about lately… my husband and I adopted a incredibly-traumatized dog named June Carter Cash back in December 2021. She is cute. No doubt about it. But she is also the hottest of hot messes. Case in point, she ran full speed into the […]
The Darkness
There are some nights – tonight and last night – where I think “I’m just going to bed. This day has felt too terrible too long and it simply needs to end. Here’s to tomorrow.” But then tomorrow comes. And it feels the same. My fucking IUD removal (or Mirena crash which many doctors deny) […]
An American’s Entitled Perspective on Scotland 2007-2010 😂
When most of the world announced that they would not be allowing Americans to travel to their countries due to our really poor handling of the coronavirus, I imagine a cheer rose from the crowd in at least a couple Scottish pubs. I’m sure there were more cheers in more pubs but I can only […]
Security Bot, Ken, Having a Hard Time Like the Rest of Us
I think our security bot Ken is feeling insecure. He can join the club. Or maybe it’s just Monday again and, while reliable, its arrival doesn’t help morale. It’s especially weird because I don’t even have a “regular weekday work schedule” so I have no idea what my problem with this day is. Last week […]
Back in Milwaukee, Paranormal Activity Outpaced by Criminal Activity
After a year in Pittsburgh, we moved back to Milwaukee and rented a pest/rodent-infested apartment in a kind-of-bad neighborhood which always has car alarms going off and which also comes with the creepiest daily interruption: The ice cream cart was novel when we first moved in and then it lost its charm. There is a […]
The Murmuring at 4:40 AM
After Mom’s death, we lived in the first house we owned for another year. And, after her death, the house got right back to its old haunted routine. In our final year, and when now looking back, only three incidents really stick out. The first of the three occurred only days after my mom’s funeral. […]
What the Others Saw
As time went on, more souls were to experience the unexplained, creepy and unusual happenings which took place in our Madison, Wisconsin house. But these experiences were secondary as these additional house visitors were there to assist me with the care of my rapidly declining, terminally-ill mom. Due to her lengthy battle with frontotemporal degeneration […]
Our First House Came With a Haunted Mirror We Didn’t Want
In late September 2014, David and I bought our first house. Since we had very little money and were also looking for “character,” we had been house-hunting for quite awhile. Yet, we had an amazing realtor who specialized in “hard cases” and she got us in to view a lovely old house on the very […]
Mom and That Same Someone Behind Me
While exploring the “Upstairs Lair of the Boogeyman” as a kid, I almost died of fright when I heard a floorboard creak behind me, but found no one there when I finally turned to face them. But it spooked me and ignited my belief that something unseen stands behind me. My beautiful mom was diagnosed […]
Ouija Boards Pieces, Music Boxes and Other Shit That Shouldn’t Move On Its Own But Does Anyways
So I owned a Ouija board as a kid. My grade school friends and I would play it during sleepovers. We named it Reinhold because that’s what it said its name was. That was likely the most significant thing that happened with that board as I don’t think my friend and I were too familiar […]
Don’t Move Into a Haunted House
I’ve been told that epileptics are prone to paranormal activity but I’d say most people are fair game if you move into a place with black handprints up and down the basement wall a la Blair Witch. My husband, our mastiff rescue Hemingway and I moved to Pittsburgh last year to fail at starting a […]
