The Belle of New Haven
Chapter 1 In 1988 my husband Calvin and I and our 5 year old son John took a trip to San Jose, California. While there we decided to go and tour the infamous Winchester Mansion built by Sarah Lockwood Winchester. I will be honest with you, at the time I was nervous to enter into the house due to my past experiences with ghosts and knowing at this time, I was still an open vessel for these spirits to travel through. When we arrived at the the mansion, my curiosity took over any fear that I had so I decided to tour the house with Calvin and my son John. Although the house had the reputation for being a portal between the living and the dead, it's appearance said something quite different.

Secrets Behind Haunted Dolls
Chapter 1 Dolls have been with us since recorded history. The earliest report of a haunted doll actually goes back to Rameses the 3rd, where his enemies attempted to use wax dolls in his image to bring about his death. It was rumored that the dolls were living and would bring a curse upon anyone who bore their resemblance.

This meat as children in it!
Out in the rural west of the United States of Arizona lives a small almost forgotten town. There’s a legend surrounding this little town that goes by the name of Black Bell. Just down the road of the town was a small factory that goes by the name “Old Farmer John’s meatpacking plant”, which is said to be haunted by several ghosts.

You Conjure it, You Bought it...
“You conjure it, you bought it!” is a tagline that I often like to use when lecturing on the paranormal in my role as a paranormal investigator. I know that it sounds mean to some as most do not deliberately try to let lose an unfriendly entity in their home, or even worse, a demonic entity, however, it is an easy thing to do. This concept applies not just to Spirit boards ad Ouija boards, but also to known “haunted” items or objects removed from known haunted locations.

Message of the Mountain
The land of love Aurora is the most beautiful place in the whole world. The great mountain Grozav wrapped around a valuable sanctuary that protected the life force of Aurora. Even though Grozav was the protector of the land, he was madly in love with his wife. Grozav was named the great mountain because it not only protected the sanctuary but stopped people from entering without permission.

The Missing
OCTOBER It's been 16 days since the first construction worker went missing. At first, everyone thought it was because of the working conditions on the site, and it was the usual dispute between employees and employers. But in the last few days, more workers have gone missing, and the frequency has escalated. People are asking questions.

Moses Of Crete
It always starts with me floating through some ethereal fog. My feet are drifting off the ground. I look down but I have no idea how far up I am. I can barely see my hand in front of my face. A purple and navy mist circles around me. For the longest time I am frozen. Then I slowly start to pitch forward. I start to spin and tumble, directionless through the haze. It is familiar, although with this awareness I start to feel terror. My body is heavy and I am somersaulting in all directions. My heart is racing; my form feels so tired. I am desperate for air. As I am churning around, I cannot tell up from down. The landscape, through flashes of lightning is slowly being revealed to me. There is a sound scratching through me. I hear a crow cawing. The anger in its voice echoes through my head. I can never see it. It brings a rage, an unquenchable anger; I want to grab the bird with my hands and rip it apart. This feeling grows inside of me. An intense pain blooms at the top of my chest, spreading downwards and inwards. Then an acute sense of loneliness and isolation washes over me.

Hunted in the Dark
I should have listened to you, Jennifer. God, I wish I had listened. I don’t know if you’ll get this letter, but I’m sorry. You were absolutely right. I’m so sorry I didn’t believe you. I should have never gone past the old train overpass. I just wanted to see if the stories were true. It was stupid to come out here after midnight. If I could take it all back, I would in an instant.

Free Sample
The morning was going about as well as any Monday morning went for Ernie except it wasn’t Monday, it was Tuesday. When his alarm went off, he hit the snooze, except he didn’t, he turned his alarm off completely. If it wasn’t for his roommate, Chris, slamming his bedroom door, he wouldn’t have woken up on time.

The First and Last Tepia
The Tepia Festival is one of the most known festivals in my village. I’ve always wondered why and this year, I was finally going to find out. For some reason, if you were under the age of fifteen, you couldn’t know what the festival meant, nor would you be allowed to go.
