urban legend
Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.
Big Foot Does Exist
My encounter happened about 38 years ago in a campground called "Skunk Hollow". It's about 9 miles out of the town of McCloud situated in Northern California. My family and I every summer would go and camp out at Skunk Hollow for two weeks out of the year in the month of August. We discovered this campground due to close family friends that we had and grew up with who lived in McCloud. At that time, they owned one side of the street in downtown McCloud. They lived above the Mercantile building that they owned and when you looked out of their full sized window, you could see Mount Shasta and it was like you could reach out and touch it.

Ghosts: There Came Three Knocks
After being coaxed into this, I finally decided to cave in and tell the story as best I can remember. At this point, what strand of credibility I had left might as well shoot it down, right. Above is my house; this house has been the center of many family gatherings, from heart-felt moments at family dinners to heartbreaking wakes.

The Maiden of Race Rock
The Maiden Of Race Rock Gulls work the schools of baitfish sparkling the surface of Long Island Sound. Fishermen cast their weighted lines into the rip-rap demarcating the spot where the Sound disappears into the Atlantic Ocean. October is the best month for bluefish. They like the cooler water, the rougher seas and the baitfish swarming the surface as they make their way south.

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.
