A Haunted Castle!

Sometime during the next few months my RWA chapter is going to have a Writer’s Retreat and it’s going to be in a Haunted Castle here in Washington!

I am so excited about that. It’s going to be so much fun! This especially has me so thrilled because since when the subject first came up and we began to discuss it on our email loop and at meetings, I believed that because of financial reasons, I would NOT BE ABLE TO GO. That was a real bummer.

BUT, (there’s always a “but,” right?) LOL! BUT, since some of the others had mentioned that they might bring a husband or significant other along for the weekend (provided they were not high-maintenance), I decided to mention it to my current boyfriend. He took one look at the castle information and said, “I’m in.”

YAY! He is going to help me with the costs for the weekend, and I CAN GO!!

He’s no stranger to ghosts and sightings. Once he saw one WHERE HE WORKS! His experience is this: He told me that he saw a man he had never seen before walk through a doorway, where there WAS NO DOOR! (Trust me; my boyfriend is the Straightest man alive!)

I figure that he can go Ghost Hunting while I’m doing writer things.

Not Really A Ghost Story

Hey! This isn’t really a ghost story because I haven’t gotten to visit the Deason house yet, but I have visited an interesting graveyard!
I’ve been on a family genealogy trip with my sister for a while and we’ve been in the southern part of the United States. One of our goals at one time was to find one of our great-great grandfather’s gravesite. Since it’s a very old gravesite and has probably gone unmarked for many years now, the graveyard caretaker had no record of it and we were unable to find it. That’s just one of the many roadblocks we encountered during our search, but it did not deter us.
While we were there I got into an interesting conversation with said caretaker and I am waiting for a future story to insert some of the ideas I gained from it, into.
The most interesting story he gave me was about a large cement block that sat in the graveyard. It seems that sometime in the early part of the 20th century, a man who lived in those parts believed that he had invented an embalming fluid that would last forever and that people would be able to visit him as he was in life for all eternity.
His “resting” place was the aforementioned cement construction. It had a door that would open so his visitors could go in and see him sitting in a chair waiting to receive them. That being the case, not much time passed before the authorities found his body hanging from a tree. The caretaker told me that rumor has it that the deceased being a black man in the Deep South, that some white men took him from his place of death and hung him from the tree.
The authorities re-”buried” him in his cement enclosure, only this time they sealed the door. It has remained so ever since.
“Believe IT or Not”!

How would you feel if you found a dead man hanging from a tree? At first it would startle me, but then the blatant lack of respect would make me MAD!

I was right about the space I was using. One of my pictures was so large that it took the Whole Page too long to load up! All I had to do was delete said picture and voila! I Fixed It!! :))

And now back to our regular programming.

Broken Gadget

Investigation leads me to more of a definition of what my technical difficulties here are, for you. A gadget is broken on my page and until I find a solution for that, this page is giong to be slow to load. I appreciate your patience in waiting for the page to load because it has all sorts of cool stuff, links to other author pages, and links to my page designers' sites, too!!

I'm thinking that it is because I have so much Cool Stuff on my page that it takes so long to load. It seems to be taking anywhere from 1 minute, to about 5-6 minutes to load. But while you're waiting, you can read all my cool paranormal blogs!

Please Be Patient! :)) You won't be disappointed!!

Techinical Difficulties

Do not adjust your screen. There is nothing wrong with your computer - ala Twilight Zone

My BlogSpot is experiencing technical difficulties at this time; most of my cool sidebar stuff is missing and I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to make regular posts until the difficulties are corrected. That is the reason a test blog came before this one. Rest Assured! Corrections are in progress!

I will continue with my weekly blogs as long as BlogSpot permits.

Is it any wonder that I write ghost stories?

Is it any wonder that I write ghost stories, given the paranormal experiences and abilities experienced both personally and in my family that I’ve told you about? That must be the reason that every time I write a story something weird with a ghost or something else happens.
I didn’t say that something scary happens because I think ghosts are Fun! I have never had a scary experience with a ghost, but I have had fun experiences, which I have written here about. :)) Now, Demons are scary and I hope I never have a meeting with one of them!
I think this is so because I believe that ghosts are merely the spirits of deceased people who are trying to find their way to the next life. And some just like to hang around to have fun and play tricks on the living. Which I have definitely experienced! Now Demons, I believe, are evil and are sent here from Hell to cause us harm!
What do you think about Ghosts and Demons?
