A vampire beauty pageant? By all accounts, that’s what the post of an old black-and-white photo of a man crowning a gothic-looking dark-haired woman portrayed. Back when I was still on what was known as Twitter, someone I followed posted it. He’s since deleted his account, or I’d share itContinue Reading

“Who knew there were dangers of being psychic?” I remember thinking once upon a time while listening to a program on the now-defunct Paramania Radio. Psychics Vicki Johns and Leo Bonomo were discussing the downsides of their abilities. Johns talked about people judging you, sometimes ostracizing you. It’s why she’dContinue Reading
