Well, I gave it my best shot but there wasn’t enough interest in the cruise to make it happen this year. Perhaps it was too ambitious of an undertaking. But at least I gave it a try. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I’ll look forward to trying toContinue Reading
One of the stops on our day trip Bosphorus Cruise was to a tiny fishing village where the Maramara Sea and Black Sea meet: Poyrazköy. I have been wanting to share these photos for a while. I finally decided “Why not for the Travel Photo Thursday that Budget Travelers SandboxContinue Reading
You’ve likely heard the expression “When pigs fly!” right? Well, it’s a good thing “swim” was not the word choice. If that was the case, an awful lot of people would be SOL if they had said they wouldn’t do something or that something couldn’t happen until pigs swam. IContinue Reading
The other day I got an email from a Researcher/Booker with the show My Ghost Story. I was pretty excited because I’m a ham and would love to be on TV. I’ve often thought I’d like to tell about my experience at the Shilo Inn. I’m biased, but I thinkContinue Reading
Did you know some cameras might be better at catching orbs in photos than others? Actually, “catching” isn’t the best word choice. “Manufacturing” may be a better one. My good friend Phil Creighton from New York Shadow Chasers is the Muse behind this post. He’s a tech geek who definitelyContinue Reading
Today I broke down and bought a new camera. It’s not one of the cameras I dreamed of getting as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. It’s a Fujifilm FinePix S2950 14 MP Digital Camera with Fujinon 18x Wide Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD. It’s basically anotherContinue Reading
Happy Friday the 13th! Or do you suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia which makes Friday the 13th not so happy for you? If you’re among those who are afraid of Friday the 13th, maybe seeing some ways to have a little fun with, and on, Friday the 13th would help. Below areContinue Reading
Several months ago Pamela K. Kinney made it possible for her publisher to send me a complimentary copy of her book, Virginia’s Haunted Historic Triangle: Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, & Other Haunted Locations. After months of start and stop reading (due to time, not the quality of the book’s content), IContinue Reading
First off, I was trying to be cheeky with the title. I don’t want to “sleep with ghosts” in the sense of having intimate relations with them. I do, however, enjoy checking into allegedly haunted hotels and spending the night. The other day, I got to talking with some peopleContinue Reading
Like most everything else in my life, I’m dreadfully behind on my reading. Hey, what can I say? I was expecting a long, cold winter. One where I could hunker down and read to my heart’s content. Instead, it’s been a mild winter. Not to mention a crazy one. Oh,Continue Reading
I’m sort of borrowing from something I’ve seen on the New York Shadow Chasers Facebook page. They do tech reviews each week. (Mostly on Wednesdays, though.) This isn’t a review, but perhaps they’ll swing by and help me out with a reader’s question. Don asked the following: I’m looking forContinue Reading
I thought I’d do something a bit different this year. I thought I’d put my powers of prognostication to the test and predict Punxsutawney Phil’s Groundhog Day declaration. I’ve gazed into my crystal ball (actually, I’ve just been watching the daffies sprout about a month earlier than normal) and I’veContinue Reading
