Hales Bar Dam

Back in March, Lesia shared info about how the Hales Bar Dam haunted tours had closed. Sadly, the ghost tour operators turned out to be shysters. After booking tours and taking people’s money up front, the tours abruptly stopped. No explanation. Just pffft. Changed all their contact info, deleted theirContinue Reading

disembodied hand catching floating scrabble letters

How do you feel about word jumbles? You know, unscrambling letters to see what words they form? I’ve always loved them. I’m not always good at them, but I do love brain teasers like that. (I rock at word searches, though. It’s the one thing I’m freaky fast at.) Anyway,Continue Reading
