Hello again! Here we are mid-December and I can’t believe it. At first it felt like 2020 would never end…..now it seems we are heading into 2021 at warp speed. Not a bad thing really since this year really sucked. Today I am going to talk about something else that sucks within the paranormal: orbs. My Early Days I have had an interest in the paranormal since I began having experiences in childhood. I heard and saw things other people couldn’t for as along as I can remember and, always a part of my life, it wasn’t a frightening thing. It just was what it was. I first learned of orbs when I sta ..read more

Welcome back! I hope you had an enjoyable holiday and are staying safe. We traditionally travel over the Thanksgiving holiday but this year we stayed home. I was thinking about how much fun it would be to go ghost hunting over the holiday but I couldn’t swing the time. A great place for an extended weekend investigation is found in Central Texas in the town of Ballinger. Touted as the Greatest Little Town in Texas, Ballinger lies roughly 180 miles west of Waco. I drive in from Fort Worth and I really enjoy the small towns I pass through on the way (i.e. Eastland, Cisco, and Coleman). With a po ..read more

by Annette Luevano
3y ago
(Updated November 8, 2020 from the original published May 29, 2017) Villisca is a small town in the southwest quadrant of Iowa.  Being a city girl, driving around Iowa was a real treat for me.   Beautiful scenery and friendly people made my excursion through Iowa one of my favorite road trips so far this year.   If you are into the paranormal at all, you have probably heard about Villisca and the tragic events that happened so very long ago. Over one hundred years ago in fact. If you aren’t familiar, then read on to learn about the town of Villisca and my experience staying in t ..read more

Welcome to Fall 2020!!  Now is the time of year when thousands of people seek out the beauty of fall foliage as well as an escape from the summer heat.  Living in Texas, summer extends well into September and October so many of us are seeking a reprieve.

Edited from the original published August 23, 2017. This year's big family vacation was a 2-week expedition to Ireland, Italy, and Greece.  I say expedition because traveling with three kids for that period of time feels like an epically chaotic and exhausting journey across vast lands perched squarely between sanity and insanity.   I know many of you are probably thinking “you should have gone by yourselves!!” You may be right but we wanted to take the kids on one more vacation with us since they are now young adults and will starting their own adult lives. While I was interest ..read more
