Haunted by Ghost Radar

October 1, 2009

I’ve had my iPhone for a year, and resisted all temptation to download any “apps” that were not free. I know myself well, and I could get addicted to the little games that Apple offers for that phone of mine. But, I caved. Yesterday, at the suggestion of my friend Thorne, I shelled out 99¢ [...]

A Ghost Story For The Haunted House

September 1, 2009

A couple of days ago, I showed y’all some pictures of a dilapidated old house in Boyd, Texas. I thought it looked likely to be a “haunted” house, but told you that I’d have to figure out a ghost story that would work for it. I asked, “Got any ideas for a ghostly tale to [...]

Haunted House in Black and White

August 30, 2009

It’s probably not haunted — maybe. It certainly looked like it could be. We found it driving around in Boyd, Texas (which is another of those small towns in Wise County). Of course, I screamed, “Stop! It’s a Photo-Op!” I wanted to wander through that old house, but it might have fallen down on me. [...]

Ghost Hunt at The Driskill Hotel. Part 2.

August 12, 2009

We continued traipsing through the halls of the Driskill in our search for some kind of ghostly presence. In the bar, the leering steer hanging on the wall was a bit frightening. I’m not fond of hanging dead critters on the wall, but then I guess the management had to prove that this is Texas [...]

Ghost Hunt at The Driskill Hotel. Part 1.

August 11, 2009

They told me our room was a “haunted room.” Supposedly the Driskill Hotel has a lot of ghosts walking its hallways. We went to Austin, Texas to try to see one. Actually, we went to see the bat colony take flight from under the Congress Avenue Bridge, but staying at the Driskill was an added [...]

The Haunted Driskill Hotel in Black and White

August 10, 2009

On our recent trip to Austin to view the bat flight at Congress Avenue bridge, we stayed at a landmark hotel. The Driskill Hotel is located on Brazos Street in the heart of downtown Austin. It was built in 1886 by a fellow named Jesse Driskill, who was not only a cattle baron, but had [...]

Resistance. Part Three of The Ghostly Adventures At The Woodbine.

February 10, 2009

She resides over the piano at The Woodbine Hotel in Madisonville, TX. This picture of the mannequin was one of many photographs I took at the hotel last week. I wandered through the hotel, after dark, with my camera on the tripod while I took random pictures in the hopes of capturing an image of [...]

Another Verse To The Ghost Story At The Woodbine

February 9, 2009

As I told the students at school in Madisonville about the ghostly footsteps I had heard in the hotel in their town, their mouths dropped open and their eyes grew as big around as breakfast sausages. All of them wanted to know more, and I promised I would go on a ghost hunt and send [...]

Thursday Thirteen #9—A Ghost Hunt

May 9, 2007

Though I had stayed at Ye Kendall Inn in Boerne last November, I didn’t have the forethought to have my camera with me at the time. I was disappointed not to have been able to capture the beauty of the place. I also didn’t know the history of the hotel; so I didn’t realize that [...]

At The Catfish Plantation, You Get More Than You Pay For

April 4, 2007

I had a hankerin’ for fried fish. I like to eat fried crappie (that’s pronounced like “croppy”) but you have to catch crappie for yourself, and I don’t fish. I did until Daddy made me bait my own hook and take my own fish off the line. Those squishy worms were nasty, but I didn’t [...]

“Mirror, Mirror On The Wall”

January 26, 2007

Out flew the web and floated wide- The mirror crack’d from side to side; “The curse is come upon me,” cried The Lady of Shalott. “The Lady of Shalott” Alfred, Lord Tennyson Whew! I tripped on the enormous oval mirror that stands in our bedroom. Fortunately, I caught it just before it crashed. As big [...]
