Lately I have been seeing more and more people say the same thing. That everything happening in the world right now was predicted in the Bible. Wars. Political tension. Disasters. Social division. For many people it feels like history is building toward something final, something foretold long ago. I understand why people feel that way.…

When I wrote The Uninvited about the Screaming House, I wanted to reach the people who might be living through something similar. I wanted them to know they were not alone. I have been doing this work for a long time. But I have never gathered what I have learned into one place before. For…

When it comes to the unknown or the paranormal, I am not chasing answers. I am trying to understand what we are actually dealing with. I think the desire for answers is natural. We all want them. But with something like the paranormal, what you are more likely to encounter are ideas, patterns, and possibilities,…

I often think of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol when I think about ghosts this time of year. December has always felt like the most haunted month to me. Not because it is frightening, but because it brings the past closer. Dickens understood that. He tapped into something deeply human when he wrapped a ghost story…

A dream of my grandmother revealed a truth that lingers: we inherit more than DNA. We carry the stories, emotions, and unfinished dreams of those who came before us. It’s all in the bloodline.
