The Ghost In The Corner

Greta can already see things I can't in the corner.

The Ghost In The Corner
Our dog, Scarlet, reacted the same way before she died. 

She would often growl and bark at the same section of wall near the ceiling in our dining room. Now, Greta, our new Dobie does the same thing, only with more intensity. It took Scarlet years to accept the ghost in the corner. Greta does not like it and has yet to accept it. She did it last night several times. We were on the couch in the living room, and she had her head in my lap with a perfect view of the corner near the ceiling in the dining room. She suddenly jumped up and began growling and barking at the same spot. 

I've long known that room has a lot of activity. It is the same room where I watched something I couldn't see tear down my Christmas tree in 2000. It had been my living room then. It is the same room where the lights would slowly dim out and then flash three times before going back to normal. There was nothing wrong with the wiring or the bulbs. Many nights I sat in the now living room and watched things walk or dart past in the dining room. It's like the psychic flow center in the house. At some point years ago, it had been a doctor's examining room and my current living room was a waiting room. Who knows how many people have died in my house? I know of at least three right now. The place was built in 1875 or around that time. I have been out of my body several times, and encountered something that was pure evil trying to stop me from getting back into body in that room. I ran it from the house, or so I thought. 

The something evil must be back in that corner spot, and my dog can see it several times a day. It hasn't messed with me for a long time, but my view of things on the other side has happened less and less as I get older. Greta can see whatever it is almost every day. This house is for sure an endless haunt for many creatures. I don't care as long as we can share it without getting in each other's way.

Vietnam: The Liberty Bridge

(This entry has had a lot of comments, and I'm glad it can help bring Nam vets together or to help find each other. If you have a comment, please attach your name to the comment or from this point forward it won't be published. I've received many comments that are phony and obviously made up, submitted by anonymous submission. I do screen all comments. Click the photo to enlarge. Semper Fi.) This is the Liberty Bridge (click to make larger) in Quang Nam Province in Vietnam during July of 1968. Of the 14,000 Marines killed in Vietnam, 10,000 were killed in Quang Nam Province. (Figures in comment section show a little under 7000 KIA in Quang Nam.) This was late in my tour on July 2. The bridge had been blown once again by the enemy to isolate the Marine base at An Hoa. I was a 50 caliber machine gunner on a convoy to resupply the An Hoa Firebase. I called this the River Styx because it had a ferry boat. Once you crossed the river you entered a nightmare hell on earth cal...

The Jesus Moth

Photo taken through a window screen. I had just gone over the first print copy of The Bad Season on July 22, 2006. I walked over to the window and saw this moth on my outside air conditioner unit. It was the most bizarre thing I had seen in a long time. I retrieved my digital camera and snapped a picture through the glass and the window screen before going outside in a failed to attempt to capture the moth. I contacted a moth expert. He told me what kind of moth it was, but added that he had never seen one with a cross on its back like this one. I call it the Jesus Moth, the Crusader Moth, or maybe the Infidel Moth. The syndicates wanted me to give it to them for free. They said they don't take pics from non-employees because "we would actually have to pay you for it."   Hmm, what a novel concept, getting paid for something. I offered to swap for a syndicated story about my book. They refused. So I copyrighted the entire pic (the one below is a fragment from that p...

Help Solve This Murder From June 2000 (Update)

(I've done an update to keep this story in the public eye. Ohio has just released a list of what will probably end up being close to 2000 unsolved homicides. Southwestern Ohio has at least 500 crimes on that list. There had been no activity on this story since Ohio detectives came to see me in 2009 and asked me about my theory. I don't know if they followed up on what I told them, but a statement in the comment section makes me believe someone knows more about the crime than what has been released to the public by police.) At home, George Gibson, age 47, is found dead inside the tiny first floor bathroom, as if trying to escape his killer. A veterinary pathologist and a twelve year employee at Proctor and Gamble, he appeared to be caught by surprise while at the kitchen table and tried to escape into the bathroom. Gibson was shot nine times, seven small caliber bullets to the head and two to the chest. One of his three pet Bernese mountain dogs was shot to death on the f...
