these are my (almost) ghost adventures....

driving Katie to meet friends in Lineville, she gasped and said "Who's that?" as we drove over the bridge. She saw a pre-teen boy in black hoody, hood up, jeans tucked into red cowboy boots, talking on a FLIP phone, holding it outside his hoody on my side of the bridge. I didn't see him. I told her it was probably a black-eyed kid...I mean, a FLIP phone? we need to get a sketch artist. so, on the way home, I drove back across the bridge, just 'cause and this time I. was. watching. there was a car stopped on bridge, talking to a kid just like the one Katie described, and the back of his hoody was Branson Zipline.

what I'm reading... "Sometimes dead is better." Jud Crandell

today took Mom out and about on some errands. made a wrong turn and found......an old cemetery. a beautiful cemetery. and I was drawn to the back corner....

you see, from my parking lot it looked like a person bent over a tombstone in sorrow....

I of course knew it was most likely a broken stone...and of course it was, but I was compelled to go to that far back corner of the cemetery. and the feeling there....peaceful. but a bit off.

Zombie dolls...they have flies, ya'll, cause rotting flesh...

Dressed To Kill Zombie, cause some girls always look their best -

Bitten At The Prom Zombie, long glam gown, corsage, and updo. she's gonna dance the night away, no matter what -

Just Hanging Out Zombie, maybe he was standing on a street corner talking to his friends, or working on his car, or mowing his Grandma's yard, but now he'll just wander eternally -

Grandpa Bernard Zombie, he's got a stringer of fish, his hat on sideways, and a loyal pig following him around, no matter who bites you, farmers gotta keep on farming...

Teenage Zombie, she has one boot and her car keys, this zombie girl is going places. just try and stop her.

it's family picture season....and I love this photogenic bunch!

11-19-2020 a good day for a paranormal road trip

11-19-2020 a good day for a paranormal road trip...saw a Yeti in Leon, and 2 Bigfoot in Indianola. Found the Hossack graves at New Virginia Cemetery (Margaret was known as Iowa's Lizzie Borden). her grave just said MOTHER. she was buried beside the husband she went to prison for murdering with an axe...she later had a 2nd trial and was released. they were sitting up for a burial while I was there, so didn't linger. seemed disrespectul. did a drive-by of the boarding home she and a son lived in at 400 West Boston Avenue in Indianola. drive through Indianola IOOF Cemetery where 4 of her adult children were buried. It's a big cemetery, didn't find them, but found 2 mausoleums for the Proudfoot family, and a hedged section for the Carpenter family. didn't find the Lacey Cemetery at Milo, IA, google maps took me to a farm and I just figured I had done my due diligence and it wasn't meant to be. Reuben Proctor was lynched by a mob after the Halloween murder of Augusta Kading. his family buried him in an unmarked grave. some stories say he was merely stunned by the hanging, and the family buried an empty coffin so he could escape and get on with his life. he was 26 and had 2 sons in 1877.
