She, her husband, and my husband and I were the closest of friends. A couple weeks after her husband died, she was at our house, and the three of us were shooting pool, just like the four of us had done so many times in the past. She and I were sitting side-by-side on the steps leading from our kitchen to the den, when we both felt a hand on our shoulder. Simultaneously, we both turned around to see who it was. Nobody there. We're both convinced it was her husband.<br /><br />This book sounds super. If I don't win it, I reckon I'm gonna have to buy it. (Oh, darn!

I even called over, confused for a moment, but at only 9years old, mostly over joyed to see them both. My nan and mom came running out to see who I was screaming at to 'come here' and I told them, It's grandad and Bob! Look...' Unfortunately my mum thught I was being cruel to a still grieving nan (my grandad died a few weeks prior) and to mum (our dog disappeared a few months prior). I got told off big time for that, I can tell you. I never told anyone my other visitations and as I grew up I told myself they were dreams, daydreams, nonsense. Whatever. But I do believe energy (of life) is left over when the body dies, and whatever we call it, a spirit, a ghost, I believe it exists. Spooky!<br /><br /><br />shahwharton.comShah Whartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997125261145672115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-74932459477783189782014-02-27T02:19:17.120-05:002014-02-27T02:19:17.120-05:00No, I haven't Nancy, but that must be a fascin...No, I haven't Nancy, but that must be a fascinating encounter..Cindy Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802301447113194227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-55384231576846550432014-02-26T11:51:45.457-05:002014-02-26T11:51:45.457-05:00Denise, Thanks for your comment about the cover.

When we used to hold classes downstairs, I would occasionally hear what I can only describe as busy children's voices upstairs. Convinced it was other parishioners and their families coming in, I'd go upstairs to find no one. This would happen in spring and fall, with me going up the stairs on more than a few occasions and, again, finding no one. These were not frightful voices, just busy, excited voices. Nonetheless, seeing no one was a strange feeling. I'm one who happens to believe spirits linger, or perhaps the energies of what took place do...afterall, I've no idea if the voices of these children I heard were the voices of dead children, or something that remained after they all grew up, moved away, and the school abandoned....I only know I experienced something, on more than one occasion, that I can't explain.Cindy Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802301447113194227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-6983741359000791792014-02-25T20:40:47.586-05:002014-02-25T20:40:47.586-05:00I could swoon over this cover!

I think part of it, at least for me, is the history and/or stories that grow from the ghost story. Exploring the cause creates its own waterfall of stories. Love the cover of your book!

My father had recently died-I was eighteen, at the time, working part time and going to college. I was nearing the darkest part of my journey when my lights went out. It was near Moose Point State Park. There wasn't anything coming on the other side of the road, but I was in shock. Then the lights came on-I could feel a presence sitting next to me-I felt calm. I felt like it was my father saying good bye. I rode home with the lights on inside the car-the presence was so strong. I started talking to him-just in case I was right and told my mom when I arrived home. We took the car to the shop the very next day to get the lights and the dimmer switch checked out. There wasn't anything wrong... I have had a few other odd moments, lights going on and off and the TV, too. It is the human living spirits that haunt-more than the dead. <br />Congrats Nancy your book sounds great!Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-4207341282031006012014-02-23T13:05:09.551-05:002014-02-23T13:05:09.551-05:00If she's been a Realtor for eight years, nothi...If she's been a Realtor for eight years, nothing will scare her.

My middle daughter, now 27, started in real estate when she was 19 and has been doing a very good job at it. She enjoys reading. I'll have to let her know about this series.
