Two EVPs captured by my husband

These two evps were taken when Bruce was driving home from work on March 7. He records himself (with his cellphone) talking about God (and other things) for his YouTube Channel, which I listen to and post for him. I caught two evps. The first one I can make out, and the second, I can hear but can’t make it out. The original audio is here, and it is between the 4-5 min. mark. EVP: The first one…

Old Legend of Baptiste Gauvin

Crimson, gold, and emerald streamers rippled above Bourbon Street. Costumed celebrants roamed in clusters, tossing beads and shouting over pulsing horns. Sweet scents of pralines and fried dough floated through the damp night air. Yet, beneath the jubilant facade, a subtle strain lurked—a sense that something old and hungry awakened whenever carnival lights glowed. Marisol nudged through a group…

The Origami Heart

The origami heart appeared on Sarah’s kitchen counter, its crisp edges catching the first rays of sunlight that filtered through the worn lace curtains. The red paper stood out against the scratched laminate countertop, a bright splash of color amid the dated cream cabinets and harvest gold appliances from the 1970s. In contrast with its surroundings, the aroma of the old espresso machine making…

The Midnight Baker

The aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg drifted from beneath Mia’s barely cracked window, making her stomach growl. Her next-door neighbor must have been baking Christmas cookies again. The scent reminded her of the legendary pastries that appeared on doorsteps each Christmas Eve—creations so perfect they belonged in a museum rather than on someone’s doorstep. The cotton sheets rustled as Mia rolled…

The Thanksgiving Séance

Emily’s fingers grazed the frayed edges of her grandmother’s recipe box, a worn artifact of decades spent feeding the family. The box’s hinges creaked as she opened it, revealing a jumble of yellowed index cards, their surfaces etched with faded ink and flour-dusted corners. A gust of November wind rattled the windows; its mournful howl echoed through the colonial home that had been in the…

The La Sayona

America is the melting pot of the world. For over 13,000 years, people have migrated to this land, and their ghosts have migrated with them.  A sliver of moon, sharp as a curved blade, hung in the Illinois sky. Its pale glow washed over the deserted highway below. The September wind raced through the cornfields, causing the withered stalks to sway and groan. In the distance, the sea of corn…

The Unearthed

Amber shivered as a biting wind whipped her hair across her face, penetrating her jacket like icy fingers. Each gust carried a low, guttural moan that seemed to rise from the depths of the earth, a haunting chorus of the land’s agony. The air above the excavation site was a toxic mixture of diesel fumes and raw, earthy soil. The hidden sun cast a desolate pallor over the scene, as if nature…

Halloween Fair

Dear Diary, I’m sitting here at my oak computer desk, trying out my new black balance ball chair as the sun sets on another autumn day. Looking out my bedroom window the streetlights flicker on revealing the grim transformation of the neighborhood’s trimmed, green yards into makeshift haunted cemeteries. Of course, these fake resting places will vanish by the end of the weekend. Replaced, not by…
