Happy New Year! It's time to say goodbye to 2019...and hello to 2020. This has been a crazy year. I met my husband in January and got married in March. My mom battled (and won!) against breast cancer. My tiny boy turned DOUBLE DIGITS! I've spent many a day traveling between Hurricane and Grafton, and many a night sitting in hospital rooms.
With all the craziness going on, this blog has suffered, and to my regular readers, I apologize. As life is settling back into a routine, I'm ready to get back to bringing you all the coolest ghost stories, haunted locations, urban legends, and just anything and everything spooky related to West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and beyond! To kick start a new year of new content, I'll once again be doing the Ultimate Blog Challenge. That means there will be a new blog post every day throughout January. I have failed miserably during the last few challenges, so I'm hoping the motivation of a new year will give me the boost I need to make it through this time.
If you don't already, please follow me on Facebook for lots of fun and spooky articles, photos, and much more! It's also the best place to contact me with your questions, comments, and suggestions for haunted locations. Pop on over and let me know if you have any paranormal-related New Year's resolutions, or if you have any awesome investigations, trips to haunted locations, conferences/events, books, podcasts, or anything else spooky coming up in 2020 that'd you'd like to share! You can also find me on Twitter and on Instagram.
I hope you and yours have a safe and happy New Year, and that 2020 is a great year for you. Thank you so much for continuing this journey with me as my blog and my involvement in the paranormal community has evolved, shifted, be put on hold, etc.! I appreciate all the support and kind words you've shown me over the years. In a few weeks, this blog will be celebrating its NINTH anniversary!
BONUS
Curious as to what the Top 3 blog posts of 2019 were? Here's what people were reading and sharing the most this year!
3. David Morgan's Vision---Early West Virginia pioneer, David Morgan, had a sickbed vision that saved the lives of his children from an Indian attack. This tale of supernatural intervention has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is even a historical marker documenting the prophetic dream.
2. Mason County's Mysterious Skeletons---A newspaper from 1821 shares the news of four giant skeletons found in a burial mound, located on a Mason County, WV farm. Folklore is full of claims that West Virginia's Adena burial mounds contain giant skeletal remains of a race of people long forgotten.
1. The Sistersville Stocking Lady---There's a tombstone in Sistersville, WV with a highly damaged carving of an angelic woman atop. Local legend states than anyone foolish enough to touch the 'Stocking Lady' will meet a horrible fate.
