One of the first things that comes to mind when it comes to spooky, creepy, mysterious, is Lizzie Borden. I feel like just about everyone knows her name and what she was accused of, although she was acquitted. She even became a cute little rhyme to sing and jump rope to: Lizzie Borden took an axe. She killed her mother with 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, she killed her father with 41. Andrew Borden is now dead. Lizzie hit him on the head. Up in heaven he will sing. On the gallows she will swing. For those of you who might not know her story, I’ll give you a recap of her family’s axe murder story that has lasted through the last century and has been made into TV shows and movies. (My personal favorite is the movie, then series, with Christina Ricci as Lizzie. She does creepy like no other.)  Lizzie Andrew Borden was born July 19, 1860 in Fall River, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Andrew and Sarah Borden. Sarah Borden passed away in 1863, leaving Lizzie (3 y/o) an...

  It is the beginning of Spooky season! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for cooler weather, changing leaves, and watching Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown on repeat. To kick off Halloween season 2021 I’ve got a fun story for all of you! Whereas folklore and urban legends are always fun, my favorite stories are the ones where there is a personal connection. So you already know from reading the title, this is the story of my mom living at a haunted school when she was a kid. Now I do have to admit, the things that were attributed to the hauntings happened mostly in the years after she lived there, but not all. Even if she doesn’t have her own personal paranormal experiences there, I still think that this is a really interesting story.  Miller Hall In Albion, Idaho, there was a school that had a couple of different names and types of education over the years: Albion Normal School, or as it was named when my mother lived there, Magic Valley Christian College.

Hey, everyone! In my last post,  10 Ways to Stay Occupied During Quarantine  , I made a challenge for everyone to get creative and write a short story of one of your favorite characters getting sick in the middle of their story line. I took myself up on that challenge! I decided to write my story on Frozen. So, I admit, I cheated a little bit and built my story off of Frozen Fever and turned it into a low key horror story. That's the fun about writing though! You can take a prompt and go where ever it leads you. So here is this short story I wrote, I hope you like it! It was Anna’s first birthday since she and Elsa had rekindled their relationship. Elsa felt that she had to make up for all the birthdays she had missed while hiding away in her room. She knew their mother and father would celebrate Anna’s birthday even if it was just something small, but she was sure Anna hadn’t celebrated one since they had died. This birthday had to be absolutely perfect, but no one see...
