I have a problem believing that ghosts would haunt a house that wasn't even there when the events took place, even if it is built over an old cellar. Even back that far, it's hard to believe that the sheriff would be allowed to take a woman out of jail, take her home and torture her. I'm not saying that the house isn't haunted, but in Salem, I think that people are too fast to jump to the conclusion that the ghost has a connection to the witch trials.

All the entries were good in their own way, but two of the poems were a little too gruesome for my taste.

I once worked for an archaeologist who was at Stanford when this murder happened. From what he said, the entire campus and the whole town was in shock after the details of how she was killed became known. Like the article says, there had been murders there before, but nothing like that. Everybody was thinking that they might know the killer and people were suspecting that it might be someone living in their dorm, or someone working at the school. A lot of people thought that Arlis Perry just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and women were terrified to go out alone, but others thought that she was targeted and that it wasn’t a random thing. There were rumors that people had seen strangers lurking around outside of the dorm where the woman and her husband lived and many thought that someone had followed them that night, waiting for a chance to kill her. But I have a problem with that theory because it was late, after 11 o’clock, so how would anyone have known that she would be going out that late at night unless it was something they did all the time?

There's something wrong with people who imagine ghosts are stealing their underwear or anything else. But it seems that instead of sending these people to a psychiatrist, the British government gives in and allows them to move. Of course, it must be awfully frustrating having to live where the government puts you and most them are on what they call the dole.

You're right, Maddy. Some people can write and some can't, no matter how hard they try. All you have to do is read some of the books published today to know that there are a LOT of authors, especially those who write about the paranormal, who can't write. I won't name any names, but I'm sure most of you know some of them.

Thanks for bringing this up, Maddy. It would be better if we had longer to come up with something.

I think that people should have the right to worship anything they want, but why is it that people who worship things like the devil, or Wiccans who claim they worship the goddess and the Horned God, have to be so in your face about it? If they want to worship the devil, or some other entity, nobody is stopping them. Why not just go to one of their houses or out in the woods some place and do whatever they want instead of demanding to be allowed to perform a black mass in a church at Harvard or in a civic center in Oklahoma City? You don’t see other religions demanding to worship in a public place. Satanists don’t want the freedom to worship, they want to force their beliefs and practices on everyone else.

I've been reading some things about this guy and he's a parasite. It really bothers me that he lives off the government and has never made any attempt to get an education or learn a trade. If he's able to serve as a high priest, operate a website, run a pagan store, or whatever it is that he wants to do and stay at home and look after two toddlers while his wife works, he's able to get a job. There's nothing that I hate more than people who are younger and more able to work than I am living off the government. I worked until I was 63 and I'm over 70 now and retired, but I would have been ashamed to sit back and do nothing and let the government support me before I was old enough to retire. It's all about character and this parasite doesn't have any.

I agree. Real witches keep their practices to themselves. The people who call themselves Wiccans are the same kind of people who call themselves Satanists, they do it for the effect. They like to shock people by saying they're a witch or a Satanist. I know some Wiccans and they're all clueless about witchcraft and just about everything else. Most of them still think that the Salem witches were burned at the stake.

It's a sound like I've never heard before, a long, keening wail. I don't know if you could still hear it if you covered your ears because I didn't try. I wasn't frightened. People told me about it when I first moved there, but I didn't really believe it until I heard it myself. A lot of people heard it and one morning in December of 2000, after we had heard it the night before, a man waiting on the bus said that he saw a misty figure in the form of a woman floating across the pasture from the hill, but it was very foggy that morning, so it could have been just the fog.

People have their own methods, but what I do is mark the amulet with a rune representing what I want it to do.

I don't understand why people consider this to be such a mystery. Unless it's what people call a residual haunting, ghosts are the ones who decide how they're going to project themselves, not the person seeing them and how many people would want to appear naked?
I'm not sure that shadow people are actually ghosts, but even some of them are described as wearing clothing, such as hats.

I used to live at a haunted apartment complex and one of the ghosts, or hauntings, was what people called a banshee. Just before someone who lived in the apartments died, people would hear this mournful wail coming from a hill on the other side of the pasture next door. People said that the banshee had been attached to a family who lived nearby years before and that after the family all died out, the banshee stayed there and started keening for other people who died. People heard the crying on the Labor Day weekend in 1998, and on Tuesday morning, a man in the building where I lived died. That was the second time that I'd heard it. I heard the crying eight different times while I was there and every time, someone died. In October of 2000 on the weekend before Halloween, people heard the keening and I thought that it was just someone playing a Halloween trick, but about two days later, they found a young man dead in his apartment and he was only in his early 30s. In early December, also in 2000, I heard it again and a woman in my building, who was in her 30s, ran off the road and she was killed.

I hope that they have a good trip and that it's cooler up there than it is here. It's already 80 here and it's supposed to get up to 95 today.

I seem to remember reading something once about Charles Manson's gang living in a cave underneath Death Valley.
