Blog & StoriesThe Landing on Mulberry Street
The house on Mulberry Street had always been a place of muffled sounds and strained silences. For Mira, it was a prison painted in peeling yellow, where the air hung...
Ghost stories from Oregon
The Static in the Salt
The autumn of 2004 had settled over Port Blossom like a damp wool blanket, muffling the town’s sounds beneath a layer of salt-fog. I had moved there with my daughter,...
The Weight of the Dam
The valley of Millbrook had always been a quiet place, but since the old dam broke three years ago, the town had been slowly dying. The reservoir drained, revealing a...
The Frost That Crept
The first thing I noticed was the cold, a deep, bone-aching chill that clawed through the triple layers of quilts and the electric blanket’s hum. My eyes snapped open to...
The Wormwood Bloom
The day I decided to rip out the garden, I knew something had to give. Our rental, a sprawling Victorian with peeling paint and a wraparound porch, had been a...
The Chalk Collector
The old house on Hemlock Lane had always been a drafty place, but that afternoon, as I sat on the bathroom floor with a hairbrush in hand, the air grew...
The Fourth Passenger
The afternoon sun cast long, wavering shadows across the gravel driveway as Helen pulled up to the farmhouse. Dust motes danced in the beams that slanted through the windshield, and...
The Hollow House on Meridian Lane
I first noticed it on a Tuesday evening, when the house on Meridian Lane felt like a held breath. My wife, Clara, and I had lived there for six years,...
The Hollow of Winter Hill
The radio crackled with static, a sound that had become as familiar as my own heartbeat. I was a night watchman at the closed-down Winter Hill Sanatorium, a place that...
The Last Ride of the Redline
Tessa had learned the shape of grief by watching the back of Lucas’s head. For five years, that silhouette had been a mountain she couldn’t climb, a locked door she...
The Chalk Outline
Mina had always been drawn to the abandoned Redding Asylum on the outskirts of town. Its crumbling brick walls and boarded windows felt like a dare to the curious. Her...
The Seer’s Lament
In the scorched autumn of 1987, I drove west with my four-year-old son, Milo, in the passenger seat of a rusted Chevette. We left behind the cornfields of Indiana and...
The Visitor at 4:30
I leave for work at 4:30 AM, when the house is still and dark, and my husband and daughter are tucked into their beds. We live in a cramped two-bedroom...
The Boy at the Foot of the Bed
I woke to the soft hum of the ceiling fan and the pale light of dawn filtering through the blinds. My apartment in Tucson was quiet, the only sound the...
The Last Furrow
In the fall of 1995, I was thirteen, and my brothers, eight and ten, were my constant shadows. We lived at the end of a quiet dead-end lane in a...
The Rag and Bone Man of Port Calder
The town of Port Calder squats on the banks of the Calder River, a place where the old mills have crumbled into red-brick ghosts and the river runs the color...
The Celluloid Specter’s Reel
In the late ’90s, I was a projectionist at the Rialto, an old movie palace in the heart of Salt Lake City. The building was a masterpiece of gaudy Art...
The Seamstress of Solitude
I had driven three hours to photograph the abandoned mining town of Ponderosa Flats, a name that promised more than it delivered. The town was a cluster of weathered wooden...
The Ledger of Unlit Candles
Marta had always kept the dates in a small, dog-eared notebook she called her Book of the Departed. It was a habit she’d formed after burying her Aunt Cora, whose...
The Lantern-Maker’s Ledger
After my brother died, I inherited his weather-worn farmhouse in the Finger Lakes, a place I’d avoided for years. The move was supposed to be a fresh start, a way...
The Mark of the Stillborn Clock
It was 2:47 AM when the antique mantel clock in the parlor began to tick backwards. I know because I was awake, staring at the glow-in-the-dark dial of my watch,...
The Cartographer’s Gift
The day my father died, I found a map folded into his Bible. It was hand-drawn, with a tiny red X near a lake I’d never heard of, and a...
The Tin That Wanted More
Every December, I drag the red metal tin down from the highest shelf in my closet. It’s dented in one corner, and the painted angel on the lid has faded...
The Hummingbird Locks
I have an old email account that I use only for distant relatives, mostly to share photos and holiday greetings. One sweltering evening in August of 2017, I logged on...
