Part Two, coming
up! I didn't have to get on the ark here in Texas last week to escape the
flooding. Sad news, though, on the number of people who died as they try to
navigate flood waters over some of our roads. Please remember, folks, if you
see high water on the road, you have no way to gauge how high it is or how fast
it's running. So: Turn Around! Don't Drown!
Now we're back
at Claiborne House, and although I don't see anything paranormal in this one,
it's taken a few minutes before we had to pack up and head out.
Me, Aunt Belle, Ann, Jerry
But I'll also
show you one that Jerry LeBlanc sent me. He and Ann said they sometimes find a
footprint that appears to be from a baby or toddler on their kitchen floor.
There are no leaks anywhere, so no reason for there to be a damp spot of mist on
the floor in front of the pantry door. One morning, they were lucky enough to
snap a photo of the footprint before it disappeared. The floorboards are
narrow, and the photo is a close-up, which justified them believing this is
from a child.

Another one
Jerry sent me was one he calls "Happy orb looking at Ann playing
piano." This one appears to have been edited somewhat, but I can see the
happy orb.

In this next one,
there appears to be a partial silhouette in the mist on the left. No, it's not
that southern soldier on the right. That's a mannequin dressed that way.

In the next one,
there appears to be someone sitting at the table.

Aunt Belle and I
took our equipment around the downstairs later on in the evening, but as I
mentioned last week, the ghosts might have been sleeping. (Do ghosts sleep?
Well, maybe they do over in that other dimension.) We didn't even feel any energy
from anyone. However, while we were out and about, we left our KII, flashlight
and Raggedy Ann doll turned on in our bedroom. We had a bit of activity when we
were there, but not a lot. However, at one point while Aunt Belle and I were
out gadding about, poor Ann happened to go into our room alone to make sure we
had everything.
"I wanted
to let you know that I started to go in your room while you were gone yesterday
evening," Ann told us the next morning. "I was just checking to make
sure you didn't need anything. But when I walked in, the hands and forehead on
that doll you had in there lit up all over! 'O.K.,' I said to her. 'I'm outta
here.' And I got out of there fast!"
Anna Lee at Claiborne House
Aunt Belle and I
giggled, but the look on Ann's face told us she wasn't amused. I guess some people
might associate our little Anna Lee (the name of our doll) with the not-so-nice
supernatural stories about dolls they hear around. However, we enjoy Anna Lee a
lot, and she wears my consecrated cross when I'm not using it. Nothing can get
through that to possess her.
Aunt Belle and I
have a couple trips planned for 2016, but we haven't set any dates yet. I'll be
sure and fill you in later. In the meantime, I would still recommend Claiborne
House (903-665-8800 or http://www.claibornehousebnb.com).

On the book
scene, Shelley Lynn Johnson, my narrator for the Dead Man Mysteries, finished
another audio book! Dead Man Hand is now up at Amazon, Audible and iBooks.
Also, I have
some codes for the new Dead Man Hand audio book … FREE! Email me at ghostie@swbell.net or Facebook PM (http://www.facebook.com/tranam.simmons)
me and I'll send you one.
Shopping has interfered
with more work on the short story, but I did get a little done on it. Still
working, though. It has to be a good story for y'all.
Hope you had a
wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with family, friends and, of course, lots of
good food. Stay warm for my northern-half readers and cool for the ones down
yonder. Enjoy the season we're in, a season of love and friends and … shopping.
Boo!
T. M.
