Missed last week because of work. Almost missed today because I had hand surgery yesterday (minor stuff, no worries). I decided I could find time to put up a little more of These Haunted Hills. Brendan and Josh are talking strategies to tackle the haunted murder hotel.

“Do you really think it could be a demon?” Brendan was prepared to say yes ghosts were probably real. He didn’t think he had it in him to leap all the way to demon which when he considered his Irish Catholic background made little sense. Demons should be easy to buy into, but he had a failure of imagination when it came to believing a demon had made him nearly wet himself and run for the truck. Then again, the sheer malevolence he’d felt, deep to his bones, could a mere ghost have done that to him? He had no basis for any of this.

I almost forgot to do this because I’m unmoored in time and space with the ice storm. I kept my power luckily and oddly it’s been restive knowing I’m expected to go nowhere or do anything (even discounting yesterday’s zoom meeting). It’s been the recharge I’ve needed.

Still rolling on with These Haunted Hills. The guys are rolling up on the murder hotel with Josh’s ghost hunting team.

Brendan turned slightly on the seat, staring out the side window. “Josh, do you think that whatever it was that made us high tail it out of here last time will be around? Do these things have memories?”

“As for memories, there’s no agreement about that. I haven’t seen much in the way of that kind of intelligence. Most of what I’ve seen are often residual hauntings, which means they’re more like players on a screen. However, there’s an almost poltergeist like quality to the thing here, at least the one that was with us in the hotel room. What happened when we were outside.” Josh bit off his response.

“That was weird.”

“It’s never happened to me before. I know the twins have experienced things like that. I’m just hoping it was a ghost.”

Brendan wet his lips. “Do you mean shadow men or a demon or something?”
