I’ve got the itch and I know where I want to go.  About 2 1/2 hours west of Milwaukee, there’s this enticing and lovely old haunted inn.  It’s near some other Haunt Spots I’ve also been dying to check out. I think this needs to be a group trip. Why?  Because I’m a chicken and believe there’s protection in numbers.  I also think the haunts in this area are so sensational that a small group — say 6 of us — would intensify the experience. So, we drive over on a Saturday in J... Read More

After having been cooped up during our tour, my muttinsky Elliott is happily tearing around in the sunshine with the light keeper’s dog.  They’re two black Lab blurs so similar that I call mine and end up with his. It’s a gorgeous spring day and I’m even more in love with this little Lake Michigan harbor town.  After stumbling onto the village, I started digging for ghost stories.  I knew Caper company Explorers would also fall for it’s New England-y charm, so there had to b...

I’d just finished with my 4 month business incubator and had a brand spanking new biz plan in my lap.  It was heavy, so I did what I always do when facing a life transition.  Road trip.  I packed an overnight bag, just in case, and headed north. My first stop was a labyrinth in West Bend.  I’m a fan and had been looking for a new one to check out so it seemed as good a place as any.  If you like your labyr... Read More

I love "Celebrity Ghost Stories".  There, I've said it. They don't try to prove or disprove the existence of ghosts.  They are just well trained storytellers telling their ghost stories. I'm in heaven! Okay, okay -- the subtitle could more accurately be "Hollywood Sees Dead People" (which I totally ripped off from Saturday Night Live - and which you can see on hulu.)  but hey, what a perfect sentiment. The logo for the show doesn't show the face of an actual celebrity, but then t... Read More
