Share a Shake - Episode 5 - Jefferson Ghost Walk Guide Jodi Breckenridge

Still looking forward to my trip to Jefferson, I stumbled upon this video and thought I would share it. Jodi does the historic ghost walk tours in Jefferson and will be hosting the History Haunts & Legends event that I will be attending in a couple of weeks.

HaPpY... October

Most of you know by now that I love Halloween so much that one day simply isn’t enough time to celebrate it. I need the whole month. Typically, I use this time on here to share real ghost stories from my own experiences and I’ve even shared some of yours as well. (Thanks again for those.) 

This year I will be doing something different—as in this is something, I’ve wanted to do for a long, l o n g, time. *drum roll please* I will be spending three glorious days in Jefferson Texas including Halloween. 

What’s in Jefferson Texas? You might ask.  

Well, for starters, according to the Discover, Travel and Scifi channels, Jefferson is considered the most haunted small town in Texas.

But wait…

     there’s more.  

I will not only be spending the Halloween season in the most haunted town in Texas, I will be setting up a vendors table at the Fall History, Haunts, and Legends Event!!!!!

 

In between listening to these amazing speakers, I will be selling signed copies of my ghostly books, handcrafted bookends, and ghost pictures that I have taken over the years. In case you couldn't tell, I am beyond excited about this. Before you turn green with envy, let me say that YOU can come too.

Jefferson has it all. Haunted hotels, B&B's, restaurants, etc. I will be exploring some of my "hope for stops" along with their ghostly tales right here, virtually, you know before I actually go. So stay tuned for more details on my upcoming trip.

Ghost-like figure shows up on police station video

This is pretty interesting. I'd love to know what you think about it.

Ghost-like figure shows up on police station video: Surveillance video recently taken at the Espanola Police Station is a bit freaky.

Pioneer Library System

I want to give a quick shout out to the Pioneer Library System. Tonight they hosted the Local Writer's Dessert Showcase for the Friends of the Library. It. Was. Awesome. I met many wonderful people and had a great time. I want to give a big THANK YOU to all who were involved in setting this up.

If we met tonight I apologize for not getting your contact information so please use my contact me button. I'd love to keep the connection.

Writer's Funk

Most of you have probably heard of writer’s block and maybe even of writer’s slump. Unfortunately, I’ve taken writing (or lack of) to a whole new level. I call it writer’s funk. I haven’t been able to put a coherent thought down for quite sometime now. I have even found it difficult to write a blog post or a facebook update let alone accomplish anything on my WIP.

Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe what I have been going through. A couple of months ago I grew tired of seeing my blinking cursor mock me from the blank page so I decided to try something different. I scoured the internet for writing contest and found a few that inspired me enough to actually put my thoughts down on paper.

I ended up entering thee different contest! This was quite an accomplishment for me considering I hadn’t written anything in a while.

One of these contest was a Christmas story and I was informed that my piece was chosen to be put up on the website for public voting. YAY!!!! However, this won’t happen until next Christmas season, but it gives me something to look forward to anyway.

Last week, I received the news that my story, “Two Weeks,” was chosen for a cash prize for another contest I had entered, so YAY again. J

I’m writing this post, not to brag, (well, maybe a little) but to encourage others who might be going through the same thing to step out of your comfort zone and try something different.

For those who may be interested in reading my 450-word nonfiction story “Two Weeks,” it will soon be available here and no it isn’t about ghosts. See I told you it was different…
