It gives me great pleasure to announce that my 28th novel of the Haunted Series, Sticks and Stones is now available on Amazon Kindle. Take Mia, Murphy and PEEPs home with you for the holidays! I’ll announce when Nook and Kobo is available on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I upload them all at once, but Nook and Kobo need a wee bit more time.

It’s that time of the year when the craving for popcorn and scary movies comes over me. I love a good scare, don’t you? I’m not into gore fests. I get my thrills from heart-stopping suspense and those wonderful jump-out-of-the-dark moments. Here at Bliss Cottage, we are hard at work putting the finishing touches on The Long Game, so trips to the theater aren’t on the menu. Fortunately for us, there is Netflix.
I’ve put together our top five list of movies you can see on Netflix right now. I’m sure you can rent them or see them for free on other channels, but as the remote control confuses this PEEPs-soaked brain, I’ll just keep my list easy.

This is one of many pictures photographed by Sarah Ryan that accompanies Daisy Phillipson’s post “Breaking into a Haunted Mental Hospital in Korea” for chinch.co.uk.
Alexie is currently writing more paranormal adventures for Mia and PEEPs, and I, The Red Pen, volunteered to put together the blog post for this week. Even though I’m still in the midst of editing Restitution, I remembered something that might be of interest: the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital. Coming in at #7 in CNN’s “7 of the Freakiest Places on the Planet,” Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital is an abandoned structure in Gyeonggi, South Korea.
The rumors about Gonjiam revolve around the tale of a hospital in which patients began to die from unknown circumstances. These deaths resulted in the hospital’s sudden closure (mid 1980s). Some say the doctor tormented his patients, and it is those patients who remain, haunting this empty, mold-blackened, deteriorating husk of a building. Some others say it was simply a closure brought about by a bad sewage system, money problems, and the owner legging it to the United States, taking all documents pertaining to the land and building with him.
There are several videos of youtubers’ excursions into the mental hospital. The first one I’ve linked is the best in terms of capturing the eerie visuals of the place. It is short and steady - no shaky-cam à la Blair Witch - and is paired with creepy music.
The following are short excursions with commentary. In the first one, a door moves towards the end of the video. But why? Wind? The creepy spirit that – is right behind you! Okay, enough silliness. In both videos, a person decides to take a souvenir. One takes a stone piece from a game of Go, and another takes a rice paddle. Why? I like to present myself as a skeptic, but I would absolutely be afraid to bring something home with me. Just imagine what “ghostly attachment” a person would be inviting into their home.
Alexie would laugh at me saying I’m skeptical. She knows that I always lift me feet off the ground when I’m watching a scary movie, and she had to coax me out of the car when we visited a “haunted” cemetery. Have any of you visited some places of paranormal notoriety? If so, you are probably braver than me. Well, back to policing commas. Have a great weekend!
