I know quite a few of you have had an unexpected visitor, be it corporeal or paranormal.  I guess I fall somewhere in between.  I’d like to share with you my very recent paranormal experience.  I’m still trying to decide if it was the unexpected visitor or was I?  Here’s the background.  My hubby and I decided to take a vacation, just the two of us.  We didn’t plan on visiting anyone, so we were a bit quiet about where we were going.  We decided to stay in the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  Hubby registered in May for our few days in September to make sure we got the Mackinac Suite – it is one of the few with a balcony overlooking the island.  At the time, I mentioned that the Grand Hotel is haunted, but to my knowledge, no one had reported any strange goings-on in the suite of rooms we reserved.  Boy was I wrong.

Tut came to us via aircraft.  He was contained on a large piece of rolled up papyrus.  The beautifully crafted artist’s rendition of King Tutankhamun’s death mask was bought as a souvenir by my husband after he had toured the great pyramids.  I was so pleased with the beautiful colors and level of artistry that we made plans to have it framed and hung on the wall of our living room when we could afford it.  In the meanwhile, he lay on top of the table in the formal dining room.

Just last weekend my editor and I came across this house.  I expect some of you would cringe when looking at it while others would be packing up their gear waiting for me to mention where it is.  The Red Pen saw it as a photo opportunity.  I saw it as an object of inspiration.  We both saw it as a mystery to be solved.  Why?  It’s because this house contains something very valuable.
