I also got some great news that Spooky Time Jingles wants me to be one of their artists! Getting an invite from them is so exciting since they advertise their artists as the best in the USA and Canada!
So I have been working my buns off this week and after I post this I need to finish up a few paintings and work on new charm bracelets since they all sold out! I have some beautiful charm settings arriving soon. I can't wait to get my art applied to them! As soon as I have the new bracelets finished I will post some photos for you. I don't know if folks know this but if you go to my home page or anywhere with photos of my work and you see something you like you can just email me for a custom order. Folks really like picking out their favorite characters for the charms. So far Grimmy, Sir Boo alot, My owls are the top picks. Running pretty darn close are skelley and The Vampire Nostrocuteness! I also finally have my net email up and running. It is folkartist@spookyhollow.net

True Ghost Story, " The House on Crawfordsville RD"
This morning I wrote a friend a very long letter about some of my true ghost experiences. This is part of that letter...edited some.
The house we lived in before this one, "the home we bought" , I could honestly write a book about. I am going to write about it my blog soon.
We had everything there. I saw a man with a flannel shirt and a red base ball cap. I was looking up from the basement stair way and saw this man moving in a choppy weird way that is very hard to describe. It was very breif and he was gone. This is the first full blown apparition I have seen as a grown up.
This is my story of "The House on Crawfordsville rd". I hope to write a more detailed version in my spare time with details I have left out so hopefully folks might want to read more. This is all true. No reason to lie..

I was looking up from the basement stair way and saw this man moving in a choppy weird way that is very hard to describe. It was very breif and he was gone. This is the first full blown apparition I have seen as a grown up.
My daughter was only about 9 or 10 then and she came running down the stairs horrified and sobbing saying something touched her on the leg. Then a week or so later she came crying again saying that there was a notebook just floating in her room. She said it lifted up..hovered and dropped. That day she moved out of the loft and into the spare bedroom. What is strange is that now she doesnt remember any of this happening. I wonder if she blocked it out.
One night I went to check on my son who was just about 1 or 2 then. We had a hallway( very skinny passage) that led from our bedroom to his. In the middle I did a dead halt. I honest to God felt that something was right in front me. I couldn't see it but I NEVER walked through that tiny passage again. Instead I filled it with junk lol.. That experience terrified me. I FELT someone there. In my face they were so close but I could see nothing. I will never forget that feeling. EVER.
My baby would point at the ceiling..One specific corner and look so scared. he would hide his face in our shoulders. This happened all the time. It was always the same corner of the livingroom. He would point at a high beam near the ceiling. We saw nothing but he definately was seeing something there terrified the little guy.
In the bedroom I could roll a small ball and it would roll, turn and come back and the floor was pretty level right there. We could not explain it.
We would get a horrible smell that smelled like a dead animal.
Then it would just go away.
In the kitchen of that home there was a big old well. ( The house used to be a barn )We had a sheet of marble on top of it so the kids couldnt get hurt.
The house used to be a barn of all things. I loved that house other then the scary things happening. The kitchen floor was all red bricks and rocks, the original barn floor. The well area gave me the creeps. I didnt even want to look inside it. I was happy to leave it covered.
The people who lived there before us called it the Haunted House. I didnt know this until about a month after we moved in. I asked the woman who lived there before us if anything strange happened to her there and she told me a few stories and also told me how uncomfortable she felt in the down stairs bathroom.
I got the same feeling in there. It wasnt small but you felt clostrophobic <--I know I had to spell that wrong. My daughter even had a spy kit with 3 motion detectors. One would always go off in that bathroom. We even switched them around to be sure it wasnt a defect in the toy. One night my husband woke up and said he saw his son who was spending the weekend with us walk into the bathroom. He thought it was him because of the height. He went to check on his son. No one was in the bathroom and his son was sound asleep. My husband is a huge skeptic and he still talks about that night.

One night I thought my oldest son was in the babys room.I thought I saw him just standing there looking into the crib. I was looking through that passage or hallway.
I went around to check on the baby and Casey was no where near that room. ( Notice I went around and avoided that passage. )
My friend Bob said that if he comes to Indy next year he wants us to go check it out. I know that folks who own
it so they would probably let us. We rented then and hoped to buy it ( before we realized it was haunted ) but the owners decided to hold on to the property incase they could sell it for a lot of money to folks buiding businesses.
You know what never made sense to me? The owners of the house had lived there. For some REASON they bought a SMALLER home just around the corner and moved in there and started renting this larger home with a huge beautiful yard and creek.
Makes you wonder why they would do that huh? When I asked her one day if she thought the house could be haunted she just gave me a smile and said, oh don't be silly and abruptly left ! I think they moved out because they were scared. I can't come up with any other reason to buy a smaller home just a block away with NO yard! Her husband would come to the house daily because in the back of the property he had a garage where he worked on cars. Why would he leave all that? My answer...because that House was Freaking Haunted thats why lol!
My feeling of that house was that something really bad was there. Something Demonic.
Even the bathroom in the basement gave us the creeps. For some reason ONLY THAT window would have tons of dead flys. No other window in the house had that.
I think the thing that scared me the most was the day I got this beautiful wall rosary from Italy. It is huge and it hangs in my bedroom now.
The day I got it I hung it up. Later I was sitting at my pc. My husband was sitting at his. We both heard this strange crackling sound but neither one of us commented on it.
I got up and went to my husbands computer and sat on his lap.
The minute I sat down this huge light globe crashed right where I was.
We took pics right away and there were some strange misty things in the photos. One woman said she saw a mans face.
( these pics are somewhere on my hard drive)
The really weird thing was the globe had slowly cracked all the way around in a circle. Almost like some used an exact o knife or something. The screws where still in.
Om gosh I almost forgot. My little boy had a teddy bear that recorded your voice. One day I pushed the hand and heard the scariest low growl demonic sounding voice. My husband put fresh batteries in it and it had that same voice.
It bothered me so bad I taped over it. I so regret doing that now. I also wish I would have gotten some evps there.
I need to write a book about that house. I am just not very good at writing as you can probably tell.
Do you know when I told BOB that I saw a man in that old house he asked me, " Did he have on a flannel shirt? " I was like OMG yes he did! Bob said that he doesnt know why but there are a lot of demonic cases where people see someone in a flannel shirt. That totally gave me goosebumps.
Honest To Dear God there was something bad in that house.
All I know about the home was that it was once an old horse stable or barn. It did have a fire and a dog died.

I am thinking a woman also died but not sure. I will have to do some research on that.
Now my family lives just a few miles away from that home. I passed it the other day and it was up for rent...again!
So much happened in that home...some scary things I am saving for later.
So that is just one of my true ghost stories and only part of it.
I have honestly had paranormal experiences off and on all my life. I am seriously thinking about writing them all down in a book. The problem with that Is I do not know how to write a book or even where to start.
If any of you have a true ghost story I would love to post it.
Thanks for reading and have a spooky day,
Ps...I am seriously thinking of joining a local ghost hunting group here in Indy. Just part time. If I do I will share any experiences with you that may happen.

New Ghostly surprises and upcoming art!
Photo of Ghost Mistress for the Haunted Doll House
Hey everyone! Today I want to show you 2 new ghouls I made for the Haunted Doll HOuse! The first Ghoul is a scary skeleton corpse. Of course he is lying in his brand new Coffin. The coffin is lined, made of excelent quality wood and even has a lid that comes on and off. The coffin sits on a metal device with wheels for easy scooting throughout the haunted Doll house...lol
I would like to thank Susie for selling this amazing mini coffin to me!
You have to check out the photo I took of this corpse lying in his coffin. Look at the upper Left hand corner of the photo below. There is a face that looks just like the skeleton face of the ghoul! How that happened I have no idea but it is so very cool!
The other new spook is what I call the ghost Mistress of the house!
I used vintage German Doll house dolls for the new spooks. The ghost mistress was the typical German mom and I added white cheese cloth and sort of sculptured it with a glue base to the doll. I seriously love the finished result.
The corpse was the German Father Doll now deceased...MUHAHAHAHAHA! I added a skeleton mask and dark spooky fabric to get the perfect dead guy look!
All I really have left to do on the house now is finish the front, add some webs and tiny details so it will be up for sale soon!
I also am posting some photos of some of my art not yet finished. I am finishing them up today though.
I also wanted to post this letter from a buyer. I think it was the nicest letter and comment I have ever recieved about my art. It actually brought tears to my eyes.
"Just wanted to compliment your original art. I will purchase this piece offered as a Buy It Now and add it to my collection. This original oil, in many ways, captures, combines, and perhaps surpasses Van Goghand Kinkade. Lots of talent here. Regards, Steve Myland"
So,
I am off to finish some new paintings and a few little Grimmy new ACEO's. Also this week maybe even tomorrow I am going to share my true ghost story with you of a house we lived in 5 yrs ago.
Also this week I will share with you the progress on MY doll house! This one will not be for sale. It is my hobby and I have having a blast trying to make it very victorian! I will add a few pics of it to this post for you.
If you like please see my Ebay store for auctions that will be ending soon and some new ones I will be posting this weekend.
