UNIQUE ZOOM TALK coming up this Wednesday 🙂Discover my paranormal experiences on the world's most haunted ship, declared by Time Magazine as one of “America's Top 10 Most Haunted".
A retired British ocean liner that sailed mainly on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard-White Star Line (like the Titanic, although she was double its size), the RMS Queen Mary is now permanently moored in Long Beach California. I've had the pleasure on staying overnight on this beautiful historic transantlantic ship and was transported immediately back in time, experiencing plenty of paranormal activity on each stay.
Join me to discover its ghost stories and the paranormal activity common to many of its overnight guests. INCLUDES QA DISCUSSION SESSION AND FURTHER READING AND LINKS. Don't miss it, book today! ... See MoreSee Less

Magnificent. Thanks so much for this link. I miss BTVS muchly, and seeing that GIF of the kid at the plate in the Little League Game — kind of intimidated at first, but then watching her facial expression change as she ‘gets it’ — well, that one kinda summed up all the many and wonderful episodes of Buffy for me and why the CW, WB, Fox and other youth-oriented supernatural-flavored shows that have followed all took their cues from Whedon and company. Thanks again!!
