Shaking, rattling the frame
Window holding tight

Haiku – Spirit Chaser
He stood in the dark
Looking down the long hallway
Ghost pointing at him

I don’t know if you guys watch any of those reality based ghost shows or not, but my favorite of the bunch is “Ghost Adventures.”
Is it real? Is it fake? Who really knows.
Personally, I do think they occasionally catch something, but not nearly as much as they claim. Sometimes, just a little too much happens, but it is entertaining to watch. During their first season (the earlier episodes seem to be more legit) they supposedly caught something big on camera. To me, it looks pretty authentic, hard to fake, but again it is a reality based show about ghosts. Here’s the video. You guys let me know, real or fake?

Deceptive sunshine
Warming up my frozen bones
Disguising the cold

Finally trying to get back to a little 30 minute run/walk. Feels good to get back out there again even though today it was chilly on my shorts wearing legs.

Branches blown by the stiff breeze
Racing through the limbs

Steamy coffee in the mug
I start to wake up

Always enjoyed this one. Good song to listen to as you drink a cup. So, sit back, sip from your favorite mug, and relax this Saturday morning.

The first use of the word “vampire” in English wasn’t until 1734, when it was mentioned in a book called Travels of Three English Gentlemen. Although the idea of the “undead” returning to attack the living is ancient and occurs in many cultures, the bloodsucking vampire we recognise today arose in south-eastern Europe in the 17th century. Versions of the word “vampire” exist in all the Slavic languages and some linguists have traced it back to ubyr, the Tatar word for “witch”. via QI: Quite interesting facts about vampires – Telegrap

Storms crept slowly in last night
Bringing rain showers
