Havre de Haunts Tours

I was born in Havre de Grace. The town has played host to some historic figures of fame as well as some dark deeds. It is believed a few inhabitants of this picturesque town have elected to continue to reside in Havre de Grace even after their deaths.

Havre de Haunts Tours and Paranormal Research was founded in 2013 to preserve the history of Havre de Grace and investigate its supernatural occurences.

In October the group offer tours highlighting Havre de Grace's history and ghostly legends. I'm happy to say that I will be assisting with some tours.

My tentative schedule to give tours is as follows -

Fri Oct 3rd at 7pm
Sat Oct 4th at 7pm
Fri Oct 17th at 7pm
Sat Oct 18th at 8:30pm
Fri Oct 24th at 7pm & 8:30pm
Sat Oct 25th at 8:30pm
Fri Oct 31 at 8:30pm

Havre de Grace currently offers festivities on First Fridays and annual parades for holidays like Christmas and Halloween. The city once offered a movie theater dating back to the silent age of cinema. The theater is no longer active, but its spirits are and may provide ghostly piano music.

Short Chills

One of the first places I placed my writings online was at microhorror.com.  Nathan Rosen is microhorror's editor, a site dedicated toward presenting a vast variety of writers and fiction all with a common goal - to leave the reader with a frightening feeling using a minimum amount of words.

My stories at microhorror.com include:

The Whitechapel Wagers - The bets of two gamblers result in terror for those living in Whitechapel.

Like Taking Candy - A night of Halloween trick or treating has a horrifying effect on several kids.

The Cemetery - All is not quiet in a graveyard - thanks to one of its residents!

Several of my stories at microhorror found their way into my collection of short stories, Summoned Secrets, which is available at www.lulu.spotlight/spotlight/wrigler

Mr. Rosen has honored me by asking me to help in the judging of the 2013 Halloween contest entries and I'm very pleased to say that exciting events are continuing to occur at www.microhorror.com including a new story contest in celebration of Halloween next month.

MANC Approaches

     Once more Maryland's Hunt Valley Wyndham is about to play host to three days of film and entertainment inspired fun! September 18 to 20th are the dates of the 9th annual Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention.  I've been happily attending since it first started in Aberdeen, Maryland.  The con has definately grown over the years and played host to a multitude of guests, from cinematic classics to sitcom favorites!  The list of past celebrity guests includes - but is not limited to - Larry Storch, Ron Ely, Davy Jones, James Best, Ed Asner, Julie Newmar, and Lana Wood.  In fact Wood was at the first con and must have had a good time as she is returning.  And the former Bond girl will fit right in as a Bond himself, George Lazenby, is amongst this year's guest list which also includes Veronica Cartwright, Piper Laurie, Josip Elic and William Sanderson (another returning guest)!  The con is a great chance to collect autographs and have pics taken with the guests.  There's a movie room plus seminars and slide shows address a wide variety of topics from entertainment's history.  See you there!
