Writers' Pantry #89: Ghost Walk

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! I hope you are all doing well this morning. In an attempt to get in as much outside fun as I can before the weather gets too bitter, I went on a ghost walk held in my town! I expected a couple of American Revolution stories (lots of battles happened all around the area where I live), but there were plenty of stories from other eras of history, some of them quite chilling! Have you ever been on a ghost walk?


For this upcoming Weekly Scribblings, Rosemary will ask us to try Realism – which ‘attempts to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality.’ It tends to focus on ‘the depiction of ordinary, everyday subjects’ and ‘attempts to represent familiar things as they are’. She invites us to see if we can describe something realistically, in a way that indicates more than what is actually said.

On to the pantry! I’m taking both poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, old and new pieces. Just be sure to keep all prose to 369 words or fewer and one entry per person please.

  1. Thanks for hosting, Rommy. No, I have never been on a ghost walk, and don't think it's my kind of thing – however, I think that Wuthering Heights video is wonderful, compelling, and absolutely captures the feeling of the book.

  4. Good day, Poets!
    Not been on a ghost walk before. there are guided tours to some haunted places by paranormal investigators here, but never been on one. Had seen enough 'unnatural' things during my army days. :D

  5. I've not been on a ghost walk although the Villisca, Iowa axe murder house gives overnight stays. Visitors claim some strange events happen. I wouldn't pay but that's only because I'm a tightwad.

    I offer up another day at the farm. Cheers!

  6. I've been on a couple of ghost walks. My first was in Eugene, Oregon when my daughter lived there, and the second in Savannah, Georgia when on a girlfriend getaway. Both were great fun, and it's the proper time of year for one.

    1. It's kind of a neat way to get some of the history of the town too. I'd definitely go on another one.

  7. I've been on ghost walks in New Orleans and Salem. But I'm really looking forward to haunting a couple of ghost walks in New York City and Yonkers, since my Piano Man just gave me a very intriguing book about local ghost stories.
