The three of us parked our vehicles, they in the Jeep, me in my Ranger, and we walked across the narrow roadway. It was there that I had one of the most frightening paranormal experiences of my life.

Though I have been in the area of Fourth and Valley several times this year taking pictures, I had never seen the large statuary tucked back against the building I was now photographing. It reminded me of some sort of Egyptian god, but I have no idea which one. So since I was there, I figured…

The week continues to get rougher for my wife, Mary. First one childhood friend dies and then another passes, jus’ as sudden. Anita Zick was 54-years-old and recently diagnosed with a non-operable brain tumor. She lost her battle with the malignant cancer, passing quietly in her sleep.
