THEY’RE HERE
Surreptitiously
Wisps of white into the night
Ghosts form quietly

Quietly they form
White wisps of ghosts in the night
Surreptitiously

DEVIL RADIO
Phenomenon…An extraordinary, impressive, significant, unusual, unaccountable occurrence or fact that is perceptible by the senses.
That’s what I would call the Devil Radio incident…a phenomenon.
The incident happened a few years ago. I’ve always listened to the radio, late at night. My favorite program to hear, is Coast 2 Coast. It comes on at midnight, in our time zone, and topics range from conspiricy theories, ghosts, numerology, UFOs, bigfoot, and all types of weird and wonderful things you could ever imagine. They have guests from time to time, that speak on their experiences.
This night, they said they were going to interview a person that claimed he was the Devil.
Well, like I mentioned, there are some pretty far out there topics covered on this program, some believable, some not so much. However, this was one I really didn’t want to hear…seemed too scary, to me. I kept the radio on, right up until the time came for the interview, then I turned it off. I keep my transistor radio by the pillow, so I can just reach up and turn it off if I want to, without getting out of bed.
So, I tried turning it off…but it wouldn’t stop playing the radio program.
I switched it on and off again, just to make sure…and I was sure it was turned off. But, it kept playing. I turned the dial to different stations, all across the dial, and the same show was playing on all the stations. Meanwhile, the interview was starting, and I was hearing what I didn’t want to hear.
In the end, I removed the batteries from the radio, and that seemed to work. No more Devil person talking. I have no idea why this happened, or how. I don’t really know what such a thing would be called in paranormal terms, as I’ve never heard of it happening to anyone else.
It never happened again, even though I listened to many more programs after that night. Maybe my radio was possessed by the Devil that one time? Who knows…

Writer’s Workshop
For John’s challenge:
This week’s questions:
This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts: November 20, 2025
***
***
Here are a few thoughts on these questions:
1. symbols … I’ve just the other day noticed on my keyboard the very top symbols. I have no idea what they are for, except my daughter was trying to tell me some of them. One was to make the screen lighter or darker, with a sun looking symbol? I’m supposed to push it? So I did and nothing happened at all, not brighter, not darker, just nothing. So much for that symbol. Doesn’t work. Then somewhere there is supposed to be a sound one for louder or quieter? Basically same deal there. I just don’t get these symbols at all.
4. I’ve felt like I was in the Twilight Zone lots of times. One time my daughter and I were going to yard sales. We were on a certain road, found the sale, bought some stuff, then got back on the road …… or we thought! Nothing, absolutely nothing looked familiar. We were very confused. We kept driving and driving and it was all different, places we’d never seen before. How can we all of a sudden be in a completely different place? Another dimension? Time travel? Missing time? A wormhole? Very spooky, and it was the middle of the morning, a nice sunny day. Eventually there was some kind of shift and everything was normal again, and we knew where we were on a familiar road, but miles from where we were. Still have no idea, so it was Twilight Zone for sure.

The image in the photo just appeared on my computer monitor awhile back. (maybe 2017) It looks like a dog to me, so that’s what I call it…my Ghost Dog. … I don’t know, exactly when it came, but it is always there. It doesn’t matter how many times I clean the screen, it is still there. Anyway, I thought I’d ask it some questions, just to see what comes into my mind. These words are the result.
***
A shadow of a ghostly looking dog standing sideways that was on my computer screen. The screen background is black, and the dog is black, but there is a halo of bright and gray surrounding the dog. This is exactly how it appeared, every day.
***We’ve since gotten a different computer monitor and the dog wasn’t on this one.

GHOST DOG
Who are you?
I am Ghost Dog
Why are you here?
To protect you
Where are you from?
Beyond the veil
When did you appear?
When the shadows moved
What should I know?
Unseen entities are real
Who sent you here?
Your spirit guide

13 Days of Samhain = Dead Right or Dead Wrong
***
***
Dead right or dead wrong
Skewered on the Devil’s prong
Fall for tricks
Flame-fire licks
Crossing over River Styx
But living right
You’ll see the light
Being brave you must behave
When Judgement comes the Lord will Save
Choose your fate, mark the date
Dead right or dead wrong
The End Of Days won’t be long

DECEPTION
Six times six times six, again
Dark and lonely, was I in…
This moldy grave.
Barely breathing, heart still beating…
None to hear my mad-man rave.
Cursed and cast into the void,
For eons have I toyed…
To claim all psyche’s pure and good…
To corrupt them, if I could.
Six feet under, left asunder,
Tricked them, now they’re mine…
They never knew I was immortal,
To rise again…it’s time.
Years of torture, hell’s departure…
Vengeance will be taken.
I’ll tempt, and bend, and lure to sin…
And, they shall be forsaken.

The girls giggled as they said it three times.
“This is just a myth, a joke.”
“I don’t know, maybe. I heard it was real. ”
“What, that if you say it three times there will be a boogyman, called the Ferryman that will come steal your soul?” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, right.”
“Let’s try it again.”
Ferryman Ferryman Ferryman
Silence
The girls were never seen again.

A poem I wrote in 2017
***
“The Voices You Hear”
Breathing softly, coming near
Listen closely, you will hear
Voices of those we hold dear
Whisper, whisper in your ear
Spirits who love you, nothing to fear
Ghostly words from sacred bier
Into our hearts, oh so clear
Whispers surround us
In the atmosphere

list of prompts day by day
For Sammi’s challenge
13 Days of Samhain (volume vi) – A Horror / Halloween Writing Prompt Challenge
***
This is a new challenge I just saw listed, from Sammi. The first prompt is to write anything about ‘dust to dust – ashes to ashes.
***
As they gather, they shriek
Hot west winds roar over the Rockies
Picking up pieces and souls
A norther comes blowing in
bowing branches and bringing bodies
Easterly tempests snatch entities ethereal
And the southern breeze wafts sinuously silent
They gather
They gather
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Grave robbers pick the pieces of our souls
***

And for Day # 2 – Dead and Buried

LOST SOUL
~
I could bury your lost soul in fog,
The mists of time mysterious…
Seeping through my brain’s lament,
You make me most delirious.
I will not bury you now,
To let you rot away…
You are the beating of my heart,
And there you’ll always stay.
As I release you out of my mind,
I see you in my dream…
A ghost upon my psyche…
So present, yet still unseen.
I cried when you were finished, then…
But never were you diminished…
A breath of life I gave to you,
And now you are replenished.
I write your story on my soul,
To bring you back to life…
A supernatural being, now
free of pain and strife.
Your cryptic ghostly wanderings,
Your still alive remains…
I write your story on my soul,
And sing your sad refrains.
