LATE SUMMER • AUTUMN • LET'S COZY
UPCOMING ARTICLES
apartment in fall Summer is quickly coming to an end! This autumn I will be writing several stories including Autumn Reflections and in December, Grey Holiday in Bath. I start baking gingerbread on late August Saturday nights; photos of my baking including that for an upcoming autumn family get-together will be chronicled in Cozy Photos from Home. My husband and I will be having picnics at the nearby geodesic home near the Museum of Life and Science when cooler weather returns, and upcoming trips to Edison Johnson and local cemeteries will be scrapbooked here on my blog. Upcoming Sad Premonition installments will feature Elena Hoyos, Dorothy Arnold, Huguette Clark, Connie Converse, Karen Carpenter, Phyllis Hyman, Fréhel, and Tammi Terrell.

Contacting the Dead

I am currently seeking information about an Ada Permenter who was originally contacted during a séance in the fall of 2002 at a retreat center in Valle Crucis, North Carolina. The building had been in a fire nearly a century prior when it was a girls' school. That night as I was falling asleep, I saw the figure of a young woman wearing an Edwardian nightgown standing at the foot of my bed. I later saw a picture of an Ada Permenter in the 1960s-era directory of a now-defunct church. She was older, as she would have been had she been a young girl in the early 20th century. Beneath her photograph, it stated that she had predeceased the printing of the directory. She was contacted for a final time during a séance in the fall of 2022. I distinctly remember it raining and the lights going out. If you are contacted by Ms. Permenter, it is probably not coming from this blog, but I cannot guarantee that.
