THE SKELETON KEY GHOST STORIES: THE GHOST HOUSE
Ker-chunk. “Morning, Dave,” I said cheerfully, slipping my card back in the rack. I looked for an inconspicuous place to sling my lunchbox as he shuffled up behind me. “Evening, Charlie. Evening,” he mumbled, as he pulled his card and headed toward the time clock. Ker-chunk. “Old habits die hard, I guess,” I offered, and … Continue reading
THE SKELETON KEY GHOST STORIES: FAMILY SECRETS
The room was dark and musty. Not only from being closed up since the death of his grandfather, but from the matted carpet and old furniture that had been there since the early 50’s. The faded curtains were drawn and a soft yellow glow diffused throughout the room. Everything was in its place. Paul could … Continue reading
THE SKELETON KEY GHOST STORIES: THE BACKBOARD
The backboard, the one behind the tennis courts and near the lake, was an old thing. Very old, maybe older than tennis itself. And always damp.

I’ve always been interested in ghost stories, spending my early child reading every version of "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" and every "Time Life: The Paranormal" I could get my grubby little fingers on. But my own experiences with the supernatural were both unexpected, and unsettling. I had just started living my girlfriend … Continue reading
THE SKELETON KEY GHOST STORIES: TEMPORARY DUTY
06.02.06 9/11 has been great for business, but it’s sure made flying a bitch. I was running late for my flight to begin with, and then the good folks at the security gate insisted I remove my shoes. Note to self: don’t wear combat boots on a commercial flight. The guys back at the lab … Continue reading
THE SKELETON KEY GHOST STORIES: BLOOD
Blood. It was a simple enough word, thought Jack as he lay in the middle of the casino staring skyward at the hidden cameras that speckled the ceiling overhead. Of course he understood the complexity of what blood truly was. He’d had the anatomy course in college where he had managed to pass with a … Continue reading
