Haunted Redwood Park

Haunted Redwood Park centers on the mysterious atmosphere of ancient redwood forests, particularly those found in Redwood National and State Parks. These towering trees, some more than two thousand years old and rising over three hundred feet tall, create an environment shaped by dense fog, filtered light, and deep silence. Coastal mist rolls between the trunks like drifting shadows, while wind moves unseen high in the canopy, producing sounds that echo through the forest floor. Fallen logs creak, footsteps seem to travel across soft fern paths, and pockets of cold air appear without warning. Such sensory distortions—caused by fog, height, and acoustics—can make visitors feel as though they are being watched, even when they are alone.

Beyond natural explanations, folklore adds another layer to the experience. Stories speak of shadowy figures between trees, voices carried through the mist, and ancient guardian spirits protecting old growth forests. Some traditions view these forests as living entities, places inhabited not only by wildlife but by memory itself—echoes of early settlers, lost travelers, and generations who passed beneath the same branches. When surrounded by trees older than civilizations, imagination easily fills the silence with meaning. The legend of a haunted redwood forest reflects both the psychological power of vast landscapes and humanity’s long-standing belief that ancient woods are never truly empty.

I still remember being in high school immediately after the Parkland shooting. My homeroom teacher looked thirty terrified teenagers in the eye and told us exactly what he would do if there was an active shooter. He said he would block the door with his body.

He told us, “I have lived a good enough life to attempt to buy you some time to jump out of the third-story windows and give you a chance to live.”

At the time, Republicans claimed that school shootings and piles of dead children were a necessary price to pay to protect the Second Amendment. They insisted the right to bear arms was absolute and untouchable.

But now? They say the Second Amendment no longer applies when the guns are being wielded by law-abiding protesters.

Now, the Second Amendment apparently doesn’t apply because ICE agents can kill someone and use the fact that he was simply legally carrying a gun as justification for that murder.

This is what matters to them more than keeping children safe and alive. It was never about the Constitution. It is about who they believe is allowed to hold the power.

I NEED HELP TO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS

I’m really fucking scared. The court date for eviction is the 23rd. My power is about to be shut off. I have nowhere to go. I don’t know what to do with my service animal. I don’t even have a car to live out of. It’s winter in Michigan and I’ll be on the streets. I’ll freeze.

I’m so so scared. I need help. Please please if you can, help

Triple Threat

An all-natural ginger, hotter than the Nevada desert where she grew up.  A beautiful play of freckles that go all the way down lets you know she’s real, not painted and retouched.  Perfect breasts with bright pink, puffy nipples – so very suckable.  Faye Reagan is a legendary Triple Threat.

But as he prepared to take on the Granady case, the biggest of his career, his public persona revealed only part of his story. He had become wealthy and famous by unearthing other people’s secrets, but the man known as Sheridan Bruseaux was keeping a few of his own.
