My favourite one sentence horror story:
Don't look behind you.
I bet if you were to ask most people what they would picture to be a haunted place, the last thing they would think of would be a national chain store. Yet, one of the most profound haunting Iâve ever experienced in my life was at a Starbucks, of all places.
Many years ago, I was a barista for a Starbucks on a military base. The building was rather old, as was the base itself. When I first started working there everything seemed normal, as it always does. Just a cute little Starbucks, nothing more. That was until I started hearing things that should not be possible and seeing things that were not there.
I believe my experience all started with the loud bangs coming from the back of the store when no one was back there. My coworkers and I noticed much of the activity would start in the evening and continue after we were closed. It was extremely unnerving because the fridge doors in the back were heavy and at times required substantial force to pull open. The back door that led to the outside of the store was also bolted and extremely heavy. You had to have a key to unlock and it and a brick or rock to hold it open. So why were we hearing what sounded like the back door opening and slamming all on its own? Or the refrigerator doors opening and slamming all on their own? On top of this, objects would fall off the shelves in the backroom that were securely placed on the shelf with no way to fall on their own. We would all run to the office after shutting off the lights for the night just so we didnât have to be with whatever was back there making those noises.
The activity did not end with the unexplainable noises, however. After a couple of months of working there, I started to see figures in the store when there was no one there. I think the first one I ever saw was a tall, dark shadow figure standing partially behind a large bookcase we had in the lobby. I looked away for a second, thinking it had to be my mind playing tricks on me, but when I looked back around, it was gone. I tried recreating what I saw in an effort to explain it to myself as a trick of the eye or something else, but no matter what I tried, nothing could recreate exactly what I saw. Another time I was making a latte, and could have sworn I saw a man watching me make the coffee. Average height, ginger hair. But when I looked up, there was no one standing there, and no one in the store who looked like him. I wasnât the only one who had seen or felt a presence in the store, however. One of the coworkers recollected that she was carrying on a conversation with someone that she thought was another staff member in the back room, only to look up from what she was doing and realize that she was, in fact, alone, and said coworker was no where to be seen. My best friend who worked with me there told me of a night where she was closing, and as she was sitting in the office with our supervisor waiting to leave for the night, our supervisor locked eyes with the security camera footage on the computer and wouldnât look away. His body was blocking the computer so she couldnât see what he was looking at, and then after a few unsettling seconds, he broke out of the trance and said, âokay, itâs goneâ. âWhatâs gone?â, she asked. Turns out our supervisor had seen a tall, dark, shadowy figure on the security camera in the back room where we always heard the noises.
Needless to say, we were all rather unsettled by this. No one knew why the building was haunted or what could have attracted the paranormal to our coffee shop. I had heard a story that the building used to be a post office years ago, and while it was in operation there was an armed robbery where someone was killed. I could never find any proof to verify this story, however, so to this day Iâm still not sure why there was so much activity in that place.
I will never forget, on my last day there, the startling âfarewellâ I received from our Starbucks ghost. It had been a little while since we had experienced any activity in the store, and so we werenât really expecting anything to happen on this particular night. As we were heading to the office to close up, we started joking about how I would never get to experience our ghost again. As we carried on, we started hearing the banging again coming from the back. Of course, we were all rather startled. We just decided to quickly wrap up, get out of the store, and lock up. It was as if our ghost was reminding us they were still there, because as we walked out the banging was louder than ever. It almost felt like the noise was following us out. We ran out of the store as fast as we could, and to this day I will never, ever forget the goosebumps and racing heart I experienced after that happened.
Me, 100%.
Honestly, as someone who has worked at multiple haunted workplaces and has also lived in a couple of haunted homes, you do kinda get used to it after awhile lol
Your daily dose of spooky posts
Love this example of where to wear rings for specific intentions đâ
There is nothing like enjoying a nice glass of wine while watching the sunset đ

Gemini constellation on a spring night âïž May 7, 2022
Recently Iâve taken to thanking my candles if I need to blow them out or snuff them out before theyâve completely burnt down.
Itâs a popular school of thought that blowing a candle out âblows the magic awayâ or ruins the spell. Realistically, I do not have time to sit and let an entire pillar or jar candle burn. Not to mention, large candles are expensive, and I like to enjoy them for multiple sittings.
And so, when I need to put a candle to sleep, I whisper to it:
       âThank you for the help, candle, sleep well.â
And then I either snuff it with a candle snuffer, cover it with the jar lid, or simply blow it out.
When I need to use the candle again, I will tap it a few times, and say:
âGood morning/afternoon/evening candle, I need your help again.â
Then I will light it and go about doing my work.
It works well for me. Maybe it will work well for you.
I absolutely love this idea/solution!! đ
đŻđȘ”đČHappy Yule!đČđȘ”đŻ
Take the time today to be around friends and family today. Make something delicious (whether it be a comforting soup or some delicious cookies). Take in a deep breath of the frosty, winter air. Write down all of your blessings and everything youâre thankful for. Itâs been another crazy year, but even in the midst of chaos there can be hope and joy. â€ïž
Just thought this was a really cute poem â€ïž
Spirits of the Dead by Edgar Allen Poe đ€
Probably one of the my new favorite poems by him.
This may seem a little random, but I was wondering if any of you had some tips on how to find something that you have lost? I have recently lost a very precious piece of jewelry, seemingly out of no where and I have no idea what could have happened to it because I never take it off, and I fear it may be gone forever. If you had any advice or tips on how to find something youâve lost, it would mean the world to me. I would love if you could just leave a comment down below, or even just DM me. Thank you, and blessed be âš

THE MAJOR ARCANA
The Fool â Whenever you are ready
The Magician â It has already begun
The High Priestess â You know exactly when
The Empress â During harvest season
The Emperor â It is almost done
The Hierophant â It is finished
The Lovers â As soon as you make the choice
The Chariot â In just a few moments
Strength â The minute you accept it
The Hermit â Only after you meditate on it
The Wheel of Fortune â During your first or next Saturn Return
Justice â When you least expect it
The Hanged Man â When the circumstances change
Death â Whenever it is ready
Temperance â After the storm
The Devil â It is happening right now
The Tower â Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly
The Star â The more you believe, the sooner it will happen
The Moon â It cannot be determined at the moment

To Help You Remember:
Wands are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.
Swords are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warriorâs part.
Cups are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.
Pentacles are seasons to years, because they are seeds, and some seeds only require a season to grow while others need a year.
The timings for the Major Arcana and the Pages are related to the cardsâ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.
The Kings, Queens and Knights are the Zodiac signsâ birthdays:
King of Wands â Leo (Fixed Fire)
Queen of Wands â Aries (Cardinal Fire)
Knight of Wands â Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)
King of Cups â Scorpio (Fixed Water)
Queen of Cups â Cancer (Cardinal Water)
Knight of Cups â Pisces (Mutable Water)
King of Swords â Aquarius (Fixed Air)
Queen of Swords â Libra (Cardinal Air)
Knight of Swords â Gemini (Mutable Air)
King of Pentacles â Taurus (Fixed Earth)
Queen of Pentacles â Capricorn (Cardinal Earth)
Knight of Pentacles â Virgo (Mutable Earth)
Love this Tarot timing chart, so I thought Iâd reblog to hopefully help someone else!
Hello witches! âš

An excerpt from Ghosts Among Us by Leslie Rule đ»
This book is SO good. Itâs retellings of ghost stories from around the United States, and I am just eating up this book. Itâs a light read, nothing too serious or scary, but very entertaining. If you love the paranormal, I highly recommend this book!
