Do animals have spirits that linger lovingly by our sides? Many who've experienced the comforting presence of beloved pets long after they've crossed the Rainbow Bridge would say a heartfelt yes.

In the Shadows is gearing up for an unforgettable night of haunted heritage at the historic Hotel St. Nicholas on November 15th.

This reflection is for my friend Mary Ellen, whose spirit and heritage have taught me so much about memory and joy.
