Hi, Bev....
Oh, crap, if someone sitting next to me went into a trance, I'd get the jelly-willies! (*>*)
Love the artwork. Great choice.
Nice end hook.

I have yet to meet a vocal or physical spirit, but have had many a mental conversation. You have introduced an unique feature in your post that has gained my attention. Very well written.

I found this to be a very good read. I wanted to continue on reading and just couldn't quit. LOL Now, I want to read the whole thing. In other words, you did a fantastic job at catching the reader and drawing them in. Very excellent writing. Kudos to you.

Hi, Jeanna. Thanks so very much for this really gracious review. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Things are going to get very interesting and very dangerous for the Team. It's great to know that you enjoyed this chapter--thanks again!
:) Bev

When you are done, may I have a copy of the book?

Why, I'd be honored. Thanks for the interest.
Comment from judiverse
Glad you're back at it with Paranormal Adventures. The team really sounds convincing. The speculation about Bellingham's possible bootlegging activity and the notion that there might be a tunnel are intriguing. Good point that the rich never seem to have enough money. The possibility that his wife threatened to tell about the bootlegging provide a motive for murder? Things look a bit suspicious when they arrive at the manor to find the gates open and the deerhound running loose. Mia and Emma both see the image of the women, but it's Bellingham who has pinned Mia to her seat. This is getting scary. judi

Hi, Judi. Thanks for the grand review, your generosity and your encouragement. I'm glad to be back with my team, too. Always good to get your perspective and insights. Things are going to get very chilly!
:) Bev
-
You're welcome. This sounds kind of like a TV series, with the team taking on the challenge of buildings that are said to be haunted. judi
-
That's a good insight, Judi. I do watch an awful lot of those shows. Some are good, some are really awful. My real life experiences with ghosts are also part of the mix. Thanks for sharing :)
-
Maybe you should write about your real life experiences sometime. Sounds fascinating. judi
-
I tried to when I first got to the site five or so years ago, but I didn't get much interest when people found it was based on real life. Of course, I like to think my writing has improved since then, too LoL. Thanks for the suggestions, Judi.
-
You might look those over and see what you have. judi
-
Hey, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks Judi!
Comment from Aussie
The real or imagined Kennedy family? I agree that rich people never have enough in their own minds, they don't know how to live without the high life. The idea of Bellingham hiding in a tunnel was a great idea. Just like some other well known villains like Hitler and Sadam Hussein.
I liked the idea of introducing a psychic. I really found your writing most professional and look for more!

The real Kennedy family, Kay. Joe Senior was quite the reprobate, which is probably why Rose was such a devout Catholic.
I'm so glad you liked this chapter. Thank you, my friend, for your encouragement and support.
Hugs, Bev

Lots of religion never covered the skeletons in those cupboards! Love, Kay.

No kidding. It never seems to, does it. :)

Catholics don't have a credit card to heaven! Especially the rich and famous. :-)
Comment from royowen
What a shock to see an apparent apparition in the window of a woman and then morphing into Charles Bellingham, that would be a shock. The vision of men in black capes malevolently standing over suffering souls. Then a plus, their might be a secret exit/chambers, which might explain a lot. Very interesting episode Bev, I don't think I've read many of these, fascinating stuff, you've done well, absorbing stuff. Blessings, my friend, Roy.

Hi, Roy. Thank you for this very kind and generous review. You're such a faithful reader! I always enjoy your perspective and insights. There's a lot to come, some of it based on my own experiences and some it based on legend. Great hearing from you, Roy.

Looking forward, Bev, Roy.
Comment from Green Lake Girl
The highest praise there is for you, Bev, is that you do creepy like no one else! There were a couple of "goosebump" moments--excellently penned. I felt like I was right there, even though I didn't want to be. (LOL) You describe the evil so well, without dousing your readers in it.
The waitress has my attention. What's up with her? Her unusual cobalt eyes . . . hmmmm. . . seems there's some foreshadowing there.
I won't lie, this story is my favorite of the two you have going. The flashback scene was wild and now the very clear apparition in the window. You simply have to release the next chapter VERY SOON. (Besides, I want to know what the "hot bats" are up to!)
Super, super chapter, Bev!

Hi, Marietta. Methinks you have the 'gift' as well. Yes, I do have something up my sleeve for our perky waitress.
Thanks so much for this absolutely grand review. I had a blast re-writing this for submission. As we've discussed recently, it's amazing the amount of information that I'm retaining from working with our excellent editor.
Your encouragement and generosity mean a lot to me, my friend. Seems we're both into the supernatural these days. Love it!
:) Bev

I knew it! That smarmy waitress is up to no good.
Let's hear it for ghosts, Bev. (Although my guy ghost is less threatening than your guy ghost.) LOL

HAHA, nothing gets past you Marietta. XX

This is the first chapter I've read and you have done an excellent job. You kept it at a good pace with the action and your characters were strong with good dialogue. Great job.

Hi, Okiegal. I'm glad this chapter didn't confuse you.
I really appreciate your great review and the specifics of what you feel worked. That kind of feedback is priceless! I hope you'll stop by again when I post my next one. There's a lot of chills to come.
Warm regards,
Bev
Comment from Joy Graham
I'm giving you a six star rating to cover the whole book :) In case I forget to do that along the way. I love this story. I love the ghosts :)
"clearest apparitions I've (every) seen" - should it be "ever"?

Thank you so very much, Joy, truly ... from the bottom of my heart. You've given me much to think about. A new direction, perhaps?! Love that. Hugs, Bev
Comment from Paradox Tremors
I love Mia's sensitivity to the supernatural. The black shadow with the red eyes makes me uneasy--not a good way to start with the manor being so active. Sorry I'm so late in reading these chapters, work and a health issue kept me away for the most part, but I'm fine now.
