Doctor Bones has hit the shelves. It comes right out of the hand-drawn book of Jonna's Bedtime Stories, written twelve years ago and frantically illustrated before my maternity leave expired and I was sent back to work. That was a splendid year for writing and drawing children's stories because what else would I do with a six-year-old and a new baby for company all day? Jonna insisted on new characters in every new tale and this skeleton protagonist happened along near the end of the sketchbook. I remember that summer and fall well. Halloween was a highly anticipated event and Jonna desparately wished to be a ghost that year. It isn't our only story with rhyme and rhythm, but it does follow a nice pattern that has stood the test of time.

Salt. Cubic, clear, soft, it’s an evaporate. Historically, salt was used to preserve food. It’s used to purify and protect against dark energy. Ever wonder what a grain of salt looks like up close? A clear cube. Made up of ions that are polar opposites and stick together with the strongest forces of electrostatic attraction and yet the ions fall apart easily with a little water to muddy the bonds. Kind of like when the rational mind melts away in the middle of a dark night and the paranormal become plausible.
Hallucination? Sleep paralysis? Overactive imagination? Can a ghost be detected with scientific gear, quantified and confirmed? It’s so easy to poo-poo the notion of ghosts because they have no place in our modern, tech savvy world. But once upon a time, neither did germs, or atoms, or invisible waves carrying our conversations through air miles and miles to ears we may never see. What if there is energy we haven’t yet detected with our standard senses? Energy that latches onto organic matter and pulses out causing life. This is one topic the ghost hunters of Spectral Analysis explore.
