Muse Food – Haunted Houses And The Importance Of Stories

By on October 23, 2023

Is Two Meeting Street Inn in Charleston, South Carolina, USA haunted? It was built in the 1890s so it likely is haunted but there are no great ghost stories, as far as I know, attached to it.

When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I travel, one of the pieces of research I love to do is learn about all the haunted houses and other ghostly visitors in the location.

Almost all old houses have been the site of at least one human death. Heck, EVERYWHERE on this planet has been the site of a human death. And if you believe spirits linger where they’ve died, well…then everywhere is haunted.

The difference between a historic house and a haunted house is the story. A haunted house has an awesomely spooky ghost story attached to it.

And that story makes the historic house special.

THAT is the power of a great story.

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)

Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.

Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.

That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.

The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce a passion he struggles to control.

But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.

Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of Valkyries everywhere and she will do anything to retrieve it.

That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant blue eyes and grimly set lips.

The male might…just might have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough touch, his punishing embrace, his stern words.

But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
