    ByScot Newbury October 30, 2014November 22, 2017

    This month’s the blog carnival peers into the darkness and finds . . . . A creak heard just outside the bedroom door . . . . A tapping on the window pane . . . . A sound of movement under the bed . . . . Something just went bump in the night….
