Written in 1845, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Oval Portrait is often compared to The Picture of Dorian Gray because that is the only other old timey story folks can think of. Honestly, I can’t name another one. But the Oval Portrait clings to the creepy aesthetic that readers of the Victorian author have come to love and one that surrounds a pretty spooky quote from Poe himself. 

In his book  “Philosophy of Composition,” Poe talks about how “poetry as art is the rhythmical creation of beauty, and that the most poetical topic in the world is the death of a beautiful woman” 

So, cuddle up, dim the lights, and let me read to you.

Hey Y'all!
Here is the audio from my Halloween Live Stream. That night I told a story about the Ax Man of New Orleans and the White Lady of Highway 38 from my Youtube channel. 
The recording may sound a little different, but I hope you like it.
I think I'll do another around Christmas!

Bears, bugs, and dehydration are just a few of the main threats facing hikers of the Appalachian Trail. This vast walking trail attracts millions of determined outdoor enthusiasts who have hiked parts of the trail or accomplished the honor of saying they finished the entire trek all the way up to Maine. There are an unlucky few, however, who never left the trail.

I see your face  before me every night

In this haunted house when I turn off the light.

Sometimes I hear you walk across the floor

And my arms reach out to hold you like before.

I live for all the things  we used to do

In this haunted house I filled with love for you.

When Loretta Lynn wrote these heartbreaking  lyrics in 1963 she was mourning the death of her best friend Patsy Cline. At the time, the coal miner’s daughter had just moved into an actual haunted house called Hurricane Mills Mansion. Apparently the 19th century home is full of ghosts.
