Curious Cat
Curious Cat explores the shadowy space where science and the supernatural collide. Join us every week as we examine what it means to be a soul in a meat suit. The moments that prickle your skin, cause the hair to rise on the back of your neck: a kiss of chill air in a haunted space: a flash of déjà vu; a knowing when you step into a new place; a sense of connectedness to something bigger as the sun sets behind the mountains. These are the moments that cause us to wonder if there is more to this existence than what we can graze with our fingertips. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

CASCADIA #15 - Haunted Cascadia
As Spring days blur into endless starry summer nights, I hope you'll retreat into the piney wilderness with me. After enduring a drafty winter, it's well past time we got our faces into sunshine, feel peat moss beneath our bare feet, and savor this season of growth and renewal. There's no better way to send a refreshing chill down your spine than to dig into the haunted side of the Cascade Mountain Range.
Let's get into it!
Haunted Peaks
It's a fact that the Cascade peaks are haunted. From lost hikers, to murder, to tragic accidents, and risky ventures like mining, these mountains have seen their share of tragedy. Some believe the stone of the mountains absorbed those memories and when conditions are perfect, they play back like a cassette tape.
