Welcome To Two Cans On A String Blog
I’ve been blogging here since July of 2014. With so much content available, I decided to mix some of the older posts with the newer ones to give you a true flavor of what this website is all about. The concept of “two cans on a string” makes me smile. I remember as a child trying that out — it wasn’t the best, but we had fun talking about the stuff that interested us at the moment. That’s what I’ve created here. I hope you enjoy it!! And . . . Thanks for stopping by!

It May Be My Imagination
But it seems too real -- I heard it . . . and so did my precious Yorkie. I bought some "ghost hunting" equipment. Nothing fancy, just some tools to discover who and/or what is in my house. It's one thing to be aware of "ghosts" in my house and another thing to have it...
Different Types Of “Hauntings”

Spirit Box Warning
As with any device you choose to use -- a digital recorder, a camera, tarot cards, spirit box, crystals, candles, etc. -- if you're feeling afraid, please don't use it. Some "spirits" may not be loving. Some messages may be frightening. That's why it is important for...

Have You Heard Of The Dybbuk Box?
Yeah . . . That box, sold at auction on eBay and was said to be haunted. Wasn't there a book and a film about that creepy old thing? It's a wine cabinet -- a dybbuk box and also spelled "dibbux". It's said to be haunted by a dybbuk. That makes sense for a dybbuk to...
Have You Seen A Ghost?
That's what we want . . . or is it! A great image of ectoplasmic goo that is transforming right before our very eyes into a human form. I was over on Twitter the other day and a "person to follow" suggestion was a woman author with a menopausal character who sees...
My Creepy Antique Mirror
Although I love real ghost stories, it doesn't mean I don't get creeped out and down right scared when strange paranormal activities happen in my own home . . . and with my personal belongings. Antique mirrors are known to have some of the silver reflective "mirror"...
Haunted School House

House In The Woods
Since this is the beginning of Summer, I thought it appropriate to tell a ghost story about a house in the woods. I'm creeped out a bit when it comes to property with woods beyond the property line. This seems to be an ideal place for ghosts and sinister behavior by...
Not Feeling Safe
This real ghost story hits home a bit with me and you may also be able to relate. Sophie bought her first home after working for 15 years at her job. The sad thing was that the room she selected for her home office felt uncomfortable and actually scared her. I know...
Uninvited Ghost
I suppose most ghosts are uninvited. Janet moved into her new apartment. All seemed well with the landlord bringing in a refrigerator and an antique dining table and chairs. Immediately, my thoughts are to cleanse the whole apartment and especially the items brought...
