Liz Surbeck, a freshman English major at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, was nice enough to quote me in a column she wrote on the Pemberton Hall legend for the Daily Eastern News. Read it here: Pemberton’s legend, Mary.

My birthday, and other news
I turned 27 today, in the shadow of a global economic collapse. I knew this was going to happen some time in the future, but I never thought it would come so soon. My readers should be prepared for some tight financial times, if not something worse than that. Hopefully we can recover from this soon, but if not, it never hurts to be prepared.
In other news, I have an article in this month’s issue of Paranormal Underground Magazine, which is now online for the public. It’s called “The Most Remarkable Proceedings: Witchcraft in England, 1640-1690,” on page 68. Check it out here: http://www.paranormalunderground.net/

The Legend of Pemberton Hall
Since the 1950s, a story has been told to every generation of girls who reside in Eastern Illinois University’s legendary Pemberton Hall, the first all-female dormitory in the state of Illinois.
This story involves an infamous dorm mother named Mary Hawkins and the ghost of a girl who was allegedly murdered in the fourth floor piano room over ninety years ago.
Pemberton Hall’s fourth floor has been closed for generations, adding fuel to the legend. Now peer behind the locked doors and find out what really happened on that dark and stormy night at Eastern Illinois University!
This is the most comprehensive account of the legend ever written.
