Adventures of Riley: Ghost Hunter

Ep 12: What Happened After

November 9, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 1 Comment

  I wearily unlocked the door to my camper. Geist let out a happy bark as she trotted up to greet me, tail wagging. Well, at least someone was happy to see me. After Hal and Gia left me in Room 16 at the Hotel Vendome, I had a confusing phone conversation with Craig, who […]

Riley on TV! AZ Daily Mix, Channel 7 in Phoenix

November 8, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 5 Comments

And just like that, Riley is one step closer to becoming a famous ghost hunter. This morning I headed down to Phoenix bright and early (5 am!) to be on AZ Daily Mix, which is Channel 7 (it’s actually a statewide channel). I talked about Riley, ghost hunting and my new novel “It Began With […]

Ep 11: Hal to the Rescue!

October 26, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 4 Comments

  I squared my shoulders and flung open the closet door. The closet looked like a normal hotel closet, with a few empty hangers on the rack, a folded blanket on the shelf, a stand for suitcases and …. A mouse. I blinked. Yes, there was a real-life mouse sitting in the middle of the […]

Ep 10: Wait a Minute. That Scratching Noise Is Coming from the Closet!

October 12, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 2 Comments

I froze, Craig’s words echoing in my head. Maybe your compass is acting like that because there’s a ghost in your room. The phone crackled. “Riley?” Craig’s voice floated out. “Are you there?” I licked my suddenly dry lip as I desperately searched the room. Everything appeared to be normal. Except for my compass. Which […]

Ep 9: What’s That Scratching Noise Outside the Door?

September 28, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 2 Comments

I knew something was off the moment I stepped back into my room, Room 16, Abby’s room. At first, I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. Did it feel different? Look different? Smell different? I did a careful scan. What was I missing? The bedspread was still smooth and untouched. My ghost hunting kit was […]

Ep 8: Riley Gets Ready for Room 16 in the Hotel Vendome

September 14, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 3 Comments

As I packed for my big night in Abby’s room, Room 16 in the Hotel Vendome, I couldn’t stop thinking about my conversation with Hal. Was I doing this ghost hunting thing all wrong? I didn’t have any of the equipment he talked about—my ghost-hunting kit consisted of a notebook, a flashlight, and a camera. […]

Ep 7: Ghost Sightings, True Hauntings, Real Ghost Stories and More

August 31, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 1 Comment

To start my research on all the ghost sightings of Abby, the ghost at Hotel Vendome (along with her cat, Noble, who is also part of the real ghost stories and true hauntings lore), I decided to check out the local Sharlot Hall Museum, which is dedicated to preserving Prescott’s rich Western history. Prescott is […]

Ep 6: Ghost Hunting Adventure Continues: Hotel Vendome

August 17, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 2 Comments

I admit it, my last ghost hunting adventure at the Hassayampa Inn had … mixed results. On one hand, I saw my first ghost! Yay me! On the other hand … I wasn’t sure I could actually, you know, post about it without getting in trouble. Well, never fear. Today was a brand new day. […]

Ep 5: Did I Really Just See a Real Ghost?

July 6, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 1 Comment

Did I really just see an actual, genuine real ghost?! Did I just catch a glimpse of Faith, the resident real ghost of the Hassayampa Inn in Prescott, Arizona? With shaking hands, I pawed through my ghost-hunting kit to find my notes. Yes, there it was. Faith wore a pink a dress. Faith carried flowers. Oh […]

Ep 4: Meeting Faith

July 1, 2018 by Michele Pariza Wacek 2 Comments

My phone rang as I was sitting in the maid’s closet at the Hassayampa Inn. I jumped, spilling my iced salted caramel mocha latte all over me. It was Craig, my on-again, off-again EX-boyfriend. I grabbed at the phone, spilling more coffee all over myself, trying to silence it before the entire hallway of guests came […]
