DEMON OR KNOT
Debe Branning
As a paranormal investigator in the state of Arizona for
nearly twenty years, I have acquired several so-called
“haunted items”, much like our celebrity friend who
boasts his own museum and popular TV show.  Although my collection doesn’t merit its own exhibition
hall, items have been tossed in envelopes, shoe boxes, and closets.
A very close friend of mine traveled to Arizona from
back East in search of an older house she could turn
into a bed and breakfast. Instead she found a bed
and breakfast she could easily turn back into a cozy
home.  She was very excited about purchasing the
historic home, and began to do some upgrades right
away.  Like many new homeowners, she was having
a difficult time getting use to the creaks and noises of
her new residence. Shortly after she settled in, I received a phone call about a problem that was making
her a little apprehensive. 
“Can you come over with some of your ghost equipment and check out my house,” she sounded a bit nervous, “There is something strange on the outside of
one of my bedroom doors.”
“On the door?” I was puzzled. “Yes,” she hesitated,
“Every time I walk down the hallway, I see this thing on
the door that looks just like the devil.”
I threw a few basic items in my ghost bag and drove
over to my friend’s new home.  It was in a very nice
neighborhood, and I didn’t pick up any bad “vibes”
concerning the house as I walked up to the front door.
I rang the bell.  My friend ushered me in and proudly
gave the nickel and dime tour of the former boarding
house.
“So, where is this door?” I poked my head down the
long hallway.
