The state of Maine is filled with paranormal stories. From lonely lighthouses where ghostly inhabitants continue to keep watch centuries later, to mysterious creatures spotted deep in our woods. Therefore in celebration of National Paranormal Day, May 3rd, I am sharing my own fur raising walk that combined both a shadow figure and a strange […]
Backyard Cold Case Final Report: On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at approximately 6:00 AM, while on routine patrol, I received a vandalism report from the Vole family.

Good Morning! I’m Chuck Billy with your backyard snow report. After much anticipation the first snow of 2024 has arrived, and for many it definitely lived up to the hype.

Ever get that feeling at the back of your head that someone is following you too close? That’s what happened to Dad and me on a recent walk. If Chuck Billy was with us, I’m sure he would have assumed it was a UFO. I wondered if my squirrel friends were flying a kite on […]
Alright, now that things are slowly going back to normal here with Asa, I admit I had my doubts that would happen so may have come up with a backup plan. But do you blame me? Routine is very important to me, especially my daily walks. With things veering off schedule, I knew I needed […]
