Mystery of the Woods
There’s something mysterious about a forest, full of spooky sights and sounds. We have been hearing and seeing some strange things in our woods and around Tacoma – high-pitched screams and yelps. All we can see are yellow-green orbs that quickly vanish. What is it???

Ready? Let’s start at birds!
From our old abandoned barns we have been hearing loud screeches and hisses. It is mostly coming from the upper lofts, where we used to store the hay. We have noticed that since the noises have started, the mice have been disappearing from the fields as well! What do you think is causing such a fright?
