Listen: Snowed In with a Ghost

I moved into a haunted building in a ritzy resort resort town and sank into a terrifying depression. I never dreamed the thing that saved me would be the woman who died in my apartment.
With my daughter’s school canceled today due to "impending weather" (still looking pretty light so far, tbh 🙃), snow is on my mind. Which, of course, immediately made me think of Krista Diamond’s gem of a story about getting to know Ramona, the possibly fictional, possibly real ghost who lived in the old brothel she moved into one very cold and depressing winter. Give it a listen yourself — the perfect thing to do while you make your lunch or go for an afternoon walk.
