we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter. We *love* to hear your stories! If you have a story you'd like to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them!

This story is a reprint from November 2002, but worth reading again:

Follow Your Hunches. The house was empty, or was it? This reader followed her hunch. I used to work for a lady who bought estates. She bought an estate and we worked for 5 days cleaning the house out from top to bottom. The last day she told me I could have anything that I found that was left and we both sort of laughed because the place was cleaned out. That night my husband and I were
poking around in the basement and my "spider sense" was tingling. I got on a chair and looked into some of the rafters. I saw something, gritted my teeth and reached in to the cobwebby hole. I pulled out a box of steel wool. There was something behind that...another box of steel wool. Third reach was a charm
- an old cigar box filled with fishing lures wrapped in 1930s newspaper. The best one sold for over $1500 bucks on ebay. The best part was that instead of being jealous, my boss was just as tickled as I was. Kate G --------------------------
