Worldly Travels Delivering Tooth Fairy Certificate Magic!

Dear Parents,

This week my travels took me to Lagos, Nigeria, Landover, Maryland and Valencia, Spain. If I had my druthers, however, I wouldn’t have gone to Lagos, then to Maryland and then back to Spain. Given that Spain is much closer to Nigeria, I wish the sequence of events had meant that I left home, went to Nigeria, then Spain and then Maryland. From Maryland, I am just a hop and a skip (or a flutter) back home.

On Monday, I got the call that a young Yoruba boy lost his tooth. I was kind of excited because I haven’t been to Nigeria in many, many years. I am not sure why because children lose their teeth there all the time, but that is just how things have worked out for me. I ‘flew’ across the Atlantic Ocean and decided to make a quick stop to hear singer/songwriter Youssou N’Dour who was holding a concert in his birthplace of Senegal. Oh how I love his music! Although I didn’t have a ticket, I don’t think the people checking tickets noticed me as I flew past them.

The concert ended on Tuesday night and I left immediately and made my way south to Nigeria. Lagos is beautiful this time of year. All of Babatunde’s family was sleeping and so was this 7-year old. He stirred slightly as I removed his tooth and replaced it with some Nigerian naira, but he quickly fell back asleep.

I had very little time to go back to the east coast of the United States to arrive by Wednesday night in Landover, Maryland and find Layla in her bed sound asleep. Her tooth, which I believe is her 5th, lay right beside her pillow. My guess is that she wasn’t taking any chances that I could miss it.

I went back home and began making out two Tooth Fairy Certificates; one for Babatunde and the other for Layla. I began to wonder whether that was it for the week, as my phone didn’t ring again. So I decided to take a little mini vacation to Puerto Rico, where I stayed for two nights. As I was about to head home on Saturday, I learned that Isela in Spain lost her 3rd tooth. And so, I gathered my things and since I was so close to San Juan, Puerto Rico, I hopped a commercial flight to Spain. I was too tired to make that journey twice in one week.

Isela is an incredibly beautiful little girl with a very unique name, which I learned while in her home that Isela means unique! As I flew into Isela’s room, her mother saw me and fainted. I must have given her a fright. Her husband, who hadn’t seen me, rushed to her side, which gave me a great opportunity to slip into Isela’s room undetected.

Although I was utterly exhausted when I got home Sunday morning, I have already made sure that Isela’s Tooth Fairy Certificate is on its way to her.

Until next time,

Love,
The Tooth Fairy

Arizona ghost hunter travels: Thanksgiving at Folsom Prison

This Thanksgiving, Phoenix ghost hunters are traveling to nearby states to check out the nearby hauntings.  Folsom Prison, east of Sacramento, has been found to be one of the most haunted prisons in California.
Be careful as you enter the property.  Visitors have seen a ghost walking around the front gate.  They say the Folsom Phantom is the spirit of a prison guard killed during a 1927 prison riot on Thanksgiving Day. Hopefully it wasn’t over the holiday meal.  Two Folsom prison guards died during the November 1927 uprising. On Thanksgiving Day, Ray Singleton was stabbed to death as he guarded inmates leaving the prison library after a movie. Prison guard, Charles Gillies had a fatal heart attack while he manned his post at the prison’s front gate. The riot lasted two days.  The police and local law officers ended the disturbance, in which three prisoners died.
Ghost prisoners have been seeing walking along the exterior catwalk.  They thought it was one of the prisoners.  One of the guards ordered the inmate to stop walking, and of course he did not. The residual haunted specter continued his march.  Guards fired bullets at the ghost only to see the man keep on walking and eventual vanish.
Most of the reports come from the morgue, old hospital, the old Death Row cells, and Building 5, the prison’s oldest cellblock.  Back in July 1897, unruly convicts at Folsom Prison were given the “Spook Treatment.”  The cell nearest to the scaffold was said to be haunted.  Prisoners were thrown into this chamber witnessed terrible paranormal events while locked up this “dark cell”.  The inmates say terrible threats were delivered by sepulchral voice through a telephone transmitter.  Two of the worst characters under Warden Aull’s watch were compelled to yield up a secret that bothering the officers of the prison for several weeks.  Now that’s a way to get the inmates to “talk”.
Stop and visit the museum. Cameras are welcome.
