Welcome to the Silver Lantern.
I’m Cheryl Lohr — writer, storyteller, and devoted seeker of the strange. I believe every haunted object holds a fragment of a story, and I’ve made it my mission to bring those fragments to light.
I spend my days exploring dusty attics, wandering antique shops, and combing through old records, piecing together the lives behind the objects we leave behind. The result is The Silver Lantern — a collection of letters, essays, and discoveries that reveal the beauty and eeriness of haunted history.
Here, you’ll find the intersection of folklore, romance, and history: doors that sigh in the night, mirrors that refuse to forget, silverware that seems to shimmer with memory. I document each discovery with a storyteller’s heart, weaving them into tales that are equal parts mystery and poetry.
So light the lantern, settle in, and follow me down the shadowed halls of the past. There’s always another secret waiting to be uncovered.
