Today I read an article by Kathleen St. John called “Ghost haunting Blake Street Vault helps give LoDo saloon that old-Denver feel.” Ah, Denver…my old stomping grounds. Where I grew up. Where, when I visit these days, I barely recognize.
There was no LoDo when I was coming up in Denver. That’s an invention of the [...]

There are a lot of administrative things to take care of while I’m building HauntJaunts.net, including designing a logo and tackling advertising. (Both from the perspective of doing it for the site and getting others to advertise on the site.)
THE LOGO
Last year Randy Okane at 5MinuteMystery.com hooked me up with the graphic artist who [...]

A few weeks ago I added The Battery Carriage House Inn to Haunt Jaunts’ Spooky Stays section. I don’t remember how I came across it, but when I went to check out their website I saw they have a page dedicated to ghost stories and sightings at the inn.
Very cool.
It gives a brief history of [...]

GHOST ADVENTURES
In addition to Most Haunted, the Travel Channel also has another paranormal show featuring ghosts and ghost hunters: Ghost Adventures. Starting June 5 they’ll be back with more [...]

I never considered camp grounds as potential Haunt Jaunts until I stumbled across an About.com: Paranormal Phenomenon post called “Camping Encounters with Monsters and Ghosts” by Stephen Wagner.
The only thing I normally think about when it comes to camping and ghosts is telling ghost stories around the camp fire. But Wagner’s article related incidents [...]

This afternoon my husband, Wayne, and I made an unexpected Haunt Jaunt to the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna, TN. It’s not far from the hospital where I’m getting my radiation treatments, which Wayne accompanied me to today because he unexpectedly got the day off.
Anyway, I figured if nothing else it’d make a great getaway [...]

Today I stumbled across a pretty good article on Digg called “Someone Grab Scooby-Doo: The World’s Most Haunted Landmarks.”
What I liked most about the article: the pics and details of the ghosts supposedly haunting each haunted landmark.
What I didn’t like about the article: I was surprised some places were left off. (Stanley Hotel, Myrtles Plantation, [...]

I got to see the Telephone to the Dead in practice the other day while I was watching the Travel Channel. I had turned it on while I was folding laundry and Extreme Mind Blowing Hotels was on. I just happened to tune in right when they were featuring the Lizzie Borden B&B.
Then next thing [...]

I am so excited about receiving my very first submissions for travel articles at HauntJaunts.net.
I contacted Hope Clark at Funds for Writers to let her know about my call for submissions a couple of weeks back, and she included it in this week’s Small Markets listings. But I also got a little bonus: advice from [...]

I recently signed on with Examiner.com to be a Nashville Getaways Examiner, but was excited to find several Haunted Places Examiners for me to follow in the process.
WHAT’S EXAMINER.COM?It’s a newer site dedicated to promoting cities by providing writers a platform to share their expertise or passion about where they live on all manner of [...]
