Increasingly I’m noticing a trend in some of my Google Alerts: stories about Haunt Jaunts as fundraising venues. Especially for historical societies and foundations.
This weekend I came across another one. How the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum in Alabama recently did a ghost hunt as a fundraiser. Specifically, The Friends of the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum held a Paranormal Weekend [...]

After I posted my entry about haunted travel sites yesterday, I came across yet another travel site: Roadside America, an online guide to offbeat tourist attractions.
Its focus isn’t necessarily restricted to haunted places, though. It’s a smorgasboard of things.
WHAT YOU CAN FIND ON ROADSIDE
AMERICA
As travel sites go, they have pretty standard features, such as [...]

In yesterday’s post I mentioned how HauntJaunts.net is not a one-of-a-kind, there are other haunted travel sites out there. What are they?
I listed them yesterday, but they’re worth noting again:
THE OTHER HAUNTED TRAVEL SITES
A Ghost in My Suitcase
The Haunted Traveler
TravelParanormal.com
NOT SUCH A NOVEL CONCEPT
It was in late 2007 when I first thought instead of doing [...]

I’m planning a Haunt Jaunt to Florida’s Gulf County for July. When I was blogging at Families.com I wrote about Cape San Blas, a dog-friendly city in Gulf County. I’ve wanted to go ever since (and so has my pooch, Murphy). Wayne finally agreed that’s where we can take our next family vacation! Sort of [...]

While I was watching Cartoon Network’s “The Othersiders“ investigation of the Queen Mary, I found myself thinking, “Perhaps these kids aren’t too young to hunt ghosts after all.”
With that said, I guess it’s a good time to admit that I shared the sentiments fellow blogger AutumnForest expressed in one of her posts about “The Othersiders.” [...]

Today I finally had some time to skim the posts on the Yahoo! Groups I belong to and ended up stumbling across Haunt Jaunts galore! (I didn’t have much time to lurk around these groups before, but I do now that I’m done with radiation. After what I came across today, I’m stoked because what [...]

Recently one of my Google Alerts included a press release that caught my eye for three reasons: (1) it was about a cruise (something I love to do), (2) it was about a cruise in New England and Canada (places on my Bucket List), and (3) it involved ghosts.
Mark Nesbitt, who’s penned quite a few [...]

Thanks to the Haunted Formula AutumnForest is working on over at Ghost Hunting Theories and Lisa Logan’s Where Would YOU Haunt guest blog, I can’t stop wondering: is there a law to becoming a ghost?
You know, like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction…is there a Law of Lingering? (For lack of something else [...]

The Times of India ran an interesting article recently called “Meet ghosts at a restaurant in Kolkata.” It was about P C Sorcar, a conjurer or magician, who’s planning to open a restaurant with ghosts, goblins and ghouls of every variety.
Don’t worry. The ghosts aren’t real. They’ll be members in his troupe who will wait [...]

Yesterday I saw an email from my good pal, Lisa Logan (who I introduced here last week who’ll be making a guest post), saying she’d given me a friendship blog award or some such on her blog, Writing in My Wildest Dreams.
“Huh?” I thought, confused.
See, I’d had a rather exhausting weekend. I haven’t seen [...]
