When I welcomed soon-to-be Haunt Jaunts guest blogger Shanna Riley, I alluded to another anticipated guest blogger lined up thanks to Twitter. That guest blogger would be Jen Blaney (@JenBlaney).
Much like Shanna, it was also because of a Tweet Jen sent me that I got the idea to extend a guest blogger invite to her. [...]

I don’t care what anyone says. Time waster that Twitter may be for some, it’s been a freaking connection gold mine for me. Haunt Jaunts has two more guest bloggers lined up because of it.
The next one is set up for now under the mysterious/exotic sounding username “skatoolaki.” (Also her Twitter handle, a.k.a. @skatoolaki.)
But her [...]

I want to be BFFs with Beyond Ghosts. These are my kind of people. I’ve been itching to write about them ever since I found out what Beyond Ghosts is really all about.
Which was early last week. I actually knew of them before that, though, via Twitter (@BeyondGhosts). And somewhere along the line I had [...]

A couple weeks back (or possibly even longer than that) I saw a funny Tweet saying something about “swimming, ghost hunting, fried eggs?” (or some such) with a link attached.
All I know is it piqued my interest enough to click the link. I was taken to a blog with a post of a girl who [...]

Today I’m feeling deeply humbled and more optimistic about humanity than I’ve felt in a while. It’s easy to get caught up in the news and the politics (especially bozos I disagree with) and feel alone, outnumbered, and misunderstood.
But I’m a big believer in focusing on the positive. It’s funny when I start to fall [...]

Dang it, dang it, dang it! I was so excited when I stumbled across some info about a 30 Days of Night sequel last week when looking up Kiele Sanchez. (I LOVED her in A Perfect Getaway and wanted to find out what else she’d been in.)
Anyway, I happened to notice one of her upcoming [...]

Okay, normally I wouldn’t go all out on a party for my blog. After all, whoopie. I’ve been at it almost a year now. Big deal. Join the blogging crowd with all those who have accomplished the same thing.
I appreciate that. The thing is, I’m grateful just to be alive. And Haunt Jaunts [...]

I’ve heard of My Funny Valentine, but this year the theme I’m coming across again and again is my Bloody Valentine.
Not that I’m complaining. It’s great for those of us whose hearts beat to a more macabre drum.
Here’s some of the ways I’ve found to tell your Valentine just how bloody much you love them [...]

I yet again have Twitter to thank for bringing to my attention a new-to-me paranormal experience. This time: The ParaFactor (@TheParafactor).
Their Twitter bio was the first thing that piqued my interest: “Live Paranormal Talk Show …with a naughty side.”
Naughty? What kind of naughty are we talking about?
So I clicked their web link and was taken [...]
