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 membersContinue Reading

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 aContinue Reading

Photo courtesy Stock Xchg Do we get to choose our Haunt Jaunts if we linger here in the afterlife? Or does the Haunt Jaunt choose us? I’ve had a fair share of ghostly experiences (like this one), and from what I’ve heard and seen, ghostly haunt spots usually make sense.Continue Reading

Just a heads up that author Lisa Logan is going to be making an appearance as a guest blogger on Haunt Jaunts. While I’d love to take the credit for this idea, I can’t. It was entirely her idea. She suggested it after reading one of the posts. She wasContinue Reading

I found this clip of an alleged ghost in a museum on YouTube thanks to a Google alert about an alleged ghost caught on a CCTV in an office building in South Carolina. (I went to YouTube to try and find it, but of course got distracted and found thisContinue Reading

In my very first blog I explained the reaction I’d had the very first time we drove by the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine: Here there be ghosts… Well, if you watched Ghost Adventures on Friday, you saw they investigated the fort. And they did find paranormal activity.Continue Reading

I don’t know if ghosts exist or not. I’ve had some weird encounters (for instance, the Shilo Inn and Harry’s), but I didn’t have any kind of recording devices on me to capture any evidence. (And at that time I didn’t know about EVPs and such so even if IContinue Reading

I love ghost caught on tape or CCTV videos from YouTube. I love trying to figure out if they’re real, tampered with, shadows, reflections…you know. The standard kind of thing most people wonder about when viewing alleged footage of “real” ghosts. The thing that lends some credibility to CCTV camerasContinue Reading

I found a story about haunted golf courses when I was slogging through my backlog of Google alerts today and stumbled upon a posting by Stephen Wagner at About.com: Paranormal Phenomena called “The Latest Paranormal News.” Wagner was listing ghost-related or otherwise odd stories he’d found, among them one entitledContinue Reading

Okay, this is more of a “virtual Jaunt” rather than the kind of Haunt Jaunt I prefer to write about, but how could I pass up commenting about haunted dolls? It all started last Friday when my Google alert included a link to this eye-catching title: “Yet Another ‘Haunted Doll’Continue Reading
