I didn’t include this with yesterday’s Haunts with Heart listing because it was getting a little long, and I felt this one had enough to warrant it’s own post. Thanks goes to Connie Nelson, the Communications/Public Relations Director for Wilmington/Cape Fear Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, who was nice enoughContinue Reading

I got to thinking about “Haunts with Heart” last month. First, I wrote about Scare for a Cure, a haunted house in Austin, Texas that “raises money for local cancer charities one scream at a time.” Then Best Haunted Attraction left a comment on my post about haunted house seasonContinue Reading

Yes. It’s actually a little late to ask.  Caper Company’s first Haunt Spots ghost tour already does just that, if you opt to go after dark.  It includes a haunted trail to explore.  People who go at night report that it can be mighty scary if there are only twoContinue Reading

One of the girls I play volleyball with is throwing a Halloween bash and invited Wayne and I. GREAT! I love parties, I love Halloween, and put them both together? That’s my kind of party! But to actually go to a party also gives me the excuse to buy aContinue Reading

Okay, folks, we got ourselves two more prizes for the Halloween giveaway (which I now think I’m going to call the fiberdoodles-Inspired Halloween Blog Party Giveaway Extravaganza…I just like that word “extravaganza.” Gotta keep that in there!). At any rate, the prizes are: a hard cover copy of Joe Hill’sContinue Reading

I decided to even get my blog in the Halloween spirit by going with a new season-appropriate theme. It was a tough choice, let me tell you. There are a lot of nice designs out there! But ultimately I went with this one because I liked the feel best. IContinue Reading

Hey Fellow Explorers and Intrepid Souls! I’ve heard you loud and clear. The list of people emailing me with “Yes! I soooo want to take a tour” is growing longer and longer. Well, my lovelies, it’s gettin’ chilly outside. Let’s make sure you get your tour before there’s snow onContinue Reading

Ever since the Destination Truth “Island of the Dolls” episode (click here to read a great recap about the show from Above the Norm) I’m noticing creepy dolls. For instance, Autumnforest of Ghost Hunting Theories is incorporating all sorts of dolls into the decorations for her Halloween party. (Click hereContinue Reading

I am super excited to announce that I will be adding two extra prizes to my Halloween Gift Card Extravaganza Giveaway courtesy of PublishingWorks: Haunted Cemeteries of New England and Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire.
