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 inContinue Reading
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 meContinue Reading

What I didn’t like about the article: I was surprised some placesContinue Reading
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 theContinue Reading

I was talking to a friend the other day about HauntJaunts.net and he said, “Ghosts can follow you home. You don’t want to be messing with seeking them out, Courtney. That’s bad stuff.” That’s a concept I’ve seen addressed on some of the TV shows that deal with ghosts andContinue Reading
