My Google alerts notified me about a great story today on Baxterking.com: “Get Yourself A Bottle of Wine Containing a ‘Real’ Ghost.” It was about a company selling ghosts in wine bottles, appropriately named Ghost in a Bottle. Oh, the array of “spirits” jokes that immediately popped into my mind…Continue Reading
Today I came across a story on TheUnion.com called “Explore hauntings in the county” which told about the Haunted Grass Valley Historical Walking tour in Grass Valley, California. It caught my eye because the ghosts featured on the tour sounded a little edgier than those on most ghost tours. WhyContinue Reading
Earlier today I wrote about using Haunt Jaunts to teach based in part on a headline one of my Google alerts popped up with: “Tracking Ghosts in the Valley: Ashby Lee Students Use GPS for New Learning Program” by Aimee Cregger. Well, I finally got around to reading the wholeContinue Reading
My husband and I don’t have kids, but I got to thinking today how, if we did, what a great teaching tool Haunt Jaunts would make. Check out the various lessons that could be taught: HISTORY LESSONS Some kids find history dull. Others love it. I was one ofContinue Reading
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

I never considered camp grounds as potential Haunt Jaunts until I stumbled across an About.com: Paranormal Phenomenon post called “Camping Encounters with Monsters and Ghosts” by Stephen Wagner. The only thing I normally think about when it comes to camping and ghosts is telling ghost stories around the camp fire.Continue Reading
This afternoon my husband, Wayne, and I made an unexpected Haunt Jaunt to the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna, TN. It’s not far from the hospital where I’m getting my radiation treatments, which Wayne accompanied me to today because he unexpectedly got the day off. Anyway, I figured if nothingContinue Reading
Today I stumbled across a pretty good article on Digg called “Someone Grab Scooby–Doo: The World’s Most Haunted Landmarks.” What I liked most about the article: the pics and details of the ghosts supposedly haunting each haunted landmark. 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
