If you’ve never cruised before, one of the things you’ll discover waiting for you each night in your room are towel animals. Your stateroom steward takes any towels you’ve used during the day to create them. Sometimes we don’t always know what they’re supposed to be. (Depends on how seasonedContinue Reading

This week I decided to do something a bit different and participate in Budget Travelers Sandbox‘s Travel Photo Thursday. I’ve long wanted to share some photos I took of the fun sea creatures I encountered while strolling along Rafael E. Melgar, a.k.a. Cozumel’s tourist area main street. This seems likeContinue Reading

The other night I had the shock of my life. It was just after 10 p.m. I was trying to clean up a bit and get things in order for the next day before I headed to bed. I walked into the office to put some papers on my deskContinue Reading

After exploring Ensenada’s tourist section, we decided to take a little waterfront path back to our boat. Almost immediately I spied something intriguing. It was a towering thing that most definitely appeared to be made up at least partially of bones. As we approached, I fired up my camera andContinue Reading

What a year it’s been! As 2011 draws to a close, the travel tally stands at: Four countries: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Turkey Two continents: Europe and Asia (Three if you count flying over Greenland, which I’m inclined to do because (a) the pilot flew low enough for us toContinue Reading

It was overcast as we pulled into Ensenada the Wednesday morning of our visit. I was up early, hoping to catch the sunrise as well as our arrival. I always like when I can see the docking process. It’s the same, yet also different, in every port. I think it’sContinue Reading

I decided to resurrect a past post from the archives. Reapers, Creepers and Shadow People: A Theory Inspired by Ghost Adventures at Waverly Hills was originally published on October 13, 2010. It’s one of my favorites theories. I modified it only slightly to rerun here. In case you missed it theContinue Reading

A while back I saw a post on Phantoms & Monsters about a chupacabra-like creature attacking Siberian livestock. It made me do a forehead slap. “Doh! What was I thinking only looking for haunted Mayan ruins when we were in Mexico?  We could’ve been in prime Chupacabra territory!” I looked forContinue Reading

If you follow this blog, you know how much I love cruising. A reader, who also happens to be a cruise consultant, asked if I’d be interested in doing a paranormal seminar at sea. As in helping coordinate one. Are you kidding? Dream come true! How do I sign up?!Continue Reading

I haven’t done a Movie Monday post in a while, but I finally had a chance to watch the History Channel’s Bigfoot: The Definitive Guide so I have something to write about. The show’s premise was as follows: A team of top scientists come together with one goal: to createContinue Reading

You know when you see an alleged Bigfoot or other monster video and it’s all wonky? By wonky I mean out of focus, not zoomed in, shaky, or otherwise very raw and full of flaws? Every time I see a video claiming to have caught a Bigfoot, an alien, orContinue Reading

I really hope it was New York Shadow Chasers who told me about Bigfoot having a Facebook page, because that’s who I’m blaming for this post. They told me about that Facebook page, as well as Chupacabra’s Facebook page. Well of course that piqued my interest. What other paranormal phenomsContinue Reading
