What interesting things I learned today at tennis from the girls on my team about ghosts right here in my own backyard! They all know about my spooky little blog, but I never really talk about it much with them. I tend to keep my writing stuff to myself unlessContinue Reading

One Sunday when we lived in Jacksonville, Wayne wanted to go exploring. I had been reading my Haunting Sunshine book and had just finished the section on the Herlong Mansion. “Want to go to Micanopy?” I asked. “Where?” I had no idea how to pronounce Micanopy. Maybe I was sayingContinue Reading

Last year I had big plans for Haunt Jaunts in 2011. You know that saying about if you want to make God laugh, make plans? He must have had a rip-roaring belly wiggler over all the plans I laid. I was going to put plans in place for a calendar,Continue Reading

I never expected that I’d be saying I was headed to Turkey, but that is where our latest adventure is leading us. I’m very excited because this will be my first time abroad. Europe has been on my list of places to travel to since I was able to keepContinue Reading

I don’t normally write about people with ghost problems. I prefer the paranormal tourism aspect of ghost hunting and like to write about haunted places people can travel to. However, a travel blogger friend of mine who hails from Florida shared her experience with me. She asked if I knewContinue Reading

Yesterday I read a comment that Dan from the Southern Michigan Paranormals left on the About page. He was wanting to state his side in regards to some comment I had left about a news article on their investigation of the Van Buren Poor House in Lawrence, Michigan. The placeContinue Reading

You’d think the UK or Ireland with their long dark histories wouldContinue Reading

In Part 1 I answered one reader’s question about best south Florida haunted places in the Treasure Coast region between Palm Beach and Vero Beach. Another reader had the same question about Florida, except Jim wanted to know about best haunted places in the Tampa and Cocoa Beach areas. That’s whatContinue Reading

Shortly after the World Trade Center fell, I remember hearing people say they went to the site. As in they specifically took vacations to New York to see Ground Zero. I found that disturbing. I admit, yes, I am all about the dark tourism. Heaven knows I have traveled 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
