Lit and Phil Inside

Summer Hauntings was among the events I highlighted in June’s Paracons, Ghost Tours and Ghost Huntings events.

I’m late getting the highlights for June’s Paracons & Horror Fests and Ghost Hunting Tours & Events out this month. Again. Story of my life. Apologies. Although I don’t know how many people really pay attention to them anyway, so it really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things IContinue Reading

As you may or may not know, one of May’s Weird Holidays & Observances is May 4th, Stars Wars Day. (And in case you’re like my husband and don’t get it: May Fourth…May the Force…a bit of a play on words. Sound it out. It took me a while toContinue Reading

April isn’t as busy as February was with the Valentine’s Day haunted houses, or as March with the St. Patrick’s Day haunted houses (which there were a lot more of this year). However, April still holds it’s own with, what else? Spring Break and Easter-themed haunted houses. Here’s some seasonalContinue Reading

Are you a Bigfoot fan? April is one of the months you’ll find a bunch of Bigfoot cons — five in fact. And April 13 is the most popular day for them. In fact, April 13 is the most popular day no matter what kind of spooky event, be itContinue Reading

Since I started keeping track of ghost events again on the Ghost Tour & Ghost Hunting Events page, I thought it might be nice to share them in their own post each month. Make them stand out a little more. Even though I’ve tried to make it easy to findContinue Reading
