Are you a fan of twin brothers Philip Adrian Booth and Christopher Saint Booth, a.k.a.  the Booth Brothers? (Not to be confused with the Christian music group who’s also known as the Booth Brothers. The Booth Brothers I’m asking about are heavily into the paranormal.) Or are you not quiteContinue Reading

This is a guest contribution by Crystal Smith-Connelly about her recent jaunt to ScareLA. We’re excited she’s sharing this with us since we couldn’t make it out there.

In August 1969, America was shocked by one of the most disturbing and bizarre string of murders it had ever seen. Our news today might call what happened back then a “deadly home invasion.” For starters. Not sure what other sensational wordsmithery some clever journalist might concoct to describe it.Continue Reading

The solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 is being dubbed the Great American Eclipse. (Naturally. Everything has to have a snazzy catch-phrase these days, right?) However, to be fair, this is a pretty significant astronomical event for the United States. It deserves some hoopla. Are you ready for it? OrContinue Reading

Last week I learned that crocodile diving is a thing. It’s all thanks to a fellow ParaMania Radio pal, Jay Lynch, who hosts the Sit, Chat & Laugh with the Lynch’s with his wife, Teresa, on Mondays from 7-9 EDT. Jay shared a link on his timeline that included thisContinue Reading

Today we’re going to be talking about something a little different: Urban Exploration. Also known as Urbex, it’s the hobby of entering old abandoned buildings or similar locations, and just exploring the heck out of them. Snooping in and out of rooms, going through objects left behind, exposing yourself toContinue Reading

My posts about HAuNTcon’s Haunts and Haunted Places Bus Tour and their Costume Ball and Haunted Houses were the result of Leonard Pickel, HAuNTcon’s owner and event coordinator, asking if I’d be attending. (Since it is happening right in my own backyard this year. And, yes, I’m going.) But hisContinue Reading

I wrote about HAuNTcon 2017’s 2-Day Inspiration Pre-Show Tour, but that’s not the only cool thing that has me excited about attending my very first HAuNTcon event. There is a lot happening during this five-day convention. But the activities aren’t limited to just the day. There’s plenty of fun toContinue Reading
