Did Vincent Gaddis start a trend when he designated the area between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami, Florida, as the Bermuda Triangle? It seems so. Loren Coleman followed suit in 1983 when he called the points of Freetown, Rehoboth, and the Rockland/Abington area of Massachusetts the Bridgewater Triangle. The BermudaContinue Reading
The castle in The Traitors has seen dozens of murders during the two seasons of both the U.K. and U.S. versions of the show. (Australia, Canada, and New Zealand also have versions, but in different settings, which we’ll briefly explore in a bit.) Luckily none have been real murders, butContinue Reading
Last October, Spirit Halloween released three very creepy Hitchhiking Ghosts masks, one for each of them. I first learned about the forthcoming Haunted Mansion bar on a post about the masks. (Thanks again, Maria!) The bar’s official title is the Haunted Mansion Parlor, and it—along with Phineas, Ezra, and Gus—willContinue Reading
Bloody Mary and La Llorona are among two of the most popular paranormal folklore legends involving women. But there are also some other frightening female supernatural entities in myths, legends, and horror stories from around the world.

The walls of some historic hotels forever encapsulate echoes of bygone weddings, including ones that never took place.

Whether they were jilted at the alterContinue Reading
“OMG! It’s a Chupacabra!” I thought the first time I saw a fossa. It was during a recent jaunt to the San Francisco Zoo. But then my brain checked itself. No one has ever captured a real Chupacabra, and if a zoo had one, surely that would’ve made the news.Continue Reading
A vampire beauty pageant? By all accounts, that’s what the post of an old black-and-white photo of a man crowning a gothic-looking dark-haired woman portrayed. Back when I was still on what was known as Twitter, someone I followed posted it. He’s since deleted his account, or I’d share itContinue Reading
When Walt Disney released “The Skeleton Dance” in August 1929, people were already in love with Mickey Mouse. Disney’s dancing animated skeletons were the first in a new series called Silly Symphony. But people were not amused when they learned about it. “Why does Walt want to fool around withContinue Reading
Does VisitPA have actual physical badges of their trip and trail guides? Or are they for display only on their website? I don’t know. However, there are two guides (and badges) ghost enthusiasts and horror movie lovers would love: Ghost Rides and the Horror Film Trail, a.k.a. Trail of theContinue Reading
In 2019, Disneyland hosted a “50 spirited years of retirement unliving” event to celebrate the Haunted Mansion’s 50th birthday. You needed a special ticket for the after-hours event, but they also set up a Happy Haunts Materialize exhibit, which was open to any park visitor. Will the release of theContinue Reading
Happy almost Halfway-to-Halloween, fellow Foolish Mortals! Looks like we have a treat coming our way this month with the release of The Hitchhiking Ghosts series. But in a crazy twist, it will be on Netflix instead of Disney+. What? Why? How? Let’s first take a peek at what the 13-episodeContinue Reading
