We all know the answer to the question, “Who ya gonna call?” But what about ghosts? Who do they call when they’re troubled by strange noises in the night or when they experience feelings of dread in their basement or attic? What do restless spirits do with all the peopleContinue Reading
Would you be willing to bet that odds are high you’ll witness paranormal activity in states famous for their haunting histories, such as Louisiana or Massachusetts? Before placing any wagers, you might want to check out a new supernatural study. It comes from an unlikely source and reveals some surprisingContinue Reading
One of the dates on the Weird Holidays & Observances page that has always intrigued me but that I’ve never investigated is Alfred Hitchcock Day. It’s celebrated annually on March 12. Although, maybe “celebrated” is too grandiose a description? I’m not sure how many people even know Alfred Hitchcock DayContinue Reading
Before creating the “Get Swept Off Your Feet at These Bigfoot Museums” episode for the Macabre Museums season of the podcast, I might’ve told you Loren Coleman’s International Cryptozoology Museum was the first of its kind. I would have misled you. We’ll explore his museum more in the “Monsters &Continue Reading
How could I not talk about the case of the Westfield Watcher during the “Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses” episode? (See season 2, Haunting American True Crimes, on the podcast.) Very few hauntings of the spectral variety are as creepy as that story. Which this one isn’t. It’s more likeContinue Reading
Open coffins as part of Halloween displays are basically photo op invitations, aren’t they? But is it bad luck to pose in a coffin, even if it isn’t a real one?

In a previous post, I examined whether or not one of the houses in American Horror Story: Double Feature was really haunted. At the end of it, I teased about how the new season of AHS has a haunting cold case connection with an iconic horror movie. I promised toContinue Reading
June 13, 1977. It wasn’t a Friday (it was early on a Monday morning) when the gruesome discovery at Camp Scott in Oklahoma was made. An unthinkable discovery really. One of the saddest I’ve learned about in a long time, which I did thanks to a comment author Priscilla BettisContinue Reading
Did you know the first week of August is International Clown Week and the first Saturday of International Clown Week is National Clown Day? And in case you’re wondering… Yep. Those dates came from the Weird Holidays & Observances page, which never fails to inspire post ideas. In this case,Continue Reading
With Shark Week upon us, I realized we’ve taken a look at crocodile diving before, but never shark diving. Are there tours for that? If so, where? (Besides, obviously, somewhere near an ocean.) So I did some research and located five of the best places to find and take sharkContinue Reading
One of the most fascinating books I ever read was Michael Capuzzo’s Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916. I didn’t pick the most ideal time to read it, though. It was while we were on vacation in St. Lucia in the early 2000s. I was engrossed inContinue Reading
