A question I get asked a lot is, “How can I make money from the paranormal?” It ties for first place with the other question I get asked all the time, which is: “How do I get my own paranormal TV show?” Which, coincidentally, is actually one of the answersContinue Reading
“People go missing during a blood moon.” That line is included twice, once at the beginning and again at the end, of the trailer for the horror movie The Stairs. (Included below.) I couldn’t help but wonder a few things upon hearing it, including “Do people really go missing duringContinue Reading
Can you believe that of all the days on the Weird Holidays & Observances page, National Paranormal Day is one we haven’t really investigated yet? I mean, I have somewhat. I created a page for it once upon a time, but upon re-examination, I found it was lacking. Because asContinue Reading
Would you ever participate in a naked ghost hunt to raise money for the preservation of a haunted location? I figured such an event would flop. (Pun intended.) However, instead, it was a rousing success. As one ghost hunter who bared all put it, “We do it in the darkContinue Reading
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?

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? I’m asking because when my skinwalkers attended Dollywood’s Great Pumpkin LumiNights, a lady screamed at two girls posing inContinue Reading
While producing the “Ghosts Who Solved Their Own Murders” episode of the Haunting American True Crimes series, a year popped out at me: 1990. It ended up factoring into two things I referenced. The first was the movie Ghost. In fact, that’s how I begin the episode: “Unfinished business whereContinue Reading
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
