One of the ports on our British Isles cruise a couple years back was Greenock, Scotland. We’d done our research and knew that a quick train ride would take us to Glasgow. Before we’d left home, I’d bought City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Tour tickets for us from our affiliate,Continue Reading

Regular walking ghost tours marry the two (exercise plus haunt jaunting), but earlier this year a unique tour in Utah came to my attention: Pedal Provo GhostContinue Reading

Several weeks ago, Nicki Spiers of Colonial Ghosts, graciously took some time to talk with me about her popular Colonial Williamsburg ghost tour company and the exciting new tour they’ve recently added: cemetery tours.

The second stop on our British Isles cruise will take us to Cork, located in the southwest of Ireland. All I knew about Cork was what showed up in parenthesis on our cruise ship itinerary. (ie. “Cork, Ireland (cobh – For Blarney Castle”) The Blarney Castle was familiar due toContinue Reading

The first stop on our British Isles cruise will take us to St. Peter Port, our gateway to Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. Here’s what I knew about the Channel Islands before I started researching them for our trip: it had been the only British territory occupied by theContinue Reading

We’ve been very busy around here updating pages. It started with the addition of the new Macabre and Unusual Tours page. It was while we were seeing what new tours our affiliates were offering that we discovered some didn’t qualify as strictly your traditional ghost tour. Like the Plymouth HistoricContinue Reading

We’re excited to announce the addition of a new page under the Ghost Tours, Walks & Hunts section: Macabre and Unusual Tours. This isn’t to be confused with our Haunted Places section. That’s where we compile sites that list haunted places, as well as track certain haunted places ourselves, likeContinue Reading
