Quebec City stole my heart. What a beautiful, romantic, haunted city! It was the final destination on our Canada/New England cruise and what a way to end the trip. The nice thing was all the time we had in Quebec. This would have been one of those ports I mournedContinue Reading

It occurred to me I’ve never done a Black History Month post before. I try not to distinguish ghosts any differently than I distinguish people. (That is to say, I try to see people for the people they are, not for the color of their skin, their race, religious beliefs,Continue Reading

I love visiting forts so I knew the Halifax Citadel was a must visit when we docked in Halifax last September. I didn’t know much about it except for the blurb that was included in the “What’s Ashore” portion of our ship’s daily In Port newletter. Reconstructed in 1856 asContinue Reading

This past Halloween I saw something I hadn’t seen in Halloween’s past: debates surrounding ghost tours and haunted houses.

I came across this article the other day: “TripAdvisor Scares Up the Top 10 Ghost Tours in the U.S.” I was of course curious to see which ones they ranked in the Top 10. I was also curious to see how it stacked up against a guest blog I onceContinue Reading

I was goofing off with my iPod Touch the other day and somehow stumbled across the Wicked Walks ghost tour apps. I can’t remember which one I found first, but whichever one it was it prompted me to search to see if I could find anymore. I did. Three moreContinue Reading

Do you ever see things that make you think of people you know? Me too! Like last week’s Mothman conception pics, I’m once again attempting to participate in Wordless Wednesday. Sort of. I once again find the need to use a few words to explain myself. But I’m also attemptingContinue Reading
