In Changes to HJ Part 1, I explained that we’re in the process of changing a few things around here. In Part 1 I focused on how we added a Writers Wanted section and are currently “hiring.” (Have to use that word loosely since the pay is so minimal.) NowContinue Reading

Officials for the West Virginia Division of Tourism are taking applications for a new Haunted West Virginia Trail they want to offer tourists. From their site: The Mountain State has its share of ghosts, spirits and supernatural stories.  Reported ghosts of civil war soldiers, tragic deaths and murder victims seekingContinue Reading

Follow my blog with Bloglovin A couple months back, Kelly Rapone, Genese County’s Tourism Marketing Director, reached out about some updates on the Haunted History Trail site. A couple years ago I wrote about the Haunted History Trail of New York State‘s site after she’d reached out about it too.Continue Reading

Is the Bradford Exchange going to release a collection of most haunted places? I did a double take when I read a post about that. Then I doubled checked the dates. Did April Fool’s Day come early? Nope. It’s still March, and this is no joke. The post was “GoContinue Reading

When we first created our Haunted Places section (which has been several years back now), we had big plans for it. Trouble was, our initial vision also entailed big work…that we never got around to. Until now… With a few tweaks, of course. What we first foresaw has now evolvedContinue Reading

Happy Mardi Gras! Laissez les bon temps rouler! I thought it’d be fun to explore the most haunted Fat Tuesday/Carnival cities that I could find. Dare to join me? Let’s indulge… New Orleans, Louisiana I think it’s safe to say that the first place that probably pops to most people’sContinue Reading

Received a super cool interactive “storymap” from The Killarney Hotel Group, in Co. Kerry, Ireland for the Most Haunted Places in Ireland. I’m embedding it below too, but it can also permanently be found on its own page under the Haunted Places section. Here’s an example of the type ofContinue Reading

Sadly I’m delinquent in writing up this post. The publicity team for Phantosmia contacted me last month about their kickoff event, which took place this past Saturday, October 3, 2015. I failed to write it up before now because I put everything on hold to fix the problems over atContinue Reading

While researching things to do while we’re in Belfast, I discovered the Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges. Sounds like the name of a book or movie, doesn’t it? Nope. Just the names of places you can visit in Northern Ireland. And of course with names involving giants and darkContinue Reading

When we went to Istanbul I was hopeful we’d get to jaunt to Gallipoli, site of a World War I battlefield. I’d never visited a WWI battlefield before. I thought that might be a pretty powerful experience. Sadly, it was a bit of a commitment and we opted to hitContinue Reading

I don’t know why, but Dublin evokes quintessential Irish city life in my mind. Whatever that means, since I’ve never been to Ireland before and “city life” isn’t what most people associate with Ireland anyway. (Red-haired, hot-tempered, whiskey and Guinness drinkers with stories about Leprechauns who meet in the pubContinue Reading

I know some travelers are not fans of HOHOs (Hop-on Hop-off tours). I used to be one of them…until our jaunt to New York a few years back for our Canada/New England cruise. I was suffering from a pretty bad case of plantar fasciitis. (Side effect of my tennis addiction.)Continue Reading
