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. These are not ghost tours. Instead, they focus on “the interesting and hidden history of Williamsburg’sContinue Reading
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

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
