Spooky types generally associate October with the scariest day of the year –Halloween. (Or am I just speaking for myself?)

Haunt Jaunts Haunted Mansion Prize pack

Do you love the Haunted Mansion? I do. I’m a Foolish Mortal and proud of it! Speaking of Foolish Mortals, this past summer I was lucky enough to be one them who attended the Haunted Mansion’s 50 Years of Retirement Unliving Event at Disneyland. While I was there, I pickedContinue Reading

Walker Stalker Banner with Daryl

I’d love to go to every para con and horror fest I could. Money and time, of course, does not permit that. One I’d always been curious about was Walker Stalker. I used to be a huge The Walking Dead fan. (I’m still a fan, but the series has gotten aContinue Reading

Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick

I knew about the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft before I wrote about the William Mortensen Witches exhibit, but I hadn’t written about just the museum yet.

Home security camera pointing at a ghost

Ghosts can show up anywhere, anytime, not just during paranormal investigations, right? Yes. Of course. That’s why people go ghost hunting. Someone (or multiple someones) has an experience, shares the tale and boom. A ghost story is born. Others want to investigate and see for themselves if there’s anything toContinue Reading

DIA Greg the Gargoyle

Did you know there’s a talking gargoyle in the Denver International Airport (DIA)? It mysteriously appeared earlier this year and was soon making news. The gargoyle’s name is Greg. Kind of a tame name for a grotesque statue in my opinion but okay. Greg the Gargoyle it is. And hisContinue Reading
