I’m not exactly sure what Curious Events Day is. Who created it? What curious events does the day pay tribute to? What are the greatest curious events that have ever happened? How would you even classify such a thing? Could you? I don’t know. All I know for certain isContinue Reading
Were you anxiously awaiting the news of the Hollywood Horror Museum’s grand opening? I was. The closer we’ve drawn to October, the more I kept expecting to see buzz about it. Like all the buzz I’ve been seeing for Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum. Is It Open Yet? I had itContinue Reading
Skellie and I are heading to Lexington, Kentucky for the ScareFest, September 28, 2017 – October 1, 2017. I decided it might be a fun way to get some publicity for the site and the radio show. So I got us a booth (Booth 112 if you happen be going),Continue Reading
Originating in lore from ancient Scottish lowlands, Fey Folk are said to reign from one of two kingdoms, the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. And while Seelie and Unseelie are both used to describe the reigning kingdoms, the words are also often used to describe faeries themselves based onContinue Reading
I’m sure many, like me, were absolutely entranced by the idea of a solar eclipse that crossed the entirety of the United States, something that hasn’t been seen for years, and won’t be seen again for many more. With eclipse glasses, t-shirts, and other swag-related marketing campaign tactics up thereContinue Reading

However, if you’d like your getaway to include mingling with like-minded folks and attending presentations by notable guest speakers in the paranormalContinue Reading
In my previous installment of Witchy Wednesday about Baba Yaga, I talked about how surprised I was in realizing she’s featured in a number of different animated films of my youth, including a few by Studio Ghibli. This got me thinking about all of the other witches I’ve come toContinue Reading
This is a guest contribution from H. Davis. In 1991, a commercial aired for a psychic board game that gave kids the ability to ask questions about their future: the Ouija Board Game. At the time, the board wasn’t highly known as the game that lets you talks to spirits.Continue Reading
While most witch tropes revolve around broomsticks, pointed hats, and black cats, the main witch in Slavic lore, Baba Yaga, doesn’t participate in any of these. While she does maintain the traditional physical appearance of a witch — long, spindly white hair, haggard appearance, skinny-to-the-bone arms and legs — ratherContinue Reading
In August 1969, America was shocked by one of the most disturbing and bizarre string of murders it had ever seen. Our news today might call what happened back then a “deadly home invasion.” For starters. Not sure what other sensational wordsmithery some clever journalist might concoct to describe it.Continue Reading
