Morbid Spencer's shirts

Alaina Urquhart, an autopsy technician, and Ash Kelley, a hairstylist, host the popular podcast Morbid, where they dissect true crime, creepy history, and all things spooky. They refer to their listeners as “weirdos” and open each episode with “Hey Weirdos.” Naturally, Spencer’s makes an obvious choice for their Morbid Collection.Continue Reading

Oarfish on beach

Do you ever check out the News section on YouTube? Among today’s top news offerings were reports about the recent find of a rare oarfish. The first headlines were fairly mundane, which is why I ignored the story at first. Inside Edition and NEWS CENTER Maine had nearly identical coverContinue Reading

No Sci-Fi World

“Will Sci-Fi World really open this time?” That’s what I wondered when I wrote about the museum’s announcement that it was finally set to open on May 27, 2024. As I explained in that post, “It’s a valid question since this wouldn’t be the first time they announced an opening date.”Continue Reading

Nevada Monolith Removed

Well, that didn’t last long. No sooner was the Nevada Monolith discovered than it was removed. But unlike when this happened in 2020 with its cousin in Utah, there’s no mystery surrounding who took the one near Gass Peak. Although, the mystery of who took the Utah monolith wasn’t really thatContinue Reading

Nevada monolith

In November 2020, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources discovered a mysterious monolith in the desert during a survey of bighorn sheep. It caused quite a stir. No one knew how it got there or why. And what was it? Speculations ranged from an art installation to a portal toContinue Reading

Screenshot of white buffalo calf and mom

“Birth of Rare White Buffalo in Wyo. Fulfills Lakota Prophecy.” You may have read that People headline (or seen another similar one) recently too. It sparked a “Say what now?” moment that definitely prompted me to click the link. And that’s all it took to tumble down a rabbit hole.Continue Reading

The Haunted Mansion LED Caretaker

“You know your friend supports your Halloween addiction when…” There are many ways to fill in that blank. (I invite you to share how you would in the comments below.) In my case, it’s when my friends make sure to share any cool skeleton finds or anything Haunted Mansion. ThanksContinue Reading

Crystal Lake Peacock poster

When Peacock released artwork for Crystal Lake, a Friday the 13th series, at the start of 2023, I was so excited. Especially after I verified that the Instagram post someone had shared with me about it was legit. In fact, I was actually late hearing about it. The news hadContinue Reading

Monster Inside McKamey Manor Hulu Documentary screenshot

Was Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House meant to serve as a warning or a cleverly disguised promo? That’s among the things I wondered after watching the Hulu documentary about the notorious McKamey Manor last year. A lot of accusations were made against owner Russ McKamey about just howContinue Reading

cruise passengers stranded consequences

Recently, news agencies around the world reported about the cruise passengers “stranded” by their cruise ship during a tour. I put stranded in quotation marks for a couple of reasons. One, from Business Insider to Today.com and ABCNews.com, and even 9News in Australia, every headline contained the three same words:Continue Reading

Devil Comet

With a name like the “Devil Comet,” it’s easy to understand why its rare, “once-in-a-lifetime” appearance might cause alarm. Although, “once-in-a-lifetime” is a little misleading. It depends on when you’re born. There are those who were alive the last time it made an appearance in 1954. Just like today’s youthContinue Reading
