Staten Island's most haunted places - ferry sign with ghost

Why did it take years before I talked about Staten Island’s haunted places with Odd & Untold’s Jason Stroming? Over the years (almost 15!), he’s often mentioned Staten Island’s haunted places and suggested places I should check out if (when) I ever visit his New York borough. It seems soContinue Reading

Kelly Ireland, Corine Carey, and Leanne Sallenback in History's Most Haunted

When Haunted Gold Rush premiered last year on Canada’s T+E (basically, the equivalent of Travel Channel), it busted a paranormal glass ceiling. It was the first mainstream ghost-hunting show featuring an all-female cast. This year, Corine Carey, Leanne Sallenback, and Kelly Ireland return with History’s Most Haunted, a new series premieringContinue Reading

Steve DiSchiavi and Cindy Kaza The Dead Files poster

Behold the “new look” for The Dead Files, which Travel Channel released along with the announcement about forthcoming new episodes. That answers questions some had after “Shadows of Death” aired, a.k.a. The Dead Files episode where psychic medium Cindy Kaza officially replaced Amy Allan. Namely, would the show be back,Continue Reading

Map of Pennsylvania with Ghost Rides and Horror Film Trail badges

Does VisitPA have actual physical badges of their trip and trail guides? Or are they for display only on their website? I don’t know.

In 1992, former “poltergeist girl” Christina Boyer murdered her three-year-old daughter Amber. Or did she? That’s what the ABC News Studios three-part docuseries Demons and Saviors examines.

Warner Bros. Discovery merger logo

“If you’re looking for real-life horror, Max’s paranormal catalog has everything you need,” a recent Collider headline promised. They weren’t writing about horror movies, though. Rather, they listed some of the top paranormal reality television shows Max now offers, like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, and more. It’sContinue Reading

Katrina Weidman I Do Play design

“Yeah, it’s definitely like a dark pop with some rock elements in some songs,” Katrina Weidman said when I asked if she’d describe her style of music as “alt rock.” Which I think is fair to say is not how most people would describe Janet Jackson’s music. So why wasContinue Reading

Cinedigm released a big announcement today. They’ve partnered with horror heavyweight Tony DeRosa-Grund, creator of The Conjuring, to develop The Haunted. It’s a new paranormal horror franchise based on verifiable actual events. Which, as far as horror movies go, few have been as successful as The Conjuring, which was also inspiredContinue Reading

Snapshot of video where Nick Groff breaks silence

Nick Groff has always tried to rise above the Zak Bagans/Ghost Adventures controversy. To this day, however, fans still want to know what really happened. Why did he leave? Did Bagans have anything to do with it? Why are Groff’s shows, like Paranormal Lockdown and Death Walker, not on TravelContinue Reading

Destination Fear Canceled

The first thing I did when I heard Destination Fear had been canceled was to check the date. I learned about it today, April 1, a.k.a. April Fool’s Day. Since I’m fond of pulling pranks (as I did again this year with The Hitchhiking Ghosts series), I figured this mightContinue Reading

Screenshot of interview between Courtney Mroch and George Popov

At the start of each Sideworld documentary, George Popov delivers a monologue reminiscent of Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone introduction. It goes like this: “When the line between fact and fiction is enshrouded in mist and shadow, beyond that threshold is a place that can change our perspective on everything weContinue Reading
