Recently, I was caught off guard by a CNN Travel article about Mussolini’s World War II bunker opening to the public. Why? I’m not entirely sure, but I think it has to do with Hitler. When I think about the “bad guys” of WWII, I often forget it was plural.Continue Reading
“Crime tourism is on the rise,” one of our local news anchors said during a recent broadcast. “We’ll discuss where it’s happening and why after the break.” That certainly piqued my interest and made me stick around through commercials. I’ve heard about all kinds of different types of tourism, fromContinue Reading
“What the heck is a rat tour?” I wondered as I watched The Drew Barrymore Show playing on a screen while I stood in line waiting to order at McAlister’s recently. “Say what? Is there seriously such a thing?” I didn’t get to see more. The line advanced, and itContinue Reading
You’d think a previous traumatizing Halloween Horror Nights experience would’ve been enough to last me a lifetime. Well, like myself, you’d be wrong. As I’ve admitted before, I’m a bawk, bawk chicken butt when it comes to Halloween-style haunted houses. Venturing to haunted places? No problem. Watching horror movies lateContinue Reading

A story from the Charleston City Paper about Bulldog Tours hosting virtual tours of the Holy City during coronavirus caught my eye over the weekend. Like many other cities across the U.S. (and world), Charleston found itself placed under stay-at-home lockdown orders on March 24, which closed all non-essential businesses.Continue Reading
One of the ports on our British Isles cruise a couple years back was Greenock, Scotland. We’d done our research and knew that a quick train ride would take us to Glasgow. Before we’d left home, I’d bought City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Tour tickets for us from our affiliate,Continue Reading
Do you like HoHos? I don’t mean the snack cake kind. (Which, sweet tooth sufferer that I am, amazingly enough I’ve never had an affinity for.) I’m talking about the touristy kind of HoHos, as in Hop-On, Hop-Off tours. Too Touristy? There are some travelers who find these sorts ofContinue Reading
First published on March 28, 2017. Updated January 30, 2025. Here at Haunt Jaunts we have a fondness for tours. The more macabre, the better. True crime tours certainly fit that bill. That’s why, once upon a time, a tweet from iHorror about a certain tour caught my eye. AContinue Reading
