Museum of the Weird banner

I don’t know if the Museum of the Weird also serves double duty as headquarters for the Keep Austin Weird movement, but it totally could. (And, yes, there is such a thing. Just check out #keepaustinweird on Insta. It’s very popular.) All I know is that when we jaunted toContinue Reading

Beheaded Medusa

Several years ago we took a jaunt to Istanbul. One of the places we visited was the Basilica Cistern. Something I’d forgotten we’d done was to search for the Medusa heads that we heard were down there. (Yes. Plural. Heads.) I was reminded of that adventure, though, when a viewerContinue Reading

The Queen Anne Hotel is perhaps San Francisco’s most popular haunted hotel.

Randonauting is becoming quite the craze, isn’t it? Maybe not as big as Pokémon Go (yet), but it’s a similar interactive experience that gets you up and out of your house. If you’re not yet familiar with this new form of exploring or are on the fence about it, maybeContinue Reading

Cellblock in Eastern State Penitentiary

When I wrote about how there’d be no Terror Behind the Walls this year, I stumbled across an online Eastern State tour. Well, two of them. Sort of. In addition to their interactive Now map, they’ve also included a link to a past tour. Both offer 360-degree views, but eachContinue Reading
