2013 may be the year of guest blogs here on Haunt Jaunts. At least it’s shaping up that way to start out the year. The other day I wrote about how we can look forward to a guest blog from author Kathryn Hohmann. We’ll also be welcoming a Twitter friendContinue Reading

A long time ago my friend Jade Walker sent me a link (that I unfortunately no longer have) asking if Haunt Jaunts is dark tourism. I think the link was to the Institute for Dark Tourism Research, but for some reason I didn’t save it so I’m not positive aboutContinue Reading

Last December, during our trip to Turkey, one of the sites we saw was the House of the Virgin Mary. I’m not a Christian. Partly because I have a hard time believing in the Immaculate Conception. I was pretty ambivalent about whether we saw the Virgin Mary’s house or not.Continue Reading

I was going through my photos the other night and realized something very bad. I have not written about a lot of my jaunts over the past couple of years. I may mention them on the Facebook page or share an occasional pic here or there, but wow have IContinue Reading

This Halloween season, I’ve come across some spooky stays, haunted attractions, and macabre museums both by accident and via people sharing with me. I decided to make a list of them, since there are a bunch I wanted to keep track of. A post is a great way. Can alwaysContinue Reading

My friend Gene shared a haunted house experience that terrifies me just thinking about it: Blackout. I had never heard of it before Gene clued me in. (Not surprising, given that I’m a haunted house weenie.) He sent me a link to an article about someone who went through it.Continue Reading

I was quite intrigued by the Skellie Man of Fisherman’s Wharf. We see a lot of street performers when we travel. I thought this was a super innovative costume. Also, I liked the macabre-ness of it. I also liked that it gave me something to film…and then later experiment withContinue Reading

It’s my pleasure to present you with “Laughing Sal,” a Haunt Jaunts original Movie Monday production. It’s been a while since I’ve made a movie. I have lots of footage from past jaunts in my Movies to Be Made queue. However, I’ve been lazy about making any because I knowContinue Reading

Yesterday my friend Jade Walker educated me about a serial killer named Dorothea Puente –which led me to learning her house may be haunted. It all started because of a picture I posted first on HJ’s Facebook page, then on Twitter. Here’s the photo: Here was the Tweet I sentContinue Reading
