I’m pretty positive nothing lurks behind the walls of St. Augustine’s Lightner Museum, however…for a split second during our most recent visit I had my suspicions. The Lightner Museum is one of my favorite haunts. On my first visit there in 1999, I felt certain it was a placeContinue Reading

When I shared the link about the reader seeking advice on trip planning to haunted New Orleans on HJ’s Facebook page, I got a great comment from a Jaunter named Alyne. She lives in New Orleans and had some fantastic insights to share about enjoying the paranormal tourism there. SheContinue Reading

I love when people email questions seeking advice on planning their trips to haunted places. Here’s an email I recently received from someone planning a trip to haunted New Orleans: My name is Kaylie, and my best friend and I plan on taking a haunted trip to New Orleans duringContinue Reading

Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I attended a wedding in downtown Nashville. We took I-65 to get there. You know those signs they have over highways these days? The ones that tell you travel times to certain exits or warn of accidents or delays up ahead? I guessContinue Reading

Do you take tours when you travel? Inevitably, it seems we sign up for at least one almost every vacation. Particularly when we’re cruising. We didn’t used to, though. Our first tour was on our Alaskan cruise, and we didn’t sign up until we were already on the boat andContinue Reading

I play tennis with a girl who cringes when I tell her about my vacations. They’re too busy and strenuous for her. Her idea of getting away is planting her bum on a beach under the sun with drink service. That’s like maybe a half day kind of activity forContinue Reading

Mysterious Phantom Mens Adult Costume This past Friday May 25, 2012 the musical Phantom of the Opera celebrated it’s 25th anniversary. It might be a pretty obscure anniversary to some (okay, most), but it was something I wanted to write about. But how to tie it in to a travelContinue Reading

A few weeks back, either Bio or the History Channel (I forget which now) reran Haunted History: Caribbean. I DVRed it because I was curious if they would mention any haunts on Nassau, one of the ports of call on the Haunt Jaunts Halloween in the Bermuda Triangle Cruise. Nope. IContinue Reading

My restless spirit never feels more at peace than when my jaunts take me outdoors. Maybe because growing up my family was only inside when we had to be. If we could get out and experience nature, we did. If we couldn’t get away for the weekend or a dayContinue Reading

This is a guest blog by Pamela K. Kinney. I asked if she’d want to write a sort of In Memoriam post after she posted a link to an article about how Professor Cline’s Haunted Monster Museum burnt down. I knew the place meant a lot to Pamela. Not onlyContinue Reading

Halifax, Nova Scotia was one of our ports when we took our Canada/New England cruise. I was stoked because I had Nova Scotia on my bucket list. (This was before I understood Nova Scotia was one of Canada’s provinces, not a city. That’s one thing our jaunts to Canada haveContinue Reading

If you’ve never cruised before, one of the things you’ll discover waiting for you each night in your room are towel animals. Your stateroom steward takes any towels you’ve used during the day to create them. Sometimes we don’t always know what they’re supposed to be. (Depends on how seasonedContinue Reading
