Three creepy Antique porcelain dolls

You know that saying, “Ask and you shall receive?” It’s worked yet again. After visiting Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in December 2019, I had one question: Is there, or is there not, a doll on the Demon House stairs? Well, someone finally responded. Not from the museum. A fellow restless spiritContinue Reading

Exterior of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

Are you a cinephile? I believe I am. If I’m not out and about jaunting around, it’s a safe bet you’ll find me watching a movie somewhere. (Preferably horror or thriller, however, I don’t discriminate based on genre. If it sounds interesting, I’ll give almost anything a gander.) I loveContinue Reading

Ancient Lore Village

A couple of years ago I wrote about an upcoming new resort experience: the Ancient Lore Village. Except, at that time the land they hoped to develop “the world’s first story resort” on fell through. The sketches and concepts they had at that time looked really neat though. They didContinue Reading
