1990 Crime Scene tape with ghost

While producing the “Ghosts Who Solved Their Own Murders” episode of the Haunting American True Crimes series, a year popped out at me: 1990. It ended up factoring into two things I referenced. The first was the movie Ghost. In fact, that’s how I begin the episode: “Unfinished business whereContinue Reading

Paranormal investigator Dave Schrader and a team of paranormal experts hold a seance at the Lizzie Borden house

All I could wonder as I finished watching The Curse of Lizzie Borden was, “Is the Lizzie Borden House still haunted?” That wasn’t Dave Schrader, Chris Fleming, Sam Baltrusis, or Luann Joly’s goal.
