I finally figured out what my trouble with The Othersiders is. Actually, troubles, as there’s more than one thing that bothers me about the show. TROUBLE 1 The producers are trying to make viewers buy that these kids are experienced investigators. Granted, they are getting experience, but they’re trying to sell themContinue Reading

Last week was the HauntJaunts.net blog overhaul, this week was the making of a HauntJaunts.net promotional video. Why all the fuss? Because I made up my mind that September 1 will be the official launch of HauntJaunts.net. It’s going to be a bit of a push. I have a lot of entriesContinue Reading

  Photo from stock.xchng  > Welcome to HauntJaunts.net’s new blog! Well, it’s not new. It’s still going to have the same Haunt Jaunts content as before, but it’s got a new look and address. WHY THE MOVE? I would have set up using WordPress to start with, but back whenContinue Reading

I’ve been thinking a lot about convincing evidence when it comes to definitive proof that ghosts exist. Sure the TAPS team of Ghost Hunters fame have captured a lot of interesting and thought-provoking evidence, but have they captured actual proof? Have any ghost hunter groups, whether on TV or otherwise?Continue Reading

I’m very excited to share that Flashes in the Dark published my flash “My Nightmare” yesterday. Yep, I’m still away but I hijacked my husband’s computer really quick this morning to make sure my story had been published. Then I figured why not share it here. That way I couldContinue Reading

While I was watching Cartoon Network’s “The Othersiders” investigation of the Queen Mary, I found myself thinking, “Perhaps these kids aren’t too young to hunt ghosts after all.” With that said, I guess it’s a good time to admit that I shared the sentiments fellow blogger AutumnForest expressed in oneContinue Reading
