Side by side collage of the facades of the Alaskan Hotel and the Historic Anchorage Hotel

Personally, I don’t think Juneau’s Alaskan Hotel is more haunted than the Historic Anchorage Hotel. However, I see why it’s showing up on Travel Channel shows like Portals to Hell and The Alaska Triangle. Some of the paranormal activity reported there is pretty dark and frightening.

Magnolia Hotel before and after

Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Caught on Camera, Ghost Brothers…these are just a few of the paranormal shows the Magnolia Hotel in Seguin, Texas, has been featured on.

November 19 is World Toilet Day. It’s not one of the days the Skeleton Crew and I track on our Weird Holidays & Observances page. So how did it come to my attention? It showed up on my iPhone’s calendar of all places. I’m not sure how it got there.Continue Reading

This is a guest post by author Pamela K. Kinney, whose newest book is Haunted Richmond II. She submitted it a while ago, and there was supposed to be pictures, but my email system kept screwing up and not allowing me to retrieve them. I decided to just go aheadContinue Reading

I am very pleased to share this guest post about Haunted Sante Fe’s La Posada Hotel from Lane and Juliet at Southwest Compass. I hope you enjoy reading about their jaunt in search of the ghost of Julia Staab as much as I did! Walking through Santa Fe’s La PosadaContinue Reading

It was a tough decision picking which haunted hotel we wanted to stay at when we visited New Orleans, but I ultimately decided on the Hotel Monteleone. It was at the top of our budget, but you know what? Sometimes it’s worth it to splurge. In this case it wasContinue Reading
