Creepy old Halloween house

Every year around this time, publications start releasing their picks for the most haunted of…well, everything, from cities to hotels. While “most haunted lists” are fun to look at —because, let’s face it, we’re hard-wired to rank things these days (thanks, Google)— they have a problem. They’re not actually whatContinue Reading

The House in Between Part 2 poster

The House in Between aimed to “bring science, the paranormal, and the human experience together.” The documentary represented “the results of the first 10-year-long continuous study of a house that is haunted ever conducted.” That’s also at the heart of The House in Between Part 2. It again proves that “theContinue Reading

Haunted Mansion plaque at Disneyland

Edited March 4, 2023 to reflect updated release date. Disney picked the perfect time of the year (halfway to Halloween!) to reveal some details about the new Haunted Mansion movie. Will it be live-action or animated? Will it be a remake of the 2003 movie or does it have aContinue Reading

ghosts of southern ladies outside an old possibly antebellum home

We all know the answer to the question, “Who ya gonna call?” But what about ghosts? Who do they call when they’re troubled by strange noises in the night or when they experience feelings of dread in their basement or attic? What do restless spirits do with all the peopleContinue Reading

Ghosts on CBS

  Updated: December 16, 2022 I’m not sure if CBS expected to have a hit on its hands with its new supernatural comedy, Ghosts, but they do. The series is a rare gem that appeals to both critics and viewers alike. For example, on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s got an averageContinue Reading

Louvre doll

Updated March 9, 2023 The trailer for The Night House was exceptional. Its job worked immediately, making me wonder where the house was located and what was up with the creepy-looking doll, which I’ve since learned is called a Louvre doll. Sadly, the movie wasn’t the blow-my-mind haunted house filmContinue Reading

Westfield Watcher House Realtor.com

How could I not talk about the case of the Westfield Watcher during the “Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses” episode? (See season 2, Haunting American True Crimes, on the podcast.) Very few hauntings of the spectral variety are as creepy as that story. Which this one isn’t. It’s more likeContinue Reading

The Bell Mansion Google Screen grab

There’s about to be a new haunted destination on the block. The Bell Mansion in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is transforming into an event center for everything from weddings and meetings to yoga classes and paranormal investigations.

The White House in Washington D.C. with red sky background

First off, I have to give a shout-out to author Priscilla Bettis. She often inspires me to write about things after she leaves astute or informative comments. This time it was when she mentioned Andrew Pyper’s The Residence on the post announcing the release date for the Demon in theContinue Reading

Harridan Vodka Paranormal Reserve

Ageing spirits of the alcoholic variety in haunted places? What might that do them? “Them” being the alcohol but maybe it has some effect on the restless spirits too? These are but two of the many questions I have about Harridan Vodka’s Paranormal Reserve. According to ComicBook, before Harridan’s ParanormalContinue Reading
