Today I finally had some time to skim the posts on the Yahoo! Groups I belong to and ended up stumbling across Haunt Jaunts galore! (I didn’t have much time to lurk around these groups before, but I do now that I’m done with radiation. After what I came across today, I’m stoked because what a great additional resource for me to find new Haunt Jaunt activities!)
All except one I found via the Haunted Times Yahoo! Group. (The other was via The Paranormal Research Society group.) I listed them by event date.
1. LIZZIE BORDEN BED & BREAKFAST WEEKEND RETREAT: JUNE 26-27, 2009
I know this doesn’t give you much heads up since this event starts tomorrow. I don’t even know if there’s space still available. But I thought I’d list it anyway.
It’s a Haunted Times event. On Friday June 26, Christopher Moon will give his Ghost Hunting 101 Seminar, followed by dinner which includes telling of the haunted history of of the B&B plus a tour. Then the night concludes with an investigation. On Saturday June 27, Moon goes more in-depth with his Ghost Hunting 102 class, and then dinner plus more investigations follow. (And, yes, Moon will be using his Telephone to the Dead during the investigations.)
Cost: $150 plus tax per person per night (includes class, dinner, investigation, room and breakfast) OR $50 per person per night for investigations only.
Call the Lizzie Borden B&B at 508-675-7333 to register.
2. AUDUBON COTTAGES – DAUPHINE ORLEANS WEEKEND RETREAT: JULY 24-25, 2009
Another Haunted Times event. Same kind of thing as described above, just the location and costs are a bit different.
Cost: $99 plus tax per person per night (includes class, dinner, and investigation…room is extra but discounted rates are available) OR $50 per person per night for investigations only.
Call Haunted Times Magazine at 877-880-6232 to register for the event.
To book a room at the event site, Call Dawn Ledet of the Dauphine Orleans at 504-586-1800.
NOTE: HT says space is limited for this one so if you’re interested book sooner rather than later.
3. VILLISCA AXE MURDER HOUSE – SPIRIT COMMUNICATION 101: AUGUST 7, 2009
Another HT event. This time the focus of the class is on communicating with the dead, followed by a dinner and an investigation. Moon and his HT staff will leave at midnight, but the house will be open for further investigations until 2 a.m.
Cost: $99 per person (class, investigation and dinner only, you have to make your own room reservations)
Call Haunted Times Magazine at 720-344-6150 to make reservations for this event.
4. MASON HOUSE INN BED AND BREAKFAST: AUGUST 8-9, 2009
Yep, another HT event consisting of Ghost Hunting 101 and 102 classes.
Cost: $75 per person per event (Rooms are extra, but if you stay both nights you get $5 off your room the second night.)
Call 1-800-592-3133 to register.
5. FORT MIFFLIN PARA EVENT: SEPTEMBER 5, 2009
This is not an HT event. Rather, it’s put on by Paranormal Association of Research & Assistance (PARA) in association with PARA-X Radio (who will be broadcasting live during the event).
Looks like they have some neat things lined up: presentations at each of the buildings, an EVP lab where you can listen to EVPs captured there, a photography lab teaching spirit photography techniques, and even an auction where one of the prizes will be a private investigation with investigators Shannon and Jeff Sylvia (who will also be there).
Cost: $75
Contact Lorraine Irby at 215.685.4167 to pre-register or visit PARA’s website for more info.
ABOUT THE YAHOO! GROUPS IN THIS POST
If you’re not a member of them but are interested in checking them out and maybe joining yourself, I posted their links below:
TheParanormalResearchSociety
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Wow–great finds! If I were going to only go to one and wanted to go to what I think would give me more haunt for the buck–Ft. Mifflin.
You know, I *almost* referred to you as I was writing that one up because I remembered from other stuff you wrote how much you liked Ft. Mifflin, esp the evidence from Ghost Hunters. But I was afraid you'd think I was a wacko stalker since I refer to you so much as it is!
