Mysterious Phantom Mens Adult Costume This past Friday May 25, 2012 the musical Phantom of the Opera celebrated it’s 25th anniversary. It might be a pretty obscure anniversary to some (okay, most), but it was something I wanted to write…

This is a guest blog by Pamela K. Kinney. I asked if she’d want to write a sort of In Memoriam post after she posted a link to an article about how Professor Cline’s Haunted Monster Museum burnt down. I…

Since there’s a chance we might get to San Francisco this year, I’m already researching things we can do while there. I came across this Winchester Mystery House, Muir Woods and Sausalito Day Trip tour On Viator, and decided it’d…

Ninety-nine years ago yesterday Titanic struck an iceberg just before midnight on April 14, 1912. When it sank a short time later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, it claimed the lives of over 1,500 people. Last September we took a 10-day Canada/New…

I first learned about Spook Hill in Lake Wales, Florida when I was a little girl. For those who are old enough to remember the show That’s Incredible! perhaps you, too, saw the episode where it was featured. Apparently…

I love visiting museums whether they’re haunted or not. However, check out what I’ve discovered: paranormal museums! Five of them, in fact. John Zaffis Museum of the Paranormal - I found out about this from a post on Ghost Lounge some time back. John…

This past Halloween I saw something I hadn’t seen in Halloween’s past: debates surrounding ghost tours and haunted houses. Specifically, people protesting them and working to shut them down because they felt they’re disrespectful and/or not politically correct. In year’s…

When I was researching Zombie Road I came across the clip for Children of the Grave. It won the Best Paranormal Documentary of 2008 and was produced by the same people who made Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium.…

It was a bright and sunny day… That doesn’t sound like the start of a malicious or scary story, does it? But look at Aaron in that photo. What a face! He sure looks possessed. But he’s not. As they’re prone…

Today my friend Autumnforest of Ghost Hunting Theories has organized a Blogger Zombie Walk that I’m participating in. (I’ve included a complete list of all the blogs participating at the end of this post.) I decided since Haunt Jaunts is a paranormal travel blog that…

There are all kinds of lists out at this time of year, such as best scary movies, best costumes, and of course, best haunted houses. Last year I confessed about my problem with Halloween haunted houses. Basically, they freak me…

Okay, before I begin let me offer this disclaimer: A “real” haunted place is a tricky beast to define. As I’ve written about before, there really is no such thing as an “officially” haunted place. However, for the purpose of…

The past few months I’ve watched in rapt interest as one post in particular continues to be hands down the most popular of all the posts I’ve written: Key West’s Robert the Doll. In my Google Analytics account I’ve watched…

Back in June, Steve Vaughn of Ghost Eyes invited me along on a paranormal investigation he’d put together to the Old South Pittsburgh Hospital in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee. He said it’d make for a “great haunted jaunt.” An overnight one…

With summer in full swing, theme parks make for popular vacation destinations unto themselves. However, the heat, noise, crowds and lines don’t deter devout ghost enthusiasts from turning theme park excursions into Haunt Jaunts. Take Jessica from Ghost Stories and…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Catnipthyme over at Ghost Lounge inspired me with her post about great haunted pubs in NYC for St. Patty’s Day fun. It got me to thinking about other great places that boast both paranormal activity and…

I forget how I started following Leonard Pickel, but I want to say Chad Savage of Sinister Visions was to blame. (I think I found Leonard via Chad’s Sinister Circuit somehow. Can’t quite remember.) At any rate, Leonard Pickel instantly…

When I welcomed soon-to-be Haunt Jaunts guest blogger Shanna Riley, I alluded to another anticipated guest blogger lined up thanks to Twitter. That guest blogger would be Jen Blaney (@JenBlaney). Much like Shanna, it was also because of a Tweet…

I’ve heard of My Funny Valentine, but this year the theme I’m coming across again and again is my Bloody Valentine. Not that I’m complaining. It’s great for those of us whose hearts beat to a more macabre drum. Here’s…

This morning on Today I watched Matt Lauer talk with Priscilla Presley about Elvis’s 75th birthday and some of the celebrations Graceland has planned in honor of that event. I couldn’t help but wonder, “Will Elvis’s ghost show up at…

It depends on who you talk to in Key West, but some know one of their more interesting characters as Robert the Haunted Doll, while others prefer to call him Robert the Enchanted Doll. No matter what adjective they ascribe…

I’ve got a confession to make regarding Halloween Haunted Houses. I’m making it because starting this week, then over the coming weeks, I’ll be writing extensively about all things Halloween. But especially about haunted houses. (They’re among the perfect Haunt…

The Ghost Adventures team had pretty big shoes to fill when they headed to investigate Eastern State Penitentiary. That was one of Ghost Hunters best shows. (The first visit. I don’t know if I was as impressed with the evidence…
