On a jaunt to Alaska in 2018, I embarked on a self-initiated scavenger hunt in search of cairns, or inukshuks, as I learned they’re called up there during my exploration of the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. Which, my apologies right off the bat if you clicked this hoping toContinue Reading
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. (Especially the report aboutContinue Reading
One of the stories that stuck with me from the Ghost Tours of Anchorage tour was the ghost of the Snow City Cafe. Maybe because the delightful eatery had already bewitched me? It was only a block from our hotel. We’d ended up grabbing lunch there after we’d checked intoContinue Reading
Are you ready for 31 days of terror? Who isn’t? Well, I guess non-Halloween lovers, but the rest us? Yes! Bring it! And “bring it” Travel Channel plans to do with it’s “Ghostober” programming.

The other day a recommendation popped up on my Kindle Fire for a new-to-me Bigfoot book: 100 Bigfoot Nights: A Chilling True Story (Volume 1). This true story sets out to chronicle the terrifying encounters that a residential family has had with the creature known as Bigfoot. Accompanied byContinue Reading
When we took our Alaskan cruise in 2008 we flew into Anchorage. We spent a night there before catching the transfer that took us to the cruise terminal in Whittier. When we’d booked our cruise we were strongly encouraged to book a transfer through Carnival because getting to the terminal wasn’tContinue Reading
You know when you see an alleged Bigfoot or other monster video and it’s all wonky? By wonky I mean out of focus, not zoomed in, shaky, or otherwise very raw and full of flaws? Every time I see a video claiming to have caught a Bigfoot, an alien, orContinue Reading
Everyone has their most haunted cities lists, don’t they? In honor of Valentine’s Day I thought it’d be fun to recap the 14 most romantic haunted cities we’ve jaunted to so far. (14 for February 14, get it?) You won’t see too many big cities on my list. Chicago and New YorkContinue Reading
