AI image of a giant dark heart in the middle of the road leads to places to haunting and haunted places to celebrate Valentine's Day 2023

Spending the night in wine country in a haunted Gothic Victorian. Taking an adults-only Lewd Spirits tour in NOLA. Embarking on a heart-pounding walk-through of a haunted attraction.

Screen grab of Unsolved Mysteries volume 3 cover from Netflix phone app

Personally, whether they deal with anything paranormal or not, I feel every episode of Unsolved Mysteries is pretty haunting. Not knowing what happened to someone —be it how exactly they died, or where they disappeared to in the case of missing persons— is very haunting. Especially the way the producersContinue 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

Ghost hovering in a hallway in front of man holding candle

What are ghosts? That’s a million-dollar question, isn’t it? Heck, it’s probably worth far more than a million dollars at this point. If anyone can ever answer it, that is. Which no one has definitively done yet, so for now ghosts remain myths and folklore. Even without concrete proof, however,Continue Reading

Ghosts can show up anywhere, anytime, not just during paranormal investigations, right? Yes. Of course. That’s why people go ghost hunting.

Revised May 22, 2019 May 18 is International Museum Day. It may seem like an innocuous day to include on the Weird Holidays & Observances listings, but not if you put a twist on it. Which, of course, I can’t help but to do. From paranormal and cryptozoology to witches,Continue Reading

Liminal Earth Map

Last year a haunted places and paranormal activity mapping site came to my attention called Liminal Seattle. It’s since evolved to become Liminal Earth. What is it? In essence, it’s one big experiment or research project. A collective one open to everyone worldwide to participate in. Spooky things happen everyContinue Reading

At the end of last year I came across an article that inspired me to add a new date to the Weird Holidays & Observances listings. The article was “15 Weird Forgotten Holidays We Should Totally Bring Back” on ViraLuck. The date was April 24, St. Mark’s Eve. Which sounds prettyContinue Reading
