As you might expect, there’s some kind of spooky gathering happening somewhere in the U.S. every weekend in October, including paracons and horror fests. But they don’t just take place in October. Paracons and horror fests happen year-round. Some months, mainly the coldest, are slower than others. Typically, December throughContinue Reading

Ah, summer. That astronomical season that begins on Sunday, June 20, and lasts until Wednesday, September 22. Or pre-Spooky Season, as I like to think of it.

The first paranormal event COVID-19 casualty I became aware of was last week when the Winchester Mystery House announced it was closing until April 1. With so many places closing and limiting business as usual due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, we can expect more such announcements. Here are theContinue Reading

The calendar says September 23, 2019 is the first day of Fall. Although, I don’t know about you, but here in Nashville, Mother Nature did not get the memo. Summer is still blazing away, much to my chagrin. Fall’s arrival heralds the official start of Spooky Season. Although, again…I don’tContinue Reading

I’m late getting the highlights for June’s Paracons & Horror Fests and Ghost Hunting Tours & Events out this month. Again. Story of my life. Apologies. Although I don’t know how many people really pay attention to them anyway, so it really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things IContinue Reading

Are you a Bigfoot fan? April is one of the months you’ll find a bunch of Bigfoot cons — five in fact. And April 13 is the most popular day for them. In fact, April 13 is the most popular day no matter what kind of spooky event, be itContinue Reading

Even though Fall is near and it’s the unofficial start of Halloween season (does it actually ever really end?), September sees the start of the wind-down on paracons and horror events. At least, that’s what a quick glance at the Paracons & Horror Fests Events page shows. The other thing to note,Continue Reading

We’re full of questions today, aren’t we? In addition to wondering if you’d find it helpful to know who’s hosting an event, we’d also like to know something else. Would you find it useful if we listed events on our Paracons & Horror Fests page by category? Currently we haveContinue Reading

We’re almost done with our renovations around here. Almost. One more big addition is in the works, but let’s recap all we’ve done so far: Part 1 started with adding our Writers Wanted section. Part 2 saw changes to the Haunted Places, Ghost Tours and Paracons sections. We didn’t labelContinue Reading

In Changes to HJ Part 1, I explained that we’re in the process of changing a few things around here. In Part 1 I focused on how we added a Writers Wanted section and are currently “hiring.” (Have to use that word loosely since the pay is so minimal.) NowContinue Reading
