Lately Paranormal Posers are popping up everywhere. That’s how it seems anyway. I mean, they’re always around, but anymore they seem more audacious about expecting people to buy their faked paranormal evidence as real. (And in some cases I don’t mean “buy” as in “believe” but actually fork out money.) LuckilyContinue Reading

For the most part, I’ve met nothing except wonderful people either when I’m out haunt jaunting or that I’ve met online because of the blog. However, every now and then I come across the person I’ve come to consider a “Paranormal Poser.” TYPES There’s a couple of different types: The “expert”Continue Reading

Sound absorbent foam like in an anechoic chamber.

NOTE: On Aug. 21, 2021, I received an email from Steven Orfield alerting me to inaccuracies first reported in this post when it was published on Feb. 16, 2021. When I asked him if he had time to elaborate on what I got wrong, he graciously did. This post nowContinue Reading

Do you listen to many Internet radio shows? I have to admit, I didn’t before I got a show on ParaMania Radio. However, now I find myself tuning in to ParaMania’s live shows when I can, and seeking out the On Demands when I can’t. Talk about infotainment! The personification ofContinue Reading

I discovered Lesia Miller Schnur, a.k.a. The Haunted Librarian, when both of us were named on Feedspot’s List of Top 50 Paranormal Blogs. Not everyone on that list appealed to my particular paranormal sensibilities, but I liked what I saw on her blog. I added her to the list of WordPressContinue Reading

Last week I posted a discussion in the forum (“Do you care if ghost tours are artificially enhanced?”) based on an article I read in the Huffington Post (“Chris ‘Knight Guider’ Date, British Psychic, Accused Of Planting Fake Spirit During Ghost Tour”).

Lately something’s been bothering me, but it wasn’t until a friend share an article with me, which I will discuss below, that I even realized it. I’m a non-ghost hunter. I jaunt to haunted places. I don’t use equipment to investigate the places I travel. My studies are quiet, non-intrusive,Continue Reading

In the realm of the paranormal community overall, this little blog of mine is just that: little. However, small as I may be, I feel I have responsibilities. Such as: Playing nice with others. I don’t hesitate to call people out if it’s obvious they’re acting fraudulently, running a scam,Continue Reading

Last week I wrote how one of the hazards of haunt jaunting is the paranormal posers I come across. But there’s also another kind of paranormal poser. The shady ones. The haunted places that aren’t even actually haunted and falsely advertise their paranormal activity for publicity and profit. Those kind aggravate me to no end.Continue Reading

Apparently when I wrote about Ghost TV shows the other day (Ghost TV Shows: Good for Paranormal Tourism, Bad for Paranormal Research) I didn’t get it all out of my system. I have a few more thoughts to share. KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE As I wrote about in my firstContinue Reading
