I’ve seen them called a couple of different names, such as tragedy selfies or disaster selfies. Lately I’ve noticed a lot of articles about such selfies, like: Artist Shames Tourists Taking Inappropriate Selfies At The Holocaust Memorial Site In Berlin (NSFW) Yolocaust or Cheeky Exploit? ‘Dark tourism’ and selfies: WhatContinue Reading
In July of this year, the Smithsonian posted a call for help in translating and transcribing three ancient texts, all of which revolve around witches. The first, Cases of Conscience Concerning Evil Spirits, is a documentarian novel by Increase Mather, a Puritan minister who, though he understood and championed burningContinue Reading
Please enjoy this guest contribution from Aaron about the infamous Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper terrorised the Whitechapel district in London’s East End during 1888. Since then, his name has been synonymous with terror and today he remains one of the World’s most infamous criminals and arguably the mostContinue Reading
It’s always nice to be noticed, right? We were sure floored when we got an email over the weekend from Anuj Aragwal, the Founder of Feedspot, notifying us that we had been included among their list of the Top 50 Paranormal Blogs on the web. Say what? Wow! Holy cow.Continue Reading
One of the ports on our British Isles cruise a couple years back was Greenock, Scotland. We’d done our research and knew that a quick train ride would take us to Glasgow. Before we’d left home, I’d bought City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Tour tickets for us from our affiliate,Continue Reading
Skellie is taking on yet even more responsibilities around here. In addition to Skellie Shout Outs, his Tuesday night break song DJ duties on our radio show, and getting his own email (skellie@hauntjaunts.net if you want to hit him up for a shout out!), we’ve now given him author accessContinue Reading
Like all other Halloweenophiles, I’m psyched for October 31. Today I borrowed my human’s credit card and had a little shopping spree from one of my favorite Halloween stores, Spirit Halloween (which also happens to be one of HJ’s affiliates). They were having a big décor clearance sale and IContinue Reading
Growing up 10 minutes outside of an Indian Reservation in the northwest US, I overheard my fair share of Native American lore, or at least, that of the particular nation that lived nearby. For the most part, these urban legends consisted of things like Water Babies (imagine my surprise whenContinue Reading
Do you like HoHos? I don’t mean the snack cake kind. (Which, sweet tooth sufferer that I am, amazingly enough I’ve never had an affinity for.) I’m talking about the touristy kind of HoHos, as in Hop-On, Hop-Off tours. Too Touristy? There are some travelers who find these sorts ofContinue Reading
Burying a witch must be performed under the same cautionary conditions as burying a vampire — that is, going to extreme lengths to ensure they never come back again to haunt the town that put them underground in the first place. While vampires were buried with stakes to the heart,Continue Reading
Pardon the brief note. Just wanted to let everyone know Skellie and I will be taking a break from June 19-July 3, 2017 for vacation. That’s why we’ve also been remiss in publishing many posts. If you’ve followed us for any length of time, you know we neglect the blogContinue Reading
I wanted to believe the Blair Witch was a real thing, more than I’ve wanted anything else in the world, probably — and maybe she is, but I sure as heck can’t find any information on her and her story other than what’s being purported through the 1999 movie.Continue Reading
