Thanks to our handy Weird Holidays and Observances calendar, we know today, May 3rd, is Paranormal Day. Last year we threw a party here on Haunt Jaunts for Paranormal Day. We invited others to share their posts for a sort of blog hop. It was fun, but I didn’t getContinue Reading
Witch stereotypes run rampant in 2017, and a few have withstood the test of time. When asked to describe a common witch, a person’s first instinct might be to include the iconic black pointed hat and robes, a broomstick, a green hooked nose, and bubbling potion cauldrons.

It’s a mystery exactly when and where Matthew Hopkins was puttering around before 1644, but when he did arrive on the scene, it was with a bang. A few decades before the Salem Witch Trials in the US, witch hunts were already going strong in the UK. As previously mentionedContinue Reading

What an absolutely delightful guest Lewis turned out to be. Not that I had any doubts, mind you. It’s just that I really enjoy reading his blog. It was even more fun putting an audible voice to all of that! And the way he could just peel haunted history outContinue Reading

Regular walking ghost tours marry the two (exercise plus haunt jaunting), but earlier this year a unique tour in Utah came to my attention: Pedal Provo GhostContinue Reading
While witches have played a huge role in human lore since the beginning of recorded history, it wasn’t until the 15th century that the actual hunting of witches really came into play.

Last week I learned that crocodile diving is a thing. It’s all thanks to a fellow ParaMania Radio pal, Jay Lynch, who hosts the Sit, Chat & Laugh with the Lynch’s with his wife, Teresa, on Mondays from 7-9 EDT. Jay shared a link on his timeline that included thisContinue Reading
What is it with April? I’ve shared my theory here before (we’ll get to those links later) that I believe it’s a cursed month. It’s been a while since I went there though. But every April I can’t help but wonder, “What, when, where, and how will disaster strike thisContinue Reading
