Late last year, Eric (Director of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society) and Lon (of Phantoms and Monsters fame) over at Beyond the Edge Radio invited me to be a guest on their show. We set the date for January 8, 2012. In other words, this Sunday. I have to admit IContinue Reading
I always find weird things wherever I go. Istanbul was no exception. For this week’s Wordless Wednesday installment, I figured I’d share a few things that struck me as most weird. UGLY FISH I’m not sure how it tastes, but this super ugly fish was for sale at a restaurant.Continue Reading
Last year I had big plans for Haunt Jaunts in 2011. You know that saying about if you want to make God laugh, make plans? He must have had a rip-roaring belly wiggler over all the plans I laid. I was going to put plans in place for a calendar,Continue Reading
Well, hello, 2012. It’s very nice to meet you. Do you know the rumor circulating about you? That according to the Mayan calendar the world is supposed to end during you? On December 21st, specifically. Many don’t buy into it. But many others do. Some have taken great pains toContinue Reading
What a year it’s been! As 2011 draws to a close, the travel tally stands at: Four countries: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Turkey Two continents: Europe and Asia (Three if you count flying over Greenland, which I’m inclined to do because (a) the pilot flew low enough for us toContinue Reading

Upon its dedication in 360, it was used as the Greek Patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople until 1453. For a short time, from 1402-1461, it served as a Roman Catholic cathedral. From 1453 until 1931Continue Reading
Before we left for Turkey, I knew carpets and Turkish Delight would be popular commodities we’d find in Istanbul. We definitely saw lokum shops everywhere, and by the end of our trip we were expert at dodging the carpet salesmen. But we also found dark blue glass circles with lighterContinue Reading
Taner, one of the front desk staff at our hotel, was loaded with great tips. The one I liked best was when he suggested we check out the Basilica Cistern and look for Medusa. I’m a huge Greek and Roman mythology fan. Medusa immediately piqued my interest. We got directionsContinue Reading
I will be taking a brief hiatus from posting blogs on Haunt Jaunts during December. The year is drawing to a close and I still have yet to finish Shadyside, my horror novel, as well as Haunt Jaunts first book. Both have sort of been stuck in limbo the pastContinue Reading
Researching the paranormal in Istanbul via the Internet for our trip has proven to be no easy task. There is most definitely a shortage of links about haunted places there. However, I’ve found a few. 1. Two extraterrestrials were caught on tape in Istanbul The first thing I found wasContinue Reading
I never expected that I’d be saying I was headed to Turkey, but that is where our latest adventure is leading us. I’m very excited because this will be my first time abroad. Europe has been on my list of places to travel to since I was able to keepContinue Reading
Last year I saw a Facebook event for a Santa Rampage here in Nashville. We had other plans the night of so we didn’t get to go. I was reminded of it a month or so back when we went to a University of Arizona Nashville Chapter alumni event atContinue Reading
