Fossa description

“OMG! It’s a Chupacabra!” I thought the first time I saw a fossa. It was during a recent jaunt to the San Francisco Zoo. But then my brain checked itself. No one has ever captured a real Chupacabra, and if a zoo had one, surely that would’ve made the news.Continue Reading

Screen grab of Unsolved Mysteries volume 3 cover from Netflix phone app

Personally, whether they deal with anything paranormal or not, I feel every episode of Unsolved Mysteries is pretty haunting. Not knowing what happened to someone —be it how exactly they died, or where they disappeared to in the case of missing persons— is very haunting. Especially the way the producersContinue Reading

I Know What I Saw book cover

Before I begin, I’m going to admit that I am a skeptic. If this were The X-Files, I’m much more of a Scully than a Mulder. However, I still enjoy tales of the paranormal –especially cryptids– because they’re fun and scary. Even though I know bigfoot could never exist, there’sContinue Reading

Man-eater of Mfuwe

It was impossible not to think of “The Ghost” and “The Darkness,” the man-eating lions that inspired the movie of the same name, when I spotted “The Man-Eater of Mfuwe” on display in Chicago’s Field Museum. I’d never heard of the beast before then. Nor did I realize at theContinue Reading

Engraving rendering of the Beast of Gevaudan

In a review where I examined how scary the werewolf movie The Cursed was, I mentioned that it partly drew its inspiration from the Beast of Gevaudan, a real-life man-eating creature. Which I guess pretty much answers the title question. Yes. The Beast of Gevaudan is real. Or was. ItContinue Reading

Smalls Skeleton on SUP in Percy Priest Lake

Some people hunt ghosts, others aliens or Bigfoot. My thing is mermaids. I recently posted my first Expedition Mermaid video (embedded below) on YouTube under where else? The Skeleton Crew playlist! But it’s far from the first time we’ve gone looking for her. Soon after the “Nashville Mermaid” Paranormal CaughtContinue Reading
