I’m devastated. Last night one of my friends I play volleyball with confirmed something I had started to fear over the weekend: even if the recovery disk gets my crashed computer restarted, it’ll do so with a clean slate. Meaning, anything I didn’t backup will be wiped out. DREADEDContinue Reading

I finally had a chance to watch last week’s Waverly Hills Ghost Adventures episode. I was sorry it took me so long to watch. Waverly Hills is one of my favorite haunted places. It’s because of the shadow people. They fascinate me as much as they scare me. THE THEORYContinue Reading

This evening we set sail on our fourth cruise. This will be our longest one yet: 10 days aboard Holland America’s Ms. Eurodam bound for Canada and New England. We’ve never traveled Holland America before. The last three cruises have all been on Carnival. We might’ve sailed with Carnival againContinue Reading

Tomorrow starts Day 1 of our vacation. We’re starting out in New York City. (Where I was hoping to meet up with Jason from The Occult Section and Brooke from SCARED! over in Staten Island, but my hub ixnayed that plan. It’s his birthday weekend, you see, and he wantedContinue Reading

Back in June, Steve Vaughn of Ghost Eyes invited me along on a paranormal investigation he’d put together to the Old South Pittsburgh Hospital in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee. He said it’d make for a “great haunted jaunt.” An overnight one at that. I’ve been following the adventures Autumnforest of GhostContinue Reading

I haven’t been posting as usual lately because last Saturday we (meaning my husband and I) received some devastating news: my wonderful Aunt Alice passed away. (Since Wayne’s been a major part of my life for nearly 2/3 of it now, he definitely got a chance to come to knowContinue Reading

Previously I wrote about things we saw on our Haunt Jaunt to St. Louis, one of which was the Lemp Mansion. I decided to take some video while we were there. I was hoping to play around with creating a travel commentary of sorts. However, I couldn’t get my cameraContinue Reading

Okay, so I’m not the brightest bulb in the box. Sometimes (most times) it takes me a few tries to get things right. When I started this Facebook page it was back during chemo days. (I blame that! Just kidding. Actually there was a reason for my madness…) Back thenContinue Reading

Haunts and Hounds is an apparel, gifts and accessories store that combines two of my loves: ghosts and haunted places plus animals. The “Haunts” part funds my activities as Director of Paranormal Tourism for Haunt Jaunts. The “Hounds” part keeps my pooch and trusty traveling companion, Murphy, in bones. AsContinue Reading

While I was putting together some info about historic haunted places for Darlene at Destinations Travel Magazine, I was reminded of haunted places I’d like to Haunt Jaunt to here in Tennessee. I’ve been to a few already, such as: Grand Ole Opry Ryman Auditorium The Hermitage Carnton Plantation StonesContinue Reading

There were a lot of factors that went into giving birth to Haunt Jaunts. Like any pregnancy there was an egg and a sperm. But in HJ’s case I think there were actually multiple sperms. The egg was the basic idea, which first started off as being a book concept,Continue Reading

Apparently I have ethics on the brain. Yesterday I wrote about LiveParanormal.com’s Town Hall meeting on ethics that’s happening tomorrow. Today I’m going to talk about another side of the ethical coin: preservation. It’s been a couple of weeks now, but two people I greatly admire in the paranormal realm,Continue Reading
