Skeptical woman with raised eyebrow

They felt most paranormal shows were an insult to their intelligence and they were over them.Continue Reading

Treasure chest glowing green and ghostly with paranormal vibes of money and dollar signs coming from it

A question I get asked a lot is, “How can I make money from the paranormal?” It ties for first place with the other question I get asked all the time, which is: “How do I get my own paranormal TV show?” Which, coincidentally, is actually one of the answersContinue Reading

Blood moon rising above a forest of trees

“People go missing during a blood moon.” That line is included twice, once at the beginning and again at the end, of the trailer for the horror movie The Stairs. (Included below.) I couldn’t help but wonder a few things upon hearing it, including “Do people really go missing duringContinue Reading

ghosts superimposed on cloudy full moon night background

Can you believe that of all the days on the Weird Holidays & Observances page, National Paranormal Day is one we haven’t really investigated yet? I mean, I have somewhat. I created a page for it once upon a time, but upon re-examination, I found it was lacking. Because asContinue Reading

Westfield Watcher House Realtor.com

How could I not talk about the case of the Westfield Watcher during the “Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses” episode? (See season 2, Haunting American True Crimes, on the podcast.)

Woman in pink raincoat posing in coffin at Dollywood's Pumpkin LumiNights

Open coffins as part of Halloween displays are basically photo op invitations, aren’t they? But is it bad luck to pose in a coffin, even if it isn’t a real one?
