The last couple of years I basically abandoned the Ghost Tour & Ghost Hunting Events page. At least here on the site. Last year I did note that while the page was taking a temporary hiatus, events were still being shared on HJ’s Eerie Events and Paracons Facebook Group. Well,Continue Reading
One of the dates I love on the Weird Holiday & Observances page is December 5, Krampusnacht. I guess because it’s a good dose of Halloween-ish spookiness with a Christmas twist? I don’t know, but it’s creepy so I love it. It’s also why any kind of Krampus-related activities pique myContinue Reading
November 19 is World Toilet Day. It’s not one of the days the Skeleton Crew and I track on our Weird Holidays & Observances page. So how did it come to my attention? It showed up on my iPhone’s calendar of all places. I’m not sure how it got there.Continue Reading
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
According to our Weird Holidays & Observances Calendar, October 30 is Visit a Cemetery Day. (It’s also National Candy Corn Day, Mischief Night, and Haunted Refrigerator Day.) But this post is dedicated to Cemetery Day. I thought it’d be fun to revisit some of the most hauntingly beautiful cemeteries we’veContinue Reading
According to our Weird Holidays and Observances calendar, September 22 is Hobbit Day, which is a part of the larger Tolkien Week celebration. Hobbit Day celebrates both Bilbo’s and Frodo’s mutual birthday. (For those who are fans of the Lord of the Rings series.) I have a confession. I neverContinue Reading
We’re really pleased to have this guest post from Caroline, who’s a blogger at Culture Coverage. She’s taking us on a jaunt to some of the scariest festivals the world has to offer. Enjoy! The cultural differences around the world can sometimes be shocking. What those in the US mightContinue Reading
On February 16, 2014, we took our 9th cruise, which sailed from San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had a couple of days to explore San Juan and the nearby El Yunque rainforest. I’ll be writing more about both. This post, however, is dedicated to San Juan’s beautiful forts: Castillo SanContinue Reading
Located in the southern portion of the state, Bowling Green is Kentucky’s third largest city. It’s 60 miles from Nashville, Tennessee and 110 miles from Louisville, Kentucky. It was honored with a Dozen Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation because of its dedication to showing off itsContinue Reading
I’m pretty positive nothing lurks behind the walls of St. Augustine’s Lightner Museum, however…for a split second during our most recent visit I had my suspicions. The Lightner Museum is one of my favorite haunts. On my first visit there in 1999, I felt certain it was a placeContinue Reading
Everyone has their most haunted cities lists, don’t they? In honor of Valentine’s Day I thought it’d be fun to recap the 14 most romantic haunted cities we’ve jaunted to so far. (14 for February 14, get it?) You won’t see too many big cities on my list. Chicago and New YorkContinue Reading
On my post about ghost tours, Autumnforest (from Ghost Hunting Theories) made a comment about how she advises people interested in ghost hunting to try a tour on for size first. She even stated how her group, MVD Ghostchasers, conducts ghost hunting workshops four times a year. This is aContinue Reading
