Witchy Wednesday: 2 Witches Who May Have Inspired The Blair Witch Project

2017-06-14
By: Kelsey Morgan
On: June 14, 2017
In: Entertainment, History, Movies, Mysterious

  I wanted to believe the Blair Witch was a real thing, more than I’ve wanted anything else in the world, probably — and maybe she is, but I sure as heck can’t find any information on her and her story other than what’s being purported through the 1999 movie.Continue Reading

Frightful Photo Friday: 20th Century Séances

2017-03-31
By: Kelsey Morgan
On: March 31, 2017
In: History, Mysterious

A lot of things have changed since 1901, I think that’s fair to say. But, for the world of Spiritualism and seeking truth in the paranormal, the goals have remained the same, and it’s only the method of contact and recording said contact that has evolved. On top of that,Continue Reading

The Strange Case of the Much Maligned Luminescent Orb

2014-05-17
By: Steven Rumbelow
On: May 17, 2014
In: History, Mysterious, Paranormal

This post is by Steven Rumbelow. It’s a huge subject. As usual, the skeptics paint everything with the same brush. Fact is that it’s really easy to distinguish between orbs, lens anomalies, dust, reflected light and the real thing. Many of the non-phenomenal “orbs” captured on still cameras are lensContinue Reading

San Juan’s Picturesque (and Haunted) Forts

In: Featured, Guide Posts, History, Travel

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

Memorial Day Movie Monday: The Ghost Army

On: May 27, 2013
In: Entertainment, History, Movies

In honor of Memorial Day I decided to write about a fantastic program I watched on PBS last week called The Ghost Army. Wow. I was absolutely engrossed. I don’t know if everyone has a favorite war or era of military history, but both WWI and WWII have always fascinatedContinue Reading

How to Survive an Apocalypse: Lessons from 12/21/12

2012-12-21
By: Courtney Mroch
On: December 21, 2012
In: History, Lifestyle

If there’s one thing all the hype leading up to 12/21/21 has taught me, it’s how to survive an apocalypse. Here’s what I’ve learned: LESSON #1 The first thing is not to put too much stock into one coming. (Okay, as I admitted in another post about 12/21/12, I sortContinue Reading

Movie Monday: The Musee Mechanique’s Laughing Sal

It’s my pleasure to present you with “Laughing Sal,” a Haunt Jaunts original Movie Monday production. It’s been a while since I’ve made a movie. I have lots of footage from past jaunts in my Movies to Be Made queue. However, I’ve been lazy about making any because I knowContinue Reading

Movie Monday: A Look at “Haunted History: Caribbean”

2012-05-14

On: May 14, 2012
In: Documentaries, Haunted History, History, Movies, Travel

A few weeks back, either Bio or the History Channel (I forget which now) reran Haunted History: Caribbean. I DVRed it because I was curious if they would mention any haunts on Nassau, one of the ports of call on the Haunt Jaunts Halloween in the Bermuda Triangle Cruise. Nope. IContinue Reading

A Look at Halifax: The City That Took in Titanic’s Dead

2012-04-17
By: Courtney Mroch
On: April 17, 2012
In: Haunted History, History, Travel

Halifax, Nova Scotia was one of our ports when we took our Canada/New England cruise. I was stoked because I had Nova Scotia on my bucket list. (This was before I understood Nova Scotia was one of Canada’s provinces, not a city. That’s one thing our jaunts to Canada haveContinue Reading

Searching for Medusa in Istanbul’s Basilica Cistern

2011-12-12
By: Courtney Mroch
On: December 12, 2011
In: History, Mysterious, Travel

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

In: Haunted History, History, Paranormal

This past weekend saw the Middle Tennessee area hosting two biggies in the paranormal investigation field. Well, four really. Chris Fleming was in town to do an event, and the Ghost Adventures boys (Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin) were in Nashvegas for a lock down. (Why they callContinue Reading

In: Haunted Places, History

< p style=”text-align: center;”> One of my favorite places to take people who would come visit us when we lived in Jacksonville was Kingsley Plantation. Not only because of all the ghost stories surrounding it, but because the drive out there was gorgeous. (You drive along  A1A, which winds along theContinue Reading
