I always find weird things wherever I go. Istanbul was no exception. For this week’s Wordless Wednesday installment, I figured I’d share a few things that struck me as most weird. UGLY FISH I’m not sure how it tastes, but this super ugly fish was for sale at a restaurant.Continue Reading

Well, hello, 2012. It’s very nice to meet you. Do you know the rumor circulating about you? That according to the Mayan calendar the world is supposed to end during you? On December 21st, specifically. Many don’t buy into it. But many others do. Some have taken great pains toContinue Reading

  If you’ve followed me for a while now, you’ve likely realized how pokey I can be. If you haven’t, well…there you have it. I’m pokey, just so you know. Back at the start of the summer, I was fed up with my weight. I was looking for a newContinue Reading

Holy cow, this YouTube video about Feline Ghost Adventures cracked me up! Some people are so clever with their mashups. If you haven’t seen this video yet (it’s been out a while) and you’re in need of some laughter, this should do the trick. Especially if you’re a Ghost AdventuresContinue Reading

This summer we joined the YMCA so we could go to the pool. Almost every weekend, as long as weather permitted, we’ve gone. What a scorcher of a summer it’s been. The pool has provided a measure of relief. And the Maryland Farms Y, the location we prefer best, is notContinue Reading

Today Gnostalgia raised some interesting questions about whether paranormal TV is staged or hoaxed (or perhaps both). Barry’s no more satisfied with Syfy’s latest paranormal programming offering (Haunted Collector) than I am. And Finding Bigfoot has only turned out to be laughable. (See also another great Gnostalgia post: Finding Bigfoot on TalkContinue Reading

Last week I wrote how one of the hazards of haunt jaunting is the paranormal posers I come across. But there’s also another kind of paranormal poser. The shady ones. The haunted places that aren’t even actually haunted and falsely advertise their paranormal activity for publicity and profit. Those kind aggravate me to no end.Continue Reading

One of the places we went to in search of haunted Mayan ruins was Chacchoben, “the place of the red corn.” We didn’t find any ghosts there, nor did our guide share any ghost stories with us (in fact, he thought I was nuts for asking him if he knew ofContinue Reading

Greens Caverns was among the 14 haunted places I wanted to Haunt Jaunt to in Tennessee, but I have a feeling it’s going to get dropped from the list. There’s one big reason why: I don’t think such a place exists. I only started looking for it in earnest becauseContinue Reading

Here we go again, another ghost tour claiming it caught a ghost not once but twice in pictures during its ghost tour. STV broke the story Friday in “Mystery as ‘ghost’ appears in two photos from Edinburgh tours.” Apparently staff at the Real Mary King’s Close feel the blond womanContinue Reading

Out of the stories of the World War Two and the evils and atrocities of the Third Reich were born a few ghost stories. Stories of military apparitions dot the European countryside, phantom fliers cruise the skies of the North Sea and spectral paratroopers wander aimlessly on forgotten airfields. WarContinue Reading

My friend Jade Walker asked me not too long ago, “What makes a place officially haunted anyway? Is there even such a thing?” Since this is a question I’m asked all the time, and since tonight is the big premiere of Syfy’s newest show, Fact or Faked, I thought itContinue Reading
