The guest for the Haunt Jaunts radio show on Tuesday March 21, 2017 is Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter author Chris Verstraete. (Who writes as C.A. Verstraete.) Chris also happens to be a long time friend of mine. (I wanted to get acclimated to this radio hosting gig with people IContinue Reading
Today we’re going to be talking about something a little different: Urban Exploration. Also known as Urbex, it’s the hobby of entering old abandoned buildings or similar locations, and just exploring the heck out of them. Snooping in and out of rooms, going through objects left behind, exposing yourself toContinue Reading
Elsie and I are very friendly with the beck Fairies. It is funny I never used to see them in Africa. It must be too hot for them there.Continue Reading
HorrorAddicts.net is doing something I wished I’d thought up: a Vile Vacations series. They’re even accepting guest posts. The multi-talented Emerian Rich, a Horror Hostess at HorrorAddicts.net, was the one who gave me a heads up about submitting a Vile Vacations guest post. (If her name rings a bell andContinue Reading
Several weeks ago, Nicki Spiers of Colonial Ghosts, graciously took some time to talk with me about her popular Colonial Williamsburg ghost tour company and the exciting new tour they’ve recently added: cemetery tours. These are not ghost tours. Instead, they focus on “the interesting and hidden history of Williamsburg’sContinue Reading
Last year we listed Valentine’s Day haunted houses, which proved pretty popular actually. (Hits-wise. It’s the special post that gets any comments.) Anyway, we thought: “Why not do it again this year?” We meant to have it pulled together before now, but…well, “better late than never” seems to be ourContinue Reading
Before I talk about the Anchor Inn Exorcism on Season 1, Episode 1 of Scariest Places on Earth (remember that show?), let me tell you what sparked this story. As anyone who follows HJ on social media knows, this past weekend I attended HAuNTcon. Met some creepy cool people andContinue Reading
I wrote about HAuNTcon 2017’s 2-Day Inspiration Pre-Show Tour, but that’s not the only cool thing that has me excited about attending my very first HAuNTcon event. There is a lot happening during this five-day convention. But the activities aren’t limited to just the day. There’s plenty of fun toContinue Reading
I am forever grateful that Leonard Pickel messaged me on LinkedIn at the very end of December to ask, “Hey Courtney, will you be joining us at HAuNTcon next month?” I didn’t see his message until January 9. I had just gotten back from holiday and was trying to regroup.Continue Reading
Among the interesting things you should know about 2017’s Friday the 13ths is that there are two of them. The first kicks off the New Year in January; the second takes place during Halloween season in October. Haunted houses of the Halloween variety will be in full swing during theContinue Reading
Yesterday I was doing some Christmas (and personal) shopping at Lakeside Collection, when one of their sidebar articles caught my eye: Unique Christmas Traditions from Around the World. Presents under the tree and milk and cookies for Santa — it’s what Americans do every year in anticipation of Christmas. AroundContinue 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
