I received an interesting email last week. Another one from producers looking for first person accounts for a new TV show. But what caught my eye about this one was it’s right up my alley: haunted vacations! I started Haunt Jaunts specifically because of encounters I had while on theContinue Reading

Got to make this disclaimer ahead of time: Group Getaways is one of our affiliates. I’ve been keeping a watch on Groupon Getaway deals each week to see if any haunted hotels come up. This week they have one! It’s for the Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. The first HomesteadContinue Reading
A lonely, lost, red-haired little girl is one of the ghosts said to haunt the bridge which was demolished earlier this year. Or you might see one of the young men who hung themselves from the bridge or leaped to their doom over lost love. Enoch’s Bridge was a typicalContinue Reading
The Guardian was the first article I read that pondered whether the Los Roques islands are the new Bermuda Triangle. The article was written after Vittorio Missoni’s plane disappeared on January 4, 2013. I’m not into fashion so I don’t know who Vittorio Missoni is, but apparently he’s a bigContinue Reading

A long time ago my friend Jade Walker sent me a link (that I unfortunately no longer have) asking if Haunt Jaunts is dark tourism. I think the link was to the Institute for Dark Tourism Research, but for some reason I didn’t save it so I’m not positive aboutContinue Reading
Last December, during our trip to Turkey, one of the sites we saw was the House of the Virgin Mary. I’m not a Christian. Partly because I have a hard time believing in the Immaculate Conception. I was pretty ambivalent about whether we saw the Virgin Mary’s house or not.Continue Reading
I was going through my photos the other night and realized something very bad. I have not written about a lot of my jaunts over the past couple of years. I may mention them on the Facebook page or share an occasional pic here or there, but wow have IContinue Reading
