What interesting things I learned today at tennis from the girls on my team about ghosts right here in my own backyard! They all know about my spooky little blog, but I never really talk about it much with them. I tend to keep my writing stuff to myself unlessContinue Reading
One Sunday when we lived in Jacksonville, Wayne wanted to go exploring. I had been reading my Haunting Sunshine book and had just finished the section on the Herlong Mansion. “Want to go to Micanopy?” I asked. “Where?” I had no idea how to pronounce Micanopy. Maybe I was sayingContinue Reading
This week I decided to do something a bit different and participate in Budget Travelers Sandbox’s Travel Photo Thursday. I’ve long wanted to share some photos I took of the fun sea creatures I encountered while strolling along Rafael E. Melgar, a.k.a. Cozumel’s tourist area main street. This seems likeContinue Reading
This is a guest post by William Collins. Since I was eleven years old, I’ve been keeping expansive lists of haunted houses. It started out on a yellow pad, moved to a journal that I rewrote and reworked over the years and now has been gradually transferred to series ofContinue Reading
I’m pleased to invite one and all to Haunt Jaunts first ever group event: Halloween in the Bermuda Triangle with special guest investigators Ghost Eyes aboard Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas. You can find complete details and booking information on the Halloween Cruise 2012 page. However, let me giveContinue Reading
I love, Love, LOVE when I fly and have a fun flight crew. It’s why I used to love Southwest. (Still do.) They always did (still do) something funny to lighten up the trip. But in the past few years, I’ve noticed other airlines copying the model. Some flight attendantsContinue Reading
When you love the paranormal and travel in search of it, or Haunt Jaunt as I like to call it, you don’t necessarily learn where the best ghosts roam. You’re lucky to experience any paranormal activity. However, you still learn things. (That’s pretty much true for any travel really.) IContinue Reading
After exploring Ensenada’s tourist section, we decided to take a little waterfront path back to our boat. Almost immediately I spied something intriguing. It was a towering thing that most definitely appeared to be made up at least partially of bones. As we approached, I fired up my camera andContinue Reading
Since there’s a chance we might get to San Francisco this year, I’m already researching things we can do while there. I came across this Winchester Mystery House, Muir Woods and Sausalito Day Trip tour On Viator, and decided it’d make for a fun Feature Friday post. ABOUT THE TOURContinue Reading
One of the things I liked doing best while we were in Istanbul was visiting the Pera Palace Hotel. Or, as it’s known in Turkish, Pera Palas Otel. We didn’t stay there (out of our price range), but I made a point of finding it. In a manner of speaking,Continue Reading
What a year it’s been! As 2011 draws to a close, the travel tally stands at: Four countries: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Turkey Two continents: Europe and Asia (Three if you count flying over Greenland, which I’m inclined to do because (a) the pilot flew low enough for us toContinue Reading
One of Istanbul’s architectural crown jewels is the Ayasofya, or Hagia Sophia as it’s also known. Upon its dedication in 360, it was used as the Greek Patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople until 1453. For a short time, from 1402-1461, it served as a Roman Catholic cathedral. From 1453 until 1931Continue Reading
