I figured it’d be fun to check out some of the Haunt Jaunts along the Hood to Coast route since this is the big Hood to Coast Race weekend. (My husband flew to Portland yesterday to participate.

A while back I wrote about HauntedCon, but this week I got to thinking about other ghost conferences coming up for the rest of 2009. Where were they and when? (I knew I’d seen some others during my travels around various websites, so…) I decided to do a little investigatingContinue Reading
