The lady from The Birds, Jason Voorhees and Svengoolie at The Scarefest paracon and horror fest

Surprisingly, August is one of the last busy months for paracons and horror fests. At least according to our Paracons & Horror Fests Events page, that is. We have as many listed as we’ve come across, but we may be missing a few. (And if that’s the case and youContinue Reading

This is a guest contribution from Alissa Monroe. Psychics offer a lot of value, but that doesn’t mean all of them are the same. In fact, many “professionals” are anything but professional when it comes to their job and what is expected of them. Just like anything else where moneyContinue Reading

As I was curating links to share in the Haunted Headlines post for the week ending Friday, July 13, 2018, I came across an article from Travel+Leisure that was intriguing. Judging by the title alone (“Stevie Nicks’ and Jennifer Lopez’s Psychic Medium Reveals the Most Haunted Hotels He’s Ever StayedContinue Reading

This is a Guest Contribution from Michelle Maxwell.

Here’s a snippet from the article: A BritishContinue Reading

Pera Palace Hotel exterior nameplate

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

If you follow this blog, you know how much I love cruising. A reader, who also happens to be a cruise consultant, asked if I’d be interested in doing a paranormal seminar at sea. As in helping coordinate one. Are you kidding? Dream come true! How do I sign up?!Continue Reading

  I can’t help it. I’m obsessed with April. Specifically, the doom and chaos that seems to accompany it. Please Don’t Take Offense Last year when I shared my view that April is a cursed month it put a lot of people off. I can see why some people withContinue Reading

August 2 thru August 6 is designated as Psychic Week. But according to an ABC News story from 2001, many psychics don’t even know there is such a week in their honor. Or didn’t. However, I’m thinking not much has changed in the last nine years because, even as nutsContinue Reading
