Growing up, I loved watching all the old Hammer Horror flicks including Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy. As an adult, I find the true history that these stories are based on even more fascinating than the tales themselves.

On a late April night in 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDaniel of Enfield, Illinois, returned home to find their children, Henry and Lil, excited and frightened because something had been scratching at the door, trying to get into the house.

I recently watched an interesting, albeit rather creepy, documentary about Herb Baumeister, the Hamilton County, Indiana serial killer whose victims are believed to haunt Fox Hollow Farm.

Completed in 1871 for Michael C. Finney and family, the house on North Second Street in Atchison has a fascinating history that includes quite a few deaths.

I watched a fascinating documentary recently called “Afterlife,” produced by Paul Perry. The film explores the results of amazing research and interviews conducted by Raymond Moody MD., PhD and Jeffrey Long MD about near-death experiences (NDEs).

Belvoir Winery, once home to an orphanage, nursing home and hospital, is considered one of the most haunted locations in Missouri.

It’s been my experience for a number of years now that most scary movies just aren’t scary. I am happy to report that this isn’t the case at all with the 2013 horror movie The Conjuring.

Savannah, Georgia was listed as the most haunted city in America in 2003 by the American Institute of Paranormal Psychology. Moon River Brewing Company is considered by many to be the most haunted location in Savannah. Sounds like a great possibility of enjoying a paranormal experience here!

Opened in Philadelphia a few days before Halloween in 1829, this cold and daunting prison has been reported as haunted since the early 1940s when late-night workers “claimed to see odd things and hear strange voices.” Closed in 1969, and abandoned in 1971, the number of sightings has only increased.

For a person who loves spelunking as much as I love the paranormal, a haunted cave can’t be topped. Although I’ve visited many caves all over the United States, I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting Mammoth Cave in central Kentucky.
