Tonight On Paranormal Geeks Radio: Jeff Mudgett!

Tonight at 9 pm EST/8 pm Central/6 pm Pacific, the author Jeff Mudgett will be the special guest on Paranormal Geeks Radio.  This fascinating and gifted author has a book out called " Bloodstains " that you will definitely want to check out - Bloodstains is the startling tale of one man’s search for the truth after inheriting the personal diaries belonging to his great-great-grandfather who he discovers was America’s first and most notorious serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett. Better known by his alias H.H. Holmes, Mudgett was the mass murderer who struck terror into the nation by being the proprietor of the infamous Murder Castle and stalking the streets of Chicago during the 1893 World’s Fair. During his incarceration awaiting execution, well over a century ago, Holmes admitted killing 27 innocent victims, but the evidence the author locates indicates hundreds more likely. From his investigation, Jeff Mudgett, the direct descendant, learns that Holmes’ reign of

Road Trip Week: Precarious and Scary Roads

Summer road trip time - why not consider scaring the crap out of your family? The road to Big Sur is sure to separate boys from men. Highway 1 is an intense cliff hugging drive along the coast for 122 miles from Monterey to Morro Bay. Independence Pass from Aspen to Leadville in Colorado.  Highway 82 is a 187-mile white knuckler. And if that's not enough, you take the over 1000-foot tall highest suspension bridge in the world!

Clinton Road , Passaic County, New Jersey.  Seriously paranormal , " If you are visiting the road at midnight, stop by the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve for a game of catch. Toss pennies into the water, and the ghost of a young boy will toss them back.  A gray wolf with red eyes will stalk you from the bushes.  Satan worshippers will hang hang up their bloody clothes to dry, right next to the mutilated an

Road Trip Week - Highway 666

  US 491, formerly US 666, passes through each of the 4-corner states; AZ, NM, CO, UT area.  Although the number came about by usual highway number methods, many were frightened by the "sign of the beast" number 666. Tales began to circulate about it being the Devil's Highway and a higher than usual amount of deaths occurring there. Statistically it was found to be a little behind most US highways. And, as something is always forbidden, people were stealing the signs right and left. Renumbering the highway was in order.  At the dedication of the new highway name, George Blue Horse, a Navajo medicine man, performed a ceremony to remove the curse from the highway. In the Navajo language he stated, "The road itself never ends. It goes on generation to generation. The new number is a good one. The new road will be a medicine." From one of my favorite book series ( you need to get the book for the US or for your state ) - Weird US , comes this -   Linda Dunning,

Road Trip Horrors: Lesser Known Road Trip Horror Movies

Wind Chill Two college students share a ride home for the holidays. When they break down on a deserted stretch of road, they're preyed upon by the ghosts of people who have died there. Incident On and Off a Mountain Road   While driving in the night in a lonely road through the mountains, Ellen distracts with her radio and hits a car parked on the road. She faints and she looks for help since her car does not start again. She meets in the woods Moonface, a deranged monster-like man that collects human bodies pulling a woman. She is abducted by Moonface, but she recalls the survival lessons of her husband Bruce facing and fighting back the killer. And Soon the Darkness Two young English women go on a cycling tour of the French countryside. When one of them goes missing, the other begins to search for her. But who can she trust? 

Road Trip Horrors Week Begins!

It's getting to be that summer break time of the year and families going on road trips. Nothing more vulnerable than the open road? This week, I'm going to give you the creepiest road trips, the scariest things that can happen, and get you really unsettled. Your might re-think how much you hate taking flights. You're vulnerable as hell on the roadways, especially in the open west where you can drive hours without another soul in sight. You don't know who you'll run into.   Or what they might do to you.  Have you ever had a scary road trip happening?  I had one when I was driving to Tucson and a dust storm came. It was open desert, so the dust storm had nothing to slow it down. First, a huge tumbleweed got caught on the grill of my car and I couldn't see over it as I drove, pushing the damn thing down the highway, then the wall of dust came, huge orange beast, on me in seconds.  With a semi in front of me and a car on my bumper, I did what I was instructed to do

Dale the Doll: UFOs and Aliens

Where did this week go? I can't believe I'm down to my last blog post. I gotta get The Human to let me do this again some time. It was awesome giving you readers the real truth from a doll's point of view. This post is going to be about UFOs and aliens. You wouldn't think that dolls would care one way or the other about flying machines in the sky, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are harbingers of doom for my kind. Those alien grays that are associated with UFOs are very concerning to us dolls. They are the one being that can control dolls, because as much as humans like to think they can, they have no power over us. The grays, however, have an agenda with us dolls. I can't tell you how many thousands of dolls go missing every year; never to be heard from again. I don't know what they're doing with us, but I know that if I saw a UFO, I'd crap my pants just before I find a really good hiding place. It's my understanding that grays lik

Sex and the Single Ventriloquist Doll

It's my week of reporting and since it's Dale the Doll week, I'm gonna put a spin on The Human's stuff. On Fridays she likes to do Sex and the Single Ghost Hunter (lame). I'm going to give you what you really want, Sex and the Single Ventriloquist Doll. Let's talk about the ideal dolly. I probably shouldn't generalize, but Cabbage Patch dolls, although an appropriate size for a ventriloquist doll like me, are very feeble minded. They are limited conversationalists and tend to be rather clingy and dependent. A single successful doll like me doesn't need a dull-minded feeble doll friend. I know what you're thinking, I should probably be turned on by the baby dolls. Not really. I'm not a dolly pedophile. Would you be turned on by pigtails and toddler toes? I rest my case. Barbie, everyone guy's ideal, right? Well, not so much. This chick is high maintenance. She's got those feet that can't sit flat, accessories that get lost in the seat

Dale the Doll: Freaky Stuff

This week, I'm covering lots of stuff from horror movies to dolls and humans, cryptids to ghosts. There's some stuff in this Paranormal Geeks world that The Human cover on this blog that admittedly over the years has freaked the hell out of me. Fetus in Fetu - a condition in which a twin has absorbed part of the other twin in utero. This never happens in the doll factory! Spontaneous Human Combustion - that doesn't happen to dolls. Oh, sure, my cousin Shirley the Cupie Doll died by fire, but it's because the evil little boy in the house poured kerosene on her and lit her up. You humans, you can't control your own thermostat!     Shadow people - These little black dense, human shaped beings are reported at about 3-feet tall usually and scampering away when the human looks at them. As a doll, I freaking hate shadows. We're often left in dark rooms and our bodies cast human-like shadows. If they were to come to life -  Psychics - Oh, it's all well and good w

Dale the Doll: Cryptids

The Human loves her stuffed Bigfoot. It sleeps in her bed!  She's had me a lot longer and I never get invited in there! It gives me the heebie jeebies. Yeah, I don't like clowns, but the idea of bigger hairier humans walking around outside is enough to keep me indoors forever!  Don't even get me started with sea monsters! The bravest human I know is JC Johnson.  This dude is a total Indiana Jones meets Steve Irwin of the cryptid world. He leads a group called Crypto Four Corners and this freaking badass guy actually goes into the wilderness hoping to encounter this strange stuff.  For a human, he's okay.  Here's one creepy-ass case he's working on - What do I think of these cryptid creatures? They can't possibly exist. Why? Simple logic: Because they would have eaten all the damn meaty humans and taken over the world. Loch Ness monster? It can't exist for the simple reason that there would have to be more than one of them to remain populated and the

Dale the Doll: Mind Fuck Tuesday - Dolls and Humans

Today, I'd like to give you humans my own Mind Fuck Tuesday theory: That humans do not control dolls - dolls control humans.   Do you think dolls sit on a shelf and don't come to life until a child picks one up and gives it a play task or a ventriloquist sets one on his lap and projects his voice? Would it surprise you to know that without dolls, humans would not have creative thought? Take my Human, for instance, she thought I was just an old creepy novelty to give to her son since he liked the macabre. When she inherited me as her son grew up and moved out of the house, she avoided me, averted her eyes, but I caught her catching little glimpses of me, wondering if I might have a life inside of me. I lured her in slowly, but surely by doing some things that made her wonder if maybe I was alive. Then, she started taking me onto her blog, doing videos and writing about me. Soon, I sneaked out at night to write blog posts and she was certain I was alive. What she never knew was t

Dale the Doll: Ghosts

  This week, I'm taking over the blog and you'll get to hear how I, Dale the Doll, see the paranormal world. This is gonna be fun!  Today, I'm talking about ghosts -  I'm not sure where other dolls stand on the subject of ghosts, but I freaking know they're true . I lived in an antique store for a time and it was haunted up the wazoo. When the owners turned out the lights and went home, the place came to life with dolls running around and goofing off, but that's also when the ghosts came out. They made awful sounds, moved things around, stomped around the old wood floors, and caused a horrible draft. Sometimes, I could hear them whisper in my ear. Calling my name. Taunting me. I found a really nice old armoire to hid in until the morning. Ghosts are freaking creepy. Humans are scary enough, but dead humans ( as attractive as that concept might be ) are freaking horrifying! Some of you who've been reading this blog for years might know about the evil magic

Dale the Doll: Movies Dolls Choose

Now, I was looking through The Human's posts about movies. She looks at movies like a, well, human . I'm going to share horror movies from the doll's point of view. We like to see dolls get one-up on the humans.  My favorite might surprise you, "Poltergeist." In one of the most wicked moments in a horror movie, a clown doll drags a kid under the bed and scares the crap out of him!  I could watch that scene over and over again. The movie "Saw" is a particularly good movie because humans get tortured, and the doll on the tricycle manages to steal the movie in only a few minutes' of air time. That's the impact of the doll, humans. Don't forget that. You might be surprised to know, I regard "Psycho" as a doll movie and that's just cause mama has a creepy doll-like quality and she manages to control her son. She's better in death than life because she's joined the dolly world. There's some great movies in which huma

Dale the Doll Week!

Okay, humans, I own the blog this week. I'm gonna do this paranormal thing the right way - through a doll's eyes. I have more insight than The Human. I have some movie recommendations, will talk about paranormal subjects and info the living/breathing don't have, as well as doing my own Mind Fuck Tuesday and Sex and the Single Ventriloquist Doll. I know what you're thinking, "what can the doll-man teach me?" Everything you ever wanted to know about my kind and our special knowledge. I promise to take you to some dark places, starting with my post this afternoon about the best horror movies from a doll's point of view. 

Dead for 17 Hours!

Doctors worked furiously on the dead woman's body. Suffering two heart attacks, she showed no brainwaves at all. No heartbeat. "Calling the time of death 0130." The doctor stepped back from the patient. The techs remained to disconnect the elderly woman from all lines and monitors. "Her directives have her listed as an organ donor." The doctor nodded to the nurse who made sure the respirator continued to pump oxygen into the body and keep the organs prepared for transplant when recipients were matched. He began the protocol to cool down her body. The doctor left the room and found the family huddled together in the waiting room where he proceeded to tell them the outcome of his vigorous efforts to save their loved one. The family went in to say their goodbyes as lines were removed. Inside the room, the body remained, rigor mortis setting in, fingers curling in, skin tightening, and all the usual signs of the finality of death. More than 17 hours went by when the

Zombie Housewives of the 1970s

  Julie and I just did the photo shoot for the Zombie Housewives of the 1970s. We did Zombie Housewives of the Apocalypse and Zombie Housewives of the 1960s books with different scenarios, characters and alternate zombie worlds. This one takes total advantage of the 1970s decade and adds the zombies craze! This series of dark humor books are just a total blast, visually and plotting. And humor!  You can find our first two Zombie Housewives books on paperback on Amazon and Kindle, as well as Nook.
