GHOST HUNTERS

Whether we want to accept it or not, there are only two ways we can take the subject of Bigfoot; either they are the world's most exceptionally shy and elusive tribe OR Bigfoot is a hoax perpetuated by thousands of people and continued today for reasons that are unclear. Talk about a world of insanity! No wonder Bigfootery has attracted everyone from charlatans and thieves, opportunists and killers to philosophers and intellects, artists to weekend archaeologists. Did you ever hear the phrase, "you can't be sorta pregnant?" Bigfoot either does or does not exist. Given those two options, we can make only two conclusions; exceptional skills that exceed our own crafty ones or has never existed but is a mass urban legend chased by well meaning believers of the Cult of Bigfoot. Mass Covert Operation? If Bigfoot is the most elusive of man's family, how does he do it with our population growth, dwindling wildlife, and so many meatheads rushing in to try and capture them ...

In Laos, in a remote valley, there are a number of ancient "jars" made of stone littering the ground. There are not just a few, there are thousands. Who did these and why, is a great mystery. What they do know is that they appear to date from the 500 BC to perhaps 200 AD time period.  They cannot discern this with certainty other than the style of carving. This carving is called Frogman One theory, based on the remains of bodies found in the area and stone lids, is that these were somehow utilized as a vessel to render a body down and store it after death. Locals report this - (source) -  Locals, on the other hand, have more exciting philosophies. Some say the stone vessels were created to brew potent rice wine to celebrate the victory of a band of mythical giants over their enemies; others say the jars held whisky for a thirsty giant who lived in the mountains above Phonsavan . And, here we are back with ancient giant references and it would seem the megalithic builders ...

Halloween is THE season for most of us into the paranormal realms of study. In fact, in Julie Ferguson's and my book, " Paranormal Geeks ," there is a whole chapter on how geeks celebrate the season and we spoke to lots of geeks about how they do up All Hallow's Eve.  I have always enjoyed special effects makeup and costuming, romance and the colorful moody season of autumn, so costume-designing is my happy place. In fact, I start planning months ahead to piece together just the right look, to either live out a fantasy or put a creative bend on horror. Some costumes are born from your "look." I have red hair and an autumn leaf tattoo, so the concept of being one with the autumn forest is a costume that is appealing. Look at your hair's texture and color, your tattoos, your general fashion look and evolve something that is second nature to you. Here is a prop-oriented costume . Dale the Doll needed a companion and who better than The Human as a fellow dol...

The human body is the single best barometer of the unexplained. We have many senses animals have for picking up vibes in our environment, but daily overstimulation from many sources makes us too distracted to take note.  But, when we sit in a haunted location in the dark and the quiet, we might feel something is watching, turn and see something, hear, smell something. We recognize 5 mediocre senses, but what of other senses, ones that involve chemistry, electrical, skin pores, sinuses, joints, and more?  Our ability to perceive hauntings and our audio, cameras and video inability to capture what we encounter says much about the amazing chemical and electrical combination of us biological entities versus calibrated instruments with only one input and one interpretation process.  Any true psychic will tell you that, we aren't certain how we are getting images, feelings, knowledge and sounds, but we know that our ability to interpret this serendipitous input is wha...

The 1980s ushered in the biggest wave of horror movies ever. They ran the gamut from supernatural and religious themes to stalker, slasher and monster themes. Some of the more obscure but memorable actors seemed to have faded away. What are they doing now? Gremlins This 1984 cult favorite was a whole new kind of fun for horror. Gremlins has gone on to be a classic. But, what happened to the actor who played Billy Peltzer?  Zach Galligan is now 52 years old, a graduate of Columbia University. He went on to do a few more movies - "Waxwork," "Nothing Lasts Forever," and other parts through the years and up until today. He is married and living in New York. An American Werewolf in London "An American Werewolf in London" was considered a technical breakthrough in horror movies with a mechanical prosthetic-style werewolf transformation that was positively visceral. It also had quirky characters, like Jack Goodman, the hiking buddy who dies and then haunts his fr...

More often than not, people make assumptions about haunted locations. They see an anguished or tragic history and say, "this place has to be haunted!" And, so, a parade of teams study Eastern State Penn or Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum until the buildings are nothing more than haunted by eager teams. But, what if there was a way to narrow the field of potential haunted locations before you even try them out? What if you found a new location and wondered, "could it be haunted?" Without even setting up a cursory investigation, there are ways to go through a checklist and determine - does this place have the right elements to be a haunted vessel? In 2009, I took 50 of the most repeatedly reported haunted locations in America and looked for common features. I created what I called the Haunted Formula.  By looking at the common features of these locations, I learned that, a building can have a tragic history and not be haunted or it can be haunted and there seemed to b...
