Scary Movies Set in Abandoned Places

"Disappearance" A family stops at a Nevada ghost town and are terrorized. Harry Hamlin & Susan Dey.

Movies based in abandoned towns, ghost towns, abandoned houses - they are a great late-night watch. Here's an extensive list -

South Carolina is bringing a fantastic autumnal event - South Carolina Bigfoot Festival, October 9th and 10th, 2026 in Westminster, SC.

Here we are, at a finale again! Time flies! Let's have a look at what happened to wrap it up for the season....

Inspired Halloween Costumes and How to Halloween Makeup

Today, I'm going to share some costumes that inspire your creativity, and also share where to find ones that you don't have to construct yourself. Find a place to go this Halloween or have your own party, but be sure and dress up and be someone else for the evening!

Disclosure Day about "Disclosure Day" From a Real-Life Experiencer!

First of all, when it comes to "Disclosure Day," I bought into the hype, the timing, and the director, Steven Spielberg. Interviews repeatedly said, he did serious homework, but honestly he can never actually know the phenomenon with all the researching in the world. It's rather like those who have seen a Bigfoot versus those who belief and study the conversation and think they know it.

Giant Birds: Thunderbirds, Piasa Bird, Pterodactyls

Lots of unverified supposed vintage photos of thunderbird captures by army corp engineers and cowboys have been passed around the internet for decades, but did such a creature really exist?

Consciousness: We Use Mindspeak Every Day and I Will Prove It!

A lot is being talked about lately regarding consciousness, a function of daily life that seems almost mystical when you try to break down what is is, where it comes from, and if it survives after death.

Is There No Such Thing As Present or Future, Only Past?

Once I was asked about time and I said, I don't believe in it. I think we use time to measure attrition. This is more or less a measurement for a world filled with mortal beings and days measured by sunlight and darkness, aging, nearing mortal end.

Here, I am proposing this simple observation - is there such a thing as present time or future?

Some of the most practical understanding of the Forest People comes from the gentlest souls. Considering Bigfoots tolerate us hunting, riding ATVs, and camping in their homes, one must assume they are gentle souls who know their strength and stealth, yet appreciate their fellow woodland dwellers.

Why the Ancient Giants Coverup? Explained!!!

In all my decades of studying clues about the ancient giants, it took me stepping back to see the global picture to realize why governments, religions, and educational institutions (the controlliing trinity) would want to bury (literally and figuratively) the ancient giants and their implications. I will present my conclusions here -

Russian Unexplained Mysteries

Russia's paranormal aspects are as dynamic as its politics.

Here's some bizarre mysteries of this ancient land -

Art by Shawn McCrae

The graphic artist who did the banner at the top of my blog also made this fantastic design that I will be printing into a large poster for my home office. If you look closely into the letters, you see the subjects of many posts on here!

I will be working with Shawn on many projects, including some films I have written. When you find someone who gets your vision without having to babysit, who gives you things you never imagined putting into a work of art, you've found a skilled talent!

When I told her that I wanted a Ripley's Believe it or Not feeling banner, she did one try - and it was perfection!

She also designed my business card for GHT.

I've relocated to Georgia and I am sooooo in love with it! Having grown up in Virginia, it feels like home. The beauty and slower pace, the kind people, the weather, the green, the seasons - it's a dream! I'm settling in and finishing some screenwriting deadlines, but I will soon be (as it cools in late August) hitting the road to explore abandoned sites, a very active Bigfoot site, check out a Bigfoot museum, battlefields, haunted locations, and more! I may be picking up the Ghost Hunting Theories YouTube channel again as I investigate all things unexplained in the Southeast after decades in the Southwest.

Two of my screenplays are slated to be filmed with the start of the new year and I cannot wait until I'm in a position to talk about them. I work with some of the most talented folks who can bring my screenplays to life in ways even I can't imagine.

From autumn and onward, expect me to share many finds, new research, and the design of my special spooky filmmaker's home office once we purchase a home here.

My last home office mural I did was fun, but the one I'll be doing for my new home office will be over the moon! And, I will be sharing the shopping experience as I search for the right eclectic elements to go into the office/world control center for GHT and our films.

There are a few expeditions and documentaries, as well as docuseries I am working on. I promise to continue to find subject matter that piques your curiosity and keeps you asking more about the mysteries of our universe.

Thanks for being such devoted readers!

Oh, and be ready for September and October - daily spooky and fascinatingly Halloween'esque reads!

Review "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" S7E13 "Heating Up"

I was pleased by last week's episode and contemplating what might be going on at the ranch. I still ponder if there is intelligent interaction or if their actions create reactions within the framework of the physics of the ranch.

Georgia Bigfoot: Why Bigfoot Settled Where They Did

Now that I am relocated in Georgia from Phoenix, one of the many exciting things about being here is having better access to interactions and studies of the what-seems-magical forest friends.

Autumn Trees Individual Colors: Why do Trees Change Colors?

Ah, autumn - the great reward for heat, humidity, and insects. Let's look forward to the individual beauty of many different trees -

Ozark Howler

There is nothing like a mysterious cryptid whose legend lasts over time. Southern Missouri to Northern Arkansas (and sometimes Eastern Oklahoma and south into Texas) has such a legend.

Rating the Halloween Decor by Store: 2026

Let's check out what the stores are sporting for Halloween this year. It's always fun to see what style trends are happening. My favorite is Victorian gothic.

Camping Hacks

Let's face it - it's camping time of year. Often, we pack for these events the same way as every year, but perhaps it's time to find easier and more elegant ways to load up -

Georgia's Haunted Battlefields and How to Read Spirit Energy

My upbringing at my childhood home, "Aspen Grove" in Fairfax, Virginia set the stage for my obsession with battlefields and history.

America's Creepiest Museums

If you consider yourself a bit of a museum buff, but you also hold a fascination for the creepy or unexplained, there are some museums you might want to hit this springtime that will give you knowledge and chills. Here's just a few in the USA.

Buckle up! The team was in hot pursuit in this episode!

Marcia K. Moore caught my attention as a researcher. Her forensic reconstruction and utilizing 3D printing techniques have resulted in the most amazing portrayals of lost people.

Gaslight-Themed Horror Movies

GASLIGHTING: Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.

Review "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" S7E11 "On the Radar"

Skinwalker Ranch, the gift that keeps giving! Thank you Brandon Fugal, the research team at the ranch, and History Channel!

Blanket Fort Movie Marathon

There's probably a zillion ways to make a blanket fort (ask any kid), but when you're an adult it becomes more than a house within a house, it becomes a romantic getaway.

I get flat sheets from Goodwill and use push pins to drape off areas. You can drape twinkle lights and mound pillows, or you can simply blanket fort a recliner. It seriously ups the atmosphere.

If you make it a movie marathon watching zone with perhaps some takeout Chinese or pizza, you're ready to have a slumber party with your partner.

Nature's Spooky Harbingers of Autumn and Halloween Nature DIY Crafts

It's not autumn yet, but the shadows seem a bit longer, the days a miniscule shorter, and the anticipation is building for spookier and moody days. There are some amazing nature-based components that say "autumn is coming" to me. Here's some of them -

The Oldest Documented Human Ever! How Long Can We Live?

Jeanne Calment - France - (1875-1997) 122 years and 164 days. This is truly amazing. Look at this pic - she smoked cigarettes!

Tennessee Wildman Con 2026

Yay! The cryptid event season has begun.

August 8, 2026 in McMinville, TN at the Milner Recreation Center will be Tennessee Wildman Con.

Was the Kandahar Giant Real?

The Kandahar giant "legend" was widely spread on the Internet and without real names and details, it becomes just that - a legend. But, there may be ways to discern if this event ever happened.

Phenomecon September 2026

If you are looking for paranormal events around the US, it's getting to that autumn time in coming months when a lot of these will be popping up. I'll be sure to let y'all know so you can decide where to go. If you're interesting in the Utah region, this is your event!
