Creepy Trees

I am a tree freak and, yes, I do hug them! I also find them fascinating when they take on anthropomorphic twists and turns that give me chills and thrills. Here's just some such trees -

The 1970s brought us a strange and unexpected sphere that was both not publicly talked about and also never solved. The Betz Sphere is still a mystery to this day.

Winter and Christmas-Themed Horror Movies

After all the Halloween-based horror movie viewing, I suggest you change gears to winter and Christmas-themed ones. Here's just some -

There are some repeated qualities described in Bigfoot that have led me come to the conclusion they are hybrids. There are interesting variations in descriptions of them, enough to make me wonder about what happens when two divergent beings within a species mate and what the results can be in the form of "defects," "exaggerated features," to "unusual size." It would appear that hybridization is a logical conclusion when you consider the following -

Amazing Woodpiles

It's time to stack the woodpile. Some woodpiles, however, are stacked with beauty in mind. Let's have a look at these wonders -

Ghost Hunting Theories: In the Field

I put together this short video summarizing just some of the highlights of running this special blog. Here is Ghost Hunting Theories - in the Field!

As a researcher, I'm only as meticulous as my research but I must be balanced by my investigations. Going out in the field and experiencing it an action changes the perspective greatly.

And it's not just ghosts I'm chasing. I chase horror, abandoned sites, lectures, Bigfoot, UFOs, publishing, documenting, recovering, exploring, and more.

GHT in the field - expect even more this coming year!

We are well into hot cocoa weather. It's not just a cup of sweet wonder, but a beautiful sentimental ritual. Today's post is going to delve deeply into the best hot cocoa recipes in the world and the best treats to accompany them, all hot cocoa-themed!

Woodland Crafts: Making Art From the Forest

You want to decorate your home? Materials are free in your own back yard.

I grew up with a father who was Norwegian. In fact, his father changed their last name in 1928 after coming to America so that they would have an American name, thus I am Day and not Thorvaldsen. He was determined we had smorgasbord on Christmas Eve, opening the gifts that night. The only gifts on Christmas morn were Santa's gifts unwrapped. I love the look, feel and traditions of Scandinavian Christmas. Some of my grandmother's Swedish rituals and items were added to the mix. Let's have a look -

Easy Christmas Crafts

It's a long weekend and a good time to hunker down and start some beautiful handmade creations for the season. I'm sharing some ones that I find to be invaluable to the Christmas crafter -

In 2014, a strange enormous hole developed in the permafrost in Siberia. Later, more of these huge holes were found.

Haunted Shirley: Throws Herself

I'm not sure how Haunted Shirley feels about our move, but I was on the floor, tightening some screws on some drawers. I was 18 inches from her cart. She was on the cart, about 6 inches from the edge. While I'm leaning over on the floor working on this drawer, not touching her area at all, she came down on my head, having traveled about 2' total. Her porcelain head clanked my skull. Ow!

Journey to the Center of the Earth Week: Hollow Earth?

Is another world within our earth possible?

NEW EPISODES - MST3K

Season 12 will begin tomorrow and the five major characters wil return to give us the most hilarious commentary on some of the goofiest films to come along.

Thanksgiving just got better!

Journey to the Center of the Earth Week: The Spanish Mummies

This extraordinary story about a most unusual collection of mummies including giant ones and rather alien-looking ones is not a story from the 1800s or early 1900s. This is from the 2000s. And it will be told by the person who took the photographs, a researcher I highly respect. Be prepared to be amazed.

Thanksgiving Memes

Enjoy some holiday fun -

Caves are more than the sites of mines and ancient hieroglyphs, the burial places of giants, and homes for bats. They can also be haunted. And, why not? In desperate times, caves were utilized for sanctuary and sometimes standoffs and, given the geology, they seem like ideal vessels in a feng shui sort of way, to retain and hold a kind of amplified haunting that is held captive in a cul-du-sac formation. I am utterly fascinated with the haunted cave phenomena. I cannot think of a better spirit vessel.

Let's have a look at some more infamous haunted caves....

Journey to the Center of the Earth Week: Potential Openings to Earth's Center?

The openings to the center of earth or hollow earth have been explored by man since the prehistoric times, no doubt. The idea of finding another world underground is an attractive concept, a very romantic notion about our amazing planet. Let's have a look at what some folks believe to be the entrances to earth's interior -

Journey to the Center of the Earth Week: Is It Possible?

Admittedly, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (the 1959 version based on the Jules Verne novel), is one of my favorite movies of all time. As a kid, I could watch it every time it came on and now I own it on disk, so I can see it endlessly!

Blog Entry Saturday: Requests to Santa

It's that time of year when we reflect on our childhood Christmases and those we miss at this time of year who are no longer with us. I tend to look at my relationship with the red-suited man over the years.

Most Disturbing Clown Movies

From the white face to the maniacal laughter and drawn on tears, clowns have always had an unsettling reaction to children and adults alike. I don't know if we ever get over that discomfort as we grow older. From the bright hair, colorful billowing clothing and big shoes to the painted on smile, we inherently know something is amiss.

Buried Alive! Horrifying True Tales

Buried alive - a concept out of a horror movie. But it has happened. Let's take a look at some of those horrifying cases -

Ancient Giant Axes and Hammers

Source: Apparently, these are the largest stone tools yet found and there have been many huge ones around the world. Who wielded these, do you suppose?

My Foray Into Film Industry

Life takes the strangest twists and turns. And then you survey the paths and realize that they branch from the same tree. In fact, there is a saying that there are no obstacles in your path, the obstacles ARE the path. So very true!

In 2006, the Chinese sent thousands of seeds into space by satellite. After they germinated, they chose the best seeds to breed. What resulted from this was rather astonishing - giant vegetables!

Review "Krampus Origins"

I admit, I adore the concept of Krampus and the legendary figure. I was stoked to hear about the release of "Krampus Origins." I was even more pleased to be asked to attend the cast and crew viewing at Sun Studios of Arizona.

A Canadian inventor, John Hutchison, experimented and discovered - “a highly-anomalous electromagnetic effect which causes the jellification of metals, spontaneous levitation of common substances, and other effects.”

Tiny Terrors: Evil Little Monsters

Horror movies, they often focus on maniacal killers or large imposing monsters. But, some of the most chilling ones involve the wee ones, the tiny monsters -

Blog Entry Saturday: Photographing Winter Cemeteries

Cemeteries are thoughtful, respectful, and solemn memorials to all the lovely lives that have inhabited this planet at various points in time. There is no better time to photograph such a quiet and still location as the cold and barren wintertime. Here's some tips -
