Paranormal News! 30 August
Amidst all the usual craziness in the news, the paranormal crazy just keeps on coming. So here's my top five roundup of this week's paranormal news! 1) Do not storm Area 51. Repeat after me: do NOT storm Area 51. But since no one listens to me (sigh), a second Nevada county has declared a state of emergency in the face of the upcoming "Storm Area 51" event, which aims to... release kidnapped aliens from the military's not-so-secret site? 2) Is the infamous home from The Conju

Paranormal News! Aug 16th, 2019
Welcome to your paranormal news for the week. I'm super excited about this week's batch of news, because item number one is simply... inspiring! At least, it's inspiring if you run a paranormal museum... 1) The York Ghost Merchants opens today in the historically haunted city of York, and what does it sell? Ghosts, of course! Yes, you can buy your own, unique ghost to take home. (Now why didn't I think of that for the museum?) 2) Archaeologists are still digging up interestin

Paranormal News! 26 July
Welcome to another week of the strange, oddball, and just plain paranormal! A lot of aliens and cryptozoology this week, so let's get started! 1) The Loch Ness Monster, captured on sonar! (Maybe) 2) And a Bigfoot howl captured in Kentucky? 3) So, the whole, "let's storm Area 51 and set the aliens free" thing turned out to be a joke gone awry. (Much like the Rosecrucians, but with the possibility of death by US military). Here's how this joke went so badly wrong. 4) And speaki

Happy Independence Day (belated), America! Here's this week's paranormal news. 1) Paranormal investigator claims demonic hauntings are EXTREMELY rare. So... that's good news. 2) Seen over Colorado and caught on a security camera, something plummeting from the sky and then suddenly banking left. Is it a UFO? 3) In entertainment news, The Good Witch was renewed for a sixth season on Hallmark Channel. 4) Gatlinburg will host the first ever Bigfoot conference in the Smoky Mountai

Paranormal News! 29 June, 2019
Maybe Susan from Wits' End should start taking over this blog, because it sure has been filling up with UFO news... 1) Strange objects seen over Kansas City, and no one seems to have any answers... 2) And Joe Rogan interviews Bob Lazaar, who is crediting with bringing Area 51 to the attention of UFO enthusiasts. And Bob's story is... out of this world. 3) Thinking of witchcraft as a career? It's not all spell casting and Tarot reading. There's also Instagram... 4) UFO museum

Paranormal News! 22 June 2019
Welcome to another week of paranormal news from the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum! We've got ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs and entertainment news! 1) Woman faints in a paranormal museum (not mine) after being touched by an orb. Is this video evidence of the paranormal? As a side note, at the San Benedetto museum, we only run our video cameras at night, after the museum has closed. 2) Have you heard the mournful call of Bigfoot? No? (Me neither, alas). Then maybe you should go to In

Paranormal News: 14 June
I know, I've been a little off schedule with my usual paranormal news. But things have been crazy at the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum. A team of ghost hunters flooded the bathroom in the tearoom next door, and the orbs have gone crazy. (The owner of the tearoom hasn't been too happy about it either). Anyway, my top five paranormal news picks are here! 1) Too bizaare (and weirdly funny) not to share. A woman's outdoor security camera catches... a drunken alien? Dobby the ho

Whew! With all the chocolate and murder, I've had to take a hiatus from posting. But I'm back this week with my top five in paranormal news. 1) First, in honor of St. Paddy's, there's a hidden leprechaun house at Disneyland in Anaheim! It looks more like a tree than a house, but... 2) An interesting article from the BBC on the witch trials in Scotland. 3) And speaking of witches... Here's an article on a new photography collection of modern American witches. 4) Fact or faked?

Paranormal News! 11 January 2019
The Paranormal Museum is back from hiatus after the Doyle Witches took over the blog. It's hard to compete with, well, that tale. But I'm game for trying with this week's paranormal news! 1) The witch who solved a murder... It sounds like the title of one of Kirsten Weiss's stories, but this tale of modern Salem witch, Laurie Cabot, is weirdly true. 2) And speaking of witches and murder, was witchcraft an element in this Texas killing? 3) 5 myths about witch hunts. In honesty

Paranormal News! 30 November
Did you know the Victorians had a tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve? Maybe it's because winter was the traditional spooky season back in the day. Cold. Darkness. Not a lot of food. At the paranormal museum, starting December 1st, we're exploring the supernatural elements of the holiday season -- from St. Nick to Grylla the Christmas Ogress. So stop on by! In the meantime, here's your weekly roundup of paranormal news: 1) 2018 is the 30th anniversary of the S

I'll be honest. It was a slow news week for the paranormal world, and I really had to struggle for these crumbs. I'm not asking for your pity, just explaining why this is so alien-heavy. 1) Several airplane pilots flying into Ireland spotted a UFO. The sighting is currently being investigated, though some are saying it was most likely a meteor. 2) Fed up with shadowy government investigators, a billionaire is funding is own initiative to seek alien life. 3) A doorbell camera

Whew! I'm relaxed and refreshed after some post-Halloween downtime. The San Benedetto Paranormal Museum is back in business with more paranormal news! 1) A sleep-away witch camp for adults? Have we reached peak witch yet? 2) Apparently not. Yet another article on how witchcraft is on the rise, because... feminism. (Honestly, there've been so many of these articles, I'm starting to feel guilty posting them here. Somewhere, some poor PhD student has got to be working on a thes

Paranormal News! 26 October
Don't get me wrong. I love October. It's the beginning of pumpkin spice season. Plus, Halloween! But Halloween season in a paranormal museum is... wow. Just... wow. All I want to do right now is curl up with a good cozy mystery -- preferably something that is NOT paranormal. Maybe The Quiche and the Dead? Anyhoo, onward to this week's paranormal news! 1) When science and Halloween collide... October 31st is the official Dark Matter Day, and scientists will be celebrating the

Paranormal News! 19 October
Halloween fun seems to be crowding out the actual "news" of odd paranormal happenings this week. So this week's list is more "about the paranormal" than "news of the paranormal." But 'tis the season, so why fight it? 1) A roundup of reported paranormal road hazards in the UK. 2) What the heck are shadow people? 3) 🛸Why do we see mysterious lights in the sky? 🛸 4) Ghost-tour guides share their spookiest, real life experiences. 5) The mythology of the doppleganger (sorry, I d

We're back from Italy! It was so much fun traveling with my Italian-American friend who's a practicing Streaga (an Italian witch). But she did tend to take me to the most creeptastic places, like the spooky gardens of Villa Cimbrone, in Ravello. It was... weird. Maybe some day I'll tell you about it. But enough about me. Onward to this week's paranormal news! 1) The house of John Proctor, the man accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials and pressed to death, is goi

1) Not convinced your house is haunted? Here are five signs of ghosts you may have overlooked. 2) September 29th is National Ghost Hunting Day! Yes, it's for real, and held on the last Saturday in September. 3) And in entertainment news, my all-time favorite vampire comedy, What We Do in the Shadows, is being made into a TV show based in NYC. Let's hope it doesn't lose its quirky New Zealand charm. 4) Are ghosts causing traffic accidents on Englands M6? Hm... 5) It may seem l

Paranormal News! 21 September
Paranormal mystery abounds in the wild world of all things supernatural. But since this blog is bound by time and space, I limit my weekly roundup to my personal top five paranormal news stories. So, from the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum, it's the paranormal news of the week! 1) Rapper believes he's cursed after visiting a paranormal museum. Not the San Benedetto paranormal museum -- all our cursed objects have been psychically "cleansed" by our paranormal collector, Herb.
