Happy April, everyone! This month, GD has begun reporting from his midnight patrol on our X feed. But that's the least mysterious of the happenings at the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum! So stop on by!

And now, here are my top five picks for paranormal news of the week!

1. Haunting questions around Ohio's Serpent Mound. Some folks still wonder if this ancient earthwork holds more than just historical secrets—maybe a few lingering energies too. It's one of those spots that keeps sparking debate.

   
   

2. A review of When We Spoke to the Dead: How Ghosts Gave American Women Their Voice, a book digging into the American spiritualist movement. It's one of our favorite periods, largely because we have so many artifacts from that era right here in the museum. The review captures how those séances and spirit voices helped shape things in ways that still feel relevant.

   
   

3. Was Atlantis located in the Sahara Desert? This theory points to the Eye of the Sahara, that big circular formation in Mauritania, and tries to match it up with Plato's descriptions of rings and floods. It makes for some fun armchair exploring, even if the details don't all line up perfectly.

   
   

4. Ghostly activity in a Brazilian kitchen? A family caught some odd movements on camera that have people talking. Nothing like a little unexplained kitchen chaos to make you double-check your own pots and pans at home.

   
   

5. Another Nessie sighting? Someone filming by Loch Ness picked up a fast-moving shape cutting through the water against the waves. The folks who study the loch say they've never seen anything local move quite like that. Always good for a chill down the spine.

Reading about all these strange happenings around the world makes me think back to some of the odder cases right here at the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum.

If you're enjoying these weekly dispatches and want more ghostly mysteries with a side of small-town sleuthing, you might like the stories I've lived through myself in the Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum cozy mystery series.

Swing by the museum in San Benedetto sometime—we've got signed copies on the shelves, and I'd love to chat about your own spooky encounters.
