My Favorite Paranormal Themed Movies

7/29/2019

Many people ask me what are some of my favorite paranormal themed movies. Honestly, I don’t want a lot of modern or current movies or television shows, but I do have a few favorites. Not necessarily because they are true, but these are a few I do enjoy.

House on Haunted Hill 1959
The Legend of Hell House 1973
The Changeling 1980
The Omen 1976
The Amityville Horror 1979 There you have it. A few of my favorites.

Monticello Portico Member

7/29/2019

I became a Monticello Portico Member in 2019. Monticello is near and dear to my heart because I am related to Thomas Jefferson and I LOVE history. Plus, Monticello was featured in my 2nd book, Historic Haunts of the South.
I believe in preserving history, if we don’t, how will our children learn how things used to be.
I encourage you to donate your time or whatever you can afford to your favorite historic site so we can keep history alive.

Goodwin Society Member of Colonial Williamsburg

7/26/2019

I became a Goodwin Society Member of Colonial Williamsburg in 2008. Colonial Williamsburg means the world to me. I used to live here and my family, the Randolph’s, are a big and important part of this town’s history. Plus, maybe sites at Colonial Williamsburg have been featured in my Historic Haunts series.
Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin once said, “So the future may learn from the past.” I believe in that 110%. We have to preserve these beautiful historic places for our future generations.

Are you working on the 52 Week Reading Challenge? It’s a fun challenge to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I started on 1 January 2019 and I am a little head of the game.
I can recommend five books for your Reading Challenge, my Historic Haunts book series.

Historic Haunts Florida
Historic Haunts Florida II
Historic Haunts of the South
Historic Haunts of the South II
Historic Haunts of the South III

Plus, I have two more books coming out by the end of this year. Even if you don’t read my books as part of your challenger, just read. It’s a beautiful thing.

Staying Fit & Healthy Between Investigations and Book Tours & Lectures

7/15/2019

Many people ask me how I stay in shape while traveling doing investigations and book tours. Well, for me, it’s easy. I am a very active person and can’t stand sitting around. I am 5’ 7” and 120 lbs, and 40 years old. I’m the type that fitness is very important to me.
Most hotels have a gym but bed and breakfasts don’t. However, hauling cases of books and ghost hunting equipment is exercise in itself.
Also, I am a vegetarian and try very hard to eat healthy and I rarely eat fast food or sweets. I do have a weakness for Coca Cola, that is my vice.
It helps having a toddler and working from home, chasing her around off and on all day is a work out in itself.

Never Command the Spirits

7/9/2019

I have seen so many so called “paranormal investigators” command or demand a spirit to show themselves. I just want to say, this is very unprofessional and not the appropriate was to conduct an investigation. I have been professional involved in the paranormal for over 25 years and have never commanded or been with a team demanding the spirits to make themselves known.

There are a few paranormal television shows that have done or so this and it just gets under my skin. This is NOT the way to conduct yourself or your group. We at Historic Haunts Investigations do not condone this. We would never command the living and will not do so with the dead.

Please always be respectful to others, even if they are deceased.

Happy Hauntings,

Why I Became a Vegetarian

7/8/2019

I’m sure you are all wondering why I became a vegetarian and why I am doing a blog on my Historic Haunts website.
Well the reason I decided to change my life and the way I eat is because I feel all living creatures have feelings and souls, plus I could never actually kill something even if I were starving. I have ever worn leather or fur and I thought to myself why am I eating another living creature.
I don’t judge anyone who isn’t a vegetarian, this was just my personal choice and decision. Plus, I feel like I am making a difference.
