Its not haunted (to my knowledge) but if you love Tim Burton and all things dark, check out Bettlehouse on 6th street in NYC. The food is amazing. If your lucky, you might run into Edward Scissorhands. #

I had to take a quick snapshot of the only place that ever scared ME! The Andrew Jackson hotel in New Orleans was originally a boarding school/orphanage for boys who lost their parents to yellow fever. It burned down killing five young boys inside. After the fire, a U.S. federal courthouse was built where Andrew Jackson was held in contempt of court and charged with obstruction of justice. The courthouse was demolished and the hotel was built. During my stay there I experienced overwhelming doom and weird vibes. I had many electrical problems and unexplained occurrences in my room. Even the housekeeper gave me a warning about staying there. Even though I was scared during my stay, I would love to go back with host hunting team and some equipment. # # #

Who else loves Sleepy Hollow? According to early American history and folklore, Sleepy Hollow is considered to be one of the most haunted places in upstate New York. During the fall, the whole village comes alive with stories of ghosts, ghouls and of course a man without a head. I've never witnessed anything paranormal related there but it sure is a lot of fun. # #

This is where I bury the bodies.....

My signed Ghost Brothers merch. I heart them so much!

Visiting the American Horror story "Murder house" in Los Angeles was one of the highlights of this year!! I turned into a true horror nerd. I just wish visitors were allowed inside. #

This haunted spot is near and dear to my heart. Pre Covid they had picnic tables around the graveyard and being that I worked a few doors down, my bff and I would have lunch there. Trinity church and graveyard on Wall Street has a long and interesting history. It's one of the oldest cemeteries in NYC and resting place of Alexander Hamilton and a few other founding fathers. Countless spirits have been known to roam this site.There is also a tombstone that simply is labeled "Comedian " where people swear they hear laughter at night. I took these pics a few days ago during a rain storm which made the graveyard look extra gothic and beautiful. Its hard to believe more than 120,000 bodies have been buried on top of each other at this cemetery. # # #

A couple of paranormal groupies and I decided to go see a haunted site called "Pirates Alley" in Nola. This is an area between the St. Louis Cathedral and the Cabildo in New Orleans. Many people who visit this small tucked away alley claim to have seen spirits of the dead. More often they claim to see the ghosts of a priest or pirate Jean Lafitte. As you can see from my picture it was very dark and eerie that night. # #

Since I was a child, I've had a morbid curiosity about the infamous Amityville horror house. I decided to take a little trip to Long Island to see it for myself. Its such a beautiful house. Its hard to believe the atrocities that happened at this address. # #

I went on a couple of ghost hunts in Brooklyn. This one was was at the BAM Harvey theater. (Once known as the Majestic Theater back in the early 1900's) This place has a history of being haunted. The psychics who were with the Brooklyn Paranormal Society picked up on the spirits of a construction worker as well as a beautiful woman roaming the halls. # #

These are a couple of quick pics that I took in El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico. This is home of the Chupacabra. He's part primate, part kangaroo and has extremely long claws. He has a long tail and fur of a goat. Its victims are described as having a single hole in the neck and emptied out. Unfortunately, I didn't see him on this trip, but it wasn't because of lack of trying! #

This is the final resting place of Marie Laveau, a very powerful voodoo priestess who lived in New Orleans in the 19th century. Renowned in life and revered in death, some say she continues to work her magic from beyond the grave. I placed three # # #'s on her tomb and made a wish in hopes that she would grant it, as so many visitors have done before me. # #
