Ryan Buell, from the short lived "Paranormal State" might be going away for a while: http://abc11.com/1520780/ To save you time, Buell has been promoting paranormal events and conferences, and then canceling them without refunds. I watched the show during its brief run on A&E, and as soon as...

Most of you are probably familiar with Cracked.com, but in case you missed it: http://www.cracked.com/blog/ghost-hunting-in-worlds-creepiest-haunted-house/ Short version: two writers visit a purportedly haunted house after taking an online course in quackery and soon enough, hilarity ensues!

As a skeptical fan of ghost hunting, I sometimes ask myself what it would take for me to accept something as paranormal. I'm constantly amazed at the inane experiments that "paranormal investigators" or "ghost hunters" do to convince themselves that they have a ghost. Let me list a few off the...

Skepbitch has an excellent review of ghost hunter Maryanna Chatelaine Moresby's article "Sex after ghost hunting – exorcisms of a womb or anal ghosts: And when is the right time to have sex afterwards?" A pleasant read.
