  • S4 Ep7: An Early End to the Macabre Museums Season

    S4 Ep7: An Early End to the Macabre Museums Season
    Mar 16 2022
    I had intended to include two more episodes in the Macabre Museums season. One about true crime Museums and a finale of paranormal museums.
    However, instead, I’ve decided to cut the season short for a couple of reasons. I won’t go into all of the nitty-gritty details but I will say that my family and I have endured a couple of health scares lately. It’s kind of pulled the world back into focus and made me reassess my priorities.
    So for now as I regroup and recalibrate, I’m putting the podcast on hold to concentrate on my family, my health, and my writing. 
    You can still jaunt with me online anytime at HauntJaunts.net, though.
    I really do appreciate you sailing the airwaves with me, whether it was during any of this season’s episodes or any of the others.
    And I do hope to catch back up with you again soon so I won’t say farewell forever but rather my usual, until our paths cross again, ciao for now.

  • S4 Ep6: Museums Where Monsters and Mythical Creatures Roam

    S4 Ep6: Museums Where Monsters and Mythical Creatures Roam
    Mar 9 2022
    What is a monster? The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a monster as “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.”
    Which is also what makes monsters fascinating, right? Their frightening aspect. 

    But also the fact that they may not be imaginary after all. They may actually be real.

    In this episode, we visit museums where monsters roam free --in our imaginations at least. 

    Stops include:

    1. Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Inverness, Scotland
    2. The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum and Coffee Shop in Bildudalur, Iceland
    3. International Mermaid Museum in Aberdeen, Washington
    4. The Miyoshi Mononoke Museum in Miyoshi, Japan - which features yokai (monsters) and yurei (ghosts) from Japanese folklore
    5. The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland
    6. Flatwoods Monster Museum in Baxton, West Virginia
    7. International Monster Museum in Salem, Massachusetts
    8. Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada
    9. Distortions Monster World in Denver, Colorado
    10. The Long Island Monster Gallery in Mineola, New York
    11. International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine - The world's only cryptozoology museum
    12. Merrilyn Cryptid Museum - a one-of-kind online-only fictional exhibit that you have to see to believe.
