Paranormal Herstory: Zora Neale Hurston: From Harlem to Haiti -5/5
I really appreciated learning more about Zora Neale Hurston and her history with studying magical practices.

Ouijamania in 1920: A Prhobiiton-Era Panic by Chris Amandier - 5/5
This article also known as "ways for eugenists to get rid of people they deemed undesierable." This was so well written and researched. I loved the author's use of sarcasm in this as well. This was really enlightening and does remind me A LOT of the Satanic Panic.

Gender Existentialism: A Glance at Transgender Representation in the Occult and Paranormal Field by Al Becker - 5/5
I want to thank Al for taking the time to explain transgender non-binary. I've researched it a bit but it was nice to learn about it from someone who identifies as that even though it is not their job to teach us. This was a really good read and I HIGHLY recommend it.

The Heart of a Collection by Deanna Erskine - 5/5
This was really touching and interesting to read. I'm so sorry for Deanna and her losses and her collection sounds so fascinating.

My Paranormal and Archetypal Journey with the Vampire by Krista Schwimmer - 5/5
This was really interesting. The idea of the vampire manifesting as the shadow side was really fascinating.

One Foot in the Logical, One Foot in the Mystical: A Personal Paranormal Philosophy by Charlotte Grace - 5/5
I like that phrase. It gives us a way to look at something from both perspectives and not jumping straight to something being completely paranormal.

Supernatural British Colombia by Gina Armstrong and Victoria Vancek - 5/5
I love learning about haunted history outside the U.S./Europe! This was a really interesting look at Canada's ghosts and ghost stories.

A Terrifying Turning Point by Kenzie Gleason - 5/5
You ever realize someone is a lot stronger and braver than you? Yeah Kenzie is way stronger than I am cause after I saw that photo I would have BOOKED it out.

A Love that Does Not Die by Victoria Mundae - 5/5
This was a really nice story. It's sad that the author has the knowledge of an upcoming loved one's passing but it's good that she is able to get that closure.

A History of Hoaxes by Amanda R. Woomer - 5/5
I love seeing how people used spirit photography and tricks to trick others. The fairy ones always crack me up.

My Home Away From Home by Melissa Lathrop - 5/5
Wow that picture of the ghost was incredible. I like how different people feel connected to this site and want to honor it.

Artwork as Spirit Communication by Marianne McCarthy - 5/5
I like how the author uses old time photo's taken in the Victorian era to understand spirits and the workings of spirit photography.

The Ghosts of Halifax Harbor by Heddy Johannesen - 5/5
This was really intersting. It's sad that Titanic passengers who weren't first class were stilled treated as second class citizens even in death. The explosion was intersting and I liked learning these stoires.

The True Alchemist Stone by Tiffiny Rose Allen - 5/5
I always find the formation of stones and their meaning to be so interesting. I really enjoyed this.

The Importance of Knowing Your Ghosts by Lorien Jones - 5/5
I agree that it is really important we know the spirits we are connecting with and their history. It makes the investigations feel more rounded.

Shining a Light on Death's Door by Amanda Hellewell-King - 5/5
This was pretty comforting and I like how they compared the lives of those who died in this place to the inevitable that will happen to us.

A Paranormal Investigation of the Martha Inn by Hannah "Ahboo" Kathleen - 5/5
I love learning the history of places and seeing people discuss theirs or others paranormal experiences.

At the End of His Bed by Vanessa Rowan - 5/5
Haha that's a big NOPE for me. That story actually freaked me out a little.

Really fascinating and a goo reminder to be careful to what and who we communicate with.

Under His Skin: The Life and Death of the Salem Seer by Kristin Harris - 5/5
I really enjoyed this history about Spiritualism and one of the people who benefited from it. I love stories like this.
