Gleaning information from a number of "Top 10" articles and photo-shows, as well as several individual sites, here are the five areas I think warrant this [...]
The Spectre Must Go On »
Hark! Is that a ghost I hear, treading the boards? Howdy! I'm Larissa Lyons and it's time for more paranormal happenings and hauntings across the globe. I'm guessing my introductory line gave it away, but I'll ask anyway... Do not-quite departed souls enjoy a good rendition of Shakespeare as much as their more corporal counterparts? You bet [...]

Or more specifically, the area [...]
Oft Ghostly & Ghastly…the Haunted Tower of »
Famed more for who died there than who lived there, the notorious Tower of London easily makes the short list when people debate the most haunted places on earth. Though it took centuries to complete the towers and grounds recognizable today, the original central structure known as the "White Tower" was built in 1078 by William the [...]
A Polynesian island…Paranormal or not? »
To haunt means to hang around, frequent, visit regularly...think of favorite stomping grounds...a rendezvous or hang out place (I created this casual list after haunting my favorite thesaurus a time or two. :-) Howdy! I'm Larissa Lyons and every second Saturday, I'll be blogging on “World Hauntings & Paranormal Places”—those beyond [...]
