The Cemetery Shortcut: A Friday Funny

So...this is totally going to be ME in the afterlife.  I understand that 'Theresa' with an 'H' isn't the more popular spelling, but its so perplexing to receive messages intended for 'Teresa' or 'Tresa' when my properly spelled name is printed right there for anyone to see, lol! I had to order a new college diploma because my name was misspelled on it...so I guess if I want to avoid this guy's fate, I need to pre-order and proofread my stone well before I actually need it!

Have a fun, safe and spooky weekend, ya'll!  There are numerous activities going on this weekend including the premier of Ghost Nation and a ghost tour in Ripley, WV by Granny Sue Holstein tonight (ghost tour also offered Saturday).  Tomorrow is the Moonville Tunnel Festival in Ohio, The Nitro Festival of Fright in Nitro, WV, a ghost tour of St. Albans, WV and the WV CASE Paranormal Expo in Morgantown, WV!  There are also plenty of other haunted house attractions and ghost tours going on throughout the tri-state.  Let me know what YOUR weekend plans are! 

Here We Go Again!

It's October!  Can you believe it?  This is my favorite month of the year....and the busiest month of the year for Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State!  If you haven't done so yet, you'll want to follow me on Facebook for 31 days full of spooky, Halloween goodness.

Each day will be a day full of posts dedicated to a new spooky topic, beginning with Edgar A. Poe today and followed by Appalachian Granny Witches tomorrow.  You'll wanna check back each day for articles, photos, discussions, and even a few giveaways!

You'll also want to check out the blog each day because once again, I've joined the Ultimate Blog Challenge!  For a whole month, I'll be posting fresh new content for your enjoyment.  New West Virginia hauntings, new paranormal photos, new book reviews, and so much more ghostly and Halloween articles are coming your way! I've failed miserably the last few times I've attempted this challenge, but October is MY month and I'm dedicated to seeing it through to the end this time.  I feel confident, but a little nervous because...

...I'm also going to be super busy this month!  I'll be attending The WV CASE Paranormal Expo in Morgantown on October 12th and I'll have a table set up at the Beckley Fall Oddities Fair on October 26th. There are a few haunted house attractions I'm planning to visit and a few ghost tours I've scheduled to attend.  I've got a few other paranormal and Halloween-related events lined up this month and I'm going to try my best to shove in as much spooky fun as possible. Of course, I'll be sharing all those experiences with YOU!

Halloween is my favorite holiday and autumn is my favorite time of the year.  I'm excited for another opportunity to spend it with you all.  Let me know down in the comments, or join the discussion over on Facebook and let me know what this October has in store for you!  Any investigations planned? Going on any ghost tours?  Seeing any spooky movies this season?  Feel free to share your plans and let us all know how YOU'RE making the most out of Spooky Season 2019.

Happy Haunting, ya'll!

Welcome, October!

BOO!  Welcome to October at Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State!  October is my favorite month, but its also my busiest month in real life AND here on the blog.  I'm excited to bring you a month FULL of spooky stories, ghost sightings, cryptozoological updates, and all things paranormal-related.

I've decided to once again give the Ultimate Blog Challenge a try.  Yep, that means that theoretically I will be posting a brand new blog each and every day for 31 days, culminating with my favorite day of the year---Halloween!  Although I did really well during the April Blog Challenge, I had to abandon my July attempt due to illness.  I'm feeling pretty good about the October challenge, though, and have already schedule-posted quite a few blogs.  So, you know you'll at least get SOME new content, even if I tap out early.

Witches, werewolves, vampires, UFOs, and of course, GHOSTS will be flooding this blog all month long, with an emphasis on stories from West Virginia.  But, if you're not from the Mountain State, don't fret---there will be haunted locations from other areas featured, as well as plenty of general ghostly goodness.  I'm actually really excited to be sharing some awesome new stories...and there will also be an occasional update to older blogs thrown in for good measure.

The fun won't end with just new blog posts!  October is full of special features over on Theresa's Haunted History Facebook, as well.  Every Wednesday, I'll be sharing a Halloween-themed ghost story from the popular site, WVGhosts.com.  Each day at 3 p.m. I'll be sharing a vintage ghost-themed Halloween graphic for your visual pleasure.  Mondays will be discussion days where I'll be asking YOU for your opinions and stories on a variety of spooky topics.  There may be a few additional surprises thrown in throughout the month as well as plenty of shares of anything and everything paranormal-related that I think you all would enjoy.

Speaking of sharing, I wanted to share the info on this adorable graphic I found to illustrate today's blog post!  I came across this and thought it was perfect for me. The image is called Super Spook, and is the work of DeviantArt artist, CodiBear. Check out CodiBear's other work and social media platforms at the link provided.

Stay spooky ya'll and have an awesome October!
