Blog Profiles: Paranormal Investigation Blogs
Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, we select a topic and handful of blogs that do a great job contributing to the conversation. Our latest edition features a few paranormal investigation blogs you should check out. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tweet our writers at @BeyondBylines.
Now that October has hit, I’m back in the spooky mood. I’ve been watching a lot of urban exploration videos (some of which can be pretty creepy, see: Exploring Abandon Mines and Unusual Place’s “Creepy Sounds…” video.)
I’m also pretty sure the office building where I work is haunted — the Deer Hunter USA machine randomly starts making noises when nobody has touched it.
I thought the best way to get into the creepy spirit (and possibly rid my office building of ghosts) would be to cover some paranormal investigation blogs.
1. Colonial Williamsburg Ghost Tour Blog
Colonial Ghosts prides itself on retelling forgotten historical events and dispelling historical inaccuracies. This blog acts as a companion to the ghost tours this company hosts. It includes a great amount of historical information about the different areas in Williamsburg.
The tour guides also have participated in paranormal investigations with the Virginia Paranormal Investigation team and have recorded previous investigations on their blog.
Some interesting blog posts are: The Wren Building and Hangman’s Path Investigation

2. Theresa’s Haunted History of the Tri-State
Located in Huntington, West Virginia, Theresa is the historical research manager for Huntington Paranormal Investigations and Research (which has its own blog here).
Like the previous blog, Theresa provides a lot of historical context. She also provides an easy-to-navigate side bar, which allows you to take a look into some of HPIR’s paranormal investigations.
One really nice thing about this blog is that the posts are well-informed and rather frequent (so you won’t be waiting a couple months – or even a year – between blog posts).
Some posts I liked were: Mothman Festival 2018 and My Toilet is Possessed by the Devil

3. Living Life in Full Spectrum
Sara is a paranormal investigator from Melbourne (Australia). She set up this blog to chronicle her time spent as an investigator and make her research and thoughts on the unknown aware to the general public.
One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about her blog is that she does her own type of paranormal journalism (imo). She showcases conversations and discussions she’s had with other investigators, to provide multiple different thoughts and perspectives on what it means to be a paranormal investigator, which I haven’t seen on many other paranormal investigation blogs.
Some posts I loved were: Ultrasonic sound and the paranormal and Conversations with a Paranormal Investigator …. Penny from Haunted Histories Parasearch Radio

Rogers Cottage – Churchill Island – Phillip Island. I love that I can go back to a location and discover a building I somehow overlooked the first time. #livinglifeinfullspectrum #history #historyisimportant pic.twitter.com/8A5sB50v1y

4. Haunt Jaunts
If you want to go somewhere creepy for Halloween, this blog will pose as your personal paranormal travel agent. Haunt Jaunts is a paranormal travel site, that helps you plan your spooky getaway.
It has even published its own travel guide.
The blog is a little less on the investigation side, featuring giveaways and alerts regarding some of Travel Channel’s different spooky episodes, so if you’re looking for something a little less creepy (and a little more DIY), this may be the blog for you!
