One of my favorite books of all time is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. It ends with a twist I didn’t see coming and the moment I finished the book I restarted it, looking for clues I’d missed the first time.

If your looking to take a spook-tacular vacation this year, you might want to check out this NY Times piece by Mary Pilon about haunted hotels. I had the chance to talk with her about my very favorite Milwaukee haunt- The Pfister Hotel!

Travelers looking for a taste of dark drama can stay in accommodations built in former prisons, cult compounds and defunct military installations.

I am excited to share that I recently appeared on The UnXplained with William Shatner on the History Channel, in the episode “Unlocking the Sixth Sense.”

My screen time is short, so this appearance won’t be my big break, but it definitely was a big thrill.

The producers found me through my book Storied and Scandalous Wisconsin, which includes tales of psychic phenomena and other strange moments from our state’s past. I’m grateful to the production team for inviting me to share some wonderfully weird history.
