Just saw the new horror film, 'Passenger'. I went in not knowing much about it. Surprisingly good. The writers certainly did their homework regarding the supernatural folklore of highways and travelers, specifically the phantom hitchhiker phenomena. They even included a bit of hobo lore.

Just one month until the Big Muddy Monster Festival in Murphysboro, IL. As usual, there will be vendors, speakers, and also the premiere of the new film, The Pond Creek Monster. And of course our book, The Big Muddy Monster: Legends, Sightings, & Other Strange Encounters, will be for sale too.

Got weekend plans? If not, join me this weekend at the 2026 Haunted Galena Conference. My presentation will be: Guardians of the Underworld -- Phantom Black Dogs & Hellhounds Legends in America. See you there! facebook.com/events/s/202...

Massive hail today. Golf ball sized hail. I always believe that when life serves you lemons, make lemonade. So I threw it in a glass and made a whiskey Manhattan.

There you have it -- one of the most experienced paranormal researchers in America, Dale Kaczmarek, has high praise for our book, Wendigo Lore!
