Ok, so we didn't do any paranormal investigations, nor ghost tours while we were in Hawai'i. Probably a greatly missed opportunity. But I did get to explore many of the old World War II bunkers that are all over the place. Inside of one, I found this just laying on the floor. There was no planchette to be found, however. (Maybe that was a good thing?)

We'll be there

Soon to be headed out on our longest road trip....scratch that...longest flight -- to Honolulu, Hawai'i. Any of our followers have some intel on a worthwhile location to investigate around there? (Excluding tourist ghost walks)

While I don't believe all his theories, he sure did make one wonder and maybe rethink their beliefs.

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce yesterday's passing of Erich von Däniken on January 10, 2026. Our thoughts are with his family. EvD is also mourned by his friends around the world, the millions of readers of his books, and the many colleagues who have had the privilege of working with him for decades.

His "Archaeology, Astronautics, and SETI Research Association" (A.A.S. R.A.) and all those interested in the Ancient Astronaut Theory and Paleo-SETI research have received this news with dismay and sorrow. What a tremendous loss.

LEGEND OF THE CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHTHOUSE GHOST
(National Folklore Day, part 3)

Local legend in Corolla, a village almost to the end of the paved road on the northern Outer Banks, holds that the North Room of the Light Keepers' house is haunted. Several people have felt a presence or a terrible sense of uneasiness in the room. It is said that no one has slept in the North Room since 1938.

Lloyd Childers, Currituck Beach Lighthouse keeper from 1997 to 2002, writes in her memoir about her time in Corolla:

'One bedroom on the north side of the house seems cooler and darker than any other room. Some visitors are very uncomfortable in this room even before they hear the local legends about it being haunted. One candidate for the ghost is the young daughter of one of the early keepers who disappeared from the beach, leaving her little shoes by the water. The other is a woman who died here while visiting [Light Keeper and his wife] Homer and Ophelia Austin.

It is suggested that a third possibility for the presence could be a lighthouse keeper's wife who passed away in the room from tuberculosis. After her passing in 1938, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse was taken over by the U.S. Coast Guard and the keepers' house neglected until the late 1990s when a conservation effort restored the building, which once again serves as the home to its current Keeper.

At a customer's house during my day job... I had questions but dared not ask.

We made a day trip to Cape Hatteras on a beautiful day before tourist season hits. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is a nice visit. Great theme, but not as many artifacts as I was expecting. (Not Haunted)
Our psychic medium picked up on the name "Snoopy" but we didn't notice where it may have been mentioned.

Did you know? .... The Hampton Roads area has had a few reports of Bigfoot sightings since 2000 according to the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization). One location reported in 2012 is near the Virginia Beach Municipal Center - the West Neck Natural Area which is a great location to explore on your own. Chesapeake has two locations, a report from 2008 names the Great Dismal Swamp (generally considered a hotspot), and another report from 2000 was near Triple R Ranch and the Bowstring Truss Bridge north of Ballahack Road.
