  • Living with the Legend of the Screaming House vs. Reality

    I see the Screaming House brought up in groups, pages, and podcasts from time to time, and it always gives me pause. Not because I am eager to revisit it, but because it is a strange thing to watch your own life get discussed when you never said a word. That happens more than I

  • I often think of Anne Frank. Her words, her story, her unwavering hope in the face of unimaginable fear have haunted and inspired me for as long as I can remember. But it wasn’t until I visited the Secret Annex in Amsterdam that I truly felt the weight of her presence. Walking through those small,

  • What are my feelings about paranormal investigation? I saw a social media post about relying on science instead of gadgets with blinking lights, and I found it fascinating. Here’s how I commented on it. I believe this explains my perspective and where I stand on paranormal investigation and research. It’s not something I think most

  • Spoiler Alert: This review discusses the film ‘Conclave.’ Last night I saw “Conclave” and thoroughly enjoyed it, considering it one of the best dramas I’ve seen recently. While the film’s strengths are numerous, this review focuses on addressing the controversy surrounding its ending. I typically avoid spoilers and in-depth discussions before watching a film, and

  • “Now is the Time for Monsters.” Antonio Gramsci’s haunting quote has always resonated with me. It states, “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.” What does it mean? Simply put, during times of chaos and upheaval, the established order crumbles, and a new
