Check out this incredibly interesting essay by @emilynaserhall on Cristóbal León and Joaquin Cociña’s The Wolf House (2018), a stunning & weird film about violence and postcolonialism horrorhomeroom.com/what-is-your-h…

@JonathanJanz Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville is a former tuberculosis hospital that’s known for paranormal occurrences. Their haunted history tours are so thorough and sensitive, and just all-around fascinating. And if you’re in Louisville, you can hit the Baxter Avenue Morgue too!

Friends: I need suggestions about upcoming “paranormal” experiences in the Indiana/Michigan/Ohio/Illinois/Kentucky areas. I want to take Jewel (my horror buddy/middle daughter) to a haunted house or ghost tour in September or October. Any ideas?
