Last week I shared that I was working on a new investigation write-up… and it’s finally here!

The Weary Traveler, a quiet house in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood, has a history that lingers in more ways than one. During my time there and especially the hour I spent inside alone the silence was heavy, broken only by a strange sound in the hallway. Was it the house settling… or something else?

What do you think makes a place hold onto its energy? The history, the people, or something beyond our understanding?

But they’re not the only family with a chilling legacy. History is full of dynasties marked by untimely deaths, betrayals, and bloodlines steeped in mystery.

👻💤 Paranormal Hangover Alert! 💤👻

Who else knows the struggle of staying up all night chasing shadows, listening for whispers, and waiting for that one creak in the hallway? Now it’s Sunday, and we’re dragging around like zombies. 🧟‍♂️☕

Here’s to all my fellow investigators rocking that “paranormal hangover” — tired eyes, too much coffee, and endless ghost stories to share. Did you catch anything spooky last night, or just a whole lot of yawns today?

The past isn’t gone… it’s still here. And I’ve been following its whispers.

Over the last few months, I’ve been exploring some of Western Pennsylvania’s most haunted and historic places, from forgotten cemeteries to abandoned homesteads.

As a genealogist and paranormal investigator, I’m combining land records, archival research, and on-site investigations to uncover the lives (and afterlives) of those who came before us.

This is the beginning of PennStory Paranormal : where haunted history comes to life.

I can’t wait to share the first case files with you.

Follow along for ghost stories rooted in history, first case file drops soon.
