Hello! I'm Alex. I'm a paranormal investigator, researcher, and author. I've written several books on paranormal investigating, haunted places, spooky women, and personal experiences. I've been on TV a few times on shows like Haunted Hospitals and Most Terrifying Places in America. I enjoy making videos about the paranormal as well. When not doing spooky stuff, I enjoy musical theatre and roller derby.

@richardgrant @mysteryharvest thank you! I think it's so easy to forget the imagination/wonder element of it all
@mysteryharvest totally agree! i forget if i've shared this with ya already (sorry if it's a repeat), but i did a podcast ep/wrote a thing tangentially related to this! basically about how imagination is critical bc it allows us to envision better futures, and how ppl who are into the #paranormal have imagination in spades, so are uniquely positioned to offer various visions of positive futures: https://www.buriedsecretspodcast.com/on-mylar-balloons-and-forgotten-futures-essay/
I think there’s a strong argument for #paranormal folks helping fight #climate change by instilling a sense of wonder and awe in the strangeness of the world. Like, believing in a universe where #Bigfoot and #Mothman and Liminal Spirits and such are around makes me want to keep it safe even more.
Heya. Y’all ever heard of #WorldCat ? It’s an online catalog that shows you the nearest #libraries or #archives that have an item (or topic) you’re looking for. Want to read an out of print or hard to find book? Check WorldCat to see if it’s at a library near you! Just one of the many tools you can bookmark in your quests for info!!
computers are cool, but have you heard of birds?
We encountered so much #highstrangeness while filming, and the quote ("we are prying into the affairs of the secret commonwealth") stayed in the back of my mind the whole time. It was a wild ride, and I can't wait for all of y'all to see it!

I sketched this #drawing (the grayscale version) while researching the locations before our investigations.
At the time, I happened to also be reading Passport to Magonia by Jacques Vallée, and this quote--about the connections between the #fae , #UFOs, and other #paranormal phenomena--felt appropriate for the journey we were about to go on.
I'm in Inhuman Beings; in the first season, we investigate several locations full of #highStrangeness. We look at it all! #Ghosts , the #fae , #UFOs, #cryptids , and more. I learned so much and am so grateful to be working with such an talented and smart group of people.
Cool #queer #paranormal project alert!! The #kickstarter is up for New Blood and Inhuman Beings, two new, super queer #indie paranormal shows, and we need your help to bring 'em into the world!

Today's random #paranormal story from the map at liminal.earth comes from #Golden, #Colorado: "THE TREETOPS:"
"...The sound was coming from those droopy treetops, but there was nothing there. I stood there perplexed, when I began to notice there were faces in the trees. The faces were not human...."

Happy Friday! I’m trying to be better about showing up here, so to celebrate that, here’s an open-access article on psi written by Louisa Rhine: https://parapsych.org/uploaded_files/pdfs/00/00/00/00/93/06_rhine_subjective_forms_of_spontaneous_psi_experiences.pdf
@SpeedOfHuman ugh I'm really sorry you're experiencing that :(( I'm about to lose COBRA from my last job (which I've just *barely* been able to afford) so am dealing with some similar things. the whole system really really sucks.
babe are you ok, you've barely touched your lorem ipsum dolor & cheddar wrap

I’ve been on a once-a-month posting routine and it’s not working — the above are just what I needed to hear & understand.
I had been lusting after this book my friends showed me, and when they were gifted a second copy, they kindly gave it to me!
So creepy and gorgeously designed, I'd love to go on a spooky tour of all these places someday.
@awolkoff thanks!!
