Opening ceremonies are done and the Paranormal Research Symposium is underway! So thrilled to be putting this on for a third year! #paranormalresearchsymposium @studytheparanormal.bsky.social

Reminder that 1) this condition does not impact combat readiness and 2) overwhelmingly impacts Black folks. Its just the same ol white supremacy from Kegseth.

Dropped off the first batch of signed books and pins at the post office. Remember you have until Wednesday to get a pin or signed book before I leave for London!

Greetings from Wheeling, WV! Grabbing some dinner after 8 hours on the road. 4.5 hours until home. Looking forward to a shower, reading, and decompressing.

Greetings from the road! 8 hours to my first stop on my way to Haunted America

Me: *posts a video about different styles of paranormal investigation* Stephen:

AHHHH these lapel pins came out so goooood! Wizard Pins did a great job translating my chicken scratch to this gem. These will be available for purchase at Haunted America!

Well... this is cool! Women of the Paranormal: Volume II is officially a Top New Release on Amazon for Kindle in Occult Spiritualism. Thank you to all who supported my writing, shared my posts, bought a copy, listened to my vents, or cheered me on along the way...every bit of support matters. 🖤

EEEE my book released today! Women of the Paranormal Volume II was a BEAST to release... I'm so emotional and *happy* that it's out. Please celebrate with me! If the spirit moves you, you can grab a copy here: amzn.to/4eHtjUs

This week on Hi, Strangeness, my guest is @thespookystuff.bsky.social (Alex Matsuo)! We get into Alex's investigations, why theaters are a magnet for the paranormal, Bill Shakespheare conspiracies and much more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Annabelle didn’t burn down the Nottoway Plantation. But if she did… good for her.

Let's explore the ethics of collecting haunted and historical items tied to trauma. When does paranormal curiosity become romanticizing real pain? Read more: alexmatsuo.com/when-the-mac...

People said this should be my new author photo...they might be right. At least until I get new pics taken. It’s me: early morning light, coffee, and ghosts waiting to be written. I’m deep into Women of the Paranormal Volume II right now. Trying honoring the ones history tried to forget.

Yesterday was game day for NOVA Roller Derby. I was on team Bees 🐝 and ended up getting MVP Blocker. It was a good day!

Hi. I’m autistic. I’m married. Work a full-time job, I pay taxes, & I haven’t destroyed my family. If you believe even a fraction of what RFK is saying about people with autism, then you’re aligning yourself with views that dehumanize people like me. I don’t have space for that kind of ignorance.

Posted this on other socials about 5 days ago...forgot to post it here. Some days, the only comfort I can find is knowing there's a way out waiting for me. It’s not that I want to take it anytime soon or hope it comes for me sooner than later. /1

Someone wants to go on an adventure with me.

It's here! I'm thrilled to be part of Volume VII of The Feminine Macabre! I've been researching Japanese ghost stories and folklore for over a decade, and it's been such a ride. I'm looking forward to publishing more of my research across different publications. #japaneseghoststories

Found out two of my books are on LibGen. Great. Super.

Even though i have 5 refills available for my medication, for some reason , Harris Teeter's pharmacy still needs approvals from my doctor to refill? Make it make sense...

Bad news: Took a spill at practice yesterday and nursing a mild concussion. Good news: The newest volume of The Feminine Macabre is out! My article "From Oppression to Vengeance: The Role of Women in Japanese Ghost Stories" is included in this volume. Grab your copy here: amzn.to/4hDYm1O

I happen to have this book in my bag right now!!

While the paranormal may seem male-dominated, women have always been here. Names like Hans Holzer are remembered, but women’s contributions are often forgotten. That’s why I wrote Women of the Paranormal Volume I to ensure their legacies live on. amzn.to/4ibcwZl #InternationalWomensDay

That gabapentin feeling...we've been snuggling on the bed all day since we got home. Thank you all for your well wishes for Zoe!

Coming up with new shirt and mugs designs to help support Zoe's ER bills. Last month, my husband was in the ER multiple times because of his blood pressure issues plus several follow ups. I needed this month to be calm so I could replenish our emergency fund. It is what it is. /1

UPDATE - Diagnosis: Raging UTI plus very high protein. Thank you all for your well wishes for Zoe. I'm taking her home to rest. I didn't realize a UTI could cause this much bleeding and clots. She's being treated with antibiotics and gabapentin. Now to go home and wash everything she bled on. 🫠

Alex Matsuo@thespookystuff.bsky.social · last yr.

Please keep my Zoe in your thoughts. Something really scary is happening so we're at the ER.

UPDATE: She's passing blood clots and bleeding instead of urinating. Ultrasound is done and they took a urine sample. Waiting on those results.

My poor girl 😭 She's unable to go #1 and instead passing bl00d and clots so they're doing an ultrasound.
