Stopped at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago to visit the Blue Ghost, famous for its appearance on the cover of vintage Ouija board boxes. We left him some coins as a Samhain thank you for his help connecting the living & the spirit realm... 1/2
Yesterday
@nuekerk
& I went to drop food off at
@ohioalleycat
& spotted this goofy black cat with squinty eyes, a body made out of noodles, & we knew he was ours. Meet Oliver! He’s an 8 month old TNR, & he, Gordy, & Walter are sniffing each other under the door, ready to be bffs.
Spanning 5 years, ‘The Unbinding’ documents our investigation of the Crone, an object that changed our lives. Years of research & experiments led us deep into the Catskill mountains to conduct a ritual I will never forget. Can’t wait for you to see it.
Today I’m 42, & to be honest I feel like I’m just getting started. With everything we’re releasing this year, I know it’s going to be one for the books. Grateful for it all.
There’s a seller on Etsy who lets her ginger cats intuitively pick out a crystal for you. I have never hit the ‘add to cart’ button so fast in my life.
This morning our very sweet & very nervous rescue Walter decided it was finally time for her to come downstairs & join the rest of the family… & I cried a lot.
Last November we spent a few days & nights exploring an ancient forest in search of the legend of Bigfoot with my new friend, & equally legendary icon, Jeff Goldblum… 1/2
Today I’m 41. This year I’m happier, more ferocious, & stranger than I’ve ever been. I’m more authentic, patient, & dedicated to protecting authenticity in all its shapes & sizes. I’ve never been more grateful for those I love, those who challenge me & those who inspire me. 1/2
Reminder that not everyone who refers to themselves as “witch”, “psychic”, “spiritual teacher” etc. is someone you should be taking spiritual advice from. Use discernment.
Where are my quiet people at? Being a quiet person is sometimes really hard, because it makes us very easy to talk over. This is your friendly reminder to never let that stop you from using your voice. ♥️🗣
Cat’s officially out of the bag. We started a podcast! Each week we’ll be revealing the folklore, history, & paranormal activity behind the world’s most haunted objects! Oh yeah, there’s also a video version so you can stare at us.
Today is my 11 year wedding anniversary with this wonderful human creature. Here we are lookin’
@StrangeEscapes
snazzy this past winter. Love you & can’t wait for another year of spooky adventures,
@nuekerk
! 🖤
Not gonna lie, I’m super excited to have experienced way less hate tonight about the use of witchcraft, tarot, & magick from those who just don’t understand it. I’ll take this as a really good sign.
#KindredSpirits
Pete had a favorite chair in my studio where he loved to sleep. I haven’t had the heart to sit in it since he passed until today. Gordon, who is 100% not a lap cat, saw me & immediately came over & jumped up into my lap. He’s never done that before, but I’m so grateful he did. 🧡
Every single day of my life is an adventure because of you. Love you more than I’m capable of expressing. ♥️Everyone make sure to wish
@nuekerk
a very happy birthday today! Happy birthday, baby! 🎂
Our 12 year old cat Gordy has been pretty sad over the past few months since his brother Pete passed, so watching him run around the house playing with his new little shadow Oliver is the best feeling ever. 🖤
Last night we explored Waverly Hills Sanatorium & engaged with all kinds of weirdness. The longer I explore the paranormal the more abstract my thoughts about it become. It becomes stranger, & as a result I become stranger. What a beautiful gift that is. 🪱
I can hardly express how proud I am of this work. This case truly transformed everyone involved.

, will challenge everything you thought you knew about ghosts. Coming September 8th.
Just wanted to say we appreciate the love. I’d ask that you not send people any hate, it’s not worth it. I’m not going to be speaking about this again moving forward.
Most importantly, authenticity can’t be mimicked, it always withstands & survives.
Can’t believe Oliver’s already been with us for a month. In 30 days he & Gordon have become best friends, Walter has a new companion, & our hearts are beginning to heal. We miss Pete every day, but I know in my heart that he was helping to make sure Oliver made his way to us. 🖤
The leaves are turning, animals are preparing for the cold months ahead, & the bare arms of the oak, elm, & maple reach their limbs up towards the sky. It’s almost time to pause & go inward, embracing the stillness of the dark-half of the year & the gifts it can invoke within us.
When Walter was living outside it took me weeks before she would even let me put a bowl of food down in front of her without running away, & today she’s bravely exploring the house a little more every day. My grey ghost is becoming a real house cat. 🤍

Our little feral girl Walter has been nervously hanging out downstairs over the past few days. A few mins ago she snuck out of her safe spot, laid down in front of the tree, with the lights all sparkly in her little eyes, & I then I cried a lot.
So
@nuekerk
was spooky poopin’ in the haunted downstairs bathroom & I remembered we have a ring cam pointed at the door because of a light that turned on by itself. Clearly he was very alarmed by the disembodied voice that scared him out of the bathroom.
Dana:1 Greg :0 👻
Please stop sharing your unsolicited psychic impressions of someone else’s reproductive choices. I chose not to have children, but for some people it was out of their hands, & the pain you might cause by commenting could be devastating.
If incense gives you a headache you’re probably like me, sensitive to strong fragrances & smells, not possessed with negative energy/entities like of people on tiktok would have you believe. 😳
This is a friendly reminder to anyone thinking about inviting “paranormal investigators” into your home, please do a deep dive, not just on the team but the individuals as well. The ignorance & bigotry that hides in this community never ceases to amaze me.
Always a bit bummed when people say things like “tarot & magick are evil!”, while literally watching a show where the goal is to communicate with the dead & non-living. How do you justify one as being “safe”, & take issue with the other? Cherry picking at its finest.
#paranormal
The level of confidence that new age influencers use when trying to convince their followers of the “spiritual dangers of getting vaccinated” is Jim Jones level bone chilling.
Every time it snows or drops to freezing temps I give her an extra snuggle, because last year she was braving it all outdoors. Be kind to your local stray & feral kitties, friends.
Yesterday
@nuekerk
& I noticed a wasp making a nest in our outside doorway. We won’t hurt animals, so Greg politely asked it to move on. This morning the nest was gone. He did the same thing recently to a raccoon that was living in our wall… it worked. Is Greg a Disney princess?
After years & years of hard work this film is finally in the world. I’m so proud of it & of everyone who helped to bring it into the world. Most importantly, I cannot wait to talk with you all about it. It’s her time!

Waiting for
@nuekerk
in the lobby while he’s getting his haircut, taking to the stylist at FULL VOLUME above the hairdryers about aliens & occult rituals like an absolute madman. Everyone in here is like 👀👀👀👀.
Friendly reminder that you don’t have to make unrealistic contracts with yourself at the end of the year. New cycles often bleed into one another organically, so instead try just being gentle with yourself.
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but you’re doing the best you can in these strange times, and that’s enough. Be gentle with yourself, and others. ♥️
I took this picture in the summer of 2007 when we started dating, & the 2nd a few months ago on a beach in California. 10 years ago we quietly eloped, & now I get to spend every day with my best friend & whole heart. Life’s the best adventure with you. Love you forever & ever.
Mama nature sure is quiet right now. I think she’s in a deep state of healing, so send her some love. I sure did bump into a lot of elementals & land spirits today though. 🌿
A mama deer left the tiniest little fawn in the tall grass between the two big pines in our backyard so she could go graze. She’ll come back to gather him at dusk, but until then, I’m now the bawling fawn protector of Cincinnati.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been back & forth to the vet trying to figure out why this little guy keeps getting sores near his nose & mouth. He’s being very brave, but if you have some extra good vibes to spare, he’d sure appreciate it. 🖤
The Empress on my mind. Thank you
@karlpfeiffer
&
@nuekerk
for making my dreams of becoming a Waterhouse. This spring has been a transformative one, & after weeks of working my way through the soil, I feel the sun on my face. I think this summer is going to be powerful for us all
Tonight I was sitting with our rescue Walter & it dawned on me how cold it’s starting to get. Last year I worried about this little girl every night out on the streets, & this year she has a safe, warm house & people to take care of her… & then I cried a lot.
#AdoptDontShop
I try not to let let haters get under my skin, but holy fuck am I sick of people arguing with me about why I use tarot during paranormal investigations. I’ve done it for years, it works for me, if you don’t like it, I don’t really care. 🤷🏻♀️
Feb 22 to 28th is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
In 2004 I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. If you or someone you love suffers from an eating disorder, I want you to know I am living proof that recovery is possible. Sending love to you all.
#NEDAwareness
When sad old men say they’re “fascinated” by the authentically hurt responses people have had to their cruelty we should stop giving them our attention, our ears, & our money.
Fuck transphobes.
There’s been so much loss this year. The weight of this Samhain has been like alchemy, & led me to some of the deepest & hardest places. If you’ve lost a loved one or a beloved pet this year, I’ve lit a candle on my altar for you. Today I celebrate life & honor the transition.
The projects we’ve been prepping to unleash on the world feel a bit like a translation of the language of strangeness. Can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been cooking up.
