Normally, if you’re trying to find The Haunted Walk, we tell you to look for the person in the cloak. At FAN EXPO Canada, that advice is...considerably less helpful. 👻

If you’re at the show this weekend, come find us and our friends from , and say hello, talk ghosts, hauntings, and all things strange.

We’ll be the ones in the cloaks.

Probably. 😂

Look up tonight. The moon is doing something spooky! 🌕 Tonight, the Moon will slip deep into Earth’s shadow during an unusually dramatic partial lunar eclipse.

The partial eclipse begins around 10:34 p.m. EDT and reaches its maximum at 12:13 a.m., when more than 96% of the Moon will be covered by Earth’s darkest shadow. This will give it an eerie, rusty-red glow.

For centuries, eclipses were treated as omens. Some cultures imagined supernatural creatures attacking or even devouring the Moon. It isn’t hard to understand why.

No special glasses required. Just find somewhere with a clear view of the sky, look up, and enjoy one of those rare nights when the natural world decides to become a little more supernatural.

And really, if there was ever a good night to join us for a ghost tour, this feels like one.

Go outside. It’s haunted.

Charlie Chaplin’s body was stolen from his grave and held for ransom. And it was far from the only famous co**se with a surprisingly busy afterlife.

Thomas Paine was dug up and carried across the Atlantic. René Descartes ended up buried without his head. Pieces of Beethoven and Schubert disappeared in the name of science.

In this new episode of Haunted Talks, we dig into the bizarre true history of stolen co**ses, missing bones, grave robbers, and the restless ghosts they may have left behind.

For decades, this image circulated with a chilling story. It had supposedly been taken in Texas in the 1950s, on the Cooper family’s first night in a new home. Nothing unusual happened when the photograph was taken. Only after the film was developed did the family discover the figure falling headfirst from the ceiling beside them.

It became one of the internet’s most famous alleged ghost photographs. Some saw the spirit of a former resident. Others proposed a residual haunting, a double exposure, or a darkroom prank. Yet no one could find the house, a newspaper report, or any trace of the Cooper family connected to the image.

The truth was eventually traced to the younger boy seated at the table. His name is Richard G. Ramsdell, and the falling figure is also Ramsdell, photographed as an adult.

In 1981, Ramsdell used the old family photograph as part of his MFA thesis exhibition. He projected the image upside down, stepped into the beam, and photographed the two images together. When the finished print was turned upright, his adult body appeared inverted beside his childhood self, falling toward the floor.

It was never intended as a ghost hoax. Days after John Lennon was killed, Ramsdell had a dream that helped inspire a series about children unable to see the danger surrounding them. The real subject of the photograph was not a spirit, but the terrible interval when catastrophe has already entered the frame and no one sees it yet.

Sometime in the mid-to-late 1990s, the image was taken from Ramsdell’s website, stripped of its origin, and given a haunted house in Texas. An artwork about unseen danger became a ghost story.

Prints of the image are available directly from Richard G. Ramsdell through Studio Ramsdell.
