We had the privilege of talking to a VCU class today about haunted lore! Thank you to Dr. Smith, his colleagues, and students for the warm welcome!

Is the Branch Museum of Design haunted? Maybe.
We joined CPRI: The Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation for an evening of “spooky science” inside one of Richmond’s most remarkable historic homes. Reports of shadowy figures, moving curtains, unexplained noises, and even a lady in white may not prove that spirits linger here, but the Branch House’s history and extraordinary design make it worth exploring either way.

Our social media game has been lacking lately, so here’s what’s up.

One of our beloved cats, Nico, received a tough diagnosis back in June. While we won’t get into the detailed clinical talk here, FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) is an insidious disease. The diagnosis brought a great deal of stress and anxiety into our lives, along with a resolve to do what we could for him. This left little time or energy for anything beyond day-to-day business. Research and filming videos were put on the back burner. The reassuring news is that Nico is responding well to treatment and doing very well.

We are fortunate to be able to cover his care, and we are not asking for donations. We simply hope Nico’s story encourages you to support your local animal rescues when you can. FIP treatment can be expensive, and for organizations caring for many vulnerable animals, every bit of support matters.

Thank you for sticking with us while we care for a very important cat. 🐈‍⬛❤️

Owning a ghost tour company means accepting that people may contact you at unusual hours.

Apparently 12:49 AM is now one of those hours.

The business phone rang this morning and woke me from a dead sleep. Half-conscious, I answered it thinking I was turning off an alarm. After a few seconds and a moment of realization, I gave a hesitant, “Hello?”

“Are y’all open tonight?”

It was 12:49 in the morning. I said nothing. I hung up. I went back to bed.

We may be in the ghost business, but at 12:49 AM, we are among the dead.💀
