For that matter, the belief in ghosts has become part of pop culture with many movies and books depicting haunted houses, weary spirits, and all sorts or paranormal activity. During the last decade in America, with the popularization of ghost-hunting TV shows we’ve seen the emergence of “super haunts”: destinations with so much spirit energy that people with average sensitivity have been able to “feel” the spirits.

Curious? Well what are you waiting for? Read on and satisfy that curious itch.

Phobias are no joke. It is believed that at least 25% of adults suffer from one or more phobias. Most phobias are caused by some form of trauma experienced early in life or even a single moment that leaves a kind of scar in the sufferer’s mind.
