Convergence started here in Chicago!  It is an annual goth music festival that travels around the world.  And it is so much fun!  We met lifelong friends (like Zoe + Stewart from England xoxo), saw awesome live bands and explored what the host city had to offer.  This was our first Convergence outside of Chicago and we fell in love with Toronto 🙂  Were you there too?

Waaay back in 1988, I started an annual birthday party called “The Funeral Party” with my friend Mish!
It continued for many years throughout the ’90’s all over the city – Goth Bowling, Graveyard Tours, Dancing, Dinners at Little Bucharest and so much more! Photos 😉  At some point the party was too big to manage and went to ground…  wouldn’t it be fun to start it up again???

My #SpookyInc20 memory is when I first met Voltaire in 2005!  For whatever reason, my schedule and his performance schedule never worked until then.  I kept hearing about how great his live shows are and was thrilled when he came through Chicago.  Charming, clever and talented!  If you aren’t familiar with him, go now to Voltaire.net – listen to his music, buy his merch and check out his latest project “Gothic Homemaking” on YouTube!  I guarantee you will become an instant fan 🙂

Ghost Relations Department’s Ghost Post Box #2

“The Great Unraveling May End“… reads the headline on the latest edition of the Grim Gazette.  Haunted Mansion’s Second Ghost Post box arrived!  We are so excited to share the unboxing with you.

Included in the 2nd box:

  • The most recent edition of the Grim Gazette (the most trusted tabloid of the afterlife)
  • A music box, modeled on our Mansion’s very own pipe organ
  • A phenakistoscope – conceived by the ghosts to be constructed to their specifications
  • A fine drawing featuring some of the doors of our esteemed Mansion
  • Blueprints displaying some of the rooms our haunts inhabit
  • Additional divination cards reproduced from the deck of the great Madame Leota

Follow for more photos of the haunted items in the box.

We cannot wait for the final box to arrive so we can solve the mystery of the “Great Unraveling” and help the ghosts follow us home once again.  Each item in the box offered clues and hints from the ghosts to us, not-so-foolish mortals.  The Phantom Radio app (iPhone only) offered even more hints on uncovering more clues from each of the items with unique codes.  And we have confirmation that there are three spooky tasks to complete in the Disneyland park should you choose!

Stay tuned for box #3
