Long nights, nostalgic old houses, time off work, and a built‑in love of storytelling all make December a surprisingly good time to bring out the gear and go looking for things that go bump in the night. Why the holidays feel so haunted Winter has always had a spooky side. In Victorian times, people gathered around the fire at Christmas to share ghost stories, treating the season as a time when the past brushes up against the present. Today, that same atmosphere shows up in candlelit historic homes, old churches, and snowy graveyards that feel made for a quiet investigation. The holidays also stir up memories and emotions, which is part of why many paranormal investigators think this time of year is especially “active.” People are home more, paying attention to creaks, cold spots, and strange shadows they might ignore when life is busier.

Welcoming the New Year… and the Spirits That Come With It There’s something special about the start of a new year. The air feels different. The nights are quieter. And for those of us drawn to the paranormal, the turning of the calendar has always carried a little extra energy. Across cultures and centuries, the New Year has been seen as a time when the veil thins-when spirits, ancestors, and unseen forces are closer than usual. It’s a moment of transition, and if there’s one thing spirits are known for, it’s showing up during times of change.
