Looking for holiday gifts with a decidedly paranormal twist? Here are some suggestions for friends and family – or perhaps a treat for yourself. You'll find items in a wide price range to suit any budget, and for just about any age. Shop now so you'll get the goods in time for the holidays.
1. Paranormal Audio Subscription
Subscriptions make great gifts because they keep on giving the year through. Any fan of the paranormal would appreciate a subscription to any one of the great broadcasts available. These subscriptions allow the user to download and listen to the broadcasts whenever they want. I can heartily recommend subscriptions to Coast to Coast, The Jeff Rense Program and Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country.2. Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Two (1956-1957)
Season Two of this excellent TV show, from the Master of Suspense, is now available on DVD. The shows were always well produced, written and acted, making for gripping, always surprising drama – often with a twist ending. Of course there were other great TV shows, also available on DVD, including The Twilight Zone and The Time Tunnel.
3. Ouija Board Computer Mouse Pad
You have to have a mouse pad, right? So what's cooler than this authentic color reproduction of a 1920s Ouija Board discovered in an abandoned apartment at 97 Orchard Street, now the home of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Don't worry, you won't be accidentally channeling spirits as you surf the 'net with this mouse pad, but it's sure to get a lot of attention.4. Paranormal PC
Yes, it's pricey – but wow – what ghost hunter on your holiday shopping list wouldn't want this amazing new tool developed in the UK. The Paranormal PC is being called the "biggest innovation in paranormal research in the last 25 years," and is starting to be used by top investigators. It monitors straight onto your PC or laptop, recording all of the following parameters: temperature, motion, sound, luminance, infrared night vision video, electromagnetic field (EMF) meter readings, negative ion levels/static interference, and natural magnetic fields/geomagnetic fields. Man, would I love one of these babies.5. The Housewive's Tarot
Looking for something offbeat? This is as about offbeat as you get, and yet is very cool. Tarot cards are an age-old divination tool, but this version puts a quirky, modern-retro twist on it, illustrated with a hilarious 1950s housewife theme. This is a full deck, of course, so you can use them just as you would any traditional tarot deck. An instruction book is included.6. Magazine Subscriptions
Here's another subscription suggestion: paranormal-themed magazines. Haunted Times is one of the newest and one of the best. It focuses mostly on ghost and haunting phenomena, and covers those subjects thoroughly in a beautifully produced publication. FATE magazine has been one of my favorite magazines for years, covering all kinds of phenomena. It never disappoints and I look forward to it every month. Also, check out Nexus magazine for many thought-provoking "new age" type articles.7. Crop Circle Jewelry
St. Justins, long known for their well-crafted Celtic jewelry, also offers this unusual pewter pendants featuring intriguing designs from crop circles that appeared in Great Britain. Hand made in the UK, these pendants come with a leather cord. These are really nice.8. Books
