A Curious Traveler’s Musings on High Strangeness

Every now and then, a question pops into my mind that I can’t quite shake. So today, dear readers, I’m asking you this: Would you knowingly take a trip to a place famous for paranormal activity? Ghosts, portals, UFOs—excuse me, UAPs—seem to be having a moment. Someone, somewhere, clearly decided the term “UFO” carried too much baggage from decades of little green men.

But the question lingers. Would you go?

Welcome to Utah’s Unita Basin—Where Weird Is Normal

Lately, my daydream travels have taken me back to Utah, especially the northeastern corner known as the Unita Basin. If that name rings a bell, you’ve probably watched the History Channel’s hit show The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

The locals don’t mince words—they call the region’s activity “High Strangeness.” And they mean it. Viewers tune in weekly to see glowing orbs, UAPs darting across the sky, radiation spikes, malfunctioning equipment, and rockets that refuse to fly straight. Native American stories warn that the land is cursed, prowled by Skinwalkers, Dire Wolves, and other beings best left unnamed. Even the cattle seem uneasy.

Just when you think it can’t get stranger, the team from Expedition X shows up to investigate—and ends up filming what they believe might be a Skinwalker. Even Phil Torres, the group’s resident skeptic, looked like he wanted to sleep with the lights on after that one.

From the Desert to the Deep: USOs off Catalina Island

Speaking of Expedition X, they also dove into the world of USOs—Unidentified Submerged Objects—off Santa Catalina Island. The area is legendary among paranormal researchers, a hotspot for both sky-bound and sea-bound mysteries.

Most investigations end with more questions than answers, but this time the team captured some genuinely odd activity beneath the waves. Was it real? A trick of the light? Something else entirely? Your guess is as good as mine.

My Brush With a UFO Hotspot—Minus the UFOs

I’ve actually visited one of the country’s most famous paranormal destinations: Sedona, Arizona. Not for UFOs, mind you—I went for the red rocks, the hiking, and the sheer beauty of the landscape.

I didn’t see any mysterious lights or feel the pull of an energy vortex. And honestly? If I had, I probably would’ve packed up and headed straight back to the airport. People think I’m an adrenaline junkie, but that’s a myth. Roller coasters terrify me. Helicopters? Sure. Ghosts and extraterrestrials? Hard pass.

So Tell Me—Would You Go?

Now I’m turning the question over to you.

Would you take a vacation to a place known for its “High Strangeness”?
Would you seek out a UFO hotspot, a haunted canyon, or a stretch of desert where the sky behaves badly?
