👻 About Jacob Rice

Hey there, I’m Jacob Rice, the spooky guy behind Ghostly Activities. Please call me Jake.

I grew up in the deep, dark forests of Wisconsin, right along a quiet lake where the mist rolls in just a little too thick sometimes. Those eerie woods sparked my lifelong fascination with ghosts and monsters. When I wasn’t playing ice hockey, I was swapping scary stories by the campfire … or running from whatever made the branches crack in the dark.

Later, I joined the Army as a codebreaker (which sounds way cooler than it felt most days) before heading to college in Chicago. That’s where the real hauntings started. An anniversary ghost in my apartment building. A crisis apparition that showed up when I least expected it. Those experiences turned curiosity into action.

By day, I worked in tech, solving problems and writing guides. By night, I started investigating hauntings, documenting every detail. In 2015, I packed up and moved to the mysterious Pacific Northwest, a place wrapped in fog and folklore. It’s here that Ghostly Activities really came to life.

The Ghostly Activities Club began as a duo with my best friend, Saleen. Once I moved west, it grew into a group of paranormal enthusiasts who take investigations seriously … but always know how to have fun (the ghosts seem to like that, too). We’re about solid research, thorough documentation, and sharing those experiences with folks like you.

On the blog, you’ll find everything from spooky storytelling to ghost hunting guides, all with that cozy creepy vibe. Whether you’re a beginner ghost hunter or just love a good haunted tale, you’re welcome here.

You can also catch me on the Ghostly Activities Podcast and my YouTube documentaries, where I dive into hauntings, urban legends, and creepy history.

And when I’m not chasing ghosts? I’m probably wrangling my pack of rescue mutts or planning the next haunted expedition.

So grab your EMF meter, pour yourself a strong cup of coffee, and join me where things go bump in the night.
