mysteryhouse is me, blair
I'm an award-winning filmmaker + writer who's worked with Vogue, Netflix, Target, and many more.
A multiplatform authority on America’s most unique places long before launching a TikTok in 2025, I’ve partnered with Atlas Obscura on multiple documentary projects, including a national, cross-country campaign with the US Tourism Board, and my feature Weird Wild USA remains one of the most expansive “weird travel” spreads ever published in a major magazine.
Tiktok
A guide to the most unique places and people in America.
Like a diner hidden in the back of an old pharmacy in Beverly Hills, a 3D museum tucked behind a gas station, or a man named Stan, who’s been turning his living room into a classical music venue for over 40 years.
Substack
Same focus on the hidden and unusual, but already through a fully national lens.
I’ve written long-form pieces on fantasy festivals in upstate New York, odes to theme motels in Wisconsin, and—every month—feature a guide to a new American city, with picks from locals and obscure town lore that actually makes you want to book a flight.
Why you should pick ME
Audiences can tell when something is genuine or not, and I'm not an influencer pretending to like all this for views. I think that authenticity—combined with an encyclopedic, knowledge of unusual Americana, plus a decade in the traditional media world—is what gives me the reach of a much larger creator.
Also, most "off the beaten path" travel content tends to be overly educational, overlong, and aimed at male audiences.
There's historically been almost no alternative travel content aimed at young, female travelers that isn't aspirational, creating both an information and permission gap—women don't know these places exist, and they don't feel invited to go.
let’s talk!
