Perils of the Investigator

“You’re a ghost hunter…”  “‘That is so cool.”  “I had this happen…”  “I know of a place that is haunted.”  For the most part, when someone finds out what I do in my spare time, it is a fun and positive experience.  On the other hand I have had a few, let’s say, not-so-fun responses.  [...]

Emily’s Fascination

I was that kid, you know the one, I checked out every book on UFO’s and Bigfoot in the school library. I begged my mother to let me watch creepy movies (swearing they would not give me nightmares). And I was invited to every slumber party just because I knew the best scary stories. I [...]

Wilma’s “Hooked”

The very first time I saw Ghost  Hunters on TV I was fascinated.

I remember sitting on the edge of the chair transfixed by my television.  I was snarling at my family for walking in front of the TV and shushing them  for talking as I watched them walk around in the dark saying, [...]

Emily Says…

The search for things paranormal is a most serious endeavor. There is a lot of scientific thought, gadget know-how, grueling hours and spontaneous bursts of show tunes. It is hard not to love a group that can make you giggle even amidst the scariest of situations.
