Meet my hero
I want to introduce you to my new hero. This amazing young fellow is called Kyle. He’s an incredible artist (you should see the stuff this guy draws, it’s phenomenal!) and a very passionate video gamer, among a great many other things. He has a phenomenal sense of humor and happens to be one of
The Devil’s Coming To Get Me: The Haunting of Malvern Manor
Every so often, you sort of fall in love with a haunted location without really knowing why. I adore Gettysburg and can’t wait to go back there later this year to support the Wounded Warrior Foundation, for example, but being a Civil War buff, it’s easy to see why it holds such a special place
Zak Bagans’ Demon House: An Honest Review (some spoilers)
The much talked-about documentary film by the star of TV’s controversial Ghost Adventures is sure to be a polarizing experience for afficionados of the paranormal. Love him or hate him, there’s
Ghost hunting essentials
Readers often ask me what equipment I consider essential for paranormal investigation. As I’m packing for Malvern Manor tonight, this seemed like a good opportunity to demo my working kit. In no particular order of importance: EDI (”Eddy“) combination EMF meter, thermometer, & accelerometer Trifield EMF meter (both natural and standard models) K-2
The Guns of Pickett’s Charge
My most recent writing adventure brought two of my great fascinations together: the American Civil War, and the paranormal. The two have gone hand in hand for a long time now. Pound for pound, Civil War battlefields seem to be among the most haunted in the world; we certainly have more ghost stories from places
A visitor in the night
My team and I have spent the past few days investigating the Fairfield Inn. The Inn, which dates back to 1759, was pressed into service as a field hospital during the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg on July 4, 1863. It is also close to the Fairfield battlefield, a cavalry action that ended up with the
The awesomeness that is Asylum 49 — Halloween 2017
My team and I are home from our third Halloween spent investigating the former Tooele Valley Hospital, now a full-contact haunted house attraction known as Asylum 49. Three years ago, when I was researching my book The World’s Most Haunted Hospitals, I drove out from Colorado with two fellow investigators to spend a Saturday night inside the building.
Hostel Work Environment
Back in January/February of this year, I spent five days investigating a property in Hull, England, known informally as ‘The Hostel,’ but more simply as 39 De Grey Street. I had read a lot of stories about this house in the British national press (much, I suspect, wildly exaggerated) and wanted to see what I
EVP file recorded at The Cage
As the cycle of radio, TV, and other media interviews for my forthcoming book “Spirits of The Cage” begins to ramp up, one of the aspects of that particular investigation that I like to mention is an EVP that we recorded in there. For those not in the know, The Cage is an old cottage
Woodchester Mansion: The Breather in the Basement
Of the many haunted houses that I have been privileged to investigate during my career, Woodchester Mansion has to be one of the most fascinating. Nestled in the middle of a huge park in the Cotswolds, the grand old Mansion is a strange place indeed: after twenty years of construction, the workers are said to
