A big thank-you to all of those readers who are pre-ordering the book. It was an incredible experience living inside and investigating The Cage, and also to

Your chance to have a book dedicated to you…or the one you love!

Who would like to have the dedication in an internationally-published book next year? I am currently finishing up the manuscript for the second volume of my paranormal research memoir, provisionally titled “These Haunted Hallways.” It is under contract with Llewellyn Worldwide for publication in the early fall/autumn of 2018. I auctioned off the dedication to

The lunatics are taking over the Asylum (again)

Well, that was one helluva weekend 🙂 It’s always good to get back to Tooele, Utah, to visit our Asylum 49 family. For those that don’t know, this is a former hospital that is now a haunted house-style attraction run by some very good friends of mine. I first heard about the place when I was writing The

Return to Asylum 49 — our favorite EVP so far

We’re back at Tooele, Utah and stayingg at Asylum 49, my favorite haunted hospital in the world, investigating what was until very recently the senior citizen facility. I’ll have more to write about this at a later date and time, but I just had to share this EVP we received last night via a PhasmaBox.

My review of “The Obstacle Is the Way” by Ryan Holiday

Continuing my current kick of studying the philosophy of Stoicism, Ryan Holiday’s The Obstacle Is the Way is a superb primer on the Stoic principles.

Book Review: “Monster Hunter International” by Larry Correia

I first read the debut entry in Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International series a couple of years ago, and have just finished listening to the audiobook version on my way home from work this evening. In short, the book’s a blast and doesn’t disappoint. Obviously this isn’t great literature: what it is, is a fast-paced supernaturally-themed action/adventure story with

Asylum 49 – The Banshee

To say that our second night at Asylum 49 was an eventful one would be putting it mildly. Just like last year, an investigator was scratched, right in front of the team. Voices were heard in empty rooms. Two investigators were touched on the neck on two separate occasions. But here’s my favorite experience of

A love letter to Asylum 49

Sometimes, you realize just how very lucky you are. I didn’t figure it out at first, eighteen months ago, when I was invited to come and spend the night in a former hospital (the old Tooele Valley Hospital) in Utah, at the invitation of the owners, Kimm and Cami Andersen and Dusty Kingston. It was
