If you tell yourself a place is haunted, you tell others a place is haunted, there’s a good chance you just might experience something in that place because you believe in it. If this sounds rather off, that’s because it is. How often do we prime ourselves before an investigation, and then we end up…
Alexander Hamilton: Haunting More than the Theatre
If you know me, then you’re probably thinking, “It was only a matter of time before APS talked about Hamilton’s ghost.” Truthfully, I wanted to cover Hamilton for a while, especially after Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical took off. I have alway had a fascination for hauntings that surrounded the Revolutionary War as well as the…
Moving Coffins: The Mystery of the Chase Vault in Barbados
The coastal town of Oistins, Christ Church, Barbados was a British colony where the main economy was tobacco and cotton. There was unrest not only in the town where they had slaves imported but also below ground. I came across this story about a month ago while looking for alternate poltergeist cases besides Enfield. I found…
The Waning Novelty of Ghost Hunting
As I prepare for our team’s upcoming expedition to Gettysburg, I find myself reflecting on the ghost hunting community.

According to Irish fables, the Leprechaun is a tiny entity that normally takes the form of a miniature version of an old man wearing…
When Ghosts Go Dormant
Oftentimes, when dealing with cases, a client will have an active case. Then, right before we come in, the activity stops. For the sake of terminology, we usually say that the activity is dormant, especially in a situation where, as far as we know, no resolution was enacted. This could mean a few different things….
Are You a Recreational Ghost Hunter? Stay Out of People’s Homes
One thing that APS is all about is research. We are more than a team that ghost hunts recreationally. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time for that. But when it comes to having a team, I wanted APS to be something that stands out from the rest of the groups out there. I…
The Ghost Within: When We Create Our Own Entity
It was late at night, and I couldn’t sleep. I heard the crashing in my living room once again. My cats were alert, but they didn’t dare leave my bedroom to investigate. That’s how I knew what it was. Well, I didn’t know for sure what it was, but it scared me, and it wasn’t…
All in the Mind: When It’s Not Paranormal
