Selkies: The Other Kind of Mermaid
Researching lore of different cultures is another area of research that I feel is important if we were to understand why hauntings and myths exist.

Feeling the Pain of the Dead

Greetings from Williamsburg, VA! I must say that the entertainment industry seems to be taking a step back from paranormal reality TV.

Spooks or Spoons? Why Restaurants Can Be Haunted

A bright, sunny two-story eatery, it had splashy Leroy Neiman paintings, cream-colored leather booths, an ever-rotating desert case on the first floor, a well stocked bar…
Is the Paranormal Field Changing History?
