When I lived in RI, I worked in a modest restaurant located at a crossroads. Gregg’s was a popular destination for nearby Brown University students, families and local businesses. 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?
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with a historian and talk history. What else would we talk about, right? Besides friendly banter, I am always up to talk to an expert in their field. Sure, we do a decent job with the historical research and keeping up with the facts….

10 Ships That Will Haunt Your Dreams
Hauntings don’t just happen on land, but ghosts seem to favor the seven seas! Unsurprisingly, it seems that the majority of haunted ships are tied with the military and combat.

Spooks on a Plane: A Story of Haunted Planes

Right now, we live in a society where we are always looking down on our phones or watching the world through a computer. That has translated into how we investigate the paranormal. While I…
Book Review: “The Ghost Studies” by Brandon Massullo
I love any and all things paranormal. Whether it be related to cryptozoology, hauntings, religion or ufology, if it’s anything mysterious or spooky, down the rabbit hole I will go.

Our Fascination with ITC
Ghost boxes, shack hack radios, Frank’s Box, Echovox, oh my! Instrumental Trans-Communication, better known as ITC.

ITC is a technique of using electronic means to communicate with ghosts. In this day…
The Power of Suggestion in the Paranormal
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…
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.
