Anyone who’s read “A Reluctant Spirit” or my blog knows I’m a proponent of respectful, kind and fun interaction with the spirit world.

When I investigated the Goldfield Hotel in Central Nevada with our local CBS affiliate in 2007, I was taken aback by how our team’s ghost hunters treated the hotel’s spirits like real people.

Personally, I believe the majority of spirits are not stuck here, but, rather want to spend some time here from time to time. Here are some of the more common [...]

Here’s what I share with them: First, I ask, “Are [...]
Curiosity. Consistent crankiness. Living in fear. A string of minor ailments. These can be indications of a need to clear your personal space. Whether you’ve picked up another person’s or spirit’s energy or you’ve just let yourself stagnate, it’s a good idea to cleanse yourself and/or your home. First of all, it’s important that [...]
As I wrote last week, historical data can deepen your investigation and help you to better relate to the spirits that may inhabit a building. So what should your team historian research?
