If you had asked me eight years ago if I lived fearfully, I would’ve said, “Absolutely not!” I might’ve added I was cautious, but I certainly hadn’t seen myself as someone scared all the time. Ironically, it was after I spent a crazy, other-worldly night in the haunted Goldfield Hotel that I realized that multiple [...]

When faced with the unknown, it’s easy to believe in Hollywood stereotypes. While there could be an occasional exception, I don’t believe we should fear the spirit world based on the movies and television shows we’ve viewed. Common misperceptions regarding ghosts: All ghosts are evil. If ghosts are the souls of people who’ve passed away, [...]
Steve* hiked up a rise in Wyoming on a late June morning. Atop the neighboring hill, an antelope watched him.

But after 12 hours of encountering spirits at almost every turn, I had a lot to reconcile with my views on reality and [...]
While at a recent literary event, a natty, elderly gentleman with a smile as wide as the Mississippi handed me my memoir to sign. He told me his name was Herbert.* As I wrote, he spoke softly into my ear so no one else could hear. “I agree with what you said. Love—it really does transcend [...]

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? Here are my top six suggestions: Who lived, worked there? For homes: What was the owner’s income status and career? Did a family [...]
For me, the ideal ghost hunting team is comprised of at least three specialists: a technological expert adept at using investigative equipment and knowledgeable enough to detect false positives; an intuitive/psychic/sensitive who can detect energies and pick up spirit communication; and a historian, one who’s researched the site and can guide an investigation.
