"Handbook for the Amateur Paranormal Investigator or Ghost Hunter: How to Become a Successful Paranormal Group"
My first book has officially hit the bookstands, well, the online print-on-demand company lulu. My first book is for those who want to start a paranormal or ghost hunting group, but want to do it on their own terms and not be followers to the television and internet craze. It's also geared for those groups that feel like they are stuck or have lost their sense of direction, this bok covers the various pitfalls of groups and how to avoid them as well as the basics of interviewing and investigating.

We would like to thank Keith and all of the members of the Marion, Ohio Hobby Club for inviting us for a lecture on Ghost and paranormal investigation on Thursday, October 11th. It is always a pleasure to meet folks who have a desire to know what we do straight from those who do it as well as listen to their own personal experiences.

It's hard to believe it's already the silly season (that's Halloween to regular folks). We have been out in the field and dreaming up some big plans for the remainder of this year and for next. We are still looking for new members for the group and we are taking media and speaking requests for Halloween. Please refer to the feedback link.
