With so many ghosthunters and fans of the paranormal active on this site, I would be very interested in hearing what people did for Halloween and think it would be great if people posted their experiences here! If what you have to say is fairly brie…

Had a great chat this evening with Shirley MacLaine about haunted places in not just in Maryland and Virginia but around the world! Going into it, I had a presentiment that it would be more challenging than usual, and it was ... Shirley asked me que…

Psi-fi Para-Radio Interview (Dec. 9-10, 2009)

Was very pleased to be invited back to chat with Donna and her colleagues the evening of Wednesday, December 9! This show has got some very earnest, engaged listeners and I always have a lot of fun addressing their questions (more on that below).

As usual, we covered a lot of ground during the 90-minute live show. Topics included haunted Henryton Hospital in Marriotsville, Maryland; my plans for launching a publishing imprint that covers paranormal topics other than ghosthunting, such as UFOs a… Continue

Additional Haunted Sites in Maryland

In the lastest round of America's Haunted Road Trip books, we decided to include appendices of "Additional Haunted Places" containing brief descriptions of sites that did not receive full-chapter coverage. I included 50 such entries in Ghosthunting Maryland but am constantly coming across ever more purportedly haunted sites that warrant at least a mention. This post will serve as a living document for such sites as I identify them. Note that many of these sites are more restricted than th… Continue

Psi-fi Para-Radio Interview (Nov. 4-5, 2009)

Man, I just love this show and always have such a great time on it! An hour-and-a-half just flies by and we cover so much ground. Good questions and interaction from listeners calling in or posting to the Psi-fi Para-Radio chat room keeps everything lively and adds a random element to show.

We discussed any number of diverse things on the Nov. 4 show (which,as it went until half-past-midnight Central time, extended into Nov. 5 for me). These included my own Ghosthunting Maryland and the… Continue

Interview with Shirley MacLaine

Had a great chat this evening with Shirley MacLaine for her Independent Expression radio show about haunted places in not just in Maryland and Virginia but around the world! Going into it, I had a presentiment that it would be more challenging than usual, and it was ... Shirley asked me questions that I have never been asked before and -- which I noted when I spoke with her -- will in some cases affect the way I approach ghosthunting in the future. Beyond usual topics like the nature of g… Continue

Return to Winchester, Virginia

One of the last stops on my most recent book tour was Winchester, Virginia, which I have often described as one of the most haunted cities in Virginia. I devote an entire chapter of Ghosthunting Virginia to a number of sites in the 18th century heart of the town, two of which I revisited last weekend.

The first was the Fuller House Inn, a haunted establishment that my wife and I stayed at in April 2008 and eagerly hoped to visi… Continue

Thanks Mike! I really enjoyed the show last not. I have been co-hosting with Donna for a while now and we always have a great time. As a matter of fact you were my first guest when I started co-hosting PSI-FI. There is never a time during the show where I was not enjoying myself. Please keep in touch and let me know if you find the Ghost Lights in TX I told you about and if you get to check into Harriton Hospital in MD. Hope to hear from you soon.
