I’m looking for volunteers to help with anomaly analysis and prediction.
This is one of my new projects for 2011, and it might be really interesting and helpful to the field… or it may have some huge problems that will make the data worthless.
We won’t know until we try this. It’s a project that [...]
Christmas and ghost stories seem an odd combination, but the tradition dates back to the 19th century and perhaps earlier.
As a December 2010 article in The Guardian indicates, ghost stories and chills are always popular at this time of year.
In that article, they mentioned [...]
In the past, I’ve talked about the tradition of using salt to repel or block angry and malicious spirits.
Several people have asked me about this.
I’ve only used salt a couple of times, because I regard it as an extreme remedy. However, I know people who rely on it regularly.
You’ve probably heard the [...]
Lately, a lot of emails start out, “I’d like to become a ghost hunter, but I’m afraid of demons. What can I do?”
The first issue to address is: What’s a demon?
How you respond to that question determines whether or not paranormal research is a good choice for you.

Earlier this year, in my reality check article, I said, “…as people turn to lies and name-calling, our credibility as a community is at risk.” At that point, my concerns were about others’ exchanged insults.
This week, a reader sent me links to webpages that accuse HollowHill.com of being [...]
In my earlier article, Using History to Find Haunted Sites, I talked about visiting the public library to study dusty old books.
You may have similar success using old books that are online. From Gutenberg to the Internet Public [...]
Recently, someone asked me why I limit how much time I’ll spend, trying to help an individual spirit.
In the past, I’ve talked in terms of spending no more than 10 – 20 minutes to see if I can help a particular ghost.
However, my answer should probably be two-part. The first is about me, [...]
Previously, I talked about putting time limits on helping ghosts.
Of course, someone has to help spirits if they’re ready to be helped.
I don’t mean to discourage anyone from helping… if they can.
However, many ghosts seem to be lingering for reasons that aren’t especially healthy. They want [...]
Public sites are among my favorite locations for research, and also for training new team members.
I’ve also talked about the importance of using haunted cemeteries for those purposes. (That’s why I go into such detail in Ghost Hunting in Haunted Cemeteries.)
They’re still my most important research and [...]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows includes an excellent example of the effects of a residual energy haunting. It also helps to explain the difference between residual (or embedded) energy and a demonic possession.
In the popular books, Salazar Slytherin’s Locket contains the energy, and — in the context of the Harry Potter novels [...]
