Since my first Haverhill ghost investigation in 2008, people have asked me why Haverhill and vicinity are so haunted. There are many reasons. History may be part of it.
Why is Haverhill haunted?
Haverhill (pronounced “HAY-vuh-rill” or just “HAY-vrill”) has been the site of many significant events, including some gruesome history that is [...]
Brandywine Valley Ghosts by Laurie Hull is a fun book to read whether you’re a ghost hunter or someone who enjoys real ghost stories.
Ms. Hull is the kind of ghost hunter — and author — I admire. In this book, she mixes well-researched history, chilling ghost stories, amusing [...]
On 17 June 2008, I was on the Ghost Chronicles International radio show as Ron Kolek‘s co-host. Our guest was Christopher Balzano, the founder and lead investigator of Massachusetts Paranormal Crossroads. The topic was
On June 12, 2008, we returned to Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. Except for a notable number of new houses and subdivisions in the area, little has changed… with one exception. The denser wooded area in back of the cemetery seems to provide the illusion of cover for the spirits who visit during daytime [...]
Late yesterday (12 June 2008), we returned to Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. Our ghost hunting results were surprising. We’ll publish photos and more details, later, but here’s a summary of what we found:
We tried several kinds of dowsing rods to see what they indicated. The “hot spots” were somewhat predictable. (See our [...]
Ghosts are seen and heard at the Texas Governor’s Mansion. That’s not news.
However, our deliberately blurred photo of the Mansion reveals some very interesting, possibly paranormal images. [Link: Austin - Texas Governor's Mansion photo.]
Many people sent us helpful comments. For example, several observant readers mentioned the ghostly apparition of the man [...]
Bailey Cemetery in Portland, Maine has all the ingredients of a good, haunted cemetery. It has Colonial history, unmarked graves, and some neglected plots.
The location is great for Portland ghost enthusiasts who prefer sites that can be reached on foot or via Metro. (That’s local public transportation.)
Unfortunately, the cemetery’s location also makes it [...]
On the northeast side of Portsmouth, at New Castle, a grand Victorian hotel overlooks sailboats, fishing boats and yachts.
For generations, the Wentworth Hotel, also called Wentworth-by-the-Sea, was a summer destination for wealthy families.
Built in 1874, this hotel was synonymous with ‘opulence’ through the 1960s. However, times changed and — by the late 1970s [...]
The Falcon Hotel (Stratford-upon-Avon) is haunted. It’s one of England’s most charming hotels, with 20 rooms in its haunted 16th-century wing, and 64 rooms in the more modern wing.
In June 2007, several Hollow Hill investigators spent the night in the haunted wing of the Falcon. It was comfortable and quiet, even though our rooms [...]
Sometimes, we want to say that there’s a normal explanation for a photo, but… we can’t find one. Not one that works for the setting and the circumstances, that is.
That’s the case with this July 2005 photo at Brennan’s Restaurant on Royal Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
We’ve written about Brennan’s Red [...]
