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 [...]
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.)

Bradford College, Bradford, Massachusetts – 11 March 2000
Pre-visit preparations
Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much at Bradford. Many ghost stories at colleges like Bradford have scant foundations, and are actually stories traded among students as a way of bonding, being part of the community, and other psychological benefits.

Tupelo West, and the conclusion of the ghost hunt
At this point, I was on auto-pilot, but didn’t realize it. The encounter at Denworth Theatre had taken a lot out of me.
We entered Tupelo West, but it felt entirely clear of spectral energy. However, I [...]
On the path to Tupelo West, passing by Tupelo Pond
I was still nauseous as we walked through the rapidly-falling snowflakes towards Tupelo West.
