Patterns emerge when I study profoundly haunted (or “active”) areas. They help me identify overlooked ghosts and paranormal phenomena.
In my previous book, The Ghosts of Austin, Texas, I described two major paranormal patterns connecting almost all hauntings in downtown Austin. With that information, ghost [...]
Austin, Texas is a wonderfully haunted city. Its ghosts are more colorful than most, with the kinds of histories you’d expect from a “wild west” city. In fact, many of Austin’s ghosts linger because they want to, not because they’re stuck in our earthly plane.
These are the five places that I’d visit with [...]
When I was taking ghost photos for my book, The Ghosts of Austin, Texas, I captured several odd images that weren’t included in the book.

Many ghost hunters know a few haunted locations that consistently provide ghostly phenomena.
One of the largest and most haunted cemeteries in Portsmouth, NH fits that description.

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.

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:

Ghosts are seen and heard at the Texas Governor’s Mansion. That’s not news.
