Oct 9th, 2009 | By Webmaster | Category: Podcasts with Fiona Broome
Fiona answers the most popular, recent questions received at HollowHill.com.
1. How can I join a ghost hunting group?
Fiona recommends checking any search engine with the phrase “ghost hunting” plus group and team, and the name of your city, county or state.
Other resources include message boards at TAPS, Ghost Village, and Para-X radio.
Before joining any group, be sure to review Fiona’s advice in the fourth section of her free Introduction to Ghost Hunting course.
2. What do you think of ___ TV show?
3. Are “blue light” cemeteries real?
For further reading:
- Cemeteries near Bear Creek Park (Houston, TX), including “Blue Light Cemetery,” also known as Hillendahl Cemetery.
- Labradorite – the mineral used in some “blue light” grave markers
4. Is Pine Hill Cemetery, aka “Blood Cemetery,” good for ghost hunting?
Fiona concludes with an update — and some research tips — for Old Center Cemetery in Andover, NH.
Several of these questions were addressed in earlier podcasts. However, friends and fans couldn’t always find those podcasts, so we’ve created a list of them at Hollow Hill’s podcasts mini-sitemap.

I had a chance to visit the Pine Hill cemetery in Hollis NH on October 11th and I’m sad to report that the Abel Blood headstone could not be found. I spent some time talking with another woman who was also looking for it that afternoon. We found just a small pointed piece of a stone in a row that also had others with the last name of Blood. She had grown up in Hollis and this location was the best guess we came up with. I’m not from the area, so if someone familiar with the Abel Blood gravestone could check this out I would appriciate it.

Julie, thanks for the report. I will be very disappointed if the Abel Blood stone has been vandalized or stolen. This is one reason why I don’t list as many haunted locations as I once did, and I’m on the brink of listing no additional cemeteries.
Though I’d like to provide locations for researchers, this information also seems to spark vandalism and thefts. Those people will regret what they’ve done, but by then it may be impossible to reverse the damage.
I’m also sad because people’s final resting places should be respected.
Every time I receive a report like this, it increases my reluctance to add locations to this website, or indicate them in my books.
Although cemeteries have been among our best research locations — due to their accessibility and other factors that I list in my recent book about haunted cemeteries — I think it’s time for us to stop highlighting specific sites for vandals and thrill-seekers who have no interest in genuine research.
