Screaming House

I spend some time every day reading paranormal pages and following the conversations people are having. Like many of you, I enjoy seeing what people are experiencing, photographing, questioning, and discussing. There are a lot of thoughtful people in this community, and I appreciate that. Lately, though, I have noticed something that concerns me. For…

I’ve spent most of my life behind microphones and in front of cameras. In many ways, it is where I feel most comfortable because it was what I was trained to do. Broadcasting. Debate. Theater. Public speaking. Years of learning timing, rhythm, presence, and how to hold the attention of a room. I actually prefer…

You know what aggravates me? I mean, can I talk openly with you all without someone going off the deep end because they accidentally recognize themselves in what I’m about to say? I hope so because you know me. I’m going to say it anyway, and preferably before my coffee gets cold. I’m tired of…

When I wrote The Uninvited about the Screaming House, I wanted to reach the people who might be living through something similar. I wanted them to know they were not alone. I have been doing this work for a long time. But I have never gathered what I have learned into one place before. For…

A question that comes up often is how to protect yourself from negative paranormal energy. This deserves a thoughtful answer, not a dramatic one. I do not start from the assumption that something is “negative paranormal energy.” That does not mean I dismiss people’s experiences. It means I begin with discernment instead of fear. A…

This book isn’t built around one house, one road, or one case. It’s the result of more than twenty-five years of doing this work. Being invited into people’s lives. Standing in difficult places. Trying to understand what was happening without rushing past it.
