    25 Years

    Twenty five years ago I stepped into a haunted house. Back then it was just my home. My family and I were living there and trying to figure out what was happening around us. Those were frightening months. Anyone who has lived through something like that knows how it gets into your head. Even when…

    Bookends

    Every once in a while I stop and look at two books sitting on my shelf. The Uninvited and The Architecture of Shadows. They were written many years apart, but in a strange way they belong to the same story. The Uninvited was the beginning of everything for me. It tells the story of what…

  • The Architecture of Shadows

    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…

  • Nightmares and Dreams: More Than One Explanation

    Nightmares and dreams have always played a part in my life. If you have read any of my books, you already know that. I have had recurring nightmares. The man in the shower in the basement of the house in Union stayed with me for a long time. He followed me into sleep. There was…

    Twenty-Five Years, One Book

    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.

    Before We Name It

    I have been sitting with a question for a while now, and the longer I sit with it, the less interested I am in answering it and the more interested I become in why it keeps showing up, again and again, in such recognizable ways. Across history and across cultures, people have talked about moments…

  • Haunted Lives, Deserving Humility

    There is something I have been watching happen again and again in paranormal spaces, and it worries me more now than it ever did before. It is not the unexplained that concerns me. It is what people do to one another in the name of explaining it. When people reach out for help, they are…

    On Haunted

    A quiet reflection on what remains after a haunting ends, this piece explores how time reshapes trauma, memory, and meaning. Rather than chasing explanations, it focuses on the aftermath: learning to live alongside what lingers, setting boundaries, and finding peace without resolution.
