Paranormal

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…

So where did my understanding of the paranormal really come from? My own haunting played a big part in my search for answers. It didn’t come from equipment or theory. It came from experience. From being in places where nothing dramatic happened, and yet something lingered anyway. Places that looked ordinary, sounded ordinary, but made…

I see the Screaming House brought up in groups, pages, and podcasts from time to time, and it always gives me pause. Not because I am eager to revisit it, but because it is a strange thing to watch your own life get discussed when you never said a word. That happens more than I…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fact that I’ve been doing this work for twenty-five years now. That number landed on me in a way I didn’t expect. Not as a milestone. Not as something to celebrate. Just as a quiet realization that a large part of my life has been spent sitting…

I have been watching some of the conversations happening across paranormal sites and blogs, and I want to make something very clear. If you are going to talk about my work, please make sure you have the facts first. A lot of people like to take credit for my research, and a lot of people…

I often think of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol when I think about ghosts this time of year. December has always felt like the most haunted month to me. Not because it is frightening, but because it brings the past closer. Dickens understood that. He tapped into something deeply human when he wrapped a ghost story…

Today feels a little unreal. After ten years, my next true paranormal book is officially out in the world. Zombie Road is available now, wherever books are sold. I first stepped onto Zombie Road back in 2006. At the time, I thought it was just another local legend, the kind of story every town has.…

My paranormal voice has been quiet for ten years. Not because I disappeared, but because I was learning. Watching. Letting the noise fall away so I could see the larger pattern. That silence ends now. Zombie Road is where the work began. Architecture of Shadows is where the work evolves. I am not returning as…
