My publisher just gave me an extension on my upcoming book until the end of the month. Thank goodness. While the manuscript is done, I've been struggling with the historic photos for some reason. I ended up going through a photo agency for high-resolution versions of some of the historic photos and illustrations. This is going to be an amazing book, so I'm grateful I don't have to rush the last part of the process. Every curse has an origin story. I'm very excited about the upcoming edition of Haunted Magazine. I wrote an article about a recent visit to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and my experience in an abandoned family cemetery in the middle of the woods. #HauntedMagazine In case you missed it, I’m heading back to Dragon Con as a featured professional, September 3–7, 2026 in Atlanta. Thrilled to be returning for my third year in a row! Someone was looking for a classic example of pareidolia. Here's one from Salem that made the news back in 2017 after the former mayor posted it on IG. I shot this photo and managed to capture these same disembodied face in the lamppost. I know it's matrixing, but it still creeps me out. 👻 Enjoyed filming this segment on Salem with Dawson Toller for his Youtube channel. Great job Dawson and thank you for respecting the ghosts of the Witch City. Dawson's colleague, Michael, had an amazing breakthrough at the end and really enjoyed watching this investigation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOLXSw0Jnvk Guess what crept into my mailbox this morning? The latest issue of Haunted Magazine—complete with a chilling sneak peek of my upcoming book, "Haunted Castles of New England," including a haunted highlight on Belcourt of Newport in Rhode Island. We have a new Spirit Squad class starting June 1st that will go in-depth into paranormal investigation techniques. This is perfect for those who don't necessarily identify as a medium, but interested in trying different approaches in paranormal investigation. In addition to paranormal investigating, we will also have a class on Bigfoot tracking and demonology. What tools work best? Are apps actually communicating with spirit? How can you incorporate mediums into a paranormal investigation? Classes are held online starting Monday, June 1, 2026 and will be held every Monday 7-9 pm through Monday, June 29, 2026. https://massparacon.square.site/product/spirit-squad-14-investigation/77 In honor of Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day falling on the same weekend, MASS ParaCon is offering discounted VIP passes for 2 ($199 for two VIP passes/normally $250) and for those celebrating Friday the 13th instead, we marked down the single VIP from $150 to $113.
