Dear Ghostvillagers,
We
have very big news to announce this month -- The
Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World is
here! This book is a true first for the field of supernatural research. Not only
does the book include photographs, eyewitness accounts, and investigation
research notes from hundreds of haunted locations from around the globe, it's
also the first book to be written by the local paranormal investigators who know
these locations best.I'm proud to have been the editor and compiler of this massive book. Scores of the world's leading investigators wrote about the history and ghosts from some of their favorite haunts, and the result is a directory that can serve as a haunted travel guide, a book of ghost encounters, and in the back is a region-by-region directory including contact information for paranormal investigators from all over the United States, Canada, Europe, the Far East, and Australia. Inside, there are interviews with some of the most renowned ghost investigators including: Dr. Hans Holzer, Ed and Lorraine Warren, Troy Taylor, and Loyd Auerbach.
Our field of study is organizing, growing, and doing some fantastic work, and this book is a celebration of that growth. I hope you'll pick this book up and show your support for the many people doing this work. As with all of my books, your purchase also helps Ghostvillage.com grow -- and grow we have!
This past month we've added several new feature articles and news items, and we've welcomed hundreds of new Ghostvillagers. We've also added several new paranormal talk radio programs to our radio page. If you haven't checked this out yet, run, don't walk... to: http://www.ghostvillage.com/resources/ghostradio.shtml. There are great paranormal shows going on every day of the week, and you can tune in directly from our site. Think of us as your haunted radio on the Web.
Folks, we're about to enter our busy Halloween season and there are huge things in the works! Thanks for being a part of our village and enjoy the rest of the newsletter below.
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

| Who's Who in the Town Square? |
>>juliet_keller<< - member since January 1, 2003What is your name?
Juliet Marie Keller
How old are you?
Ugh... 29 + 1
Where do you live?
Wadsworth, Ohio
What do you do for a living?
I'm a State Tested Nursing Assistant, but getting ready for school to be a Licensed Practical Nurse.
How did you get interested in the supernatural?
My aunt was a dream interpreter and got me interested in the paranormal when I was 7 years old. I had been doing investigation on my own for two years until I met Dave and now we have been working as a team called "The Spirit Stalkers" for about a little over two and a half years together doing paranormal investigations. I also still like to delve into Ouija boards and tarot cards as well, from time to time, and I seem to have picked up on my aunt's sense of dream abilities, too.
In your opinion, what is the most critical piece of equipment to bring along in an investigation?
Dave, because he makes me laugh... no, seriously... that's a toughie. Either a 35mm camera with 400 speed film or a regular voice recorder -- either one or the other are just basic pieces of equipment that you can use on any ghost hunts.
Favorite ice cream flavor?
Another toughie... I'm not one for ice cream, but if it would have to be anything, it would have to be just a plain chocolate milk shake.
