Playing With the Ghosts

Every child has had an imaginary friend.

But were they really all that imaginary; or did encroaching adulthood deprive us of something very real? We’re here  to try and  find an answer.

This blog is going to be open-minded, light-hearted and often tongue-in-cheek in its approach to the paranormal. And this close to Halloween what could be more fitting than an interview with a professional paranormal investigator? I’m keeping her identity a secret for now simply for the sake of suspense, but her name and website will be listed in the interview. This is one fine lady who not only runs her evidence through computer programs to detect tampering, she has professional photographers examine her photos for authenticity before posting them on her website. She goes so far as to keep a permanent skeptic as part of her staff, one who’s sole purpose is to debunk any evidence found during their investigations.

There is quite an array of finely tuned, expressly purposed, expensive equipment involved in ghost hunting, and I’m hoping promoting the technical aspects and purpose of each piece will increase paranormal readers’ understanding and enjoyment in future books.

The interview will be posted in about two weeks, so if you have any specific questions feel free to shoot them my way in the next couple days and I’ll try to have them included in the discussion.

In the future we’ll be visiting notable haunted Mississippi and Louisiana sites, providing readers and writers with a rich background of local flora, fauna and information.

And to pique your interest–I really want you visiting again–I’m posting two photos taken a second apart during a New Orleans Haunted History Tour.  We were in front of the officially documented as haunted Andrew Jackson Hotel at 919 Royal Street in the French Quarter. The first photo shows a typical building front. The second shows streaks of light shooting in front of and behind the palm plant and support post, as well as what seems to be the ghostly image of an old long-gun, the butt in the lower right side and extending across the picture.

         So until we meet again, Happy Ghost Hunting!
