Scaring Up a Good Read

Chilling Tales
Looking for a change of pace read? Do you like short-format stories but with a non-fiction twist? Let's not leave out the main question -- do you believe in ghosts? No, it's not Halloween but for the ghost-story fan in you, we recommend:

Ghost Hunters of New England, penned by Alan Brown, covers New England hauntings in a state by state format. Associations, societies, and teams of investigators showcase parapsychology at its best.

For those of you interested in reading outside our region, Edrick Thay's Haunted Houses covers haunted real estate all over the U.S.

Deborah Blum’s Ghost Hunters tells the story of leading intellectuals, who at the turn of the 20th Century risked their reputations to pursue – and debate -- psychic research.

Head's Up: Lorraine Warren to Speak in East Hampton
Leading psychic researcher, Lorraine Warren is a New England legend and has been called "America’s Top Ghost Hunter." With her late husband Ed, the duo investigated the Amityville Haunting & Southington Funeral Home Case.

Accompanied by Tony Spera, Mrs. Warren will speak about her investigations into the supernatural world on Saturday, March 14, 2009. Registration begins February 1st.
