American Ghost Society

After being on their “Bump in the Night” newsletter mailing list for quite some time, it only seemed appropriate to give this group a weekly shout out. Troy Taylor, site editor of the American Ghost Society, does a great job providing information on all things paranormal, as well as writing some very informative books on ghosts.

Of special interest are their ghost tours and events in Illinois. Don’t miss the Dead of Winter event on March 1 or their Devil in the White City tour on March 29.

The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS)

If you haven’t already seen the TAPS team in action on television (their show, Ghost Hunters), you are missing some of the best ghost hunting on television.  Their no-nonsense approach to paranormal investigations is one of the reason this line of “work” has become so popular.  The TAPS team is more about de-bunking the paranormal than about blowing smoke up someone’s skirt about their being ghosts on their property.

One of their most memorable television shows was their visit to The Stanley Hotel (yep, think ”The Shining”….).  They caught more bizarre stuff on tape than I’ve ever seen on any other show. 

Check out the TAPS website for more information, help or to join their interesting forum.

Paranormal Research Society of North America

The Paranormal Research Society of North America (PRSNA), is located outside of Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  They like to investigate claims of paranormal activity without the use of psychics or psychic tools like divining rods, Ouija boards and the like.  They search for a scientific explanation of things that may be called hauntings.

Visit the PRSNA website if you have some unusual happenings that you would like investigated with scientific accuracy or if you would just like to learn more about this group.

International Ghost Hunter’s Society

Well, if you’re going to give a shout out to a ghost site, this seems like a perfect place to start.

The International Ghost Hunter’s Society site, run by Dave & Sharon Oester has more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at.  (How’s that for a bunch of metaphors!).  If you are looking for an informative site that offers quite a bit- EVPs, a variety of courses in paranormal investigation, photos and a veritable pleothera of books, this one’s for you.

Dave Oester is also a Reiki master, so check out the course he teaches on this interesting form of spiritual healing.

Daily Shout Out Launch

I’ve decided to incorporate a daily shout out to ghost sites that seem to give you the most bang for your buck.  You don’t have to be the best site on the Internet to get a shout out, just have an easy to read website.

So, let the fun begin!

Self-Publish Your Ghost Story

I just wanted to let everyone in on a new website that you can earn Google revenue on.  Check out Public Bookshelf.  New authors can choose whether to get an offer of an upfront payment of projected revenues as well as residual payments for their books, or they can just earn Google revenue without an upfront payment.

If you have a great ghost story, or any other type of story that you’d like to earn a little money on without dealing with vanity publishers, check it out.  (Can’t hurt, might help!)

Entity Seeker

Hi folks,  I just wanted to give a shout out to Entity Seeker.  Located in Alberta, Canada, they are a resource for people that would like a paranormal investigation.  Their website is:  http://www.entityseeker.com/.

They’ve also come out with a new book on the paranormal, Coffee with the Dead.  I haven’t read it yet, but I’ll do a book review if I can locate a copy!

January 11, 2008

Good afternoon all you late risers!  We’re off and running this month after we implemented some changes to become more visible on the Internet.  I’m glad to see so many new visitors have checked us out; hopefully we can create lots of new content to keep everyone coming back.

Our goals over the next three months include adding lots of new stories and informational articles.  To that end, anyone who would like to submit an article for publication may do so at info@ghosts4you.com.  This includes any photos that you would like to submit that go with the articles.  Your byline will be included unless you request us not to!

Of course, you are welcome to share your photos and stories on this blog.  After all, that is why we created it!

Don’t be shy, drop on by and share your ghostly or other paranormal experiences!
