Welcome to the Web's largest and most comprehensive supernatural community! Ghostvillage.com was launched in the autumn of 1999 when writer Jeff Belanger put up the site to host a few articles he had written on the supernatural. What started as six simple Web pages has exploded to more than 50,000 pages of content with contributions by people from all over the world. The Web site averages more than six million hits per month as tens of thousands of "Ghostvillagers" visit to read, weigh in, or learn about this very big subject. Our mission is to openly discuss ghost research and evidence. Ghostvillage.com is the place where paranormal investigators, those who have encountered a ghost or spirit, people curious about the paranormal, and even skeptics come to share views. Though we may not agree with all of the ideas posted on the site, we do welcome all viewpoints. Jeff Belanger still runs Ghostvillage.com with the help of a great team of message board moderators and online content editors.
