About Jeff Belanger

Jeff Belanger -- Ghostvillage.com founderVisit Jeff Belanger's Web site: www.jeffbelanger.com
See Jeff's MySpace page: www.myspace.com/ghostvillager 

Jeff Belanger was first introduced to ghosts and the supernatural at age ten, when he and some friends took a Ouija board to a known haunted house in Newtown, Connecticut. He has been writing about ghosts and the supernatural since 1997 when he first interviewed renowned ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren. In 1998, he was tapped to research and write the script for a documentary film on Dudleytown -- an abandoned ghost town in the hills of northeastern Connecticut. The documentary project was never sold, so he took the research and wrote the definitive work on the history and hauntings behind this legendary Connecticut town. That article would be the impetus for Belanger to start Ghostvillage.com.

Jeff brings personality and humor to this subject which makes him one of the most sought-after experts in the field. He's a regular lecturer on the subject of the supernatural, he's been a guest on more than 100 radio programs around the world, and has been featured in television programs covering the paranormal on ABC, NBC, and various regional television stations. Visit our Media Room for more information.

Ghostvillage.com was launched on October 31, 1999 as a repository for Belanger's research and writings on the subject of ghosts and the supernatural. Over time, the site grew to include a vast collection of ghost stories and ghost photos from around the world, and it is now one of the largest supernatural communities on the Web.
