Dear Ghostvillagers,
This month I'm very proud to announce the arrival of my new book, Our Haunted Lives: True Life Ghost Encounters! The little feller was born this month weighing in at 222 pages and costs $14.99. I survived the labor pains and am recovering nicely, thank you.
Our Haunted Lives is a book that arguably I began working on in 1997. Back in '97 I had no idea I would be writing any books, but I knew I wanted to know more about ghosts and the supernatural. It was back in '97 that I was talking to someone who said she saw a ghost in Dudleytown, Connecticut. Now, I wasn't there when she had her experience, so I can't tell you with certainty that she saw something. But I can tell you beyond any doubt that this girl was moved by whatever it was that she did see. The way she described her experience, her eyes only looked away from mine in order to find the right words, and the way her body tensed up with fear as she relived her moment of contact made me a believer in her. Short of having a supernatural experience for yourself, speaking one-on-one with a witness to a ghostly event is the most compelling evidence for ghosts that there is.
For years people have been telling me about their ghost experiences -- their testimony is gripping. Since my days as a newspaper reporter I have always kept my trusty hand-held tape recorder by my side. When I interview a witness, the tape rolls so I can pay attention to our conversation and so I don't miss anything. Replaying the tape for me was almost like reliving the encounter. In Our Haunted Lives, I present the experiences in the words of the witnesses. I want you to read what I heard. I tried to ask the questions you might have asked. It's a new approach to documenting ghost encounters, and I hope you'll all support me on this and pick up the book. You can click on the book cover to buy it through Amazon or ask for it in your local bookstore. Our Haunted Lives is also the place where I present the entire interview with George Lutz, the man whose experiences in Amityville, New York back in 1975 sparked many books and movies that often exaggerated or completely made up what really happened. I spoke to Mr. Lutz for hours about everything he's experienced since the summer of 1975 right through present day. Sadly, George Lutz died this past May and this interview was one of the last major discussions he ever had on the record. Was Amityville a hoax? See what George Lutz himself had to say about it.
This month's theme is a discussion of our very haunted lives. Talk about the book or share your own experiences in our
message board of the month. I'm also pleased to announce that this Friday I will be a guest on the
Jeff Rense radio program and Sunday I will be on
Coast to Coast AM with George
Noory. If you're listening, please call in and say hello! Enjoy the rest of the newsletter below.
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

| Who's Who in the Town Square? |
Get to know some of your fellow Ghostvillagers.
>>wayne2241<< - member since October 25, 2002
What is your name?
Wayne Hackler
How old are you?
39
Where do you live?
Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, a nice suburb of Madison
What do you do for a living?
A Realtor with Century 21
What got you interested in the supernatural?
The home I grew up in, on the property that my family has lived in for over 200 years, is haunted. My mother instilled in me a
belief in ghosts and hauntings. We accepted it as a normal thing. We have several entities living there with us, not all of
them nice. I am performing an ongoing investigation there whenever I go home, usually 2 or 3 times a year. My family gathers
evidence for me during my absence using sound, established protocols.
Are you aware of any real estate laws in your area concerning disclosing to potential buyers if you feel your house is haunted?
Here in Wisconsin, there are no rules or laws about disclosing a potential haunted property to a person... yet. With a growing
population with new age beliefs, it is only a matter of time.
Have you ever had a customer ask about selling or buying a haunted home?
I haven’t had anyone ask about it yet, but I’m on the lookout for a haunted property or two for myself.
What's your all-time favorite movie?
My all-time favorite movie, that’s a toughie. I would have to say The Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price. He was the man as far as cerebral horror goes.
