Dear Ghostvillagers,
This is it, folks... we wait all year for it... October. Halloween,
Samhain, ghosts, and the supernatural on center-stage
(where we know it belongs anyway). The population of our
Ghostvillage swells, and the "spirit" moves to
full-force in us all. I love it.
September was a significant month of evolution for
Ghostvillage.com. First, if you've been on the site in the
last few weeks, you'll notice a completely new look as
well as a new "Resources" section. The new
section is so we can bring you even more articles,
editorials, and general content.
October is also the month we get to have a little fun with
our rather serious study. To that end, if anyone goes all
out with decorating their house for Halloween, how about sending us a
picture? We'll post it in the new section.
In other news, I will be giving a "Legends of the
Supernatural" lecture in the Milford, Massachusetts
area the week before Halloween. I should have a solid date and time in the next few
days -- watch Ghostvillage.com for more information.
This month also marks Ghostvillage.com's fourth
anniversary of bringing you ghost research, evidence, and
discussion. Four years ago, we broke ground on our village
and we have grown every single day since. This growth
would not have been possible without Ghostvillagers like
you visiting us as often as you do, sharing your personal
encounters and research, and contributing to our
distinguished population. Thank you all for coming
together like you have. Our future is brighter than ever
as our collective voice grows even louder. Have a great
Halloween/Samhain season!
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

Mayor of Ghostvillage.com
