Dear Ghostvillagers,
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue may just be one of the most haunted addresses in the world. The White House is not only home to the President and First Family, but also the many ghosts who have been reported throughout the building and the surrounding grounds over the last few centuries. Any of you who have attended my lectures over the years know that this is one of my favorite haunts. And 2008 also marks an election year, which means either Barack Obama or John McCain stand to win the presidency and at least four years of living in a haunted mansion. After years of research, including a trip to Washington, DC, to tour the building and interview some of the staff, I'm proud to announce the imminent release of my new book,
Who's Haunting the White House?
This book is full-color, illustrated, and contains many historic photos and many accounts from employees and residents of this amazing building. With so much history, so many important decisions made under that roof, and a myriad of dignitaries visiting, it's no wonder so many ghostly reports have come from the President's mansion. But is it really haunted? Don't take my word for it. To quote President Harry S Truman, "The place is haunted, sure as shootin'." This month we're going to explore the ghosts of the White House a little deeper and discuss the paranormal and children.
Who's Haunting the White House? is aimed at readers ages 9 and up. I'm using ghosts as an innovative way to teach history. It's my first book for the younger market, and I'm hoping you'll support me on this one as you have with my other books in the past. The book will be released in the first week of October, but it's available for pre-order on Amazon.com right now. Be sure to place your order, or reserve your copy at your favorite local bookseller.
And speaking of kids and ghosts... this month I'm also proud to announce the launch of an entirely new section of our Village:
http://Kids.Ghostvillage.com! This is a first -- an Internet resource specifically designed for kids, parents, and educators on how to broach the subject of ghosts. The site offers a guide to Junior Ghost Hunters, a section to help parents who may be dealing with a haunting and small children under the same roof, and a section for educators who want to incorporate ghosts in the classroom as a learning tool. I hope you'll take a minute to check out the new Web site and share your own experiences. As with everything on Ghostvillage.com, the Kids' section will grow and expand as we move forward.
It's mid-September, which means the busy Halloween season has already started for us here at Ghostvillage.com. In the coming two months, I'll be offering many lectures and will be a guest on quite a few radio and television shows. If you do see me out and about, please don't be shy. Come over and introduce yourself. I love meeting fellow Ghostvillagers and swapping stories.
One last reminder about the paranormal experiences survey we're hosting for Dr. Barry E. Taff, Jack Rourke, Pat Wheelock, and Dr. Andrew Nichols. If you haven't done so already, please take a minute to take the survey:
