BOOKS

To me nothing
is more pleasurable and paranormal related
then to sit down on a rainy afternoon
and read a book by the amazing Troy
Taylor. I think I own everything the
man has ever written, And usually am
on pins and needles waiting for his
next book to hit the shelves.
Known to many as the Ghost Hunting
Paranormal researcher and writer. The
man is a dynamo when it comes to haunted
and paranormal research. He is more
then just well respected as a writer
for he is also a man of facing challenges
and the world of the non believer almost
single handedly.
Taylor writes in a matter of fact style
and an easy reading way. It almost tells
you out right that old phrase of "believe
it or not"! And I think that's
the exact stand point one should approach
the paranormal from. Yes of course Troy
Taylor is one prolific writer, and his
many great books certainly just keep
getting better and better.
Troy Taylor is the author of 57 books
(and counting) about history, haunting's
and the unexplained in America for a
number of publishers, including Whitechapel
Press, History Press, Stackpole Books,
Barnes & Noble Press, and others.
Taylor is the founder and president
of the “American Ghost Society”,
a national network of ghost hunters
that collects accounts of ghost sightings
and haunted houses and uses investigative
techniques to track down real evidence
of the supernatural and paranormal activity.
Born on September 24, 1966 in Decatur,
Illinois. Taylor grew up more then just
fascinated with “things that go
bump in the night”,In his younger
years Taylor was well-known for his
deep interest in the paranormal and
ghosts, He often took friends on his
personal ghost tours of haunted places
all over downstate Illinois.
In 1989, Taylor turned his interest
in the supernatural into a career when
he began working on his first book,
Haunted Decatur The well received book
spawned the Haunted Decatur Tour in
1994, which took guests to locations
that he had written about in his book.
In 1996, Taylor organized a group of
ghost enthusiasts into an investigation
team and the American Ghost Society
was launched, gained over 600 members
in the years that followed. The organization
continues today as one of America’s
largest and most honored research groups.
In 1997, Taylor launched the Haunted
America Conference, regarded as "America's
Original Ghost Conference" in Decatur,
Illinois. After a number of years in
Alton, Illinois, the conference has
returned to its original site at the
Lincoln Theater in Decatur. The Haunted
America Conference remains the most
imitated and prestigious conference
to attend in the country and is now
preparing for its 13th annual event
in 2009.

The city
of Chicago is unquestionably the weirdest
and most haunted city in America! With
a history dating back to the early 1800s
that is filled with violent events, mysterious
happenings and a lot of very strange characters,
there is no other place like it in the
country. Now, in the most complete book
ever written on Chicago ghosts and strange
history, the creators of the Weird Chicago
Tours reveal just how that homegrown weirdness
has shaped the city that we know today
- and shows that Chicago is weirder than
any city should legally be allowed to
be! With notebooks and cameras in hand,
the Weird Chicago crew has scoured the
city in search of the haunted, the odd
and the offbeat. They have tracked down
bizarre history, unusual people, weird
roadside attractions, forgotten remnants
of the past, unexplained happenings and
more ghost stories than have appeared
in any other book before, plus the truth
behind many Chicago hauntings that you
only thought you knew! From Hull House
to Resurrection Mary, to Dillinger to
Al Capone, this book showcases the most
unusual aspects of Chicago - and just
what makes it so haunted, weird &
unique! Packed full of stuff that you
aren't going to find anywhere else, this
is a journey that you're never going to
forget!
