Personally
I like Jeff Belanger very much. I
happened to meet him personally on
two separate occasion in my life.
The first time was at a NJ Ghost Conference
in 2006. Jeff Belanger of Ghostvillage.com
was how he was introduced to me. He
talked about haunted locations from
as near as haunted Washington DC,
with it's political ghosts and haunting's.
The White House in Washington,
DC. he'd personally been there once
and had the opportunity to interview
some of the staff about their ghosts.
He also explained how you can’t
get up into the second and third floors
of the building without an invitation
from the First Family. He also spoke
of how he would love to sleep in the
actual Lincoln Bedroom.
He also spke of the
intensely centuries old Haunted City
of Lights, Paris, France. I was ompressed
by his sharpness and claity of how
he spoke. The man is a true story
teller. He captivated so much after
his beautifully done presentation
I had to stand right away and applaud.
I am really a sucker for guys like
Belanger what every they say I just
look into their dreamy eyes and and
say .... wow!
Mr.
Belanger so sorry if I blinded you!
Not because he's handsome
which he is. Not because he is a great
Story teller. Not because I undressed
him with my eyes. Not that I didn't.
But because I Knew what he said I
felt in my heart to be true. The man
Is well studied in the field of Parapsychology.
He does his homework, and is genuine
in his beliefs.
L’Aura Hladik,
Founder of NJGHS did a great job when
she booked him for the convention.
I also got to meet, Kelly Waver, Founder
of the Spirit Society of PA,. Author
Charles J. Adams III who told some
great scarey ghost stories, The man
should be on TV . Author Rosemary
Ellen Guiley (The Encyclopedia of
the Strange, Mystical and Unexplained)
talked about one of her latest paranormal
cases.She is the Maryland representative
for John Zaffis's Paranormal Research
Society of New England, which focuses
on negative haunting problems.
She is also a well known psychic/clairvoyant
who has claimed to have cleared ghosts
from such locations as the Waverly
Institute in Louisville, KY. She is
a member of the League of Paranormal
Gentlemen, a team of paranormal experts
that works for Spooked Productions
on docu-dramas about paranormal cases.
Guiley makes frequent first-hand investigations
of haunted places, and is a featured

talked about exorcisms. Zaffis has
made appearances on Unsolved Mysteries,
Fox News Live and the Discovery Channel
documentaries Little Lost Souls and

Museum of the Paranormal located in
Stratford, Connecticut.
The soon to be Great
Vince Wilson. Vince Wilson is the
founder of the Maryland Paranormal
Investigators Coalition, a regular
lecturer on the subject of supernatural
research. Ghost Science is Wilson's
second book focusing on the most technical
aspects of ghost hunting. Vince has
always been interested in science,
history and the unexplained since
as far back as he can remember. Lingering
around in the back of his mind for
over a year he was inspired to finally
create a group of paranormal investigators
with an invested interest in serious
research into the paranormal. The
inspiration came from his long time
friend from high school, Renée
Hamer (Colianni). Together they founded
the Baltimore Society for Paranormal
Research. However, that would not
be enough...
Vince found that there were so many
organizations in Maryland that were
not exactly 'professional' that it
was hard to gain ground in the field.
When colleagues from other states
heard he was from Maryland, they generally
rolled their eyes sarcastically. Maryland,
one of the most haunted areas around,
had a bad rep for paranormal research!
That is when he founded the Maryland
Paranormal Investigators Coalition.
A group of groups dedicated to serious
paranormal research and scientific
observation.
In 2005 Vince came out with his first
book on ghost investigating- Ghost
Tech, the Essential Guide to Paranormal
Investigation Equipment. This entertaining
and informative book offers a wealth
of practical information on basic
equipment operations, the ins and
outs of using the equipment during
investigations and much more. The
book explores the nature of ghosts,
temperature detection devices and
how to use them, the uses and misuses
of EMF meters, recording the voices
of the dead, using cameras for investigations,
recording the paranormal on video,
various types of equipment and how
to use it and much more! This is a
must-have book for anyone with an
interest in ghost research and the
proper use of the scientific equipment
that has become so prevalent in the
supernatural field. It is an essential
guide to paranormal research and the
perfect addition to any ghost hunter's
tool kit!
He has lectured on ghost hunting
technology and has also appeared on
all the major local TV stations in
the Baltimore area and on numerous
radio stations in regards to his work
in paranormal research. He has also
been featured on Creepy Canada in
2005 aboard the USS Constellation
and the Discovery Channel in 2006
for an investigation he did at the
Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore.
He lives in a possibly haunted location
in Southeast Baltimore (he refuses
to investigate his own house) with
his cats Monty, Teddy, and Tucker.
Kelly Waver, Founder

About
Lisa Lee Harp Waugh
Have
The Dead Spoken To You Lately?
Lisa Lee Harp Waugh
The American Necromancer
The first lady of conjuring the Dead.
The ancient art pf Necromancy is still
alive today with Waugh at it's main
investigator. LISA LEE HARP WAUGH
Is a necromancer in the 21st century.
She is by what may call a real conduit
to the world of the dead. She dressers
in ceremonial robes, draws magical
circles on the floor and commands
spirits from Heaven, Hell and all
places in between to appear before
her and communicate with the living.
As a teenager she studied heavily
The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish
and The Grand Grimoire by A.E Waite,
the Malleus Maleficarum and anything
she could get her hands on by the
great by Eliphas Levi, John Dee and
the great beast, Aleister Crowley.
www.ghosthuntersofamerica.com
A professional Necromancer and founder
of the Sorcerers and Necomaner Guild
of greater Houston, Texas. Waugh has
been practicing and conducting rituals
for many paranormal investigators
for over 20 years. Waugh also paints
many spiritual and common murals and
lives in a small Texas town with her
three dogs. She also over the years
makes ceremonial candles and is active
in ghost hunting in the deep South.
Summoning the dead to communicate
with the living is a natural daily
occurrence for Waugh. "I have
been doing this since I was a child."
" When I lived in Galveston,
Texas about 15 years ago, I was introduced
to the ancient rights of ceremonial
Necromancy as a ritual by a great
shaman called Freebird, and because
of him and his diligence to the art,
I still practice it until this day."
"However, if a spirit has something
vital to impart to you, they will
call upon you, not vice-versa and
no ritual is needed".
She then Got involved with the local
Hoodoo Voodoo's of the area and new
doors where opened to her concerning
communicating with the dead.
Waugh was baptized and trained in
the secret dark religion by Bianca
The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Waugh
lived in New Orleans for 3 years until
she learned all about spells, hex's
and how to hoodoo voodoo people as
she says.
Waugh also owned and managed the
fantastic Candle Making Company in
Galveston, Texas for many years that
catered to the eclectic patrons taste
of many of the states visitors and
just curious. She then moved to Houston's
Famous Vodoun area 5th ward. This
now where she resides to this day.
Her home today is a testimony to Necromancy
and her new found religion of Voodoo
Hoodoo.
Necromantic practitioners such as
Waugh conducts, and entails respect
and reverence not only for the spirits
of the dead, but for the spirits of
Hell, Heaven and all places in between.
Waugh has a large home one room she
has painted black where she calls
the good spirits. Another painted
all black where she calls the infernal
spirits.
The
American Ghost Hunters Society is
currently accepting new members all
across the country for our network
of ghost hunters, ghost writers and
ghost enthusiasts.
We
Investigate all types of Paranormal
and Unexplained Phenomena through
Research and Documentation.
Waugh is often compared today in
her facial features and many similar
practices as being a modern Dr. John
Dee. He of course was one of the most
fascinating characters of the Elizabethan
period just as Waugh is recognized
as such in modern times. The events
of Dee's life are filled with science,
experiments, astrology and mathematics
which he aligned with magic, the supernatural
and alchemy! All of which is Waugh's
personal passion and driven honest
beliefs. These are also stead fast
traditions she does and true in practicing
openly. A few of her select followers
say she is the actual reincarnation
of John Dee. Waugh also practices
astrology, and is very continuously
studying the Black Arts.
Waugh, a real big hearted Texas gal
does not comment on any of this privately
or publicly ... for she is humble
in her paranormal studies and research
to the core. Gina Lanier a close friend
of her's relates: "Waugh is a
very outgoing friendly, charming and
a downright loveable person, and gets
along equally well with the living
and the dead." Lanier and Waugh
once investigated a real Haunted Texas
Federal Prison together for close
to two years in the early 1990's and
had many startling paranormal adventures
while there.
Lisa Lee Harp Waugh's accomplishments
have been achieved through hard work,
persistence, and a goal-oriented attitude
required to overcome obstacles and
reach difficult goals. Waugh shares
her approach to communicating with
the dead's success in this motivational
performance that's sure to inspire
Paranormal Investigators to excel
in their life.
