1. MARK NESBITT

Mark Nesbitt Author, Historian & Paranormal Investigator It could be said that Mark Nesbitt’s first ghost investigations took place in the 1970s when he was a National Park Service Ranger at Gettysburg. Patrolling the battlefield at night could be a downright thrilling experience. When his shift was done, he would head for home, one of the historic buildings on the battlefield—buildings that had been used as hospitals during the battle. More than once, in the middle of the night, he was awakened by strange noises which appeared to have no source—at least no visible source. MARK NESBITT   Mark Nesbitt has over the years gathered many ghost stories from park rangers, visitors and people who live in the Gettysburg area. Nesbitt tries to gather factual data on the stories he receives so he can offer a background as to why these ghost stories may have evolved. His stories are factual and interesting and do not just talk about battlefield soldiers and civilians , all are also involved in famous ghost stories in Gettysburg! The entire Ghost Of Gettysburg series is well researched, documented and written. And presents each haunting in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner and maintains the perfect balance of skepticism and belief. Mark's newest book: "Haunted Pennsylania" is now available. Order your copy today! Mark’s collecting of these experiences and other ghostly stories about the historic battlefield eventually became the crux for his national award-winning book Ghosts of Gettysburg (1991). Five more books in the series followed, along with The Ghost Hunter’s Field Guide: Gettysburg & Beyond (2005). After 25 years of interviewing individuals who had experienced the paranormal—often in the haunted sites where the events happened—Mark, in 1994, became truly proactive in the field of paranormal investigation. On the darkened Gettysburg Battlefield, Mark, along with Rick Fisher, founder and president of Paranormal Society of Pennsylvania, began seeking out the ghosts he had written about for so many years. Since then, Mark has participated in, or led, over one hundred investigations of scores of haunted sites in Gettysburg, and on the Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Court House, Wilderness, and Chancellorsville Battlefields; in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Johnstown, Pennsylvania; in Maryland, Ohio, South Carolina, Georgia, and other states. He has also conducted hands-on workshops on paranormal investigation techniques for those interested in learning more about this field. Mark’s forte is EVP—electronic voice phenomena—of which he has several hundred examples. His collection of EVP is the core of his next book, Dead Men Talking: The Spirit Voices of the Civil War.

4. STACEY ALLEN MCGEE

STACEY ALLEN MCGEE, Certified Ghost Hunter and Tour Director for Appalachian GhostWalks Founder of The Alternate Realities Center Stacey Allen McGee ~ Founder and Director Certified Ghost Hunter The ARC ~ Alternate Realities Center Founder and Director Appalachian GhostWalks Tour Director and Ghost Guide With Over Twelve Years Experience In Paranormal Investigations   "The ARC ~ Alternate Realities Center", founded in February 1994, was created by The ARC Founder and International Director, Stacey Allen McGee. The organization is based in the small town of Unicoi nestled in Southern Appalachian Mountains near Johnson City, Tennessee which is located in upper eastern region of the State. The ARC holds area meetings to discuss all manner of the paranormal, offers an alien abduction support group, and offers several walking tours for area residents and area travelers who find themselves passing through the Southern Appalachian Mountains and wish to learn more about our rich history and urban legend, as well as the art and science of ghost hunting. In recent interview, the founder of The ARC has express that to describe me, is to describe my work. The ARC explores the world of unexplained mysteries, engaging phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a strong commitment to scientific methodology and procedures with efforts to focus on the Human equation. Our mission is to continuously represent new inspiration for new paradigm thinking and ideas in an effort to bring about new directions for the potentials of human consciousness, while bringing about a broader sense of self-awareness. "The ARC" is not a cult, single-cause institute, or political action group. However, the organization does consider the study of phenomena with unexplained origins which manifest themselves in the reality of this physical world to be of utmost importance to our further mental and spiritual development as a species in the cosmic scheme of life. Reality is not always quantifiable. Just because something can not be measured, cataloged, or photographed does not mean that it does not exist. However, The ARC utilizes sensitive electronic equipment to document paranormal activity when and where ever possible. Although not exactly proven, yet theorized by known science, we assume that our Universe is one of many and that each Universe has many levels of existence; In other words, it is multiplanar. In this we may extrapolate that there could be many different 'realities'. Furthermore, the organization embraces and celebrates the individual differences of Human beings, recognizing that one individual's perception of the Universe may not be that of another's. "The ARC" sponsors public awareness events as a means by which we may acknowledge the complexity of the known Universe. Our primary purpose is the attempt to present data and scientific evidence that will alter the 'paradigms' of our modern society. Those who are not familiar with this term will be happy to know that a 'paradigm', in its most basic sense, is a 'mental map'. It is the way we perceive, understand, and interpret the world around us. It may also be defined as the accepted 'truth' about the way all things are suppose to be, or behave. Often, the accepted way of doing things, or the way we think about our world invokes frustration as it becomes no longer convenient, or appropriate to suit our immediate need. The desire for change often leads us to open our eyes, as well as our minds, and search beyond the accepted truth. When the act of looking 'outside the box' inspires a 'change of mind', we refer to this as a 'paradigm shift'. Over the years, The ARC, and it's progenitors ~ the United States UFO Information and Research Center, the Southern Appalachian UFO Network, the Northeast Tennessee UFO Network, and the Northeast Tennessee Mutual UFO Network, have had a number of articles and other media coverage. The ARC has had stories in several publications, but when we were published in first and collector's edition of the magaizine "X-Pose'", a magazine published and distributed in several countries in Europe and Canada, we were simply overjoyed. We were in good company as we shared this first edition publication with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny of the X-Files. Also, The ARC was featured on the Emmy Award winning television documentary "Liars and Legends" hosted by Grammy Award winner Bubba Knight. An archive of our newspaper and magazine articles, television and radio interviews, and other past media attention will appear on our website soon. Have you experienced things in your home you can’t explain? Perhaps you have heard noises that go "bump" in the night, or have unusual cold spots in your home? Ever been walking in the forest and saw a footprint, or a creature you could not find in a zoological catalogue? Have you seen unusual objects in the day, or night time sky and would like to talk with someone? Ever had an episode of unexplained time loss, otherwise known as "missing time"? CONTACT US - we are here to help. The organization most certainly encourages individual exploration of both the 'outer' as well as the 'inner' world. Our focus is to promote and maintain global awareness and open mindedness, broadening our scope of acceptance as a species to what is possible in the Universe. In support of our purpose and goals, with "The ARC" approaching it thirteenth anniversary, one could best describe the organization by its more than a decade-old motto... "People helping people to find the truth". "Appalachian GhostWalks" was created by The ARC Founder who also serves as the Tour Director. Stacey Allen attended school for Tourism at the National Career Institue in Tampa, Florida in 1988 through 1989. He has worked in the travel industry for many years and is assisted by two volunteer staff members ~ Michael W. Combs, CGH and Susan E. James, CGH. Both officers volunteer their time to help develop and present an educational, enlightening, and entertaining experience on each of our walking tours. The ARC also offers a Ghost Hunter Certification Class! If you and your family are looking for a really FUN weekend, Appalachian GhostWalks can put together a "Ghost Hunter Weekend" Package which includes the"Ghostology", or "Ghost Hunting" 101 class, as well as one more of their Haunted Historic GhostWalks and Tours located all across the Southern Appalachian Mountain region.

7. Lorriane Warren

Ed and Lorraine Warren The Warrens New England Society for Psychic Research, considered by some to be the top ghost hunters in the US haunted Investigations. The Warrens have published 9 books. They are: Deliver Us From Evil, The Demonologist, The Devil In Connecticut, The Haunted, Werewolf, Satan's Harvest, The Ghosthunters, In A Dark Place and Graveyard. Sadly, Ed Warren, 79, world renowned paranormal researcher and ghosthunter of Monroe, died on Wednesday, (August 23, 2006) at his home with his beloved wife of 61 years, Lorraine Moran Warren by his side. Born on September 7, 1926 in Bridgeport, Mr. Warren was half of the husband and wife team of "Ed and Lorraine Warren, Seekers of the Supernatural." The team was often asked to assist in numerous police investigations involving satanic ritualistic murders, and were in high demand by hundreds of colleges and universities to speak on the subject of the supernatural. The Warrens have been called the nations top psychic researchers for over 3 decades, and have lectured extensively at colleges and universities through out the country. They were 2 of only a handful of investigators ever allowed into the infamous "Amityville Horror" home and have the only pictures ever taken inside the house. The Warrens have had 2 movies made of their cases, one "The Haunted" from their book, and the other "The Demon Murder Case'' also from their book "The Devil in Connecticut." Over the years, rumors have abounded which claim to prove the Amityville case a fraud. How these rumors started and how they became so ubiquitous is unclear; what is clear is that the Warrens saw the house for themselves, and experienced some of the phenomena which occurred. They have photographs and reports which show remarkable proof of the existence of very remarkable phenomena in that house. Official website of Ed and Lorraine Warren www.warrens.net The Warrens found that Mr. Lutz’s descriptions of the paranormal activity in the home were very accurate for a case of demonic possession, although the Lutz’s had never studied demonology--they would not have the actual know how to fabricate the story that they told. History of the property: The property was used as a sort of insane asylum for Native Americans who were sick and dying. There had been an enclosure on the property, where the patients were housed. Inhuman spirits revel in such suffering and are able to infest the graves of those who were buried in unconsecrated ground. Background: The problems at the Amityville house seemed to stem from the Ronald DeFeo murders on November 13, 1974. Mr. DeFeo hated his father and had plotted to kill him--he’d even worked out a scheme by which he could do so. Mr. DeFeo was on drugs, and his father knew about it. Later he said that there was a shadow ghost alongside of him during the killings which compelled him to shoot his two brothers and his sister at 3:15 am on November 13, 1974. Although the houses in this quiet Amityville neighborhood were only 40 feet apart, no neighbors awoke during the shootings. All of the victims were found on their stomachs. The Warrens believe that the victims were in a state of phantomania, which in effect paralyzed them, making them unable to cry out for help. How the Warrens became involved: Ed and Lorraine Warren met with a priest, Father Pecararo, and the Lutzes when they were first called in to investigate. The Lutzes were living at Mrs. Lutz’s mother’s house in Deer Park, NY because they were too afraid to go back to the house to live. They were all but afraid to even speak of the phenomena, so deep was their fear. They’d even left all of their furniture and possessions behind, not daring to return to move out--it simply wasn’t worth the risk. The first time the Warrens went to the house it was with an anchorman from the Channel 5 news, a professor from Duke University, and the president of the American Society for Psychic Research. That first day was horrifying. Lorraine received nonstop clairvisual and clairaudial messages about the phenomena which had occurred. Both Ed And Lorraine were so affected that they vowed they’d never go back into that house again. But they did....and the Amityville Horror story was born. From the case files of the Warrens, Haunted or Paranormal Investigation cases include: Annabelle This is a terrifying case of a raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle. The case is from the 1970’s and is highlighted in the book The Demonologist. This is one of the Warrens most asked about cases. The referral came from an Episcopal priest. A somber toned clergyman told Ed Warren of two young nurses who had communicated with what they thought to be a human spirit. One of the girls’ friends had been attacked physically, and the activity was still in progress, so Ed accepted the case. With that the priest gave Ed the phone number of the girls. Ed immediately called the number and upon reaching one of the girls, Ed verified the existence of the problem and told the young women that he and Lorraine were on their way. The Smurls The home of Jack and Janet Smurl in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, was the scene of a horrific and terrifying haunting from 1985 to 1987. The case received wide attention in the media. Although the house went through three exorcisms and investigations by demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demon refused to leave. The hauntings were chronicled in a book and portrayed in a movie both named "The Haunted". West Point This is a story out of case file’s of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The story is in the book "The Demonologist", it is called "The haunting of West Point" The U.S. Army summoned the Warrens in, to investigate the paranormal phenomena that was occurring. This is precisely what happened at West Point. Werewolf Ed and Lorraine Warren are considered the foremost experts on supernatural phenomena. They have helped families and individuals worldwide, battling ghosts, demons, and other manifestations of the paranormal. This is a case of the man Bill Ramsey, "A true story of demonic possession" and is detailed in a book called "WEREWOLF". Ed and Lorraine became aware of Ramsey’s plight from a segment on a television show called "Incredible Sunday" and managed to track him down in London with the help of police. Lindley Street This is a true story that occurred in Bridgeport, Connecticut about poltergeist activity. This is one of the most asked about cases, THE LINDLEY STREET HAUNTING.   Official website of Ed and Lorraine Warren http://www.warrens.net/
