Sharon Day, author of “Ghost Hunting Theories” blog shares
the unsettling accounts of her and her family’s experiences at the 250-year-old
house they called home in Northern Virginia. The actively haunted estate had
been used as a field hospital during the Civil War and left a lingering residue
of haunting activity, apparitions, voices, object movement, and more. To the author, growing up there since she was
a baby, the phenomena seemed quite normal and natural. It honed her desire to
understand how and why hauntings occur and led her as an adult into the field
of paranormal investigation.
Author of nonfiction, horror, science fiction and paranormal romance.

Paranormal Geeks
“Paranormal Geeks” by Sharon Day and Julie Ferguson is an endearing homage to those of us who are into everything from UFOs to psychics, Bigfoot to ghosts, zombies to conspiracy theories. These two humorous paranormal bloggers interviewed dozens of paranormal geeks to find what made them PGs, their types, degrees, and ways they express it in their lifestyles and hobbies. There is a quiz to find out how much of a geek you are and a certificate to honor you in the end. The book also contains a large resources section to get your paranormal geek interests advanced to the next level. These authors take you on a magical journey into the minds of paranormal geeks and in the end remind us that we have found our large and varied tribe. As the authors like to remind us, “we outnumber the normal people.”
"Paranormal Geeks" is an overview of an underestimated American subculture. It's good to know I fit in somewhere, and maybe you do too. Take the quiz and find out. (Cliff Barackman, "Finding Bigfoot" show on Animal Planet)
"I used to hide my UFO books and articles when my friends would come to visit. I knew it wasn't "cool" to be into aliens and spaceships and I didn't want to explain to them for hours how much they didn't know. Certified GEEK. Finally, a book that represents all those hiding in the paranormal closet!" (Ben Hansen, "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" Syfy Channel)
