As a paranormal investigator for a dozen years, I have constantly kept a close eye on the paranormal stories that make their rounds on the internet and television. I have seen some stories turn out be hoaxes and some go on to become urban legends. I am amazed at what some people will believe when it comes to paranormal stories. My effort here is to bring you a sample of some of the latest and most important stories in the field of the unknown and give a twist with insight from my experience in dealing with these stories as well as the fields within them. It will be a blend of reporting and blogging when it comes to these stories and when needed I will investigate them at various levels. I want to dig for the reality behind these stories so that they do not take on a myth of their own or are not misunderstood in the future.
I don't claim to be an expert in any particular field and I do not claim to be a specialist of any sort. I have studied and collected life experience in various aspects of many areas and fields that pertain to the paranormal, U.F.O. and crytpid investigations. I have operated the
Ohio Paranormal Investigation Network since late 1996 (and have written
two books on operating a ghost investigation group), I am the Ohio Regional Director for
ParaNexus, am a former
M.U.F.O.N. Field Investigator trainee and still conduct U.F.O. sighting and related investigations according to their great Field Investigators's Manual and I currently work with the
Sasquatch Research Initiative as an Ohio representative and am the Ohio representative for the
Crypto Squad U.S.A., the U.S. Office of the
Centre for Fortean Zoology based in the UK.
The news is divided up into three specific groups; Ghosts (covering psychic and other true "paranormal" events and the groups that investigate them), U.F.O.s (sightings and other scientific, social and political events behind them), Cryptids (Cryptozoology, out of place, out of date and undiscovered animals). I have decided to focus on these three areas specifically and avoid fringe topics as well as conpiracy theories that tend to infiltrate paranormal sites.
I have provided a news feed from Paranormal News.com. Many of the categories get updated more frequently than others, but they will give you a taste as to what is happening in the paranormal world. These categories are repeated in their respective pages of focus.
I have dumped the "Earth" segment of the news and added a blog section. The blog will follow my insights and rants into current news stories or topics and will be the source of some of my inside information about my personal investigations into the ghost, U.F.O. and cryptid worlds.
The site may go days without being updated as the real focus is on the Grand Dark Conspiracy Podcast as well as my dedication to my family, my paranormal investigation group and other ongoing projects. Rest assured, I am digging into these and other stories...
The Grand Dark Conspiracy is a listener driven forum and podcast site that has hosted Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach and author John Katchuba in its first four months. I was honored to be the first guest on the show as well as a follow-up guest discussing topics other than my ghost hunting background. I was asked to come back as a repeat guest to discuss the news of the previous month. It will be a show within the show. Catch the monthly news update on the Grand Dark Conspiracy as well as on itunes.
Some past guests for the show were Nuclear Physicist and U.F.O. researcher Stanton Friedman, Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach, Demonologist Dave Considine of Phantasm Psychic Research and Don Keating of the Sasquatch Triangle WebShow. If you want to ask questions for upcoming guests or suggest potential guests, click the Grand Dark Conspiracy link below and sign up on the message board. Members of the message board will also get to suggest upcoming guests and will be the first to hear when the guests are chosen.

This website was created for the paranormal enthusiast or fan of specific types of media deemed "paranormal". As this site was created for you I look to your guidance for the direction and input of this site. I will do my best to keep things as current as possible for my focus events on the specific pages. The forum is the best place to mingle with myself and others involved in this field in various capacities. Feel free to share your opinion of this site and its content as well as add to the news.
The monthly podcast of the events of the past month will typically make its debut on the
Grand Dark Conspiracy podcast. The Grand Dark Conspiracy runs an hour or more with interviews of a variety of interesting people in different areas of the paranormal field (past guests include Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach and author John Katchuba) along with their listener driven "Camp Fire Tales" segment. The Paranormal News Insider segment will be a five to ten minute segment worked in between these segments. The monthly Paranormal News Insider podcast will then be available for the viewers on this site as its own show.
I have been exploring the idea of running our own show based upon the segment put on the Grand Dark Conspiracy a week or so after its made its debut, we have set up a NowLive.com page and the future show will be available on itunes. This will allow me flexibility to do the show when I want and not be tied down to a time and schedule. Show themes will be a direct result of YOU, the submissions of the listeners and those who frequent the forum. No date has been selected for our first show, stay tuned.
