As a paranormal investigator since late 1996, 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 four books on operating a ghost investigation group as well as new methodology behind client-based cases), I 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 Investigator's Manual and I have worked with Canadian based Sasquatch Research Initiative (now defunct) as the Ohio representative and have been the Ohio representative for the Crypto Squad U.S.A., the U.S. Office of the Centre for Fortean Zoology based in the UK and am an active member of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society among many other things over the years.

Updates: As the transition to the weekly FATE Radio broadcast begins I have moved away from having separate pages for the individual types of news stories (ghosts/paranormal, UFO, Cryptid) and am now merely updating the events page. I may have a news story on the front page on occasion, but my time has been very limited (and will continue to be so with a weekly show to produce) so I am moving away from updating stories on individual pages (for the time being). I decided to run the ParaNexus Anomalous News feed on the front page. I have also toyed with other ideas, but want to keep things simple for the time being.

I also deleted the forum as I found that visitors had very little interest in it and I spent more time deleting spam than engaging in conversation. It's one less thing I have to worry about and will give me a little more time to spend on the podcast as well as on the many other things I am involved in with the paranormal. When time permits I am thinking of adding the Paranormal News Insider reports as an archive for listeners.

July 2011: The page for the archives is up and contains every episode ever created! FATE Radio was bought out by Shark Radio Network during the first week of August 2011, but the show will still continue as planned as no other changes have been announced.

In March, 2013, I have made the archives site centered since there was compatibility issues with Chrome and other browsers.
