ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I have to begin with thanking my mother and father, for indulging my stories about the “people in the basement.” I’m glad they are still there to keep watch over you in my absence. I will forever be indebted to Chris and Nancy Peterson, whose knowledge and patience molded me in my paranormal infancy. Thank you, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, for your constant support and unwavering belief in me. You are everything I aspire to be as a writer. I appreciate my editor John Kachuba and those at Clerisy Press for answering my never-ending list of questions. To everyone who contributed photographs and information for this book, you have my sincerest thanks. Thanks to RED, whose music kept me motivated and inspired. Last but not least, my deepest gratitude goes to my wonderful team of investigators with The Paranormal Source, Inc.—Jerry Bowers, “They See Me” John Melchior, Buffy Clary, Victoria Dupree, James and Mary Hampton, Adam Norton and Gabriela Kelley-Norton, and Sheri Smith. You are all what makes working in this field an amazing adventure.
