  I enjoyed your interview with Mary Roach (Stiff and Spook) and thought you might be interested in knowing about my new book, Ghosthunters: On the Trail of Mediums, Dowsers, Spirit Seekers and Other Investigators of America's Paranormal World. In short, Ghosthunters picks up where Spook leaves off. I've enclosed a press release (below). Id' be happy to do an interview with you if you are interested. Thanks for your consideration.

  New Ghost Book by John Kachuba

  Why do ghosts fascinate so many people? To answer that question, writer and paranormal researcher John Kachuba (aka The Ghosthunter) has investigated nearly 100 haunted locations throughout the country.

  Kachuba’s new book, Ghosthunters: On the Trail of Mediums, Dowsers, Spirit Seekers and Other Investigators of America’s Paranormal World (New Page Books, 2007), combines his case reports of actual hauntings, discussions with leading figures in the paranormal world, and stories about related subjects--buying ghosts on eBay, buying and selling haunted houses, ghost tourism—to present an intriguing and witty look at this interesting phenomena in American pop culture.

  Set off down the trail of the paranormal and read about:

  · A ghost hunt in a Connecticut coffee shop with lay religious demonologist David Considine

  · The woman who sold a bag of poltergeists on eBay

  · The War of 1812 ghosts at Ohio’s Fort Meigs and other battlefield ghosts

  · Psychic Mary Ann Winkowski’s life as the real Ghost Whisperer

  · The Friday the Thirteenth séance at an abandoned Midwest farmhouse with ghosthunter Sherri Brake-Recco and psychic Laura Wisler

  · Spending the night with the ghost of Miss Lily at St. Augustine, Florida’s historic St. Francis Inn.

  Kachuba is a first-rate storyteller who provides chilling accounts of his adventures to please any reader looking for a good scare. He's a frequent speaker at libraries, conferences, and on radio and TV. He is the author of Ghosthunting Ohio, Ghosthunting Illinois, and other books; he also teaches Creative Writing at Ohio University.
