Sleepy Hollow, NY chapter pictures

Rob Feinberg is a member of the group, New Jersey Paranormal Research.

Some years back, before he and his wife (at the time, his girlfriend) were married, they decided to head out to Sleepy Hollow on a whim. Rob enjoyed his visit so much that he knew that one day, he would have to go back. Later, he joined the group, New Jersey Paranormal Research. When the opportunity arose to investigate the Old Dutch Burial Ground in Sleepy Hollow, he jumped at it. They got very interesting EVPs during the investigation, as well as an interesting photo.

Atchison, KS chapter picture

One of THE most haunted houses in Atchison, Kansas, if not one of the most popular, is the Sallie House. The Kansas Paranormal Group has done many investigations at the Sallie House. They have physical evidence of this location being a haunted house. Members have also been physically attacked by a violent entity.

During one particular investigation, team member, Danny, was searching for his car keys inside the Sallie House. He happened to find a coin -- a British penny dated 1862!

Galena, IL chapter pictures

An investigation was conducted in the home of Kathy Gereau, a resident of Galena who is a sensitive and has experienced paranormal activity in her home. The consensus is that it is indeed a haunted house. At one point during the investigation, they learned there is a spirit named William attached to a picture of a Civil War soldier that hangs in the home. Kathy explains in the book that "it is a photograph of a man dressed in a Civil War uniform of some important rank. I also have his bayonet in its leather case.  I was told that the gentleman [William] had lived in the house where I bought it."


William's spirit has also been reported to visit the house where the picture was bought from.



During an investigation at Casper Bluff, a geological tourist attraction popular to birdwatchers in Galena, Kathy Gereau and her team caught some very interesting pictures.

Says Kathy, "When I heard about this place in Illinois that was newly opened to the public, I couldn’t wait to take MVP," she explains. "Our group went out just before sunset, taking rattles, drums and cameras along with lawn chairs and blankets."


The drums were an essential part of the investigation, especially given that the site was known to be inhabited by Native American spirits. "We have learned when trying to connect with native energy, a drumming circle seems to work well.  If there are any native spirits at the site, they are usually curious enough to come close, as if to see what we are up to. Drums were used in shamanic work to connect with spirit in many Native American cultures and it is part of the spiritual and healing work we do.  Some of our group are Reiki practitioners and use the drums to help move energy through a person as well as breaking up energy blockages.  This really does not have anything to do with our investigations usually, but we like to use the drums when we are outside. The beat of a drum helps the brain produce the kind of brain wave pattern that is that same as a deep meditative state so it helps sensitives get into a place where they are receptive to spirit. Any kind of drum will work, but we use a handheld drum and a beater."



The following are the pictures, in sequence, that seemed to have attracted a spiritual entity during their drumming ceremony. (Photo credit: Kathy Gereau.)

Hollywood, CA chapter pictures



While paranormal investigator Richard Senate and his wife, Debbie, were investigating the Mary Astor Mansion, one of the tall French windows, which had been locked, flew open then closed themselves again and locked itself! This is a picture of those windows.


While investigating in the mausoleum at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, paranormal investigator Marissa Sims walked through what felt like "spider webs." She recalled hearing that this was what it felt like when a spirit is touching you. There was also a strong perfume scent around her. She looked down at the grave she had just walked past, noticing it wasthe grave of Marie Smoot, who died in 1977. Was it possible Marie was trying to make contact with Marissa?

Paranormal investigator Mike Loop has visited the Queen Mary several times. Here is his first "ghost photo" he captured on board the ship, in which he describes it as a "black shadow figure and white energy rod, and a woman in a dress coming down the pool stairs."

Mike Loop has communicated with several spirits on board the Queen Mary. He seems to have connected with the spirit of a young girl who tragically drowned in the ship's swimming pool. He has picked up the sound of her voice saying that she wants her daddy. Here is a picture he captured of what appears to be the little girl ghost near the pool.


Here is another picture of an apparition Mike Loop saw while investigating the Queen Mary.




The group Golden State Paranormal has also investigated the Queen Mary. In one area of the ship, investigator Jen Mauricio captured a picture of what appears to be a ghostly figure standing in the doorway. There was no one standing in the doorway at the time this photo was taken.
