 Part I
You first gained international attention as the "ghost hunter" for a series of books on your investigations of ghosts and hauntings.
Yes, my first book was the start to my investigations as an academic parasychologist.
Can you give us your definition of what a ghost or haunting is?
Human beings die and when one sees a ghost, it is also seeing a spirit, which is where the confusion lies. When we are born, we are born with a double body-etheric body. People see an inner body with a likeness to what that person looked like in life. It is hard to tell the difference sometimes, but this is a ghost. A spirit is the inner body that shows in the from called a ghost that is not satisfied and can't pass on. Thus, a haunting is this ghost in a place where it can't leave.
Could you explain what was the "Amityville Horror"?
I was invited there twice and was one of the first on the scene. The first book was written by another man whose editor actually wrote it. They wanted it more of a book about horror whereas my books were about the case and investigations leading up to and after the murders. This was not a horror case to me. I looked at it differently and went on to write many books on this topic thereafter.
Of all of your investigations concerning ghosts and hauntings, which cases stand us in your mind, which did you find to be the most interesting?
They are all equally to the same to me. People write or call me because they are scared or a place needs my help. Then, I would go and bring a well-trained transmedium and investigate.
Your investigations always involved the use of mediums. Could you tell us why?
Yes. The above question is why. A scientific investigation must have a well-trained transmedium for communication. It is the only way.
What is your opinion on today's "ghost busters" with their websites, radio and television shows that feature: electronic voice phenomena, thermometers, voltage meters and so on?
Look, today's Ghost Busters with their equipment for me is all nonsense. You don't need any of this. To me, it is an amateur's way. I did it and succeeded just the same. It may not have been as exciting as today's' reality shows are broadcasting, but, I am the real deal and this is where I differ form all those out there currently and why I am the one who brought out more investigators interested in the subject itself.
You are the author of over 100 books and I understand you have just published a new book - The Spirit Connection. Could you tell us what the book is about?
Yes. The Spirit Connection shows cases where people come to me about receiving help from the other side. Sometimes it is a relative or friend. The intervention by these people was best said by the late Eileen Garrett, "death is life's other door." A good friend of mine, author, Bishop Jim Pike and I were taking a walk one day out in California. On this walk, we discussed of his late son's recent communication with his father. Jim didn't know what to call his book about his story and so I came up with the name, 'The Other Side of Life.' From then on, many titles would become the other side this, the other side that and so on.
