FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bonnie Vent of the San Diego Paranormal Research Project and the World’s Leading Paranormal Investigators Unite to Produce Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales From Around the World Bonnie Vent contributes her paranormal investigation expertise on haunted hot spots to the first book written by dozens of paranormal investigators from around the globe. San Diego, CA, September 29, 2005 – There are haunted homes, restaurants, battlefields, cemeteries, inns, castles, and ghost towns in every corner of the globe. Though spirits and specters are often the fodder for frightening local legends, there are people who actually go looking for ghosts – they’re the paranormal investigators. The Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales From Around the World is the first book to be written by scores of these investigators. The Encyclopedia includes ghost hunters’ investigation notes from some of the world’s most notable haunts and more obscure locales that only regional investigators would know about. Bonnie Vent contributed investigation findings of The Whaley House to the endeavor. “Bonnie Vent is committed to exploring paranormal phenomena,” said Jeff Belanger, founder of Ghostvillage.com and editor and compiler for the Encyclopedia of Haunted Places. “Her contributions to this project were integral in making this book the successful venture that it was. Paranormal investigators from around the world came together to write about the haunted locations they know best.” “Paranormal Investigation” is one of the fastest growing fields of study in the world today. Families are taking haunted and historic ghost tours in cities around the world, and individuals who are interested in the paranormal are coming together to investigate reported ghostly activity using both scientific and esoteric means. People are talking about ghosts and many want to learn more and see the phenomenon for themselves. To look for ghosts and spirits is to touch history. It’s a quest for tangible evidence of life after death.
