Hi all! Just wanted to post an update about my activity (or lack thereof) this last while. There's been a lot going on with me lately, both of a paranormal and non-paranormal nature. I got married! (That's not paranormal. No ghost marriages for me, thanks.) As to the other, spookier stuff, I had a draft all written up and ready to go. I submitted it to my editors and after listening to their feedback, instead of doing one big post, I'm going to break it down into several more comprehensive posts. With subjects ranging from The Fae to synchronicities, from my experiences in Salem MA to an enchanted garden in Delaware, I hope you'll get a kick out of it all! Keep an eye out!
Stay safe and healthy until then! Cheers!

I was invited to guest on the youtube channel The Infatuation to see whether or not a haunted object buried with some peppers could make them haunted. It was a funny, silly afternoon, but I did my best to keep a straight face and perform the duties asked of me. Check it out!

Hello all! Sorry it's been an even longer time since my last update. 2020, am I right? What a year... I hope everyone has been staying safe and healthy, and that you all continue to do so.
In spite of the pandemic, there are still places to be investigated, and a few members of the team and I will be going to check out Pennhurst Asylum in Pennsylvania on August 8th-9th for an over-night investigation! We're very excited! Social distancing measures will be taken, of course, but that doesn't mean we'll be isolated from whatever else may be there.
Pennhurst Asylum is alleged to have a lot of activity of multiple kinds, such as ghosts, demons and elementals. We're really looking forward to seeing what, if anything, we can snoop out. Hopefully it's not like our experience (or lack thereof) with the Hinsdale House.
For an idea of what this place may have to offer, check out The Paranormal Files' video on it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9uM-dfhKcQ
We'll report back with pics, videos and personal experiences once all of the evidence has been sorted and filed.
This will be the first of many planned new adventures into the spooky and weird for the year, so stay tuned here for more info!

Hello all! Sorry it's been so long since my last update. I've had my girlfriend move into my place, gone through restaurant management school and gotten engaged in the last six months, so I haven't had much time to update the blog. However, now that I'm done with school and everything is more or less settled on the home front, it's time to start posting again! Stay tuned here for more evidence, more theories and more videos!

Hello all! I hope your holidays were as full as joy, fun and love (and good food) as mine were!
I've been working on the new blog posts recently, doing research and getting my thoughts together, and will have the new one up within the next two weeks. These essays are different beasts altogether from my previous blog posts, as those were just me retelling stories from my life. I'm looking forward to getting going on these new ones though. I'm really hoping to engage with you all a lot, as most of the topics that I'll be writing about are more abstract in nature, and I'd love as much feedback as you all can provide.
That being said, I hope everyone's 2019 is amazing! I'll be starting a restaurant management program in April, about which I am both excited and a bit nervous. Fingers crossed!
Until next time, folks! <3

Happy Halloween, all! As my favorite time of year was approaching, I, in turn, got approached by several sources to go on their vlogs and podcasts. Here's the link to Joanna and Kevin's Big Show, and a link to Ania Fedisz's vlog will be up in the next day or so.
The essays on myriad other paranormal topics are inbound soon!
Also, I just added an External Media section, in case anyone wants to hear and/or see me wax poetic about the paranormal.

Hey there all. I hope you've all been enjoying your summers! I have been, which is why I haven't put up much on the page here lately. That's all about to change, though, since my favorite season is fast approaching, beloved Autumn. Check back soon for more essays, and a couple of interesting events, like investigating the Hinsdale House in upstate NY!

Hi all! I'll be starting a new series on paranormal theories within the next few weeks. My first topic will be about... wait for it... faeries! Specifically whether it's at all possible for them to be real, and if paranormal investigators find signs of them all the time without realizing it. Stay tuned!

The team and I have been investigating a residence in Astoria, Queens. Interesting things have happened during both the initial investigation two weeks ago and the follow-up investigation this past Saturday. Evidence review for the latter investigation has begun, and I'm quite interested to see what, if anything showed up. I'll keep you all posted. Check the evidence section for whatever we may find, starting with some pics.

Edit: Turns out that I need to do a complete re-write of the final entry in this blog series. It's important that I get the tone and language right, since as the title will imply, it's the culmination of a series of events that stretches for more than seventeen years. It should be ready by next Wednesday. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

This week's blog is going to be delayed until next week. I have some personal issues to deal with, so I need some time to sort them out. I'll post it by next Wednesday, promise!

Hello all. Just posting a little update about the blog. Since I've started posting stories about my personal experiences since childhood, thousands of people have taken the time to peruse them. I can't thank you all enough! I have plenty more experiences to convey, so keep your eyes pealed for more!
I'd also like to take the time to thank two people, without whom this blog either wouldn't exist at all, or would be far less enjoyable - my great friend Neal, who performs the duties of editor, and my wonderful girlfriend Darya, who takes care of content flow and readability. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

Happy Halloween, all! I'll be uploading the results of my investigation of the Van Alen Mansion, home of the Kosciusko Foundation, by the end of the week. In the meantime, check out this article in which I was cited by Reader's Digest!

I've been doing some graveyard crawls with my pal Dani, and it's yielded some interesting results, such as great pics, adventures in leaf-crunching and one pretty solid EVP. Check it out in the evidence section!

Hello all. Well, summer is coming to a close and the season of pumpkin spice everything is closing in, and along with it, my favorite holiday, Halloween. I'm going to put together a few excursions to random awesome, spooky places over the next few months, and whoever would like to join me, feel free to send me a message or text!
The first trip will be to the linked location, of which my friend Meghan has made me aware. Check out the article, and post if you'd like to go. I was thinking Saturday, September 16th. It's located on the south shore of Brooklyn, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find.

After doing a preliminary investigation at the beautiful Kosciuszko Foundation last week, we have found enough evidence to support a new paranormal tour of the premises! The evidence page will be updated very soon with the results of that investigation for everyone to check out, as usual. Post your comments on the related YouTube pages or start a thread below, and if you like what I do here, subscribe and throw the pages a like!

Hi all! I just met up with Corey from New York Adventure Club yesterday, and came away from that meeting with some awesome new ideas for events, such as a walking guide through a (potentially) haunted mansion in the UES, and a paranormal-themed murder mystery dinner! Keep an eye out for official announcements!

Hi all. The season of light and life is upon us, so investigations will be few and far-between until the dying season comes again in late August/early September. DM Paranormal's activities will be limited to once-a-month talks in association with New York Adventure Club until then. Hope to see you then!

Having done all the research that I have on the subject of aliens, I've come to realize that there is WAY more material available than I can put into one lecture, so I'm going to break this one up into two parts; tomorrow will be part one, discussing aliens throughout history and in popular culture, Area 51, the Roswell event, and the abduction phenomenon. Part two will further detail phenomena such as crop circles, Men In Black, alien artifacts, conspiracy theories, and principles such as the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox. I hope to see you all at both!

This has been an amazing year for us so far! The new lecture series at Lovecraft Bar, our regular lectures with New York Adventure Club and a whole slew of new investigation opportunities make this an exciting time to be a part of this ride!
Speaking of which, DM Paranormal is now recruiting! We need serious investigators with relatively flexible schedules to fill out our team! Skeptics preferred! PM me here or email me at [email protected] if you're interested.

The investigation of the Algonquin Hotel was performed last Monday, October 3rd. I've finally reviewed all the evidence, and will upload it all later for everyone to examine.
There were lots of personal experiences, and I believe that I found plenty of audio evidence, though no video evidence was found. I would say that there's something going on there.
