    Update: Sadly, Art Bell passed on April 13, 2018 at age 72.

    Well this is great news!  After a hiatus of several years, Art Bell has found a home with SiriusXM.  We’re all looking forward to hearing the old Coast to Coast host again.  It’s a familiar place for us Paranormal enthusiasts.  Welcome back Mr. Bell, and I can’t wait to hear the first show.

  • Election 2012

    The election is only a day away, so it seems fitting that we explore what’s haunting the President.  Could it be the ghost of Ambassador Chris Stevens?  How about the ghosts of the Navy Seals we left behind in Benghazi?  Probably neither, but with the history surrounding the White House, there’s bound to be several spirits roaming the halls….haunting whichever party occupies the White House.

    Ghostvillage.com’s Jeff Belanger explains:

    Belanger strongly believes there is a clear distinction between the British Redcoat and Lincoln who linger about on the president’s turf. The redcoat is thought to be a residual haunting, meaning he is just a memory and nothing more. Residual hauntings are simply a playback of a past event.

    Whereas Lincoln is more of an intelligent haunting, which means he has the ability to interact with people. Honest Abe may be able to help guide a president in power, especially if they summon him on a subconscious level.

    Check out the resat at The Voice of Russia.  I know, weird, huh?

  • Sandy destroys irreplaceable pieces of history

    While driving by St. Mary’s Cemetery today, I noticed a huge tree down.  When I inspected closer, I could see it landed smack in the middle of plot dating back to the early 1800s.  The stones underneath were covered, and I can only assume they were destroyed.  I look around the cemetery and saw that many trees had tried to occupy the same space as the stones.  Luckily, the 16-1700s section was unharmed.  However, the 1800s stones, some undoubtedly from Civil War Veterans, are irreplaceable.  Many historians and preservation organizations will have their work cut out for them in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

     

    A massive tree lay on top of a plot from the early 1800s.
  • Happy Belated Halloween

    I’ve been wanting to get this up sooner, but with the Sandy aftermath, it’s been quite busy.  So, in place of a Halloween post, this post is brought to you by bodies in the green.  Turns out, a tree fell on New Haven green and exposed a 200 year old skeleton.  It seems the green was formerly a burial ground for small pox victims.  Who knows what’s still there?

  • Sandy Update

    Well, we’ve lost power. The good news is, so far this storm seems to be a dud here in Connecticut. Turns out, ‘Frankenstorm’ is Franken-crap.

  • Website Hope and Change

    Welcome to the new Ghosthound.com.  We’ve redesigned the website to make it easier to update and share information with our visitors.  The previous website was a major step forward, but after several years, it was time to move into the next phase of Ghosthound.com.  Look around, you’ll find that much has remained the same, but with a new and quicker ability for us to add updates. Enjoy!

  • Haunted location torn down

    It’s a sad day folks! One of our favorite, most active of the past 15 years has been torn down. I think we always knew it would happen sooner or later, but we always kept hoping for later.

    Here’s a photo for the memories:

  • New Jersey Couple leave apartment citing Haunting

    This should be an interesting case:

    via The Week:

    Most ghost stories don’t wind up in court. But a family in Toms River, N.J., has filed a lawsuit demanding that their landlord let them out of their new lease and return their security deposit, because, they say, the house he rented them was “haunted.”

    Interesting, NJ Paranormal Investigators say they have evidence of a haunting. I checked their website and couldn’t find anything about the house. The landlord thinks it’s a scheme to get out of the lease. I suppose we’ll find out in court, and hopefully, we’ll see some evidence.
