We are proud to announce that our very first publication, 
"Our Gettysburg Experience" is now in stores! Inside you'll read about the experiences of PIRA members while out on and around the battlefields...including in one of the hotels!

We'll take you from the Rose Farm to the Jennie Wade House, through the boulders of Devil's Den to our "Secret" spot just off the Wheatfield. You'll read about a late Night Visitor in our hotel, then travel the back alleys to hear about a Missed Opportunity!

This book will be slightly different from the other ghost books on the shelves. These are our own personal experiences in Gettysburg; experienced by us, documented by us, and all photographs taken by us. You won't see photographs of trees and bushes with the caption "See the Confederate Soldier". No, if it's in this book as evidence, then it has been put through every test and has been picked apart.

 This is the first book in our Ghost Stories series, which highlights the experiences of the authors in order to give you first-hand accounts, rather then third party stories.

A Guide To Paranormal Investigation

You have a camera. You've got your digital voice recorder. You're on your way to a site you heard was haunted. You're a ghost hunter, right? Well, that's a very basic idea of one. In fact, the description above is just the beginning of your journey, should you choose to continue to pursue the field of paranormal research and investigation. 

A Guide To Paranormal Investigation can help you on your way. Contained within these pages is information to help you every step of the way; from background information every ghost hunter should be aware of...to the inclusion of specific documentation forms we've used over the years. We go over Equipment, Contacting Clients, Preliminary and Formal Investigations, Research Sessions and even Safety Concerns. 

We've basically taken every step we take from the formation of PIRA, until the end of an investigation....and put them into this book to share with you. We invite you to read, learn and then share your ideas with us. 

This is the first book in our Investigation Series, designed to promote improved investigation techniques and evidence analysis.

It's a simple question. The answer depends on who you talk to. Some believe they are indeed Orbs, pure energy representations of what used to be a living person. Those on this side of the coin offer detailed diagrams exploring the visible layers of the Orbs, color-coded charts to explain the emotion Orbs are displaying when photographed...and even insight into the "psychology" of Orbs. 

I'm more on the flip side of that coin. I've done my homework and have found many natural causes that can create the same image of an Orb. So, yes...I usually lean towards the answer of Dust.

Come with me as we take a look at False-Positives; evidence that appears to be paranormal, but actually has a natural explanation. We will take a look not only at Orbs, but through the many other forms in which ghosts have been "captured". You will learn about mistakes, tricks of light and a camera feature that has been wreaking havoc in the ghost hunting community. We will also look at a few ways "Investigators" deliberately produce images, including step-by-step instructions on how they "capture" a shadow man with the help of Photoshop. I've even included a few experiments you can do to verify many of these results yourself.

"I have to say, I liked it a lot. It was refreshingly skeptical and shows a level of scientific methodology and critical thinking rare in ghost hunter circles. It should be required reading for anyone interested in ghosts; both novice and veteran ghost hunters will save themselves a lot of time chasing wild geese if they read and understand what you 
have to say."
Benjamin Radford, Managing Editor of Skeptical Inquirer

"Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I just finished your book, Orbs Or Dust?. I am the Larry you refer to in your Introduction. I liked your book a lot and think it should be required reading for all paranormal investigators." 
Larry Phelps, Ghosts of Gettysburg Tours

"I've already learned a great deal from your books, so let me thank you and the rest of your team for all the hard work put into compiling the information and making it available to the rest of us."
Ruth Caldwell, California Haunts ( http://www.californiahaunts.org/ )

"After reading your "Orbs or Dust" book, I admit I'm much more skeptical about any photographic anomalies, and certainly won't be including any in my own book as "evidence." I'll stick to those of artistic or historic value, simply to illustrate the stories. That way I won't inadvertently sacrifice my credibility as a writer or historian by photo anomalies that can be easily explained. If it saves me any embarrassment later on, I'll have your book to thank for that."
Don Carter, N.E.P.V.R.G. Historian/Case Researcher

The Other Side: Giving Up the Ghost
Directed by Andrew Keyser 
Written/Edited by Tonya Keyser,

An exploration of the culture associated with ghost stories and paranormal investigation

The film begins in Gettysburg, PA, home of 14 thriving ghost tour companies, showcasing a storyteller and 3 ghost tours. The town and battlefield are popular destinations for the multitudes who find themselves fascinated by ghosts and ghost stories. Each year, thousands of individuals and groups, ranging from the casual amateur to the serious scientist, find their way to this place, forever hallowed by the men who fought and died there in 1863. 
This film examines what drives our interest in the paranormal and how the media and popular culture influence and capitalize upon this interest. Skeptics, a philosopher, a sociologist, an anthropologist, and paranormal investigators take us on a journey through the unknown to demystify that which has typically been sensationalized by the media. 
You may be left questioning that which you always believed to be true...
