Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank the manypeople who contributed their writing and photography
to this book. Though there are too many to list here, you’ll see their bylines
in each contribution. These paranormal investigators are always searching for
answers to the unexplained, and I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to
work with so many of them to present some of their findings. This book simply
would not exist without the hardwork of all of the contributors from around the
globe.
My wife, Megan, has my unending gratitude. She not only kept me sane through
this project, she was always ready to lend her sharp editorial eye to help bring out
the best in each submission.
A big thank you to Michael Pye at New Page Books, who played a significant
role in making this book happen. I’d also like to thank Kate Henches andStacey
Farkas for their editing and design skills in bringing a ton of content together to
form this book. All of the folks at New Page Books have really been behind those
who work in this field of research. I’m grateful to everyone there for bringing this
project to life.
