Hello!
The show looks great, I would love to be able to watch! I’m a Bostonian and a long-time paranormal enthusiast who now lives in Ohio, so, I was wondering if the show will be aired nationwide on PBS or just locally (New England)? Or perhaps the show could be posted here on your website, that would be great! Thanks and good luck! 🙂
I can’t wait to see the show, Jeff! Wishing you the very best of luck with it. By any chance are you planning one of these for the Borden Home? It was great meeting you there!

Happy Haunting!!
I really enjoy Jeff’s observations on those in spirit. He really brings a sensitivity to his investigations that shows respect to those he’s trying to contact. I love these newsletters as well.
I own this set in my library and I am surprised how often I watch them. They are well researched and professionally produced. It captures the concept of legend tripping perfectly. I can’t recommend them enough. ENJOY!
