About this episode

Jeff Belanger discusses his revised book on the world's most haunted places and shares insights from his two decades of ghost investigations.

Jeff Belanger returns to The Paranormal Podcast to talk about the newly revised and updated edition of his classic book, The World’s Most Haunted Places. Jeff shares how more than two decades of investigating hauntings have changed the way he thinks about ghosts, from something he once believed he could define fairly neatly to a mystery that now seems far more complicated. We explore what makes a place truly haunted, the difference between residual and interactive hauntings, and why locations marked by tragedy and history seem to generate stories that endure for generations. We also visit some remarkable haunted locations around the world, including the White House and its enduring Abraham Lincoln stories, Alaska’s historic Alaskan Hotel, Big Nose Kate’s Saloon in Tombstone, the Tower of London, and more. Jeff also discusses how different cultures view ghosts and haunted places, and why the stories themselves may matter even when we cannot explain what is actually happening. Plus, stay through the end of the episode for a special bonus audiobook chapter from The World’s Most Haunted Places, read by Jeff himself. You can find this all-new, revised edition at Amazon here…
