Where did the months go?
Okay, that’s a rhetorical question. We’ve been on the road, in more states than I have time to count at the moment. At least a dozen. Lots of places visited. Lots of research. And so many hotels and Airbnbs… some far better than others.
In fact, I’m writing this in an Airbnb in Maine. (Just a couple of weeks ago, we were in Florida. And then we were in Virginia. The past year has been like that, filled with travel and research… and then more travel.)
Here’s what we’re working on…
Field Research
First, I’m still knee-deep (sometimes literally) in field research, especially looking for potentially-haunted places that might be worth investigating.
At the moment, if you know any eerie sites along coastal Maine that I should visit and film while we’re here, let me know: haunted sites, hotels, cemeteries, historic sites… anything that we should explore.
Our recent drive along western Maine’s Route 117 was astonishing. I’m still processing the footage from some wonderful old cemeteries we explored. Though we need to go back to investigate some of them, I’m certain that a few (or more) are haunted.
Videos
Right now, we’re focusing on YouTube, as it seems to be a good way to reach new ghost hunters. Frankly, I’ve winced at the few Sam & Colby videos I’ve seen, but I’m also certain their “good scare” approach will attract more people to serious ghost research.
I want to make sure we meet their needs.
So, my ghost-related YouTube channel is now How To Find Ghosts. (The URL is still youtube.com/@FionaBroome )
Note: The Mandela Effect videos moved to MandelaEffectDotCom, at YouTube, (youtube.com/@mandelaeffectdotcom). For now, I’m not adding much there. That topic took on a life of its own, long ago, and I don’t know that I have anything to add.
Site Updates
We’re also – finally – updating the Ghosts 101 website. It’s not as bad as we’d expected, but it does need work.
My original ghost-related website, HollowHill.com, is also going through some major changes.
That’s a far bigger project.
That’s not just because some of my Hollow Hill articles are dozens of years old (I’m not kidding), but also, many need updates and videos.
And many articles need complete rewrites that include more details. Lots more details.
My long-term friends and followers may recall that “Hollow Hill” referenced Irish legends about the Tuatha Dé Danann and faerie lore of that country. At the time, I added a few ghost-related articles, thinking they might interest the same readers. Instead, I found myself writing more & more about ghosts, since that’s what people asked for.
So, that’s why we’re rebranding that ghost hunting site – but just with a redirect – as HowToFindGhosts.com.
New Books and Updates
In addition, we’re resuming work on my books. Those that simply need updates are the highest priority.
Later, as time permits, other manuscripts – started but never finished – will be revisited.
So, these next few months will be busy. I’ll be online as much as possible, but – since we’re still in hotels, etc. – my top priority is field research and filming.
That means you’ll see more videos at YouTube. Lots more, to reach a new audience that wants to try ghost hunting. (It’s difficult to believe that it’s been 20 years since the “Ghost Hunters” TV series launched and sparked its own wave of new investigators.)
But, you’ll also notice changes – some dramatic – at my ghost hunting websites, HowToFindGhosts.com (aka HollowHill.com) and Ghosts101.com.
I’ll update this site – and my Facebook Page ( https://www.facebook.com/FionaBroomeNews/ ) – as we complete big projects. And, in general, I’ll try to be online every few days, at least to answer questions and comments.
Thanks for your interest, as well as your patience, as we restructure much of what we’ve been doing, especially related to ghost research.
