Scott Crownover (of the Ghost Research Foundation) Interview

BS: Scott, what originally got you interested in the paranormal?

SC: I always had a passing interest in the paranormal. Growing up, I had been fascinated with stories of unknown creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Of course, a good ghost story never failed to catch my attention. My current interest in ghosts and hauntings came about as an accident. (Read More)


 May 2008 Founder's Message            

              I’d like to welcome you back to the website for this month’s update. Admittedly, we have started off a little slow with only 12 investigations in the first four months of the year but things are going to pick up rapidly. Since the conference at the beginning of April we have had several viable investigation sites proposed in addition to the ones we already had slated so it’s going to be a busy spring and summer, that’s for sure! For those who attended the conference in Butler, PA. at the beginning of the month I would like to extend my deepest personal thanks – and that is especially true for those who put in so many hours of work and personal sacrifice to make it a success. Also, I would like to thank those who participated in the Vicary Mansion, Harmony Inn and CCBC investigations as well. Speaking of the Harmony Inn investigation, that is where our Pic of the Month comes from. The photo was taken on the second floor toward the rear of the hallway looking toward the front of the Inn. The photo also encompasses a partial view of the main staircase that leads from the first to the second floor which is where the apparition was found (see yellow outline). The investigation took place after the restaurant was closed and only the bar remained open, so there was no interference from patrons or staff members. The apparition in question fits the description of an elderly gentleman that was given to us during dinner by Jeff, one of the managers at the Inn. We are planning a return trip soon to perform a follow up investigation – I will keep you all up to date on these events as soon as the information is made available.

            In other news we have wrapped up another session of classes at the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) and I would like to welcome our new members from that class. I know some of you who were not able to make it during this past session wanted to know when the next session will take place and, from preliminary information, it looks as if we will have another session of classes sometime during the fall semester. As soon as the director of continuing education updates me on available dates, etc. I will post the information.

            The Question of the Month “Why do ghosts only come out at night?” is one that I have heard many times and, believe it or not, is directly linked to our Article of the Month which is entitled “Seeing Red: A New Era in Paranormal Photography.” Seeing Red covers all of the information you will need to know about using Infrared lenses for paranormal photography. As many of you have read over the last few months (and are probably nearly sick of hearing about by now) this article contains all of the most up-to-date information on IR photography that I currently have. In the coming months I will be working – and writing – more on this subject so that you will be able to use IR photography to your fullest advantage. After you read the article however, please, should you decide that IR photography is something you want to try, be a smart consumer and check out ALL of your options before purchase of any equipment. Your best weapon here is information. Find out as much as you can about the products that are out there, prices and so forth. Much of the IR equipment I have purchased has been found brand new on E-Bay for as much as 75% less than what retailers are asking.

            I was able to dig up some new wallpaper for you this month and hopefully we will have some more in the coming months from some of our upcoming investigations…and speaking of investigations – May is Cemetery Month for the IPRF. We will be working with and investigating some of the local cemeteries in the area and, with that, we will also offer services that include local oral tradition and written history, interred persons of significance / interest in specific cemeteries, cemetery folklore, vandalism prevention and cemetery preservation. Finally I would like to thank all members of the IPRF and the IPRF General Council for all of your hard work and participation in making the IPRF a success, and, I would also like to thank you, visitor and friend, for taking time to check out our humble home in cyberspace.

May all of your haunts be happy ones!

Brian
