Just Checking In

noreply@blogger.com (Pat Fitzhugh) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 08:03:00 +0000

This is a really busy time; not only am I gearing up for the busy fall season, but I'm also finishing up "Ghostly Cries From Dixie," which is scheduled for release in October. All of the writing and most of the editing is done, so it won't be long now! One chapter is devoted to the Bell Witch, and the other chapters cover ghost stories from around the Southeastern U.S. If you haven't checked out the Myspace page for "Ghostly Cries From Dixie" yet, check it out! (i.e., add it!)

It dawned on me earlier tonight that every time I have to enter an upcoming event (lecture, signing, interview, etc.), I have to visit a total of about 30 different places and enter about 29 different passwords. It would be nice to enter the information in one place, only once, and then let it propagate to all the other sites, event listings, etc. Dream on. But look, I found the next best thing -- BookTour.Com! Their widgets don't do a whole lot along the lines of propagation, and their RSS setup isn't user friendly just yet, but the site has a lot of potential and I'm expecting many good, nifty things from them in the future.

So, from this point forward, I am going to use BookTour as my master entry page for upcoming events. Do this mean I'm going to stop entering events on Myspace? No way! But it does mean that I might not be able to enter EVERY single event here. If you're interested in learning of events coming to your area, just visit my BookTour page and subscribe to automatic updates via e-mail or RSS feed. YES -- Automatic updates delivered right to your e-mail box!

A situation on the homefront (illness in family) has forced me to cancel an appearance at a paranormal conference later this month (Eastern Regional, on the weekend of July 17th), so I'm pretty bummed out about that. I had been planning to do the conference for over a year now!

There are four, possibly five radio interviews in the works for July and August so far; I'll post something definite once things get ironed out. In addition to the Bell Witch, I'll be discussing many other Southern ghost stories and my upcoming book, "Ghostly Cries From Dixie."

I've also been asked to speak at the first annual "Journey Into the Unknown With S.P.I.R.I.T." paranormal conference in Alabama on November 7th. For more details, including directions, check my BookTour page.

That's all for now. Take care, and talk to you soon!

The Eastern Regional Paranormal Conference

noreply@blogger.com (Pat Fitzhugh) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 20:17:00 +0000

The conference, now in its sixth year, will be held in historic Harper's Ferry West Virginia on the weekend of July 17-19, 2009.

Located in eastern West Virginia and a mere stone's throw from Maryland and Virginia, Harper's Ferry is a town deeply rooted in American history.

It was at Harper's Ferry, in 1859, that noted abolitionist John Brown conducted his infamous "raid" that, along with other events, would ultimately change the course of American history.

This year's conference, which promises to be the best yet, will feature lectures by the leading names in paranormal research, a trade show that will feature vendor booths, workshops for aspiring paranormal investigators and pros alike, historic ghost tours of Harper's Ferry, campfire ghost stories, a symposium for the paranormal community to brainstorm standards and protocols.

The conference promises to be both fun and informative, and the July weather in West Virginia will be "just right." I urge everyone to make plans to attend this conference if you haven't already done so. See you there!

New Page Added to Web Site

noreply@blogger.com (Pat Fitzhugh) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:39:00 +0000

There have always been a lot of e-mails from people who missed Bell
Witch radio discussions, etc., wondering if they were archived so that
people can listen at their convenience.

Unfortunately, most radio interviews are either NOT archived, or you
have to pay a "fee" to listen. I have managed to find a 'few' free
archives of past radio interviews.

I have listed them on a new page, the "Interviews" page, for anyone
who might have missed out on the live episodes. The address of the
new page is:
