Amy Bruni of TAPS - Ghost Hunters TV Show agreed to be the subject of a Guest Draw this week.
Aside from Vera’s Magenta Hair, Amy is the only one I’ve used REAL RED for hair… CYMK red: 100Y, 100M… for all your graphic and printing aficionados. Alas, not all of us can pull off the red head thing. As far as I’m concerned, I’m better off brown. 
Amy adds a nice flavor and sensitivity to the Ghost Hunters crew. Hopefully, I’ve captured some of that here amongst the amusement.
Enjoy,

See ya tonite! …or hear ya tonite!

It’s a fun contrast to do a reversal on the paranormal education thing. Why not have ghosts getting together to learn new techniques on communicating… or terrorizing the living?
All this week and into next I will be exploring that contrast with Merv’s School of Ghost Hunting and Hans Holzer’s School of Haunting.
Now that I’ve finally watched Ghost Hunters Academy, I’ll likely be inspired for a few more…
Enjoy the contrast. That’s what it’s all about!

I pulled this statement out of the comments section as I feel it is relevant. If you’re interested in the entire discussion, review the comments from the Blog Post: TAPS Gets Cold Shoulder
There are a lot of rumors circulating concerning the Ghost Hunters show. I am still hard pressed to think that TAPS would fabricate evidence. The pressures of national TV might push them to this limit… But, I pray that is not the case.
It’s tough to review this sort of evidence. Different people see different things… the mind will see what it wants to and often does.
At any rate. I would expect that any accusation must withstand the same rigid scrutiny we paranormalers afford our evidence.

[Paranormalers? I’ve never heard that term before. Did you coin it? Regardless, I love it and hope it becomes part of the vernacular. Not everyone can make up a new word that sticks. I LOVE it!
And, good comment. I’m gonna copy and paste it below so I can read it twice!

Yes, I coined the term paranormalers… I’ve coined a lot of terms in my time. If there’s not a word for it, I’ll make it up. Just like life, make it up as you go along!
Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts!

BTW: How come paranormalers and commenteer comes up “wrong” on spell check?! Go figure…
I am continuing with this series, into next week. It’s a fun topic. However, tomorrow, Ouija Nite will interrupt it. And Sunday, Amy Bruni from Ghost Hunters will intervene as a Guest Draw! She gave the approval to run the comic this week, so it’s a go.
Also Don’t miss the November issue of Paranormal Underground Magazine: http://www.paranormalunderground.net/ - Yes, Entities-R-Us, Ghost Hunter Comic Appears here each month!
Also, I want to mention the latest issue of the BSPHI Newsletter. This month’s topic is Alien Abduction. Entities-R-Us, Ghost Hunter Comic also appears here! community.icontact.com/p/bsphinews
Stay tuned for more ‘toons!

This week’s comedic ghost hunting adventure did not start out to be a spoof on Ghost Hunters Academy… It just fell in line with the programing.
I did start out as an inspired train of thought instigated by a fellow investigator, Rusty. He suggested Hans Holzer and some other deceased paranormalers investigating from the other side. I had done something similar in tribute of Holzer. However, I decided to resurrect the idea with Holzer teaching ghosts how to do a proper haunting. This immediately paralleled Merv teaching ghost hunting. Which immediately paralleled the Ghost Hunter Academy which is currently running on SyFy network. THERE ARE NOT COINCIDENCES… However, I was not aware of being coincidental until I had a minor discussion with Pilgrim Films on Twitter… Like I always say, this stuff never comes from me but through me and the folks upstairs have a lot more on the ball than I could ever have.
I’m probably going to play with this idea for more than a week. So, look forward to quite a few ‘instructive’ comics that alternate between Ghost Hunting School and Haunting School. These will be duly interrupted by Ouija Nite on Thursday. And SUNDAY IS A GUEST DRAW WITH GHOST HUNTER & TAPS MEMBER AMY BRUNI!
So enjoy! Learn a little, even if it’s what NOT to do.

There is a HUGE argument concerning remuneration for paranormal investigations. It’s quite cyclical and keeps revolving to the forefront periodically. Since I just laid the following comment on a blog-site, I felt it relevant to post it here as well. The topic was “Personal Gain.”
“No matter what you do, you gain something from it. Whether you judge that as wrong or not is up to you.
Personally, I can’t conceive of charging anyone to come in and sort out their ghosts. I do it for the benefit of the living and the spirits involved. And with that, I get something out of it every time.”
Since most of us do these services for free, it’s nice to be compensated. That’s why many groups do fundraisers or paranormal events to offset equipment costs, etc. It’s definitely a labor of love.
I’ve been an artist all my life and I understand that concept. If I had to eat via sales of my fine art pieces, I would have eaten once and starved for 2 years before I could eat again. So, don’t quit you day job.
Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts for the joy of it!

Since my days are spent de-boxing my possessions and organizing a lifetime’s worth of crap, this blog has been a tad sporadic. Again, I apologize. However, it’s imperative I find my mouse pad… etc… not to mention my printer cables.
Any haunting that is happening on my end is purely contained in cardboard, and therefore, card-bored.
Fear not, one of these days I’ll get creative in the literary dept again. The main thing is I’m keepin’ up with the cartoons.
Enjoy them!

It’s the episode you were all waiting for, the controversial investigation at the Amos Blake House in Fitzwilliam, NH. As some of you have heard, the town was in an uproar at having TAPS in their midst checking out ghosts at their local museum.
It appears it was sorted out as the episode was allowed to run.
Rule of thumb: If you don’t want your town to be known for its ghosts, don’t make a big stink about TAPS showing up. If you do, the newspapers will be sure to broadcast it and my mother will send me the article and I’ll put it on my blog and THOUSANDS MORE will see it than would be normally.
What you resist persists. Classic demonstration!
For more information search my blog (search Blake House or TAPS Cold Shoulder) for the original post and check out the comments for inside information! (Comments can be found at the bottom of this page - it’s an innocuous button that says ‘comments’) To review the comic response search ‘effigy burning’.
