Pamela K. Kinney
Tonight's guest for our global listeners, and those in the live
chat room,
we had author and ghost hunter
Pamela K. Kinney
of
Haunted Richmond,
Haunted Richmond II,
Travel Guide to the Haunted Mid-Atlantic Region
and
Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths, and True Tales,
et al.
She spoke about how she got into writing true-ghost books of the Richmond
(Virginia)
area.
She spoke of ancient
Agecroft Hall
and the disembodied voices sometimes heard; also that it's not far from
Virginia House
which also has a perchance for hauntings.
We learned, via Skype Chat, that Henry missed recording the first few minutes of the show.
Henry asked which was the scariest place to which she's been; one place an EVP session they had a male entity all but bullying a female spirit, not letting her speak.
Pamela told a story investigating at one place
(January 2011);
they were doing an EVP session with a newbie investigator, behind which a heavy lamp which began swinging.
Pamela pointed this out and the newbie all but slugged Pamela in fleeing, and a little boy's voice could be heard giggling.
Another time she witnessed a tall Shadow Person
(with a single visible white eye),
walk past her in a cemetery and dissipated.
After the first break, Barbara reported our having listeners in the US, the UK, Costa Rica, Ireland Switzerland;
via Skype chat later in the show, Barbara conveyed Canada and Belgium had added listeners to the mix.
Pamela spoke about the
Royal Park Pump House,
at which she experienced witnessing orbs that clearly were not bugs.
Kat asked about activities and/or haunting/s at
Stories Comics
store, and Pamela explained much of the what went on in the investigation/s.
Henry wanted to know about
St. John's Church,
but so far, Pamela hasn't gotten anything there herself.
Pamela clarified getting an EVP, and she knows of investigators getting their hair touched, etc.
Also discussed was the Wilton House Museum
and its Randolf family.
The movie
Broken Chain
was filmed there, and some cast refused to enter the house due to severe activity.
Each time I tried to make a friendly, light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek comment, it fell flat big time as Pamela seemed to act as though I was being deadly serious...
Being an
Urban Legend Investigator,
Kat asked after about stories she's heard of
Werewolves of Henrico.
Pamela indicated the sightings seem to indicate more like "white dogs," similar to the cinematic version of "werewolf"
as visually depicted
(dreadfully)
in the adapted
Harry Potter movies.
Pamela also went into the urban legend stories of a famous personage being thought to be a vampire.
After the second break, Kat was curious about the distinctions of the
Tombstone House
and the
Poplar Grove National Cemetery.
The most active place to which she's been was
Henricus,
a major
historical park.
Pamela spoke of the
Midlothian mines,
a
haunted coal mine.
Barbara asked if anything has actually scared the otherwise analytical author; Pamela indicate the male ghost in the back of her car, which bullied the female spirit.
It turned out Pamela had also visited the
Whaley House
and witnessed a solid ghost she thought might be a staff-member
(it wasn't).
She also spoke of a comically brazen ghost cat that began to hang out in her home, much to the displeasure of her corporeal felines.
Pamela was such an awesome guest and indomitable force, the two hours whisked by.
Henry wanted to know more about battlefields, specifically
Cold Harbor
and its haunted
history thereof.
Henry pointed out the subsequent week, our guest would be
Lori Manns.
Pamela gave out her book information, her
website,
that she does a Supernatural Friday Blog
at her
Blogspot
page
(she did not add her pseudonym's
Sapphire Phelan
site),
and her
Facebook
page, and her
author Facebook page.
While she told us off-air prior to the show, Pamela neglected to mention she was to be
an official guest
at
Marscon
the January 18-20, 2013 weekend in Williamsburg, Virginia, so I mentioned it myself when
I provided the show's various page locations
(my site's
Paranormal View hub page,
the show's
official site,
that we're findable
on Facebook,
et al);
I didn't realize until we were done that
Kat
had not had time to give out her
her website,
but "it's not like" I don't add it on each report page.
She did remind me to add here the
Relay for life Indiana Ghost Trackers Southeast Central Chapter team
event link as I did with the
previous week's
edition.
And as for
The Paranormal View,
2013 had begun.
