Bruce Tango
Tonight our guest was Bruce Tango, of TAPS and occasional guest investigator on the TV series Ghost Hunters, promoting The Staring Man, his new, autobiographical DVD.
My new headset that Henry had sent me for my birthday was working perfectly so I was finally back to be audibly intelligible.
Henry started talking about the The Staring Man DVD, and the story behind it. Bruce spoke about growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, how at age 6 or so, he awoke to see a grinning, red-faced, six foot figure standing at the foot of his bed, just staring at Bruce. Years later when he was making the film, he learned his sister had seen it as well. Ceiling Cat [CC] Barbara Duncan asked if there was a history of psychism or mediumship in his family. He's been asked that before, but to his knowledge there's no such abilities.
Kat wondered about any paranormal activity prior to after that experience. The closest was a knock at the front door to no one there, as well as another time his father had him put away his baseball cards, but the next morning they were again strewn about. Bruce suspects that this may have been the entity's method of frightening him, though Bruce stressed he was never touched or harmed.
He said there were aspects of the story he has deliberately withheld, even from the DVD, that he will not discuss. He did not risk telling him mother, worried she might tell his father. He did tell his grandfather he trusted, who was more accepting.
Henry asked after the genesis of the movie, into which Bruce got.
After the first break, CC asked about the film's actors; did they have any paranormal experience? Bruce spoke about the actor Rich playing his grandfather, who had actually knew the man.
Bruce stressed he's only come across a seriously malignant entity twice. He said how "Hollywood" likes to convey that such evil happens All The Time, when it's tremendously rare.
He indicated people who have seen the film have contacted him, and based on their conversations, the same entity had appeared to them as well.
I asked as to why the completed film was not entered into the imdb, but Bruce indicated that they of the production have been discussing that.
CC asked if it was a built set, or did they shoot on location. Bruce said only the EVP session was in the original location. CC clarified whether any paranormal activity may have taken place where else they'd filmed.
After the second break, CC reported tonight our having listeners the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, and Greece.
Kat asked for Jenni B in the chat room, if they'd investigate the history of the property. Bruce indicated having found nothing to explain his encounter with this entity.
Henry asked Bruce's favourite spot he's investigated; he said there's an 18th century New Jersey building he investigated. Bruce saw a little girl about 9 years old run across the doorway right to left, glancing at Bruce and smiled. Another time there he did an EVP player but his batteries died, but they heard an audible disembodied voice of the little girl.
He and I concurred about how weird pretty much is all of New Jersey, paranormal-wise...
Henry touched on Bruce's working with his son on the Siffee series Ghost Hunters, who Bruce understandably praised.
Bruce attends various events held by Ideal Entertainment. He indicated he'd be attending in Woodbridge New Jersey the New Jersey ParaUnity Expo April 18th.
Bruce gave out his website of sorts, and his Facebook page. As an official guest, Bruce will be attending ParaFest 2013, September 6th through 8th 2013 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvia at the Sands Casino.
October 12 Bruce will be having a huge Halloween party, the details of which he'll release in a week.
I gave out the Paranormal View hub page on my website, indicating people from there can find the show's respective report pages, that we're very findable on Facebook, the official Paranormal View page page; Kat gave out the show's presence on Twitter, her own Twitter, her Kat Klockow author website, her Jinxed comic, and the show now being available on iTunes. Kat also put my Go Fund Me link into the chat room in case anyone wanted to assist.
Henry conveyed our guest the next week would be Ardy Sixkiller Clarke, and we wrapped out.

Amusingly, Henry mistakenly neglected to "switch off" the show, and the listeners in the chat room began pointing out they could Still Hear Us, several minutes after we'd wrapped. Sadly, Henry did switch off the recording of the show, so what they got in the chat room only they heard.
