Recently, I was hired to do some time sensitive research for the Travel Channel program "The Dead Files". While I can't discuss the details until after the program airs, sometime in December or January, it was a thrilling chase! Unfortunately, I was slated to appear on the show with Steve Dischiavi, but the research segment they had chosen to film got scrapped. It happens....
Before this I had never seen an episode of this show, so I did a cram viewing session. As you can see by my other posts on serendipity I have a leaning toward paranormal belief. The show is quite thorough at background genealogy and history research whether you are a believer or skeptic.
The one indisputable thing that I found eerie is how each house has proven unusual deaths, usually many over generations. For me, I felt a sense of these souls needing their stories to be told. This is what happens to me so very often. It was surprising to find I didn't feel uncomfortable at all with this research on unusual deaths, quite the contrary, my detective radar is still working on more findings.
