Amy Bruni Gives Ghost Hunting & Debunking Advice

With Halloween (and Ghost Hunters Live) just a few days away, DIY Life has posted a simple guide to ghost hunting, with some helpful advice from Amy Bruni. The article goes over several types of unexplained activity, tools that paranormal investigators use to document them, and completely normal explanations for what is going in. For example, Amy points out that a toilet flushing by itself could simply be a problem with your plumbing, not a ghost determined to send you a message.
What Would a Ghost Hunter Do? Cold and hot spots are some of the most common household irregularities for which ghost hunters are summoned, and they also seem to be one of the real trademarks of paranormal activity. But just because you've got cold feet or an, er...unusually hot seat, don't expect Bruni and her team to declare your house The Amityville Horror; you can be too quick with those haunting conclusions. "We've found many hot and cold spots that couldn't be traced to specific causes. But while they're strange, they alone aren't what Ghost Hunters classify as paranormal," she says.

Another Kris Williams Interview; Kris On Traveling, Eating, & Music

A recent slew of Kris Williams interviews are emerging online (another sign that something is about to happen involving her), the latest one has appeared on HauntJaunts.Net, a paranormal themed travel blog. Kris discusses the thing she cannot travel without (her iPod), her off camera experience with Dustin at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, her diet on the road, and her love of music.
HJ: What’s something you absolutely don’t travel without?



KW: One thing I never travel without is my iPod. Not only do I love music but it’s nice for downloading movies and is great for just about any travel situation. It’s perfect for flights and a long car ride. It’s amazing how music can keep you sane.


Lately another thing I have started to pick up is reading. I was never big on reading before. Over the summer a friend of mine gave me a book about Jim Morrison and before I knew it, I was picking up another one about him, then moved on to “The Alchemist” and now I’m onto some true crime books. With travel it’s all about finding things that you can put down and pick right back up whenever you have the time.
Keep reading the interview at Haunt Jaunts.

Kris Williams Talks GH Live, Ouija Boards, 'Paranormal Activity', & More

Kris Williams recently conducted an interview with the website Accidental Sexiness. The interview encompasses a wide variety of topics, including her thoughts on ouija boards and the movie Paranormal Activity (she hasn't seen it), working with the Real Housewives of Atlanta (she says that they took the work seriously and didn't freak out when they experienced activity), and the upcoming Ghost Hunters Live event.
Neal for AS: Did you see Paranormal Activity?
Kris: You know, I have no desire to see it and everyone asks me that. I do this every day for real so I don’t need to see the movies about it. It’s like, ‘I’m gonna go investigate an old fort tomorrow, why would I want to go see a movie about it?’ I’d rather be at the fort. Plus Hollywood makes things bigger and crazier and I’d be picking it apart.
Neal for AS: That makes sense. I never thought about it that way. One of the things they do in the movie is pull out a Ouija board to try and talk to the ghost. What do you think about ouija boards?


Kris: I’ve played with them when I was a kid. I think everybody is guilty of it. I had some crazy stuff come out of it. We played every day and it turned into a weird morbid thing, but it was fun. After using it for so long we started hearing things in our house, doors slamming, footsteps, and so forth. Whether it had anything to do with the board I have no idea. People always say you should mess with them, that you are opening yourself up to things.
I think there is some truth to that, I’m just not sure how much.

Kris Williams has given us yet another tantalizing clue regarding her big secret. In her interview with FlutterZine, Kris said this is response to a question about seeing anything new from her in the future "Yes! Big things are coming soon! Unfortunately, I can't get into detail just yet but keep an eye on my Twitter! I will say I am super excited and happy about everything-can't wait to share!" Kris' response definitely adds intrigue to the ongoing mystery surrounding her secret. Her secret has even inspired its own hash tag on Twitter #krisbigsecret!
