Historic Haunts Founder Jamie Pearce and Author David Sloan 2015 1. How long have you been involved in the paranormal and what got you interested in in? My kindergarten teacher turned me on to ghosts. She had a Native American spirit that knocked around behind the walls and tossed her cat down the stairs. On the last day of class she showed us a photograph of the ghost. From that moment I was hooked. I started my first ghost tour in 1996, so professionally; I’m looking at 20 years.
2. What is the most exciting paranormal encounter that you have had? I participated in a misa espiritual. It’s a Santeria ceremony that is similar to a séance in some aspects but in reality is much, much more. The misa lasted about 4 hours and the spirit communication was as clear visually and audibly as if I were conversing in a room of living friends. I communed with the spirits for several hours and it brought my understanding of what is out there to levels I’ve never imagined. There are good things and bad things about this. You can’t unlearn things or pretend they don’t exist after experiencing them like this.
3. What is the worst experience? I’ve been attacked by dark entities on a few occasions. Being yanked from my bed was probably the worst, but there are a dozen more experiences that basically left me terrified.
4. How many books have you written on the topic and where is the best place for readers to purchase them? I have 4 books that tie into the paranormal. Ghosts of Key West and Haunted Key West are collections of stories from Key West’s most infamous haunted locations. The book I’m most proud of is all about Robert the Doll. I researched him for 16 years before writing the book and I uncovered a slew of information that was hidden for more than 100 years. I also published The Lost Diary of Count Von Cosel. He’s the guy who dug up the dead girl and married her. Amazon has all of my titles, but people can get autographed copies if they order from www.phantompress.com
We also have a Ghost Tour and Ghost Hunt in Key West. www.hauntedkeywest.com
Happy Hauntings!
