THE 411: Can't get enough spooks, spirits, and specters? Now you'll never have to go a day without your ghoulish fix.

As a truly unique convention, each story directly relates to the specific day on which it's found. You'll find shocking stories of:

--Sightings of the spectral SS Valencia that was lost at sea on January 22nd, 1906

--The "Thirteen Lost Souls" trapped in the burning Jolema Building in Brazil on February 1st, 1974 seen roaming the new corridors and offices

--The ghostly "mist of the Green Lady" in the oldest graveyard in Burlington, Connecticut, which she started haunting on April 12, 1800

--Not for the faint of heart, this book delivers tales to terrify you every day of the year!

Hallopalooza Day 5: Happy Halloween!

Finally the big day is here. Time for the goblins, fairies, witches and warlocks to take to the streets! Whether you’re a kid, or a kid-at-heart, there’s something magical about All Hallows’ Eve.

For TKA client Ron Kolek, founder and lead investigator of The New England Ghost Project (NEGP), and his partner, fifth generation psychic/trance-medium, Maureen Wood – today is particularly busy. Tonight the team will be featured in a Halloween special on Boston’s WCVB TV Channel 5. They’ll also be guests on WCAP’s Merrimack Magazine radio show in Lowell, Mass., at 4:00pm,. Later in the evening, from 8:00pm – 12:30am, the team will take a journey into the unknown for a special Ghost Hunt and Midnight Séance at a sprawling old colonial home dating back to 1739. Saturday, November 1st, the team will be at the Haunted Houghton Mansion from 1pm – 1am. So, if you’re in the area and looking for some Halloween activities – be sure to check out these spooky events!

Earlier this week, Marley Gibson talked about a workshop she took with NEGP entitled, “Ghost Hunting 101,” in her TKA guest blog. During that course, Marley said she was suddenly “struck with the entire arc and storyline,’ for her upcoming series, GHOST HUNTRESS. Well this week has certainly been a busy one for Miss Marley! Last night, she was featured on The Biography Channel’s MY GHOST STORY: HAUNTINGS REVEALED, and this morning CNN.com released an article profiling Marley and her new series!

"The first thing I thought when I got the e-mail through my website was this had to be a joke. Someone from CNN.com wanted to interview me?” Marley says. “But then I talked to the reporter and he was amazing! I've been watching CNN since it's been on the air and to be interviewed about my ghost hunting and research for my book was a true honor. For CNN.com to give credence to the paranormal field like this will help people who are looking for answers about the afterlife and also introduce people to my books and the television and radio shows that my friends have out there, as well."

We are so happy for Marley, and have had such fun with her and the other bloggers this week, including, Melissa Francis, author of the upcoming books BITE ME! and LOVE SUCKS! and agent Lucienne Diver, who jumped into the fray with “Confessions of a Scream Team.” We hope you have had a great time also, and from everyone at TKA:

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
