Do you enjoy a good ghost story?
How about tales of extraterrestrials?
For more than a quarter of a century, the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society has investigated ghosts, aliens, cryptids, and all manner of bizarre claims and happenings in Colorado and beyond. Combining historic and scientific research with a love of the weird and scary, they’ve researched and documented some of the best paranormal stories in the world. Now, Colorado’s first and only forensic paranormal investigation team is proud to present this much-anticipated second volume of their collected case files. Within these pages, you’ll learn not only the ghostly and paranormal stories, but the histories of the allegedly haunted locations and the methods Rocky Mountain Paranormal uses to get to the bottom of some of the world’s strangest phenomena.
Included in this volume:
*Denver’s most haunted mansion
*A murder that led to ghost stories
*A paranormal investigation lasting more than 15 years
*An infestation of invisible jellyfish monsters
*An alien sighting that led to political action
*Ghosts and tommyknockers in an old mine
*The haunting of Denver’s first fire station
*An investigation in an active casino
*And many more
Some of the cases are solved and others remain deep mysteries, but all are both entertaining and informative. Whether you like ghosts, aliens, monsters, history, science, or all of the above, these case files have something sure to please, and perhaps even to bring a chill to your spine.
