I hope this year is going better than last year so far for everyone, and I hope everyone had a great (and safe) New Year despite everything going on in the world right now.

As you know, I do all of the writing, research, web development, video editing, and content creation for GhostQuest.net myself, and I appreciate your support so much!! As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been posting as much this last month... but that doesn't mean I haven't been hard at work rolling out some exciting new changes and updates in the background!! So what's new? Last month I decided to take some time away from updating my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Texas page to scour the internet for haunted locations I hadn't added to my database yet. So far I've added hundreds of new haunted locations among all 50 states in my haunted database, which has turned into quite a lengthy project... though it's definitely worth the time!! Some of these locations I've discovered sound so interesting, I can't wait to go back and write about them later!! As I go through each haunted state adding locations, I've also decided to make some updates to the website's background code so that things load faster, and look better. These changes will also make it so that I can add a "search" feature to GhostQuest.net sometime in the future. Let's start 2021 off looking and feeling fresh!! Unfortunately though as some of you have noticed, that means I have less time to write about the locations, so I've been posting a lot less. I'm hoping by the end of the month I'll be finished finding new locations, and can return to making new videos and working on my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Texas. And after all this extra work, I might be able to move GhostQuest.net up a notch from "one of the internet's largest paranormal databases," to "the internet's actual largest paranormal database." It's a milestone I've been shooting for now for quite some time, and hope that soon GhostQuest will be the #1 online resource for paranormal investigators and enthusiasts.

Sorry blog readers, this free eBook is only available when you sign up for the GhostQuest.net Monthly Newsletter. News & Updates First off, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone reading this newsletter, and everyone who takes the time to share my posts and send me messages on social media! As you know, I do all of the writing, research, web development, video editing, and content creation myself, and I appreciate your support so much! As some of you may know, things have been going a bit slower here at GhostQuest.net lately due to my recent shoulder surgery, but they're slowly getting back to normal. I just want to say again how thankful I am for my awesome network of followers and friends who have reached out to ask how I'm doing. You guys are the best!!! Last month I was finally able to finish my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Michigan page, which will soon begin going through the editing process, and being made into its own book. For now though, you can see my list of Michigan Ghost Stories for free by clicking here. Despite being a published author, my research will always be available for free on my website, but purchasing a copy of the eBook or Paperback is still a great way to show your support for my work!! Plus, my website doesn't have that "new book" smell to it that I personally love!! I also sell signed copies of my books for just $11, which means you can get a signed copy for less than you would be able to get it on Amazon. The only drawback is that it takes a little longer to ship, but if anyone is interested feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to send you a personal copy! So now that Michigan is finally finished, I'll be going through my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Massachusetts page, and doing some final edits before turning that into a new book as well. Over the next few weeks I'll also be working on the cover art for the Massachusetts book, and making all the final edits and tweaks. As I mentioned in my previous few newsletters, I'm publishing all of these books and doing all the editing and cover art myself, which is a lot of work, but also offers me the freedom to go back later to make factual edits, additions, and corrections. I can't wait for you guys to check out my new book (or check it out for free Here on GhostQuest.net) and learn about some of the awesome, spooky haunted locations throughout the state of Massachusetts; from the Lizzie Borden House, to the Salem Witch Trials, to the Weeping Woman of Lovis Cove, I cover as much haunted ground as possible, and you will definitely want this book for your spooky collection.

On September 4th, 2020, I was given the amazing opportunity to attend an overnight paranormal investigation at the infamously haunted Wilson Castle in my home state of Vermont. So I wanted to take some time to write a blog about my experiences there, and also wanted to say a huge thank you to my friend Matt Waddell from Paranormal Buzz Radio (as well as the rest of the crew at AJ's Paranormal, DTM Photography, Paranormal After Life Investigations, Protectworth Mysterial Research, SIS Paranormal, and Spirit Trackers) for inviting me along!!! The History
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Shea from SIS Paranormal for taking these awesome pictures and allowing me to use them for this blog!!
Wilson Castle in Proctor, Vermont was built in the mid-1800's by a wealthy physician named John Johnson, and his wife, Sarah. Construction of the house and its surrounding 18 stables, carriage houses, farms, and other outbuildings took almost eight years and cost over $1.3 million (over $33 million in today's currency). The castle itself consists of 33 rooms, including an art gallery, servant's quarters, music room, pool room, and parlor, all of which are filled with a number of historic artifacts that are either original to the home, or were acquired by those who resided within its walls over the course of its macabre and fascinating history.
The Johnson family lived in the castle for just under a decade before Sarah Johnson suddenly passed away, and John Johnson mysteriously moved away just weeks later. Details about Sarah Johnson's death as well as the disappearance of John Johnson are both heavily shrouded in mystery, leading to many urban legends about their death and disappearance, as well as rumors of the castle allegedly being haunted. Throughout the course of our investigation, some of us believe we may have received some clues from the spirits residing at the castle as to what may have become of Sarah and John Johnson.
Arriving At the Castle
I arrived at Wilson Castle with my girlfriend, Kelli, a few minutes earlier than the rest of our group. We parked next to a car which belonged to a young man and woman who had just taken the tour. I was already getting excited, so I asked them how it was. The couple told us they hadn't experienced any paranormal activity while inside the castle, but it was creepy. As a first-time investigator and major skeptic I expected this to set the tone for the rest of the evening... however, there were some occurrences that happened later on in the night that I was unable to debunk or find a logical explanation for.
As we waited for the last few group members to arrive at the castle before beginning the official tour, our group began to make its way inside Wilson Castle one by one to do some exploring. Stepping through the doors to the castle was like stepping through a portal back in time, and one of the things I immediately noticed upon entering the main hallway was the large stained-glass window with the family's coat of arms emblazoned on it. To the left was the parlor room which our group would use as our main headquarters throughout the investigation, which ended up lasting until 8:00 a.m. the following morning. To the right lies a room which houses a number of relics and artifacts that were gifted to the Wilson family, including a chair from the Ming dynasty carved with ornate wooden dragons, and a tea set that was gifted to the family by Queen Mary of England.
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio for allowing me to use this awesome picture of the Parlor Room and chair for this blog!!
The next room we came to was the art gallery, which hosts a collection of artwork ranging from antique paintings, Greek statues, Chinese scrolls, and even paintings of the Wilson Castle itself commissioned by various artists in different artistic styles over a number of decades. The ceiling of the gallery also extends for three stories upward, which gives it a massive, cavernous feel. Then, two doors leading off the gallery soon led us to one of my favorite parts of the castle; the balcony, with its brick archways providing a breathtaking view of the fields and outbuildings below, and the vast ranges of the Green Mountains which lie just beyond them.
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Nicole from SIS Paranormal for taking these awesome pictures and allowing me to use them for this blog!!
After this we were all gathered together and given the official tour of the castle, which proved to be packed with interesting information about the building's history, as well as the artifacts inside. At this point we were all brought to the castle's 2nd Floor where most of the family bedrooms are located, as well as a large pool room located in the center which connects all the rooms on that floor.
Several of the bedrooms on this floor have ghost stories associated with them, such as one room that I referred to as "The Green Room," where a woman in mourning is allegedly seen wearing a black dress. Common practice during the Victorian era was for a widow to wear a mourning dress for at least two years after the death of her husband, so it's possible the woman seen wearing the dress died shortly after losing her husband or some other family member.
Another room on the 2nd Floor which is said to be haunted is known as "Sarah's Room," where Sarah Johnson once lived and died. This room is considered by many to be one of the castle's most haunted rooms, with many visitors reporting seeing the ghost of a woman believed to be Sarah Johnson reflected in a large mirror on the wall. Some visitors have even captured pictures of strange apparitions reflected in the mirror which were not visible at the time the photographs were taken, and many of these photographs are on display in Sarah's Room. The servant's quarters was another interesting area where we ended up experiencing a lot of unexplained paranormal phenomena later that night, though the area only consists of three small bedrooms and a washroom. Up until this point, I hadn't really felt any spooky vibes from Wilson Castle, however once we got to the 3rd Floor the building took on a much creepier and more menacing appearance. According to the guide who gave us the tour of the castle, the 3rd Floor was never finished by the Johnson family for unknown reasons. For this reason much of the 3rd Floor is unlit, with broken windows and peeling drywall which lend magnificently to its haunted aesthetic. The 3rd Floor is also home to a number of unique and interesting artifacts, including the castle's collection of Halloween props, which scared the life out of me a few times later that night as I was wandering around upstairs in the pitch darkness with nothing but a flashlight.
One spooky story told is that the 3rd Floor is allegedly haunted by the spirit of a young child whose name, identity, and cause of death are unknown. During an EVP session later that night though, it seems we may have been able to speak to the young boy or girl, who may have revealed the disturbing cause of their death.
The Investigation
After sticking around for a few hours to answer our questions, the tour guides (all of whom are descendants of the Wilson family) left the castle at around 7:00 p.m., at which point we were given free reign over the building, and began to plan out our investigation. Once it began getting dark we started setting up some of the equipment such as cameras, voice recorders, and other more specialized gear such as full spectrum cameras, trigger objects, REM pods, laser grids, etc. As I said before, this was my first true paranormal investigation, so getting to see some of the gear and learn how to use it myself was such a cool and interesting experience!!
Then the fun began, and almost right from the start we began to experience a variety of strange paranormal phenomena. Even if these experiences weren't supernatural in origin they were still very strange, and hard for me to dismiss. I'm won't lie, it felt like something you'd expect to see on a television show about ghost hunting, which I was not expecting at all.
As soon as we started setting up the equipment in the room, my girlfriend and one of the other investigators in the room began to notice some type of movement near the doorways, which I myself didn't see. We began asking questions and started receiving what seemed like potentially intelligent responses almost immediately. First we began asking the child for their name, or how old they were, and the response we got was a voice seeming to reply, "I'm too young."
Too young for what? The next answer we received was both short and disturbing: "Rape." I immediately felt the energy in the room shift from excitement to discomfort as we began asking more questions... who raped you? What is your name? Do you know you're dead?
Check out this recording of the EVP, and let me know what you think in the comments below!!
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Donyell from DTM Photography for allowing me to use this amazing EVP recording for this blog!! Please also note that in order to share this clip, I had to upload it to Vimeo under my username, and I do not take credit for this video or recording.
This is when some of us think we may have captured some clues from the spirits living in the house as to what may have happened to John and Sarah Johnson, the castle's original owners. While asking if there was anyone in the room with us, we started to hear muffled voices coming through the speaker of the cellphone.
Very shortly after this, my girlfriend Kelli and one of the other investigators, Barbara, began to feel extremely dizzy and nauseous, and had to leave the room. As they left the room, I called out after them, "are you guys okay?" A voice on the speaker appeared to reply, saying "it's just us." I wondered if perhaps the spirits in the room with us had attempted to use our energy to manifest themselves, which could have caused our two group members to feel ill. Jeff and myself decided to stay in the room and ask some questions to see if a spirit was indeed present with us. When asking why the spirit was stuck in the castle, we heard a voice appearing to say either "I lost Sarah," or "I love Sarah." We heard more voices coming through the speakers which appeared to say, "she doesn't love me." One voice came over the speaker saying, "I've killed," followed by the word "strangulation" or "suffocation," and then a frantic female voice which appeared to say, "he's too strong." Over the next several minutes the words that came from the equipment we were using were both disturbing and unexpected; a series of slurs and swearwords, most of which were derogatory slang terms used for women. We heard a man appearing to yell the words "bitch," and "slut," and several others that were even worse which I won't bring myself to repeat here. But frankly, some of the language that came through during this session was very vulgar and unsettling. Despite all this though, I never felt unwelcome or scared at all in Wilson Castle, except at one point when I stepped into The Green Room by myself. Immediately upon entering the room I felt a heaviness, as if being repelled by an unseen force. I had intended to walk to the window on the far side of the room to look out and around, because I hadn't been in that particular room yet since the investigation began. It was as if all my intuition was suddenly telling me I should leave... so I immediately did. Time seemed to be flying by as our investigation commenced, and before I knew it, the sun had risen and it was time to head back home. Departing the Castle
I'm not sure if it was the fact that I had only slept for about 90 minutes in the last 24 hours, but despite feeling as if the night had dragged on forever, I couldn't believe it was already over. Before going we took a few photographs with the other groups and said our goodbyes. Although I'm still a skeptic at heart, this experience definitely gave me something to think about, and a new perspective. I hope to do it again some day. Oh, and did you notice in the first picture on the left I'm holding an old brick from Wilson Castle, which I purchased as a souvenir for $5.00? Although I don't think the brick is haunted or cursed, there's definitely a lingering energy to it.
Thank you Jeff from AJ's Paranormal for taking these awesome pictures and allowing me to use them for this blog!!

 Hey everyone! It's August already, which means it's already time for the next GhostQuest.net monthly newsletter! I don't know if it's just me, but wow is 2020 going by fast!! I hope you're all having a great Summer so far, despite everything going on in the world right now!! For those of you who are just recently becoming part of the community - welcome aboard, and thank you for subscribing! I'm Brian Weaver and I run GhostQuest.net, one of the internet's largest online resources for paranormal researchers, investigators, and folklore enthusiasts. If you haven't received your FREE copy of my eBook, Top 5 American Monsters, you can click the link here to download it as a special Thank You just for signing up for my newsletter! For those of you reading this on my blog, sorry, this is for newsletter subscribers only!!! News & Updates First off, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone reading this newsletter, and everyone who takes the time to share my posts and send me messages on social media! As you know, I do all of the writing, research, web development, video editing, and content creation myself, and I appreciate your support so much! As some of you may have noticed, things have been going a bit slower here at GhostQuest.net lately, and that's because unfortunately earlier this month I suffered an unexplained seizure and completely broke my right shoulder in several spots, which as you can imagine has been an incredibly painful injury. Due to the nature of the injury I had to undergo a full shoulder replacement surgery, which is still causing me a lot of pain, and is just the first step on a long, long road to recovery... Despite all this, when I have the strength I've still been doing my best to post as much new content for you guys as possible!! But unfortunately since I'm right-handed, it's been slow going since I have to do everything with my left hand. I'm trying my best to stay positive, but honestly it's been a really hard month for me and my girlfriend, Kelli, who has had to do almost everything for me, from getting me dressed in the morning, to making lunch, cleaning up around the house, and so much more... all of this on top of working overnight shifts on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic as a nursing assistant. She doesn't read these newsletters, but I still feel the need to express my deep gratitude for all that she's done for me over the last month (and 5 years of our relationship). I also can't even begin to express how thankful I am for my network of followers and friends who have reached out to ask how I'm doing. You guys are the best!!! If anyone reading this cares enough to help us out financially throughout all this, you can go to my Patreon page and make a pledge, and I'd really, really appreciate it!! Even just $1 a month helps out a ton with covering the costs of hosting GhostQuest.net, and even a one-time pledge makes a difference! But anyway, let's move onto some positive news! Over the last month, the GhostQuest.net Link Exchange has seen a huge overhaul, with over 30 new paranormal content creators being added to the exchange!! For those of you who don't know what the Link Exchange is, it's one of the biggest ways that GhostQuest.net gives back to the paranormal community by helping to promote other paranormal content creators, such as YouTubers, Bloggers, Authors, Investigators, and more!! If you're a paranormal content creator and haven't checked out the Link Exchange yet, I highly recommend doing so!! Without going into too much boring detail, having other websites link back to your Webpage, Blog, or YouTube Channel helps your search rankings on Google, not to mention some of my followers might click the link too!! So what are you waiting for? Send me an email (ghostquest.usa@gmail.com) with the name of your Blog, Website, or YouTube Channel, the webpage URL you want me to link to, and the thumbnail you'd like me to use, and that's it, I'll do the rest!! As many of you also know, back in June I published my first book, The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: New York, which tells over 300 true ghost stories, urban legends, and folklore tales throughout the state of New York! As an indie author I was originally really disappointed when things fell through with my publisher, and I discovered I was going to have to self publish my new book without any help or guidance... but being able to make edits and other minor tweaks as new information becomes available is a huge bonus that I wouldn't have otherwise. Plus, knowing I did everything myself, from the research, to the cover art, is such an awesome feeling!!  If you want to receive a FREE copy of my new book in exchange for agreeing to leave me an honest review on Amazon, just reply to this email and say you want to get a free copy, and I'll send you one! You can also sign up to get free copies of all my upcoming books up to one month early by signing up for the GhostQuest.net Book Review Club!!! Who doesn't love a free book? As a newly beginning author, having reviews for my book is really important, so for those of you who have read my book and would be willing to leave me a review, I would really really appreciate it! And when you do, send me a link to the review or a screenshot, or let me know so I can give you a shoutout on social media! It really means a lot to me!!!! I'll also be releasing my next book, The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Massachusetts sometime around the beginning of autumn if everything goes well! So if you want to get a free copy of that one, be sure to sign up for the GhostQuest.net Book Review Club!!! I promise you won't regret it!! And don't forget, I've also been working on a Video Series on YouTube to go along with my new book, The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: New York!! If you like my books, or my ghost stories, I know you'll love these spooky videos, narrated by me!! I try and release a new video every Saturday, but due to my recent injury it's been more like biweekly, or whenever I can manage to do one... things are getting back to normal, but slowly... So here's my latest YouTube video for those who haven't checked it out yet about New York's Most Haunted Hotels & Inns, which may just be my best, spookiest video yet! I've also begun recording episodes for my YouTube Channel a week early, which I post for all my $1 Patreon Subscribers to enjoy a full week before everyone else! If you haven't checked out my Patreon Page, I have a bunch of other cool stuff on there too, like blog posts, polls, and more! Once I hit 20 subscribers I'll begin doing monthly contests and giveaways where you can win cool stuff, like books, tee shirts, event tickets, and other cool merchandise! To those of you guys who do support me on Patreon (all 6 of you!!) I just want to say a special THANK YOU for helping out, especially in these trying times! I work really hard to put out the amount of content I do on GhostQuest.net and your contribution towards my hosting and production costs help me out SO MUCH! Another exciting update I've made to GhostQuest.net is adding a "User Comments & Submissions" form for each of the locations listed on my Haunted City pages. This gives my readers a chance to leave comments and feedback, or submit their own personal stories and pictures!! Here's an example of what I mean as displayed on my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Detroit and my Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Mackinac Island pages! I'd love to hear some of your stories! Well, that's it for the GhostQuest.net August, 2020 newsletter! Thank you all again so much for subscribing and supporting GhostQuest.net! Have a spooky August!
