I’m The Haunted Librarian. Been this for awhile. A man is attempting to impersonate me by setting up fake haunted librarian Web sites. His first one was shut down. His second one will be, as well. All of this in an effort to harass me. His actions are malicious. He’s very, very upset about a few blogs I wrote exposing a #ParaScammer pseudo-artist who lied about his art. There are many lessons here. One of the major lessons is: Do your research. Before you purchase anything from a Web site, investigate to see whether the artist is legit.

Another thing this man is attempting to do is harass my friends. Although my friends aren’t in the paranormal community, they do discuss, research, and investigate our lost society: specifically, the abandoned lives of past generations. Matthew Christopher runs a few great sites: Abandoned America, https://www.facebook.com/abandonedamerica.us/?fref=ts; https://instagram.com/abandoned_america/; https://twitter.com/abandonedameric. Check him out.

My other friend is Sean Galbraith. He is an urban explorer. Check out his Web site and social media, http://seangalbraith.com/, https://twitter.com/seanphotos, https://www.flickr.com/photos/smlg/.

These two men inspire my research in the paranormal. No, not every location I explore is haunted. Every location I explore has a story. It is our responsibility to listen and to retell the stories accurately.
