A 6-minute update from Fiona Broome, explaining recent and upcoming changes at the Mandela Effect website.
In this four-minute podcast, Fiona replies to recent articles claiming the Mandela Effect is a conspiracy theory. And yes, it's a rant, and it has nothing to do with ghost hunting. (Sorry about that.)
In this 10-minute recording, you can learn how to use history to confirm and increase ghostly activity at haunted locations. Fiona shares some of her best-kept secrets, with tips for putting them to use in your own investigations.

This podcast is one of my earliest. I originally recorded it in October 2006, shortly after Hurricane Katrina. The following topics are part of this 20-minute recording.
Hotel Monteleone appears to be a portal of some kind. (That's true of many French Quarter locations.) This hotel is unusual because people not only encounter the hotel's ghosts, they seem to connect with their own loved ones, as well.
Jackson Square's vivid military history is just one reason why it's among New Orleans' most haunted areas.
Pirates Alley is named after the ghost of pirate Jean Lafitte. He and his brothers - and perhaps other pirates - appear there, especially on foggy nights.
Brennan's Restaurant is a popular, internationally famous restaurant. It's also the home of four ghosts. Two appear upstairs. Two appear downstairs.
New Orleans is still among America's best places to encounter ghosts. Some areas of New Orleans are still in recovery, even in 2017 as I'm updating this. But, the French Quarter was barely touched by the hurricane and the flooding that followed.

New Orleans book: I mentioned this project in my podcast. However, my publisher and I were never able to agree on several important issues. So, I'm sorry to say that book wasn't completed and I don't expect to resume work on it.
Glitches: The sound quality isn't very good, but - in 2006 - after two weeks of truly weird things happening to the recording, I decided to post it anyway.
Then, in 2009, when we changed Hollow Hill's format and had to re-import all the files, this one file kept giving us problems. I'm not sure why, but it makes me wonder just what I said in the podcast that results in these weird glitches.

What are "era cues" and how can they trigger ghostly encounters?
In this 12-minute podcast, Fiona Broome discusses the concept of "era cues" as presented on an episode of Ghost Lab. She explains how you can use them to improve your research results, as well as what you encounter during ghost tours and events.

In this four-minute mini-podcast, Fiona Broome explains how and why to run baseline checks of yourself -- physically, mentally, and emotionally -- before you begin any paranormal investigation.
The point is: If you know what's normal for you, or at least normal for that day, you'll be able to tell when paranormal activity influences how you feel.
At HollowHill.com, Fiona offers a free instruction sheet (an edited transcript of this mini-podcast) as well as a sheet to use to help you identify how you're feeling, emotionally, before, during, and after the investigation.

Laconia, New Hampshire is a gold mine of haunted locations. This 2011 podcast is Part 2 (of 2) about haunted places around Tilton, Franklin, and Laconia, New Hampshire.
In the previous podcast, Fiona Broome discussed these locations:
-
Hall Memorial Library, Northfield-Tilton, NH.
-
Tilton Mystery Tunnel, Tilton, NH.
-
Two buildings and a cemetery at Webster Place, Franklin, NH.
-
Daniel Webster birthplace, Franklin, NH.
In this 27-minute podcast, Fiona talks about visiting Laconia, NH with a neighbor. He remembered a house from his childhood; the house had "ghost stories" and a legend about a hidden Underground Railroad room.
Fiona describes what happened when they visited the house, including evidence of its Colonial history, the Underground RR room, and hash marks on the attic staircase walls and the inside of the door.
However, the owners of the home assured Fiona and her neighbor that there were no ghosts there.
The next day, Fiona returned to that area and found several other sites worth investigating:
Tavern 27 at the Mystic Meadows, 2075 Parade Road, Laconia, NH, and the gift shop behind it.
The former site of the Anti-Pedo Baptist Church of Meredith, NH, which was burned to the ground on behalf of a neighbor, Mrs. Morgan.
Mead Cemetery (433427N / 0712936W) and Round Bay Cemetery, Laconia, NH.
Fiona also recommends looking for the Folsom graves at Laconia's Union Cemetery (between Garfield St. and Academy St.), where the petrified bodies were reburied.
How to find similar haunted locations where you are:
-
Ask people if they know any local, haunted places.
-
Follow your instincts. Drive around, look at maps, and -- psychic or not -- pay attention to your "gut feelings."
-
Research history! Look for patterns -- geographical or historical -- that connect the locations.
-
Ask more questions. Collect more stories and look for "odd" comments and history.
-
Investigate, then ask more questions, and conduct more historical research.
