I've always heard that how you spend your New Year's is how the rest of the year will go for you...and I hope that's true! Last night I rang in the New Year with my Spooky family---the crew from Spectral Research and Investigations. We had a little end-of-the-year get together at our home base (the maybe haunted and definitely historic Museum of Radio and Technology in Huntington, WV). Unfortunately, not all our members could attend, but the evening was still filled with good food, new friends, ideas for the upcoming year, and of course a little ghost hunting. My husband and my son were able to attend, making the evening extra special.

The paranormal fun continues today as I'll be busy reading, writing, and watching some spooky documentaries! Once again, I've decided to attempt the Ultimate Blog Challenge, which means that there will be a brand-new blog post EVERY day this month, and today will definitely be a research day. I actually did really well with this last year, completing the entire year with a whopping 108 new posts. Here's hoping I can surpass that in 2023. Here's hoping that in general, 2023 is a damn good year, for me and for all of us. 2022 was an especially difficult year for me, but despite the hard times, I am grateful for all the opportunities I was given. I spoke at several different events, attended quite a few conferences and workshops, and got to investigate lots of really interesting places. Most importantly, I met some really awesome people and got to work with some really awesome people in this field. 

Usually in these New Year's posts I like to throw in some resolutions for the year ahead, but for the most part I'll skip that. However, please keep following me and the team on social media as we do have a LOT planned for this year. There is one thing you can help us with now---we just recently hit 100 subscribers on YouTube. This year, we'd like to increase that to 300 subscribers. If you haven't yet, please go subscribe to the SRI YouTube channel, and if you can, share share share! 2023 will see a variety of different types of videos being posted, in addition to our full-length documentary-style investigation videos. And as always, feel free to shoot me over any comments, ideas or suggestions for what YOU'D like to see!

Thank you so much for sticking with me another year and your continued support of Theresa's Haunted History. I love learning new things about the paranormal field and discovering strange and fascinating pieces of local history...but what's really exciting is getting to share it with you! Have a great year and as always...

Stay spooky!
