I've been familiar with Tom Moore's work for quite some time! We both started in this field around the same time, so I've met him and his team, Mid-Ohio Valley Ghost Hunters several times at different conferences and events, and it's always a pleasure to hear him speak and just see what teams in other parts of the state are doing.

As soon as I realized he had a Book out, on to my Amazon Wish List it went! And, per custom, when my birthday rolled around this past month, Luke and Aaron made a few selections straight off my list for me. Luckily, Truth Seeker: Seeking the Unknown was one of them.

This was a really cool book. For five years, Tom wrote a monthly column for The Parkersburg News and Sentinel, his area's local newspaper. These columns offered advice for those seeking their own paranormal adventures, shared some of his own experiences, and offered a glimpse into the haunted history of both well-known and obscure locations throughout the tri-state. The book is a collection of those columns, arranged chronologically and enhanced with photographs of many of the locations, some of which did not originally appear in the paper.

Each 'chapter' or column is only about a page and a half in length, making it a quick read. Although on the shorter side, each entry is a well-written and concise look at a unique aspect of the paranormal world. There's still plenty of good advice thrown in there for the novice up through the experienced investigator, and enough history and background on the locations featured to whet one's appetite for further self-research. And, like I said before---I just really like to see what other teams and investigators are up to. It's fun to see where they're going and what types of evidence and experiences they're having there. I like to see what types of equipment they use and what theories they subscribe to. It really challenges me as an investigator and inspires me to continue learning about this field.

Truth Seeker is a unique little archive of paranormal writings from a West Virginia author, researcher and investigator. If you're interested in learning more about haunted locations such as Bobby Mackey's, The Anchorage, or the WV State Penitentiary at Moundsville, you'll enjoy this book! If you're curious about the importance of patience, historical research, and NOT trespassing on private property, you'll also enjoy this book, lol! And, if you're just a fan of supporting local authors and those in the paranormal community, you'll want to pick up your own copy of Truth Seeker: Seeking the Unknown.
