I always wanted to be a ghostbuster. Even before the movie came out, I was fascinated with the idea that my city might be inhabited by more than the millions of residents that make up the boroughs of NY. I had lots of dreams about apparitions floating above my bed, all through my childhood, and when I woke up, every single time, I had a hard time distinguishing between worlds. It still takes awhile to adjust, but that’s what coffee is for. Some of my quirks aren’t unusual at all, I just like to think they are. So I’ve grown to accept that my apparitions in the night might just be my own sleepiness, but there are still some things out there that I sure can’t explain.
It’s nice to think that one day I’ll be visiting those five star New York hotels to meet famous people and give interviews on my life’s work. So far, I just get to visit the hotels when a friend’s come in from out of town. The rest of the time I look into things that are pretty run of the mill, and on some days, I have to admit that there are many things about my job that are boring. There are paranormal investigators in a lot of the bigger cities, and I’m not the only one in New York. Singapore is one of my favorite places to visit for this kind of thing, and has become my favorite place outside of my hometown.
But New York has its share of places that are haunted, that’s for certain. Whether or not these are actual ghosts, or just the memories and the history of the places that carry intense psychic energy is still up for debate. I haven’t been able to verify anything. At least, nothing that would be considered irrefutable evidence, but then again, I don’t know of any positively irrefutable evidence. I do know, however, that after a little while doing this work, you tend to have experiences that you can report on, and ones you cannot, and I’m much more quiet than I used to be.
