7th annual PA Paranormal Conference
Speaker Bio's and Topics
Linda Zimmermann
Linda’s first career was as a Research Chemist for a medical diagnostics company, and she began writing as a hobby. The hobby turned into a fulltime career, and she is now the author of 18 books on history, science, science fiction, and ghosts. Realizing that the best way to tell a ghost story was to experience it firsthand, Linda has been conducting personal investigations at haunted sites for the past ten years. Combining a scientific approach with historical research, Linda’s goal is to bring together all of the evidence to tell the compelling story of the haunting and the people—both alive and dead—who are involved.
Linda has been featured on several television shows in the U.S. and Canada, and numerous radio programs. Her lecture schedule and other information can be found at her website at www.ghostinvestigator.com.
Linda will discuss her best cases from the past ten years.
Craig Telesha
Craig
Telesha has been interested in technology and its internal working almost all
his life. From an early age he has been dismantling and learning about every
electronic device that crossed his path and earned a local reputation as “the
guy who can fix just about anything.”
In his early teens, he became interested in paranormal phenomenon after reading various books based on psychokinetic energy and psychic awareness. While attending a paranormal conference in early 2000 and discovering a need for more technical information to be made available to the paranormal community, he combined these two interests and started the web site www.ghost-tech.com with the mindset of demystifying the technology behind the devices used for paranormal investigations.
Since then Telesha has been using his talents to modify everyday devices for use in paranormal investigations and even designing a few of his own. He currently holds the title as Technical Director for the Spirit Society of Pennsylvania, a local paranormal group based in New Cumberland, PA which is headed up by founders Kelly and John Weaver. Craig is also the author of "Strange Frequencies - A Practical Guide to Paranormal Technology". due to be released in early 2008.
Craig will discuss the technology behind ghost hunting.

He participates in paranormal investigations, working with paranormal investigators to assess haunted locations and photographic evidence of paranormal phenomena.

He is an Independent Film Producer operating in the New York metropolitan area.
