On The Trail of Ghosts

What was once scoffed at on Scooby Doo and late night television ads, psychic and paranormal dramas are big draws on reality TV these days. A&E takes a scientific angle, following researchers from Columbia and Penn state on "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal," and "Paranormal State." Hokey portrayals of mediums and spirit seekers have given way to high-tech phantom squads on the Sci-Fi Channel’s hit, "Ghost Hunters."

With all this playing out in America’s living rooms, it’s not so shocking that a perfectly rational library director would call for a psychic investigation of the Meredith Public Library. Staff there reported a series of strange phenomena - equipment moved around recently, shelved books mysteriously found facing the other direction moments later... Well, as the song goes, who you gonna call? Ghost Quest, a three-woman crew from New Hampshire that claims technology, psychic powers, and a deep knowledge of dark forces to understand the supernatural.

Their new book Ghost Quest in New Hampshire follows their exploits. Two team members are with us today. Becka Boyd is lead investigator and psychic medium, and Katie Boyd is lead investigator and demonologist.
