My First (Halloween!) Giveaway + Ghost Hunters in Buffalo!


I've been wanting to do my very first giveaway for a while now, and I think this is the PERFECT opportunity!  As some of you may know, my all-time favorite TV show ever, which I'm officially obsessed with, is a show on SyFy called "Ghost Hunters".  It follows members of TAPS, or The Atlantic Paranormal Society, on ghost investigations around the country.  What I love the most about this show is their method.  They try to prove ghosts through science and go into every house/building with the intent of disproving the haunting.  This way, anything they pick up that can possibly be caused by something besides the paranormal is thrown out as evidence.

I freaked out two years ago when Ghost Hunters came to Buffalo in TWO episodes.  Three I guess if you count that winery in Appleton, NY (which has excellent wine, by the way)....  And I freaked out even more when the newest member of the team, Adam Berry, announced on Twitter that the live Halloween episode (which has been going on for years-every Halloween the investigation is broadcast live in SyFy for a few hours!) was going to take place in my beloved city of Buffalo.  At the Central Terminal, which is very near and dear to my heart.  My mom grew up right down the street from it and my dad used to drive us to the (scary) East Side of Buffalo just to look at it. 

So, tune in to SyFy on October 31st, or watch from syfy.com. 

Now for the GIVEAWAY!!

Ghost Hunting: True Stories of Unexplained Phenomena from The Atlantic Paranormal SocietySeeking Spirits: The Lost Cases of The Atlantic Paranormal Society

In honor of Ghost Hunters filming live on Halloween in my city, I am going to be giving away the first two books that Jason and Grant from the show wrote.  They have some of their most chilling stories of investigations they've done since starting TAPS ages ago.  Book One is called Ghost Hunting: True Stories of Unexplained Phenomena from the Atlantic Paranormal Society.  Book Two is called Seeking Spirits: The Lost Cases of the Atlantic Paranormal Society.  Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these true stories will really freak you out!  I still get spooked at night when I think about these experiences.

There will be TWO winners for this giveaway.  Each winner will win either Book One or Book Two.  This giveaway IS INTERNATIONAL.  You do NOT need to be a follower to enter.  All you need to do to enter is either leave a comment with your email address or (if you don't want your email public on my page) send me an email with the subject "Giveaway" with your name and email address.  I will put each entry into a list based on when you enter and then the two winners will be chosen from random.org.  You can only enter once.  Giveaway ends on October 30 and I will announce the two winners on October 31st, Halloween!

Feel free to share this giveaway with anyone you think might be interested!  And if you live in the US, don't forget to watch Ghost Hunters live in Buffalo, NY on October 31st at 7 PM!

  11. I have wayched the series and they certainly go to a lot of trouble with all their equipment.

    The episode that interested me most was when they went to Europe and investigated a haunted castle.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  15. My partner is a HUGE fan of Ghost Hunters, but we live in Australia so sadly we won't get to see the episode live. Winning one of these books for him would definitely help ease the pain though :)
