While in the past we have stayed away from these kinds of events, this year we decided to just go for it.And boy did we have fun. We had a great turn out of members who wanted to help out with the booth. I'm sure I'm forgetting some but thanks again, Steve, Madeline, Rachael and Janet for staying http://blogs.aghost.org/2007/10/aghost-has-fun-at-fair.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Stephanie)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-7295032094123787922Tue, 02 Oct 2007 04:39:00 +00002007-10-01T22:12:58.173-07:00The last summer, TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) and the SCI-FI Channel came to Seattle to investigate the Northern State Hospital and the Seattle Underground. That episode encompassing both investigations aired early this fall, on September 26th.AGHOST President and founder Ross Allison, who often works at the Seattle Underground, was given the opportunity to participate in the http://blogs.aghost.org/2007/10/ross-allison-on-sci-fis-ghost-hunters.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SteveZ)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-4248239458423332663Mon, 01 Oct 2007 06:10:00 +00002007-10-01T21:09:50.688-07:00Today I posted the 40,000-th item on the AGHOST Media Archive! The official count is now at 40,274 photographs, videos, audio files and other documents archived on the AGHOSTOnline server. Since this was my pet project for the last year I am very pleased that it has been such an incredible success.About the Media ArchiveThe AGHOST Media Archive is a web-accessible archive containing all data http://blogs.aghost.org/2007/09/aghost-media-archive-40000-and-growing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SteveZ)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-9217798245840828932Wed, 19 Sep 2007 03:58:00 +00002007-09-18T21:26:51.595-07:00In August, 2007 AGHOST member Claire graciously donated to us the domain name AGHOST.org. This means you can now access our website via aghost.org, just as you would with aghost.us! Email works as well, so techdirector@aghost.org works just like techdirector@aghost.us, etc. I'm excited to have this new name, as I think AGHOST as a non-profit is more suited to a .org domain name.Since both http://blogs.aghost.org/2007/09/new-domain-aghostorg.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SteveZ)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-6718542454164596602Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:30:00 +00002007-08-27T22:29:46.649-07:00AGHOST would like to know your opinion!

In the past it has received media attention and been investigated by several paranormal groups, including AGHOST. During AGHOST's research of the building's history it came to light that some of the stories linked to the Harvard Exit have been portrayed and retold inaccurately.

There is quite a bit information about our organization on our website, but there are many interesting aspects to AGHOST that are not mentioned on the website or blog. So I thought I would write a bit about AGHOST (from my perspective) and what it's all about.First, The BasicsThe AGHOSThttp://blogs.aghost.org/2007/07/more-about-aghost.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SteveZ)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-5500284282892378819Thu, 03 May 2007 04:13:00 +00002007-05-02T21:37:32.000-07:00 Guest Article: Posted on behalf of AGHOST member Jody C. The question has come up a few times in past months whether or not sellers and/or realtors are required to tell potential home buyers that a property may be haunted. Going by what I have studied (I’m a fledgling realtor), I'd say no.Realtors should provide a potential buyer with an Abstract of Title, which summarizes all public records http://blogs.aghost.org/2007/05/we-are-living-in-material-world.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (AGHOST)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126938162890035429.post-3975463325160437028Sat, 10 Mar 2007 08:55:00 +00002007-04-12T21:26:27.089-07:00In recent years, many paranormal enthusiasts have adopted digital devices as their primary means to collect audio, video and still photographs. Digital cameras, in particular, have taken hold as the dominant format for the hobbyist photographer as well as the professional - despite their rocky start as pixel-mangling orb collectors.

But what about reports?

The project was somewhat of a branch of the Paranormal Weather Images project I worked on with Justin Faulk (GhostGadgets.com). The space weather archive includes two components; the archive (of course), and the software designed to provide easy access to the data.

These are often not trivial problems to work out, and has prevented many paranormal groups from sharing their data on a regular basis.
