Steve accompanied Phelan Paranormal on a nighttime paranormal investigation of the SS American Victory merchant marine ship, which is now parked as a museum in Tampa Bay.

The paranormal world is nothing new to Tiffany Fitzpatrick, who identifies as a grey eclectic witch and psychic medium. Tiffany spent the weekend with us at Phantom History House and before she left I had a chance to talk to her about what she does and how she does it. I learned a lot about what it means to be a psychic medium as well as how tarot cards help her see what many of us cannot.

Preston Castle will always be the place that paranormal investigator Connie Brenner saw her first full-bodied apparition. Connie now runs paranormal tours of the historic “school of industry” and shared numerous stories of paranormal encounters that she, her team and her guests have experienced. In this interview you’ll see she makes a point of sharing that the spirits aren’t evil or malevolent, just depressed and irritated. 

The in-depth conversations about Preston Castle with Sybil Griffith and Connie Brenner produced way more content than I could fit into the Phantom History Podcast. Here are a couple of my favorite moments from those conversations, including Connie's experience with a full-bodied apparition and Sybil's unfortunate run-in with a bat in the ladies' room.
