In this four-minute mini-podcast, Fiona Broome talks about this new podcast series. (Update: Fiona has since integrated this with her Hollow Hill podcasts.) She also speculates about the influence of EIFs (Experience Inducing Fields) on how we perceive normal and paranormal events.

In this 2-minute podcast, Fiona talks about the clothing we wear when ghost hunting.  If all-black is your default wardrobe, you may want to reconsider that for ghost investigations.

In the first of Fiona's new series of mini-podcasts, Fiona talks about Friday the 13th and why it might be a good day (or night) for ghost hunting.

In this 16-minute podcast, Fiona Broome talks about the waning popularity of ghost hunting, and why that might be a good thing.  However, on TV and off, people are going to extremes to try and maintain their corner of the market.  Parts of this field are imploding in a flurry of drama, catfights, mudslinging and flame wars.

Fiona plans to sit this dance out.  She'll be speaking at Dragon*Con 2010, but otherwise expects to keep a low profile -- and keep writing books -- through the end of 2010 and perhaps early 2011.

Also in this podcast, Fiona warns about the folly and liabilities of focusing more on ghost hunting tools than on the haunted environment around you.  She offers several tips, including ways to use your real-time communication devices (EVP, Puck, Ovilus, Frank's Box, Shack Hack, pendulum,etc.) to plan ahead for a ghost investigation.

Finally, Fiona recommends reading the beginning of Embraced by the Light, by Betty Eadie.  As one of the most detailed descriptions of a reported near-death experience, we can learn from what she describes.  If some ghosts go through the same steps, this may help us understand where they are and what they're dealing with, before they "cross over."
