Don Allison Says what awaits us after death is mankind’s greatest unanswered question. Until his 50s Don didn’t pay much attention to death.  But after purchasing a historic house and having continual, intelligent contact with apparent spirits – and having similar encounters at the historic Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Don realized he had a calling to explore life beyond our earthly existence and to share his findings with the world. What awaits us after death is perhaps mankind’s greatest unanswered question, one more pressing as we age.  As it turns out, what follows our life on this earth isn’t a total mystery. The answers – at least some of them – are there if we pay attention. Exploring the paranormal enthralled this award-winning journalist, and he soon learned that paranormal simply means beyond normal explanation. As a long time publisher of history books, at 57, Don semi-retired as a daily newspaper editor to delve into this intriguing topic. His initial book on the topic is “I Met a Ghost at Gettysburg: A Journalist’s Journey Into the Paranormal,” and he is now working on a follow-up. Initially facing the fear of rejection and ridicule when he wrote about and began lecturing on the paranormal Don began to find most people are open to the idea of a form of life after death. Many people have had their own paranormal experiences, and since Don has explored this topic so deeply he’s helped others realize what happened to them is real, and they’re not crazy.

In this episode of Paranormal Underground Radio: In The Dark, we talk with Don Allison, author of I Met a Ghost at Gettysburg: A Journalist's Journey Into the Paranormal.​ Veteran award-winning daily newspaper editor Don Allison used to be a devout skeptic, even going so far as to doubt his own grandmother’s claims of experiences in a haunted house. But after encountering the unexplained many times, he reluctantly concluded he indeed had experienced the paranormal. Eventually, after what he described as a mind-blowing paranormal encounter at Gettysburg, PA, he could contain his curiosity no longer. He decided to write about his experiences, and to go a step further – to share the science behind what he had encountered. The result is the latest volume from Faded Banner Publications, I Met a Ghost at Gettysburg: A Journalist’s Journey into the Paranormal. Allison said fear of people’s reactions to a book on this topic made him think long and hard before tackling this project. “Once I decided to proceed with this book,” he explained, “I realized I could hold nothing back. I am treating the paranormal as I would any other topic. I am sharing my own experiences and what I have learned from research. I am passing on what other people have told me about the subject and in some cases their own perceptions of what I have experienced.” Air Date: January 12, 2017 Topic: Haunted House, Haunted Gettysburg, Paranormal Investigation, Paranormal Phenomena, Paranormal Research Guest: Don Allison Correspondent Segment: Maria Anna van Driel Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuck Gotski Producer: Cheryl Knight-Wilson
