My Ghost Story
11 December 2010
A while back I was contacted by the Biography Channel's hit TV Show "My Ghost Story" about having my family appear on the show. They had come across this blog and were intrigued. We were asked to give our accounts of the trips we had taken to the Crescent Hotel, showing evidence we had captured along with an on camera interview of Kimberly and I describing whatever paranormal experiences we had. After sending them the pics they requested we submitted a brief statement and audition tape.

All four of us were flown out to Hollywood leaving on Friday December 10th filming in studio Saturday and returning Sunday night. MGS sent us tickets and room reservations along with per diem for the weekend.

Saturday morning, at the hotel (a mile or so from the studio) we were picked up by a driving service and arrived at make-up about an hour before we were to go on. While sitting in the "green room" I could hear the previous interview finishing up and the producer speaking with them as they walked off the set. I recognized her voice immediately as Annie Wilder, an author whose book, House of Spirits and Whispers, I had read a few years back which had perked my interest in the paranormal originally. After hearing her on a couple of radio shows promoting her books, I had befriended her on Facebook and we had messaged each other a couple of times about her books, this blog and ghostly experiences. Conner and her struck up a Facebook friendship as well. It was quite a surprise meeting her there of all people. I found her one of the nicest individuals you would care to meet.
After meeting the producers we were ready to go on set for filming our segments. The MGS wanted to make our stories were 100% honest and our evidence 100% unedited (they were). I went first. I sat in a old wooden chair facing 3 or four camera filming from different angles.
The producer sat off camera and went through a list of prepared questions dealing with our story. We had to answer the questions in a way as to repeat the question since the only voices on the final TV show would be mine and Kim’s. My segment took an hour to shoot and Kim’s a little longer. After shooting we were driven back to the hotel and our time was our own for the rest of the weekend. MGS told us they would be in contact with us for an additional on-location shoot in Arkansas. We explored Hollywood Blvd. and checked out the Santa Monica pier. We all had a great time and were treated 1st class by the MGS staff the whole trip.
