Rockport, Texas - I’d like to take the time to say thank you to someone who has been a special friend of Our Strange World over the years.

Bobby Elgee is a writer and a top-notch paranormal investigator. Born in the Midwest, he moved to the Northeast, primarily for a change in scenery.

After moving into an old funeral home, he heard the sound of a little girl humming and experienced the occasional unexplainable smell of roast and potatoes. When the gas stove turned itself on several times, Bobby became concerned and joined one of the first ghost hunting team in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire.

Bobby eventually struck out on his own, and in 2008 co-founded Sights Unseen Paranormal, Bobby brings a background in cognitive psychology, research, and writing to the group.

One of the most knowledgeable people I’ve come across in the field of paranormal investigation, Bobby has written some outstanding articles on the subject:

• New Hampshire Gothic
• Intentional Manufacturing and Exaggerating of Evidence by Ghost Hunters
• Ouija Boards: Dangerous or Not?
• Hallucination or Apparition?
• I Used My EVP Machine!
• Intentional and Unintentional Manufacturing of Evidence in Paranormal Investigations
• Conscious Spirits: Paranormal Groups, Intelligent Hauntings, and Anthropormorphization

Bobby is a prolific writer and has just started a new website called Paranormal Fail.

After announcing we were considering shutting down this website, we received a staggering amount of email offering encouragement, and urging us to keep the site active. It was those emails, along with a thoughtful and much appreciated offer from Bobby, which convinced us to “keep fighting the good fight.”

I think it fitting to bestow a bit of recognition on a tireless and dedicated paranormal researcher - one who has over the years proven himself to be a true friend. Thanks Bobby. - Dean Terry
