WELCOME TO THE...
N.E.PA.G.H.C.
(The Northeastern Pennsylvania ghost hunters club)
Hello and welcome to the northeastern pa's ghost hunters club web page. My name is Mike Marelli and I have been investigating the paranormal for about 3 years now. I have an ongrowing portfolio of pictures, sounds as well as video footage documenting the existence of ghosts in areas reputed to be haunted. This page is very new, and as time goes on, it will grow, and perhaps I will come into contact with people who have visited this web page on their journeys through the net and have them give me their input.
A little about us...
We are a non-profit organizations of ghost researchers and investigators out for
the strict documentation of the unknown. Although PA is rich in it's haunted
history <pa is the home of gettysburg, the most haunted areain america> there
arent many ghost clubs around the northeastern area. I have brought it upon
myself to start up one, and if anyone would like to join email me below and I
will respond. It might take awhile, but not that long, perhaps a day or to. as
muchg as I loe doing this, this is just a hobbie, a hobbie that I have made my
life, but, to do it, you need money, and with that, a job, so, I have my job
that comes first. but this is my life outside of work. so I will definately get
back in touch. right now the club consists of only a few people.
1. Mike Marelli- I started the club due to the lack of interst of ghosts in my
hometown, but most folks around here are very impervious to that fact that they
are living on very active ground <the poconos> I have acquired a lot of ghostly
anamolies in the surrounding area. I am also very proud to be a member of the
International Ghost Hunters Society and a member of the Inner Circle Society.
2. Michael Marelli Sr.- My father. Always a believer in ghosts, Had just
recently got into them with great interest after attending the gettysburg ghost
conference. Now he is My partner in exploring the paranormal.
3. Scott Pierce- This person has an extensive knowledge of movies. He has
written a few articles of Fangoria. I got him interested in the paranormal when
I started showing him pictures. Now he is very much into ghosts. I consider him
one of my most best friends.
4. Billy Titus- Billy is a co-worker of mine. thats how we met. I told him what
I do and he was very skeptical...that is until I brought him on a hunt. Now he
is a full believer, and a great person to go on a hunt with.
There are a few others out there but I wont publish their names here until I get
permission from them.
What 'nepaghc' <sounds like neepock> has to offer.
1. photos- pictures of ghosts and the unknown that I have taken. I will also
have posted here photos of ghosts that my friends have taken who I have met
recently too. and, if you have any ghost photos, and would like to send them to
me to check out, my email address will be below.
2. E.V.P.'s- a.k.a. Electronic Voice Phenomenon. although I really dont get
around to doing it too much. my friends have gotten some great e.v.p.'s
especially from when we all went to gettysburg.
3. ghost hunting help- Wanna conduct a ghost hunt? here, you will learn about
techniques for getting a ghost hunt underway. learn the propper etiquette and
investigating in an orderly fashion and experiencing how much fun it can be!!
4. Tools of the trade- you cant go on a ghost hunt without anything to try and
document it. this section will gie you information on tools, <expensie as well
as inexpensive> and you will just see how easy it really is to do a field
investigation.
5. A ghost hunting spreadsheet- here is a spreadsheet I have created for anyone
who comes to this page interested in ghost hunting, to print out and keep a
written document of events that take place during a field inestigation.
6. Ghostly encounters- A section about run ins with ghosts. accounts by myself
as well as friends and fellow collegues.
7. Links- A page for links to some great ghost sights. the collection wont be so
grand right now. but will grow in time.
Photos
This section will let you explore ghosts through the pictures I hae taken here.
mind you that all of these pictures were taken on very clear nights, and there
was no fog present. In due time, I'll add more to this part, I'll go more in
depth, but for now, here are the pics, dated and all. enjoy!
First Ghost hunt:January 31st '98
Second Ghost hunt:February 14th '98 <the best hunt ever to date>
Third Ghost hunt:February 27th '98
Fourth Ghost hunt:March 13th '98
Fifth Ghost hunt:March 16th '98
Following these ghost hunts, I stopped for sometime because I had only a 35mm
camera and the costs were getting very very expensive, I was paying more money
for film and developing and not getting any results. I would spend close to a
hundred dolars a hunt and get mediocre pics. thats why it is so important to get
more sophisticated technology. More about this will be explained in the Tools of
the Trade
These next pictures were taken with a more technological piece of equpiment. the
equipment was kind of expensive, but the money you save is ASTOUNDING!!! Digital
cameras are the wave of the future.

January 31st ghost hunt
This is the hunt that started it all. I was all reved up and ready to take on
the task of trying to get ghosts on film. I go to NJ and there, in Hackettstown,
is a small graveyard off of main street there, and all I had for the
investigation was a disposable one time use 35 mm camera and a big lunky tape
recorder <I did get some e.v.p. but the tape is now forever lost>. It wasn't too
difficult for me to be in the cemetery at night one, because I have been going
to them for sometime now, and 2 I had my cousin and her boyfriend to accompany
me. We went walking around, seperated, and started taking pictures, we followed
all standard protocals and procedures, we were having a lot fo fun. There was
this one section of the graveyard however where we were all picking up a strange
vibe from, not a bad vibe, but it seemed more like a sadness that transended
from another dimension and we were feelign it in our own. my cousin and her
boyfriend would not go over to the section, they started straying from it. Me on
the other hand, I went right up to it, and I knelt in front of the grave that
was in the secluded spot for a few minutes. I waited and then I decided to take
a picture. Now, when it comes to taking pictures fo ghosts, you usually dont see
anything until the film developes, well, here was the result of waiting for the
right picture...
From this cemetery, we departed after running out of film. Went back to where I
was staying to refresh and get ready for the next hunt, just a walk skip and a
jump down the way from the house...Old Union Stone Church
Old Union Stone Church
Was built in the late 1700's, around the same time america was born. I have been
familiar with the place all my life, but this night it seemed so much more to
me, I was gonna answer a question I have always pondered on about it 'is old
union haunted?' I had told a few people about what I was gonna be doing, and I
usually got the same response 'old union aint haunted, it's just very old'.
well, thats the key right there!!! The older the cemetery the better chances of
it being very haunted. well, we walked to the graveyard and l;et me tell you,
driving to a graveyard is one thing, but to just walk down a road and just have
the property slowly creep up and you know your going there...it's a massive
feeling. a feeling I have never felt before, nor can I explain. The Church is in
complete ruins, except for the 4 corners of the building, made of complete
stone, the spaces in between the 4 corners are fenced off, so no one can get
into the church itself, but, thats not all that great, becaise you can see the
inside of the church from the outside!! it's a dirt ground, with a pile of rocks
on the one side. A true sight to take in. It is very beautiful in it's
delapidated glory. We stayed for about an hour or so, and I was almost out of
film, I took a few more pics, and I got a wierd feeling from behind, as if
someone was standing there looking at me, I quickly turned around and thats when
I got the scare of my life!! A silly firetruck road signhad light hitting it a
certain way, sent my heart racing. I just started at it, and laughed, I looked
down at my camera, and seen that it had one last picture left to take. So, I
took it. Now I know why I had such a wierd feeling...there WAS something
there!!!!
February 14th Ghost Hunt
Ok, I would have to say, to this date, this is still one of the most best ghost
hunts I have ever went on, and it is an excellent way of showing that even
beginners can have great luck on a ghost hunt, as you will see below. It was on
February 14th 1998 and this hunt was conducted at wedding chapel church in East
Stroudsburg PA.
It was me and my best fried and the whole day I had been telling him that we
were gonna go to this graveyard to try and get ghosts on film. All I had was a 1
time use camera my tape recorder for e.v.p. It was between 9 and 10 p.m. right
in the middle of the full moon cycle. I never got anything on the e.v.p. but the
pictures are...well, see for yourself. Perhaps they were visiting their own
valentines? you decide...
E.V.P.'s
Otherwise known as 'Electronic Voice Phenomenon', is the study of ghost voices,
sounds, or any other kind of an audible response given off by spectral entities.
A wide variety of tools can be used, but that will be explained in the tools of
the trade section. Even though I havent done too much in E.V.P. I have a few
friends in New Jersey who have gotten some outstanding ghost sounds. They will
be posted here.
Tools of the Trade
In this section, we will discuss the propper tools to use during an
investigation. The equipment varies in usage...not to mention price. This is the
way we are able to document the exsistence of ghosts. You need more then your
eyes, you need...
*
The right equipment
*
A positive attitude
*
Peers to keep you company

and an open mind
Ghost Hunting Guidelines
So, you have gathered up enough courage to go out on a ghost hunt.
Congradulations, the first step is overcoming the fear of the unknown. That is
what makes people scared of ghosts, they dont know exactly what ghosts are, they
feel as if they are out to literally scare you. But no, thats not what ghosts
do. They are lost and confused...some of them, others want to stay, not leave,
and it is up to people like us to try and find out why some are here and why
others wont leave. This section will talk about steps to take in conducting a
paranormal investigation.
Ghost Research Spreadsheet
When going on a ghost hunt, you do such things as we have talked about prior in
the tools of the trade section. No matter how important it is, or how cool a
ghost photo or video you got was, you would probably want to document your work.
I have developed this spreadsheet to help you keep a log of your investigations.
It will cover bascially everything you would need to know about the
area...temperature, location, time, date, as well as a note section for you to
write down anything out of the ordinary that you have come across or that has
happened to you. You can then save up your documents and compare them to others
as you progress in your investigations. The spreadsheet below is for your
downloading pleasure. I hope it helps you out.
Ghostly Encounters
Ever see a ghost? Have you ever been alone, but felt as if someone was standing
there right behind you, just looking at you? do you get the shakes and/or
shivers when your in a room that is warm? Have you heard voices in the other
rooms but no one is there? If you have answered yes to any of them, then you
just might have had an encounter with a ghost. In this section, we have a few
stories about people who had run-ins with ghosts. The accounts are true for I
know the people who have told them to me. So read on, enjoy and yet, ponder the
question that involves our whole existence...'Do ghosts really exsist?' I hope
this page and the entire site has helped you with your lookout on a topic that
has been shunned for ages, laughed at in the face by non-believers, drenched in
hoaxes as to fake spirits. this page is dedicated to the well known existence of
ghosts. They are VERY real, and they are everywhere.

Listed below are links to other pages that deal in the paranormal. most of them
