This week on the show, Eric and Marie welcome Jeff and Denise Checker of the Demon Hunter Society and Pastor Frank Queen. We'll be discussing Ghosts, Hauntings and the Demonic along with some of the cases where Jeff, Denise and Frank have investigated in cases they believe were demonic in nature. Also joining us will be Shawn and Marianne Donley of Dark Shadow Ghost Tours and Panic'D for another edition of the Haunted Spotlight. About Jeff, Denise and the Demon Hunter Society: The Demon Hunter Society is: Jeff Checker, Director and Team lead. Jeff's wife Denise is Associate Team Lead. We also utilize the skills of our nephew Nathan Smith, and our friend Eric Huff, who are both Christian warriors as well. Jeff Checker has been a Christian all of his life. Jeff has studied Demonology, as well as the Bible for numerous years. He is currently working towards his Doctoral in Christian Counseling from The Institute of Christian Works. He and his wife Denise have both been given the gift of discernment of spirits from the Holy Spirit, enabling them to recognize the presence of demons. They have also been given the authority from God the Father to dispel such evil. The Word of God indicates such gifts will be given, especially in the end times, when Satan is seeking to devour us like a lion. The Demon Hunter Society uses both hardware and software used by secular "ghost hunting" teams (in order to be on a level plane with the secular community in regards to capturing evidence), coupled with spiritual gifts. We both can ascertain the presence of spirits, and then the team cleanses the home or persons of the residual effects. We only have the authority because of our faith in God and His Word. We alone cannot win the battle; we are mere vessels for Gods Work. Jeff and Denise have both had real-life experiences with fallen angels masquerading as "ghosts", and they are here to tell you "You show me a ghost, and I'll show you the devil!". (TM) Pastor Frank Queen is a ordained pastor who has served as a church leader and pastor at several churches across the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Currently he resides in upstate Michigan where he is the Pastor of a church. For more information on the Demon Hunter Society visit http://thedemonhuntersociety.webs.com.

Due to popular demand and our returning guest Serial Killer Month is extended one additional week as we wrap up the theme month with Kevin M. Sullivan. Marie Samuels is back fresh from Vacation and just in time to help me welcome back Best Selling True Crime Author Kevin M. Sullivan. Kevin's appearance a few weeks back was cut short due to a power outage caused by severe weather, however he's back this week to talk about his book "Vampire; The Richard Chase Murders." From The Bestselling Author Of THE BUNDY MURDERS Comes The Story Of ‘The Vampire of Sacramento’ VAMPIRE is the tale of a diabolical, homicidal madman running amok, mutilating and murdering the unsuspecting residents in the quiet neighborhoods of Sacramento, CA. His diabolical and unrelenting desires, not just to kill his victims but to drink their blood, unleashed a terror within the city unlike anything the residents had ever known. About the book: By the time Richard Trenton Chase graduated high school, everyone knew he was strange. But no one had any idea how bizarre he’d become, or what dark impulses were flowing through his troubled brain. The transformation from the outwardly strange young man to the diabolical killer he ultimately became, was gradual and would not become known until it was too late. First it was the killing of small animals and birds, and the drinking of their blood. However, when these sacrifices failed to satiate his needs, Richard Chase would seek out the highest form of life, and the city of Sacramento, California would react in horror to the hideous murders and mutilations committed by his hands. For those living in the quiet neighborhoods where the murders occurred, it was nothing less than a time of terror until the fiend was captured. VAMPIRE: The Richard Chase Murders is an in-depth look into the life and disturbed mind of a killer, his family, and his many victims, the living as well as the dead. Within these pages you’ll discover what it was like for the police, and what a difficult job they had finding a killer they knew wouldn’t stop until he was apprehended. It was a race against time, in a series of murders that would stun even the most hardened investigators. It is the story of a city under siege, held captive by the man whose appetite for blood could not be satiated. From the book: “On August 3, Richard Chase was sitting in the hot sun along a rocky area of Pyramid Lake, Nevada, some two hundred miles from Sacramento. He was completely naked and was covered in blood. He wasn’t in a hurry, just sitting there. Approximately one-half to three-quarters of a mile away (and across the lake) sat his Ford Ranchero. Inside the vehicle were two rifles, a .22 caliber and a Marlin .30-30 lever-action. Both weapons had blood on them, as did most of the inside of the vehicle. There was a white bucket, too, which contained blood and a liver.” From the Kevin M. Sullivan Writing the story of Richard Chase was both fascinating and appalling. Fascinating, because once the horrific murders began, it was literally a race against time for the police as they worked tirelessly to stop the slaughter, and appalling, due to the fiendish nature of the crimes being committed by this strange, and for a time, very elusive killer. Visiting the sites of these murders, and following closely the trail of Richard Chase in the spring of 2012 while conducting research for the book, gave me at least a “feel” for what it must have been like during that hellish period in Sacramento’s history.

Serial Killer month continues as Eric and Marie welcome Dr. Scott Bonn to the program this week discussing his research of notorious serial killers and his book "Why we love Serial Killers." Dr. Scott Bonn (“Doc Bonn”) is Professor of Criminology, media expert and analyst, public speaker and author. He is an expert on criminal behavior and the motivations of criminals. He offers insights into various types of crime, including white-collar, state crime, bullying, domestic violence, sexual assault and serial homicide. His expert commentary frequently appears in the popular news media. Doc Bonn is the author of “Mass Deception: Moral Panic and the U.S. War on Iraq,” a critically acclaimed book on war crime and terrorism from Rutgers University Press (2010). His latest book is on the public's fascination with serial killers in which he offers insights into the minds of infamous predators and explains how and why serial killers are often transformed into ghoulish popular culture celebrities by the media. Titled "Why We Love Serial Killers" the book is published by Skyhorse Press and released in October, 2014. Professor Bonn is not your average academic. He combines the knowledge and skills of an academic scholar with more than twenty years of senior-level corporate experience in advertising and news and entertainment media. As such, he has unique insights into the public’s attitudes and beliefs, how they are shaped, and the agenda-setting powers of political leaders and the news media. Doc Bonn has developed a unique, integrated, and interdisciplinary theory called “critical communication” to explain how state officials and the news media actually shape public opinion on complex issues such as homicide, capital punishment, drugs, abortion and terrorism. Doc Bonn received a doctorate in sociology (criminology) at the University of Miami, FL, and a masters degree in criminal justice administration at San Jose State University. He teaches courses in criminology, sociology of deviance, media and crime, and criminal justice. His primary research interests include white-collar crime, state crime, domestic violence, serial homicide and how the media influence society. Prior to his academic career, Bonn held high-ranking corporate positions such as Vice President at NBC Television Network, and Executive Vice President at SonicNet, a leading music website, now a part of MTV Networks. He resides in Manhattan, New York. To learn more about this weeks guest visit his website http://www.docbonn.com/
