The April edition of the "Haunted Happenings Newsletter & Podcast is here. This month I explore the eerie world of Military Hauntings.
Soldiers stationed on military bases know of the tales of ghosts haunting barracks, hangars, and airfields. Ghosts of soldiers killed in battle have even been known to haunt airplanes and tanks. There are stories of soldiers hearing strange voices coming from abandoned aircraft hangars, or of seeing misty figures gliding across airstrips. The same goes for tourists who visit famous battlefields where thousands of men lost their lives in bloody battles. Join me as I explore the eerie world of military hauntings.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaming up with The Dark Sire literary magazine for an exciting new monthly “Reality Meets Fiction” feature in the magazine’s official blog, The Dark Forest.
The Dark Sire is a quarterly online and paperback magazine that prints short fiction, poetry, and art in the subgenres of gothic, horror, fantasy, and psychological realism. Fact really is stranger than fiction, especially in the world of a paranormal investigator. I’ve investigated hundreds of sightings of ethereal ghosts, mysterious doppelgängers, inky black shadow people, unspeakably horrific looking demons, and cryptids of all shapes and sizes. In the hands of a skilled writer, any one of these topics can be the inspiration for a truly terrifying horror-fiction story. Author Maureen Amaturo’s interview with me about the project will run in The Dark Forest blog on April 19, followed by my first article, “Shadow People”, on April 23.

New EVP!The following clip was submitted by a reader who heard the voices deceased loved ones coming through her car radio. The radio was not playing at the time, and the woman quickly grabbed her iPhone and recorded the strange voices. The clip below is the full recording. Those that follow are isolated from the full clip. These are also featured on my new podcast "Phone Calls From the Dead".
The following clip was recorded in January of 2021 at a home in Westchester County, New York. Two different family members saw two different doppelgängers in the home! Opinions differer as to what the voice is saying, but it sounds as if someone is having an argument with someone. Many believe the spirit is using the 'F-word". If you think you know what it's saying, write me via the Contact link.
This next clip was recorded at the same house in Westchester. Right before I say that I'm picking up the name Casey, a voice seems to whisper ,"Great house".
The following was recorded at an historic house in Hudson, New York. The 1868 home was once a brothel. In this clip, you'll hear me ask, "Who is the president of the United States?" A female voice can be heard answering my question. Some think she is saying 'Lincoln', others are hearing 'Cleveland'. The house isn't old enough for Lincoln to have been president, but Grover Cleveland was president from 1885-89, and 1893-97. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
The new issue of the Haunted Happenings newsletter and podcast are here! This month I explore the paranormal phenomenon "Phone Calls from the Dead". There have been thousands of reports of people receiving phone calls from their deceased loved ones. Hear their amazing stories, and listen to an actual recording of electronic communication from the great beyond.

Welcome to Connecticut Ghost Hunter. My name is Barry Pirro. I have been studying and investigating the paranormal for more than fifteen years. I run paranormal investigations, give lectures on a variety of paranormal topics, and I have been interviewed by several radio programs. The producers of the paranormal TV shows Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Survivor, Ghost Nation, and Kindred Spirits have expressed an interest in airing some of my case files.
I provide professional, private investigations to anyone who is experiencing paranormal activity in their home or workplace. This includes, but is not limited to, reports of hauntings, poltergeists, residual energy, and other forms of supernatural phenomena.
My goal as a paranormal investigator (aka "Ghost Hunter") is to help clients understand the phenomenon, to share evidence that either supports or disputes claims of paranormal activity, and to try to help remedy the situation. I am very sensitive to paranormal activity and rely not only on scientific instruments, but on my inner intuition to pinpoint areas of activity. If your house is haunted ... I will know it.
My paranormal investigations run the gamut from ghostly sightings to spirits who make themselves known in terrifying ways. On my Case Files and True Ghost Stories pages you will read about:
