LGBT paranormal investigators are even subjected at times to insensitive remarks, name calling, or even inappropriate jokes. This is abundantly clear if you look at the Ryan Buell thread on my political blog where I was called any number of names by “paranormal fans” when I suggested that I actually did NOT care whether Ryan Buell was gay. In addition, the lengths that these people went to to assure me he was not gay were hilarious. In their mind being gay is an insult and a character flaw. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSo, it is not surprising that LGBT ghosts also get short shrift when it comes to investigation and even our folklore. This is where Ken’s excellent book comes in. Ken allows both the LGBT reader and the Straight Ally a glimpse at the hidden folklore of our community. With this work he brings our own stories of love, loss, and tragedy into the pantheon of mainstream folklore. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhile the straight community has their ghosts of TB, Cholera, or Yellow Fever epidemics, Ken reminds us of our ghosts of AIDS. The correlation cannot be lost on those of us written out of history and folklore for so very long. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBy collecting these stories, Ken has done a great deal to advance our own sense of self as a community with a history and a mythology; a community that sees itself reflected in those scary tales that we often recall around campfires or crisp Autumn nights. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe stories are all very readable and relatively short making the book excellent fare for quick reading or storytelling. I might be biased since Ken is a friend, but I honestly think this is an important step in understanding the role of folklore and mythology in a community and seeing how it is developing as that community is allowed to share its stories with the wider world. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYou can get a copy at \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590212398?ie\u003dUTF8\u0026amp;tag\u003dsouthtosouth-20\u0026amp;linkCode\u003das2\u0026amp;camp\u003d1789\u0026amp;creative\u003d390957\u0026amp;creativeASIN\u003d1590212398\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eAmazon.com\u003c/a\u003e and I urge you to pick this one up today. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cimg width\u003d'1' height\u003d'1' src\u003d'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2168219303449559049-482144821891116064?l\u003dbucksghosts.blogspot.com' alt\u003d'' /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://bucksghosts.blogspot.com/feeds/482144821891116064/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d2168219303449559049\u0026postID\u003d482144821891116064\u0026isPopup\u003dtrue","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2168219303449559049/posts/default/482144821891116064"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2168219303449559049/posts/default/482144821891116064"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://bucksghosts.blogspot.com/2009/10/thats-queer.html","title":"That’s Queer…"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Buck"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03195661861205323477"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$extendedProperty":{"xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","name":"OpenSocialUserId","value":"02653328012866227494"}}],"thr$total":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168219303449559049.post-3587338377332668972"},"published":{"$t":"2008-12-13T18:28:00.006-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-12-13T18:35:39.611-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"ghost stories"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Law Enforcement"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Supernatural"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Ghost Security"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cspan class\u003d\"zemanta-img\" style\u003d\"margin: 1em; float: left; display: block;\"\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ESP-hallway.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/ESP-hallway.jpg/202px-ESP-hallway.jpg\" alt\u003d\"A typical cell block row of Eastern State Peni...\" style\u003d\"border: medium none ; display: block;\" width\u003d\"202\" height\u003d\"134\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan class\u003d\"zemanta-img-attribution\"\u003eImage via \u003ca href\u003d\"http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ESP-hallway.jpg\"\u003eWikipedia\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"entry_body_text\"\u003e         \u003cp\u003eA burglar who broke into a house claims he was held captive by a \"supernatural figure\" for three days without food and water, officials said.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePolice official Abdul Marlik Hakim Johar told The Star newspaper the house's owners found the 36-year-old man fatigued and dehydrated when they returned from vacation Thursday.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHe says they called an ambulance to take him to a hospital.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe man told police that every time he tried to escape, a \"supernatural figure\" shoved him to the ground.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAbdul Marlik could not immediately be reached and other police officials declined to comment according to \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/\" title\u003d\"The Huffington Post\" rel\u003d\"homepage\" class\u003d\"zem_slink\"\u003ethe Huffington Post\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho needs ADT when you can use ghosts?

She is beautiful in her formal dress and he is resplendent in his tuxedo. As they drive away in his muscle car he suggests they stop off and have a few drinks from the bottle he brought along. She agrees and they begin drinking (insert local alcoholic beverage of choice). He becomes drunk and crashes the car into a tree/ditch/pole. They die in the car and soon some other students come along and see the completely mangled car. Nothing is recognizable, it's just a hunk of bloody metal. (Sometimes you get a nice graphic description of body parts on the ground.) Yet, from the wreck they can hear the stereo still blasting \u0026quot;Stairway to Heaven\u0026quot;!\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOK, who hasn't heard that one or some variant? It's pretty straightforward in its message: Don't drink and drive.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYet, such teen cautionary tales eventually work their way into ghost stories. After all, who also hasn't heard of the \u0026quot;Phantom Hitchhiker\u0026quot;? \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis story usually goes something like this: Someone is driving down a road and sees a woman/girl standing by the road. Sometimes she is dressed for a party, sometimes a wedding and occasionally she might be \u0026quot;bloody\u0026quot;. At any rate, the good Samaritan driver stops to give her a lift. She gets into the back seat (usually) and tells the driver her address. He takes her to the address but upon arriving he looks back to see she has vanished. He goes to the door of the house and knocks. The girls mother comes to the door and explains her daughter has been dead for many months/years and she died on her prom night/wedding day in a horrible car accident at the very spot the driver found her.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePhantom hitchhikers can be found in almost every state and even in most communities. It is so common that even Wikipedia has a section on the \u003ca target\u003d\"_blank\" href\u003d\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_Hitchhiker\"\u003eVanishing Hitchhiker\u003c/a\u003e legend.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBut, how do paranormal groups separate actual claims from Urban Legends? The obvious answer is to simply require the reporting person to have experience the event. But, many groups will go \u0026quot;investigate\u0026quot; a report based on its inclusion in popular books or even word of mouth. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOf course, many authors of folklore are very blunt that they write stories, they are not, generally reporting facts. Some are very thorough in their research. I'm lucky to count two of the best among my friends and colleagues. Their books are well researched and contain stories that are based on factual accounts and historical documentation (when possible). However, other writers don't do this extra work as they are more interested in the story telling aspects. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOnce these types of stories do make it into print they take on another level of validity in the popular culture. Because many people assume that a folklorist verifies the historical accuracy of an account they assume that the tale must be true in its entirety. Sometimes that would be impossible. \u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSo, when working in the paranormal field, its a good idea to have a grounding in folklore traditions and know the tales handed down not only from generation to generation but also carried with population shifts to other parts of the country or world. That knowledge will certainly help when trying to assign a level of veracity to a reported sighting.\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHappy Halloween season and hope you get to enjoy some great ghost stories, both factual and fanciful!\u003c/p\u003e  \u003cdiv style\u003d\"padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px\" id\u003d\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:ee861032-4347-4d03-a008-c8b24e6799f3\" class\u003d\"wlWriterSmartContent\"\u003eTechnorati Tags: \u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/phantom%20hitchhiker\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003ephantom hitchhiker\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/ghost%20stories\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003eghost stories\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/ghost%20hitchhiker\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003eghost hitchhiker\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/vanishing%20hitchhiker\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003evanishing hitchhiker\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/folklore\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003efolklore\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/urban%20legends\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003eurban legends\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/cautionary%20tales\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003ecautionary tales\u003c/a\u003e,\u003ca href\u003d\"http://technorati.com/tags/stairway%20to%20heaven\" rel\u003d\"tag\"\u003estairway to heaven\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e  \u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cimg width\u003d'1' height\u003d'1' src\u003d'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2168219303449559049-7863062626703362947?l\u003dbucksghosts.blogspot.com' alt\u003d'' /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://bucksghosts.blogspot.com/feeds/7863062626703362947/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d2168219303449559049\u0026postID\u003d7863062626703362947\u0026isPopup\u003dtrue","title":"1 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2168219303449559049/posts/default/7863062626703362947"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2168219303449559049/posts/default/7863062626703362947"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://bucksghosts.blogspot.com/2008/10/caution-ghosts-ahead.html","title":"Caution: Ghosts Ahead"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Buck"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03195661861205323477"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$extendedProperty":{"xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","name":"OpenSocialUserId","value":"02653328012866227494"}}],"thr$total":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","$t":"1"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168219303449559049.post-6512961944658749094"},"published":{"$t":"2008-09-28T09:10:00.001-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-09-28T11:30:45.615-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"ghost stories"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"He's Baaaaack!"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://lh3.ggpht.com/BuckBannister/SN-v4ORvfGI/AAAAAAAAC04/NrE5ZIubT5k/s1600-h/bundy%5B36%5D.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"border-right-width: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 5px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" border\u003d\"0\" alt\u003d\"bundy\" align\u003d\"right\" src\u003d\"http://lh6.ggpht.com/BuckBannister/SN-v4Usdp9I/AAAAAAAAC08/vtkMt_jCxgc/bundy_thumb%5B34%5D.jpg?imgmax\u003d800\" width\u003d\"215\" height\u003d\"244\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e Who?
