Today we had a chance to sit down with Bonnie Spittler, of Ghostly Talk and as a few questions about her involvement in Ghostly Talk as well as the movie American Ghost Watchers. Enjoy!

How Did you become involved with Ghostly Talk?

Well I’ve been friends with Doug and Scott for years. I was always around to support them in any way. When Will left the show, Scott asked me to handle the field reporter section of the show. After that you were treated to my lovely voice every week. LOL

What is your favorite Paranormal Book?

I don’t know that I have a favorite book. I’ve read many of them and I would suggest a few authors. Troy Taylor, Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Mark Nesbitt. Just to name a few.

When did your interest in the paranormal start?

When I was a teenager I had an unexplainable experience. That led me to check out books on the paranormal and anything else I could get my hands on.

You recently starred in American Ghost Watchers what was that like?

It was an absolute riot. First of all, the character I played is nothing like me. Except for the fact that she’s bitchy. Tonya and Andy wrote a hilarious script and they were fun people to work with. Plus we were able to make a movie with a lot of our friends. How can you not enjoy that?

What do you think of Dr. Dawn–can you see real life people in her?

Dr. Dawn is crazy. She’s the money hungry gal. She’ll do anything for the all mighty dollar and doesn’t care who she has to step on to get it! This is the sad part, the characters in American Ghost Watchers are so extreme that you would think that I wouldn’t be able to put real people to the characters. Yet I found myself saying time and time again, “Oh my God, this is just like (Insert name here)!”

Have you had any personal Paranormal experiences?

I’ve had a few. The one when I was a teenager. I was very close to my best friend and her family. Her Grandpa died and I happened to be in the house when it happened. I walked into the room that he had been staying in and someone grabbed me and it felt like they hugged me. No one was in the room other than me.

Just in case for some reason, I, Devyn, am thrown in jail. I am going to confess I practice the religion of Myspace, In which I need my laptop, internet and a cell phone at all times. Mr. Polk, practices Asatru… In which he will worship gods Ordin, Thor & Heimdal.

To worship these gods properly he will need a hammer to represent Thor’s, A Mead Horn to drink Wassail and a Sword–HOWEVER, He is willing to accept a cardboard sword instead! (Read Story…)

This week for the Monday Six, I have the chance to sit down with the famous Doug of Ghostly Talk. You can listen to Ghostly Talk on Sunday nights from 6pm to 9pm EST!

1) I am sure you have many, but what is one of your favorite guests?

I have enjoyed every guest, but Bill Knell really knocked my socks off. I contacted him because he was writing articles for paranormalnews.com about Montauk and the Philadelphia Experiment. I was fascinated and asked him on the show. I don’t know what I expected, but I can say that Mr. Knell raised the bar that night.

2) When did you become interested in the paranormal?

As long as I can remember, paranormal things were woven into my life. I grew up in the heyday of Jane Roberts, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and Uri Geller. Back in that day and age, single family incomes were the norm and the neighborhood moms would have coffee and occasionally talk about what they’d seen, read, and heard about the paranormal. I picked up on it and have been hooked ever since.

3) What is the best part of being part of Ghostly Talk?

I’m a people person. The show allows me to talk not only to guests, but to ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts rather easily. Oftentimes, I get to skip the awkward introduction part of meeting people. The drawback to that, though, is when someone thinks I know them because they got to know me from listening to Ghostly Talk. But I roll with it because I find something fascinating in pretty much everyone I meet.

4) What is your favorite paranormal book?

Now, now. You know I know many authors of pararnormal books. Each is deserving of praise and recognition. Look at all the time, research, and love that goes into authoring a book. I cannot pick a favorite, per se, but I will take this opportunity to mention one particular book that I enjoyed very much. You see, I knew nothing of the author and little of the topic, so Rosemarie Pilkington’s The Spirit Of Dr. Bindelof came as quite a pleasant surprise. After talking to her on the show, I knew I was hooked on the topic. I bought the book within the next week and enjoyed it.

5) Say for some unforeseen reason Ghostly Talk ends, do you see yourself doing anything more in the paranormal world?

Of course Ghostly Talk will end some day. Hopefully that day is a ways off. Even though the show will end, my interest in the paranormal will not. Nor will the friendships I’ve formed. Nor will my passion for meeting, talking to, and enjoying other paranormal enthusiasts. In 2007, I went to The Southern Wisconsin Paranormal Conference not as a co-host of Ghostly Talk, but as myself. I’ll do that kind of thing post-GT.

6) Whats the ‘coolest’ thing that has happened to you because of Ghostly Talk?

I wish I could say, “met my soul mate,” like Scott L undoubtedly would say. But I cannot. I can say I formed two of the best, deepest, and most rewarding friendships because of Ghostly Talk. I’m talking about Scott L as one of them and Shaun Burris as the other. (I met Bonnie through ghost hunting, not as a result of or a precursor to the show…but if I don’t mention her in this list, I’ll become what ghost hunters are looking for sooner rather than later.) So the ‘coolest’ thing is the people it has brought into my life–including many people I cannot list in a paragraph.

TGIF! And welcome to Freaky Friday, in which I will bring you some FrEaKy news! This week is not so much freaky, just odd and sad all at the same time–In the long run I guess it is better to have the mans addiction rather then be addicted to drugs…! :p

A 57 year old man sold 500 boxes worth of p0rn to The Museum of Sex in New York. Being a retired curator, the man found enjoyment in indexing the movies, or so he says…. (Read Story..)
