Interview with Ghost Hunter's International Scott Tepperman on "Chasing Winter"

I had the honor of interviewing Scott Tepperman regarding his haunting new book: "Chasing Winter" ~ Journal Poems From Across the Globe. He joined me via Skype proudly wearing his "New England Patriot's" Jersey.

A native of Queens, N.Y., Tepperman first became involved with the paranormal after visiting the original "Amityville Horror" house in Long Island. Intrigued with the case at a very young age, he immersed himself in all aspects of the supernatural and has since become a die-hard horror movie enthusiast.

After four years of being lead investigator for a local amateur ghost team, Tepperman formed the Association for Locating Paranormal and Haunted Activity (ALPHA), a professional paranormal research organization based out of North Florida. He is also the co-creator and co-host of the hugely successful online radio show, Dead Serious .

Tepperman joined the cast of Ghost Hunters International in 2010 after being discovered in an open call for applicants. His passion for the field, his chemistry with other cast members and his experience in Paranormal Investigating won him the position of Investigator.

"Chasing Winter" is a powerfully written, lucid journal capturing the excitement, dangers, and sometimes harsh realities of being a real life ghost hunter and world traveler. As a new crew member of Ghost Hunters International, Tepperman takes us with him on each step of his amazing journey as he discovers new cultures, inspiring societies, and a new perception on the world and the United States.

*********************************************************************************

“Honduras and Nicaragua was perhaps one of the most unforgettable trips to me. People were truly living in squalor. One particular instance has forever etched itself into my memory: the sight of a naked, dirty toddler crawling out from a large pile of refuse wandering up to the curb of a busy road. No one seemed to notice. No one seemed to care...”

HOMELESS



Curled up tightly on the side of the road,

Blanketed by yesterday's discarded refuse

A bent, ripped, stained cardboard blanket

Envelops the soul of a used up man

Weathered not by the outside elements,

But of the days themselves

As passerby fails to notice their own lives minus the

misfortune.

Beneath their own reality there exists a deeper truth:

One of plain & simple survival

And yet no one reaches out

to help one of their own

Lying still on the ground in the corner

So very much like garbage

pushed aside by time

~ Scott Brandon Tepperman
