Linda Zimmermann

On April 15, Goshen High School students were paid a visit by Linda Zimmerman, author of the Ghost Investigator series, which chronicles her own experiences as a ghost investigator. Her visit was one of the many events in honor of National Library Week.

Zimmerman, a resident of Blooming Grove, became interested in ghost investigations while working as a historical lecturer. She began by simply interviewing people about their haunting experiences; however, her scientific curiosity, most likely a result of her experiences as a research chemist, led Zimmerman to begin conducting her own investigations.

"My goal is to obtain specific scientific research that you can match up with the history of the haunted place," Zimmermann said.

Zimmermann was featured on “America's Most Haunted Places” on the Travel Channel, “Creepy Canada” (Season Three) and has been a guest on numerous television and radio programs throughout the United States and Canada. In addition to the Goshen Investigator series, she is the author of The Dead Center, Ghosts of Hudson Valley and the Haunted Hudson Valley books on CD.

She talked to students about her spooky experiences investigating ghosts in old abandoned buildings, historical farm houses and even people’s living rooms.
