Ghost Investigator/Author Linda Zimmerman

 Earning a B.S. in Chemistry and a Master’s in English Literature made it obvious early on that Linda Zimmerman had wide ranging interests. After working as a research scientist throughout the 1980s, she decided to pursue her real passion—writing. Today, Linda is the author of 14 books, is a popular speaker, and has made numerous appearances on television and radio. She has received honors and awards for her books on American history, and has lectured at the Smithsonian, West Point and Gettysburg. Astronomy and the space program are also favorite topics for her books, articles and lectures. In addition, Linda has appeared at major science fiction conventions for her two novels. So, with all these varied achievements, how on earth did she ever start writing about ghosts? Several years ago, Linda was giving a series of history lectures for the bicentennial of Rockland County, in southern New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley. One evening, someone asked about local ghosts and legends, so Linda told the one ghost story she knew. A few days later, she received a call. The excited voice on the other end of the line said, "I hear you give ghost talks!" Linda then added a few more ghost stories to her lectures, word spread, and by the end of the series, more people were showing up to hear about the ghosts than the history. Please welcome Linda Zimmerman from upstate New York with a few creepy tales of ghost investigations.  www.ghostinvestigator.com
