ABOUT ME

Neal Parks: Award Winning Author, Artist, Paranormal Researcher, Investigator, Screenwriter, Public Speaker and founder of Parks' Ghosts, and Parks Paranormal Research and Investigation. With over thirty years of first hand experience, 

My journey started with fascinating stories that my Grandmother would tell me about local and regional ghost legends, UFO sightings, Bigfoot sightings and various other unworldly encounters. Personal experience also played a major role in my wide-eyed wonder and reflection.

In September of 2007 my research was featured in the book “Ghosts from Coast to Coast – America’s best Ghost Investigators”. In September of 2008, I released my first book titled, “Paranormal Chronicles Tales of Humor, Horror and the absolutely Strange”. 

My first book, Paranormal Chronicles – Tales of Humor, Horror and the absolutely Strange was self-published by Lulu Press. An inspirational and Paranormal work and is a compilation of short stories, it was characterized by Andy Dominianni, a former news anchorman from FOX28 News as a, "Fun and Scary good time," while Yolanda Harris from FOX28 called it, "A frightening and inspirational book full of heart, scares and some laughs." A moderate commercial success, by December 2011, it has continued to sell well nationally and has made its way through the international markets. 

My second book, Haunted Chillicothe – True Ghost Stories, Tales, Legends and Folklore was another self-published effort by Lulu Publishing, released in 2010. It too is a collection of ghostly tales. However, it is completely a local effort sold directly in my hometown to help promote tourism in the area. 

I have also appeared as a guest speaker and presenter at the 2007 - 2018 Chilliicothe Ghost Walk, the Mid Ohio Paranormal Convention in 2010, the 2008, and 2013 - 2017 Mothman Festival, the 2016 C.R.E.E.P. Fest, and appears regularly at the Chillicothe Halloween Festival as well as speaking at schools, libraries and churches during the Halloween season. I’ve been featured in several articles, newsletters / newspapers, radio, television and documentary films. 

I have also been featured in two other books and a documentary due to my research and experience in the field of paranormal investigation. My third book, Haunted Holiday's - Tales of Inspiration, Terror and Reflection was picked up by SynergEbook in 2012 and went global. It won a literary award in 2014, and earned critical praise. 

My newest book and fifth release, "Haunted Enough? Terrifying Tales to Tell your Friends was released in Spring 2018. It's been hailed as "The scariest damn book Neal Parks has ever written!" Please feel free to contact me at parksparanormal@gmail.com
