Rob McConnell Interviews - DAVID J PITKIN - The Ghost Guy

Retired teacher David J. Pitkin has been intrigued by mysteries throughout his life. His personal search for meaning was stimulated by a bout with cancer in 1973. From that event onward, fascinated by the workings of the unconscious mind and on the growing evidence for consciousness surviving body death, he has written five books of researched ghost stories. He studied dream analysis with Dr. Montague Ullman, and believes that dreams of the deceased are often genuine "contact experiences." He lectures widely on parapsychology themes, including ghost stories and near-death experiences. His best collection of New England ghost stories is found in Ghosts of the Northeast (2002), which has sold over 25,000 copies and in his 2010 book, New England Ghosts. Pitkin has served as a professional numerologist and spiritual counselor, using his degree in Counseling Psychology (Goddard College, 1990) to analyze peoples' dreams, personalities and spiritual goals. His book, Spiritual Numerology: Caring for Number One, outlining his unique numerological analytical system, was published in 2000. Though he considers the phenomenon of ghosts to contain the very serious principles on which life begins and ends, he often regales audiences with the humorous that so often accompanies ghost experiences. Pitkin's motto is "Enlighten, Don't Frighten," as he stimulates readers and listeners to ponder the profound issues surrounding death-and life, an unquenchable life that continues on into eternity. He frequently appears on radio and television, addressing issues of the strange phenomena and the unseen world around us. In 2006 Pitkin completed Adirondack Journey, Glens Falls TV-8's series on haunts in the Adirondacks. His updated Saratoga County book, Haunted Saratoga County, was published in 2005, and has become another local best seller. He published New York State Ghosts, Volume 1 in 2006, and Volume 2 in October, 2008, and is currently preparing a third volume in that series. He has found that more people than one would suspect are interested in their life's ending and want it to be a happy one, and he offers suggestions on how to achieve that. His first novel, The Highest Mountain: Death & Life in the Adirondacks, was published in June 2007, and Pitkin is currently working on a sequel, The Explorer: An Adirondack Search, due out in 2014. In March 2009 he released his first album of narrated ghost stories with an Adirondack theme: Adirondack Ghost Stories, Volume One. - www.afterworld.infoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.
