In this episode of Small Town Tales, my guest, Josh Purvis revisits his experiences during an investigation of a haunted location in West Virginia steeped in history. The land itself includes history related to a hotel with a healing spring, a tuberculosis sanatorium, and a home for the elderly. The Searchers embark on a journey to experiment with the idea that the paranormal experiences people have maybe be generated by an energy they are exerting instead of the energy of the location.
This episode is better viewed on youtube. Josh shares various clips from the film, "The Searchers" and talks about the experiments they used with extra sensory deprivation and the experiences generated by these experiences. The question of what caused the paranormal activity is yet to be explained.
About Josh Purvis: Josh Purvis has been involved in the paranormal industry for 12 years. His first paranormal experience occurred at the Sorrell-Weed house in Savannah, Georgia. He and his wife were participating in a haunted tour and snapped several photos in the basement. On their drive home, they found an apparition of a woman in one of their pictures, and Josh was hooked. He has investigated locations all across the southeast, searching for ghosts, aliens, and even the elusive Bigfoot, in addition to having a strong background in filmmaking. Through his paranormal interests, he met Shane Pittman about 10 years ago, and the idea of Searchers began. The rest, as they say, is history.
