It’s Friday! That means tonight it’s an all new episode of Kindred Spirits on Travel Channel at 9/8c.! Make sure you check out our investigation of Sterling Hill Mine in New Jersey tonight! It’s a doozy.
Now, on to today’s question. I’ve answered this before in another blog, but thought I’d readdress it since we get it a lot!
Why are you doing larger/well-known locations?
When Adam and I created Kindred Spirits, our goal was to help families. Every investigation focused on a family who felt they were being haunted and they were desperate for answers.
As we started applying our thoughts and theories to these investigations (see my blog, “Why We Don’t Cross Things Over”), we began to realize that in addition to helping the living members of these families, the spirits seemed to want and need our assistance as well.
As the show began airing and gaining in popularity, more and more people from locations that weren’t residences began reaching out for help. Some of these places had been treated as novelties for quite some time and the owners were ready to treat their ghosts in a more humane way, to find out what they actually needed. It was time to stop looking at these spirits as something spooky that provided you with a scare and then you left, to actually finding out their stories, their names, their reasons for being where they are.
The other deciding factor was how many employees, volunteers and staff at these locations were having experiences that were actually hindering operations or scaring them. Or visitors having experiences that terrified them enough they either stayed away or it left them wondering what was really going on there.
So, we branched out. We feel like these entities in these larger spaces, as well as the living people trying to operate them, need our help too and it’s been extremely rewarding. Not only have we identified a number of potential spirits and found out why they linger, but we’ve also corrected SO much misinformation historically about some of these places, in addition to finding entirely new bits of history during our research. (Honestly, the research is my FAVORITE part.)
Our focus is and has always been, helping. The idea of someone’s loved one being trapped in an old infirmary, hospital, jail, etc fueled us to start taking those cases as well. Frankly, we’re incredibly glad we did. We also love our family cases and we’re glad to have a healthy mix of both each season for you.
Thanks so much for following along with these this week! I may do this again soon!
In the meantime, enjoy the show tonight! Make sure to tell your friends!

Love, love love the show!! We never miss an episode. Please continue the excellent work you and Adam are doing. I have started to do some ghost hunting on my own, mostly as a hobby. However , I am super fascinated by it and in large part because of you and Adam. Thanks again for the great show and all the paranormal work you do and how professional it’s done.

When Ghost Hunters first aired on TV, really looked up to all of you. Since had my own personal experience as a young child and still do as days went on. Looked forward to watching GH every week, because was learning and gaining more knowledge.. even meeting Jason Hawes and Steve Gonsalves, personally told them how thankful was for their show. And guidance all these years. Now Amy & Adam, because of you two…personally haven’t given up on this journey. Seeing you two help those find answers & have experiences, brings me to ghost hunt again. So thank you for beginning this Paranormal Circle. It means so much.
Absolutely love the show. You guys are great at what you do. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the new season. You Rock!
I love seeing a good mix of locations. I appreciate you and Adam extending your reach beyond residences. And you sure seem to do a wonderful job at researching and fixing misinformation! Knowing historical facts, even the smallest, is a big deal.
I see season 7 but already seen that series. Do you have a season 8?
Hi there,
my wife and I only recently came across your series by chance. We think that you are the only ones who do it really professionally. Your respect for the dead is what really sets you apart. Please keep it up. You are an asset to paranormal research. Many greetings from Austria – EU
I was surprised when you started doing larger, well-known spaces and very interested in how yours and Adam’s investigation methods would work in those spaces. I’ve loved you guys doing both.
