Hans Holzer, R. I. P.

Hans Holzer, Ghost Hunter, Dies at 89 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com: "Hans Holzer, whose investigations into the paranormal took him to haunted houses all over the world, most notably the Long Island house that inspired “The Amityville Horror,” died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 89."

Let's hope he's not haunting that house in Amityville now.

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

I loved his books growing up: they're what me interested in science. When I watch any show on "ghost hunting", I find myself remembering his investigations and the thrill they gave me that there may be more to this life than what we see.

Today, I'm way more of a skeptic than I was back in my teen years, but I still love that little tingle when I read "true" ghost stories.

Now I wonder: will he return as a ghost?

I'd bet on it.

I'd bet that someone cashes in on the notion that he will.

Maybe he'll return as a ghost writer.

...Wil he meet Elvis? Or Casper?
