Brad Feldman is desperate to come up with a novel idea for his failing television series, America’s Most Haunted Locations. When his friend reminds him about Doctor Louise Hilton and her groundbreaking research in parapsychology at Duke University during the 70’s, Brad thinks she may be just the person to breathe new life into his struggling project.
After reviewing her files on paranormal activity, Doctor Hilton invites a select group of people to join her and Brad at an old Victorian mansion in Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula, where they will film the pilot for the new series.
At first, Brad is delighted when unexpected happenings start to occur, but his joy soon turns to fear as things quickly spiral out of hand.
As a nor’easter heads their way, Doctor Hilton is worried that some of the participants may be concealing dark secrets…some of them deadly. It is soon apparent that not all horrors come from beyond the grave.

The Pilot

By: James R. Nelson

The author has created a paranormal group meeting for a TV show, at the haunted house of an old man needing money.

The cast of characters all have varied past experiences with "hauntings." They are being guided by a woman Doctor that teaches paranormal at Western Michigan University.

Once they arrive the fun begins. The story will keep the listener on the edge of their seat.


The narration was well done by, Leslie Starr O'Hara. The characters were entertaining with the voicing.

I will look for more from this author.

Very good read, gets your attention from page one and never let's go until the end. Very suspenseful and a little spooky at times. Highly recommend this book and author!

How the author keeps track of all these characters is amazing. Didn't expect the resulting ending but it all worked. A very good read!
