Jeff Dwyer, fascinated by ghost lore since boyhood, rekindled his interest in writing about paranormal phenomena after many years of clinical practice. His work involved close interaction with dying patients, their families, and hospital staff, many of whom claimed to witness paranormal events. Numerous experiences with ghosts in hospitals, cemeteries, and historic sites around the country have led Dwyer to author books based on his extensive research. He is the author of Ghost Hunter’s Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area, Ghost Hunter’s Guide to Los Angeles, and Ghost Hunter’s Guide to New Orleans, all published by Pelican.
