Bucks County Resident Explores the Strange in The Spectrum
Here is a recent article I did for both Bucks Happening and Montco Happening…
Bucks County Resident Justin Bamforth Explores “The Highly Strange” in His New Book, The Spectrum
By Michelle Reese
Justin Bamforth’s book The Spectrum was released in August 2018.
Do ghosts, aliens and psychic phenomena all share a common source? Bucks County resident and author Justin Bamforth explores this question in his recently published book The Spectrum: Glimpses of the Paranormal and Encounters with the Strange. Doppelgangers, Men in Black, UFOs, spirits … Justin covers these topics and more through exclusive interviews, case studies and key testimony.
Unlike some books dealing with the paranormal, The Spectrum manages to engage readers’ curiosity without being TOO out there and hard to follow. It’s written with a conversational tone, so you feel as if you’re sitting with Justin himself. Yet, it has enough research behind it that you understand how Justin’s years of studying these topics have helped him develop this book – and how it has affected his life!
With Halloween just around the corner, it seemed like an appropriate time to talk to Justin about the book and these spooky topics.

The Effects of Living in a Haunted House
When I first began the Normal Paranormal website several years ago, I put the call out to see if anyone wanted to contribute articles to it. The response was almost nonexistent. Yet, there was one person out there who had taken an interest.
His name was “Lawrence Miller,” and he had lived in a haunted house.
Lawrence told me how it practically destroyed his life and negatively impacted his family. Although tragic, his account was also necessary because it put into perspective the reality of this that ghost hunters often forget.
The paranormal isn’t fun for everyone.

Early Testimony is Key in Paranormal Reporting
The ability of the human mind to recollect events can be a powerful tool. It is also an inevitably faulty tool. This is why it’s critical for the investigator of high strangeness to acquire and document eyewitness testimony early on. The witness (and even the investigator) can become easily influenced by internal and external forces that alter the initial observation over time.
An example of this can be found in the varied descriptions of the infamous Mothman of Point Pleasant, WV from 1966-67.

The Spectrum is now available!
My first book titled “The Spectrum: Glimpses of the Paranormal and Encounters with the Strange” is now available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your favorite local bookstore, like On Angels Wings.
In it are some of my own personal experiences as well as some familiar faces you may already know of along with their previously untold stories.
Whenever I do a lecture or speaking engagement, like this one in October, I’ll also have copies available. If you’d like me to be at your event, please feel free to send me a message.
I hope you enjoy the book!
