Our Guest, Robert M Hunnicutt
A ghostly encounter 33 years ago in an Arizona theater was the beginning of Bob Hunnicutt’s journey into the world of the ghosts and hauntings. A theater ghost challenged his notions of the existence of life after death and helped him realize that science could not easily explain everything. Known hauntings in Tucson, Tombstone and Bisbee helped to fuel his curiosity and intensify his search for answers.
Over the last 19 years, Bob has investigated cases of phenomena associated with a wide variety of hauntings at private residences, businesses and historical landmarks throughout the state of Georgia, the Southeast and portions of the Mid-west. He has worked with renowned members of the paranormal community; exorcist Father Andrew Calder, demonologist John Zaffis, paranormal investigator Patrick Burns and Dianna Avena, ghost hunter Patti Starr, psychics Chip Coffey, Reese Christian and Sharon Johns.
