This is a video companion to the electronic serial by the same name. Our goal is to come at this "ghost business" from a fresh and more critical, but less serious, angle. "Leave science to the scientists" is our motto.

Name: Michael
Before real life ghost investigating became popular, ghost hunting used to be what happened after you and your friends got bored of playing Vampire the Masquerade and went to the local cemetery, afterwards discussing at White Castle how scared you had gotten. Now anyone who can afford to have their own t-shirts made is a professional investigator, hoping for their five minutes of fame on the local news.

The Legends and Lore of Illinois is an attempt to recapture the feeling of eating Cheetos and drinking Dr. Pepper in the parking lot of some cemetery, hoping mist appears on your pictures when you get them back from the 1-Hour Photo Center.

We have recently begun making monthly videos about some of the locations covered in our electronic serial, which, of course, is located at http://www.blackoakmedia.org/l egendsandlore.html

Each issue of our electronic serial contains a factual blurb about objects of folklore in Illinois, a story involving the continuing adventures of The Fallen, an elite team of paranormal investigators, personal experiences, games, trivia, as well as letters from you, the reader!
