/in , , /by

News Director Brad Christman is leaving Radio PA after 24 and a half years with the network. Here’s another one of his favorite documentary projects, from the “Eerie Pennsylvania” series.

“Eerie Pennsylvania” was launched in 2004 as an annual Halloween-season program focusing on various aspects of the paranormal in Pennsylvania. After debuting in 2004 with an interview with Lorraine Warren (of “The Amityville Horror” and more recently “The Conjuring” fame), the series took on UFOs in 2005. Then in 2006, Brad met Mark Nesbitt, author of the Ghosts of Gettysburg books, and the Eerie Pennsylvania series jumped to a new level.

Here is the first of numerous documentaries in which Brad partnered with Mark Nesbitt: “Eerie Pennsylvania: The Ghosts of Gettysburg.” This program originally aired in October of 2006.
