The paranormal community always pulls together when one of their own is in need. Just ask for prayers, they are the first to be there with blessings and prayers.
Christopher and Phillip Booth, are donating $10 from each "Children of the Grave II" DVD sold. The DVD will be autographed. This is a sequel so you might want to pick up the first film, "Children of the Grave." Two great paranormal documentaries that tell of the spirits of children and has some amazing video and EVPs.
I would like to challenge the TV shows, all of them, to donate to this fund. They can really use your help.
Many paranormal groups have hunted here and gotten great evidence. The community needs Ashmore for future hunts.
