CHAPTER SUMMARIES
CHAPTER 1 - THE CURSE OF THE VELVET ROOM – NYC

INTRODUCTION - OCCULT INVESTIGATOR
Van Helsing, Blade and Buffy battled vampires, Derek Rayne, the mysterious leader of the old TV series, Poltergeist The Legacy, fought fallen angels, and Father Karras exorcised the Devil himself. So, I suppose it was life imitating art when I approached a licensed New York detective agency to create a special division to investigate occult and paranormal cases. I felt it was time for a hardnosed approach aiding the victims of paranormal bad guys. After all I argued, the world is enamored with the strange and the bizarre and more importantly many are literally “haunted” by curses and the unseen. Shouldn’t there be an organization like t he X-Files where people could turn to for problems others would think are bizarre? On a general level, society just can’t be amazed or frightened enough by the world of the occult. Some of pop culture’s most successful books focus on the afterlife and how we can communicate with the dead. There’s a never-ending fascination with ghosts, haunted houses, witches, devil worship, voodoo and every manner of monster. So shouldn’t there be a real-life agency dedicated exploring, investigating and if need be kicking the ass of a few malevolent demons?
But paranormal investigators, channelers, mediums, would-be ghostbusters, even professional exorcists are a dime a dozen filling the pages of every New Age journal and web site known. They all claim that they could solve any occult problem that comes along. And many are well versed in the occult world – scholars in their own right who are experts in every field of the dark arts. Many “ghosthunters” are enamored with technical gadgets and spy equipment and will record every bump in the night. But the legion of authors, societies, organizations etc. lacked one important aspect – real world investigative smarts. Metropolitan police departments always have their token “occult expert” but they’re usually concerned with murders and heinous acts that the cops can’t pin on anyone or anything tangible. And religious organizations will only deal with the devil – and then only after thousands of hours of testimony and dare I say it – proper tithing? There are no civil service manuals or tests that one takes to become an investigator despite the myriad “paranormal investigation” study courses, societies, schools and organizations. Even the few universities that actually have programs like Duke University’s Rhine Research Center, are much more concerned with true scientific PSI research and collecting tons of data than expOccult Investigatorng spooks, demons or curses.
So I concluded that people who really needed help – normal people – would only turn to an organization dedicated to investigating strange events – if it could first prove there wasn’t any earthly fraud or bilking going on before they went after any “other worldly” troublemakers. The new breed of investigator needed to have bonafide occult credentials and a network in place to first cut through and uncover any dubious obstacles so it could then concentrate on what truly could not be explained.
