How about getting Charles Turek Robinson on the show? His classic book, "The New England Ghost Files" got many of us interested in ghosts to begin with. The last time I knew of him giving a presentation on the south coast was back in 97 or 98 at the Bell School in Westport. I didn't get a chance to see him then, but it would be cool to have him on.

I think its out of print, but if you can find it on amazon or at a book shop, pick it up! It's a great read, and you can get caught up on all of the local stories. He focuses a lot on Rehoboth.

Can always try looking online at Barns & Nobel or Borders. They do carry some hard to find and/or out of print books. :PCould even try Ebay - you never know>^o.o^<

The book was published in 1994. Barnes & Noble has this book in it's 'out of print' section. A bit pricey for a paperback though. Borders/Amazon.com also has this book. States an original price of about $15, but now that it's out of print, the prices range depending on the condition of the book. Still kind of pricey for a paperback.
Next step, I guess, would be to check out some local libraries. >^o.o^<

It migh be hard to get him on. I've tried to contact him before and he is a hard man to get a hold of. Anyone in that area can read articles almost weekly in the regular Rehoboth paper (I can't remember the name. People in Rehoboth and Seekonk get it for free, and they have them for sale in those little paper things in both towns. I tried to contact him through that paper and got no response.
New England Ghost Files is, in my opinion, the best book of ghost stories ever written. Most libraries in the area have a copy, Aneagleangel, or you can get it through inter-library loan.
I think its popularity has thrown him off a bit. As a anthropologist he is a very down to heart guy and in interviews he has said he thinks paranormal investigators are a bit weird.
