Richard J. Kimmel, an author, is an avid collector of memorabilia from World War II, and he has been collecting pieces for several decades. A few years ago, Richard began to sense that some of the pieces in his collection had something mysterious attached to them and that some of the pieces in his World War II collection generated strange feelings. By using a pendulum as well as the assistance of several psychics, Richard investigated the strange feelings he was receiving further and he has figured out the locations and origins associated with World War II items. Using a practice known as psychometry, Richard has determined information about his collection and he shares his experiences with the pendulum, the psychics that have helped him, and the use of psychometry in WWII Ghosts: Artifacts Can Talk. The book is filled with detailed descriptions, myriad photographs, and his work which he identifies as “paranormal archeology.”Richard is a Korea era veteran and a former U.S. Army combat photographer who has been on Haunted Voices Radio, the Maury Povich Show and numerous other paranormal radio shows. He is a member of NJGO-New Jersey Ghost Organization and has participated in numerous, high profile investigations. Richard has more than sixty years of experience collecting wartime artifacts, and he has shared his research in various locations throughout the US via lectures, television, and radio. Tonight he will join us to discuss his new book: Ghosts of Central New Jersey.
