Randell S. Van Alst, Author

My name is Randell S. Van Alst, and I am a “spirit” investigator. I research ghosts and hauntings, spiritual journeys, NDE’s, (near death experiences,) as well as provide spiritual counseling for those who have lost loved ones. My experiences have led me to aid and teach others to prepare for what is inevitable to all of us. “Death.”

My first book, “Ghosts in Reality, the unexplained truth about hauntings in our world today,” goes into detail about our own “personal” spirit, as well as, “why” ghosts haunt the living. This book is based on over 250 on-site investigations, and over 10 years of intense research, as well as a “lifetime” of ghostly encounters. Subjects covered in the book: ghosts in general / understanding death / the human spiritthe Wild West and its “haunted” past / 50 most haunted sites in America / what to do if your house is haunted / science vs. spirit / other events of the unexplained / “future” hauntings, and so much more.

My new release, “Investigating Haunted New Mexico,” covers numerous sites on New Mexico soil, reputed to be haunted.Subjects covered in the book: New Mexico’s violent history / Most haunted places / Ghost towns / New Mexico’s ghost hunters / How and where to conduct a “ghost” investigation / New Mexico’s favorite ghost stories / much, much moreI am also the founder of VSI, Van Alst Spirit Investigations, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
