Supernatural Detectives
While trying to fight off a nasty virus of some sort, I spent the better part of last weekend watching old episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. As I reacquainted myself with the original TV movies and some of my favorite episodes of the subsequent series, I began thinking of other famous supernatural investigators and created a brief presentation with the new presentation editor, Prezi (still in private beta). The resulting images and texts can be found here, and if you follow the path by clicking the “next” arrow, they will even display in chronological order. Enjoy . . .
Update:
For a project I’ve been working on, I’ve been compiling a list of occult detectives and have made it publicly available and editable. Please check it out and feel free to add to it!

Some wonderful modern writers in the Genre are C.J. Henderson,who writes authorized Kolchak stories, Justin Gustainis, who is starting a series set in (of all places) Scranton Pa….
This is an area where I collect books and stories eveer since I found Manly Wade Wellman’s “John Thunston” stories as a teenager.

Thanks for the tip, Mary! I have a couple of the Moonstone Kolchak anthologies, but I’ve never read any of Wellman’s Thunston stories (but I love the Silver John tales).
My friend, George Vanderburgh, posted a Jules de Grandin parody a little while ago that’s a lot of fun if you’re familiar with the originals:
