Kathleen (Kat) Tedsen and Beverlee (Bev) Rydel
Authors, Paranormal Researchers & Investigators

Prior to beginning TR Desktop Publishing in 1991, Kat (pictured right) had over 15 years' experience in writing, media production, training and management. She directed media programs for Fortune 500 clients, including General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Harley Davidson and Kelly Services.

Bev (pictured left) carries more than 20 years' experience in management, training and public speaking. During that period, she has served in a senior management capacity for major financial institutions in the area of Human Resources.

Since 1991, the experienced duo have managed and published the "Michigan Vacation Guide" book series. This book gained recognition by the State of Michigan and was placed on the Secretary of State's "Read Michigan" list in 1995.

THE HAUNTED TRAVELS BOOK with INTERACTIVE WEBSITE SERIES

Traveling the state, Kat and Bev have met many reputable people who have described paranormal experiences so powerful it made them true believers in ghosts and demons. These individuals recounted fascinating stories and identified locations they sincerely believe to be haunted. Are they simply fanciful imaginations, urban legends, folklore or fact? That is what motivated Kat and Bev to begin their new "Haunted Travels" book series. They wanted to go beyond the myth and legend to the truth behind reports of hauntings.

Since 2007, Kat and Bev have completed over 170 investigations. Their cases/stories include investigations into some of Michigan's greatest unsolved murders, disasters, criminals, and well-known people in American history. Investigations take them to historic restaurants, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other historic sites all with a strong reputation of paranormal activity.

Each investigation is approached with a skeptic's eye. When possible, they will use outside specialists to objectively look at and and assess suspect evidence. All in an effort to remove the myth and storytelling associated with ghosts and hauntings to find the real truth.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE HAUNTING ...
BUT THE HISTORY THAT CREATES THE HAUNTING.

For Kat and Bev, it's not just about the haunting but the history that creates the haunting. For each story, Kat and Bev will spend weeks and sometimes months conducting in depth research of each location. If paranormal evidence can be connected to actual historical events, it reinforces/validates the haunting.

EACH STORY IS WEB INTERACTIVE

Though their books stand on their own, to give the reader a full three-dimensional experience, each story is web interactive. In the password protected "Secret Room" of this web site (www.hauntedtravelsmi.com) the reader will have access to behind-the-scene photographs, hear audio and see video evidence collected and described in the story.

Kat and Bev started out as skeptics. What they have learned is that there is something out there that can't be explained. Some things that defy logical explanation ... something paranormal.

Read the Story ... See the Evidence ... Decide for Yourself!
