Jeri Holland

Combining a lifelong love of American history with an avid interest in the paranormal, Jeri Holland has written several books exploring the convergence of local history and ghostly lore within her home state of Ohio.

Jeri strongly believes that the study of the paranormal naturally pairs with the study of local history. She has dedicated passion, time, knowledge, and immense effort to the pursuit of compiling and documenting the treasured past. Jeri has spent countless hours pouring over both her own family history, as well as studying important historical events that have defined her hometown of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Likewise, Jeri has spent many hours investigating things that “go bump in the night,” be it in dark woods, in two-hundred year old battlefields, or in run-down sanitariums and prisons.

Jeri Holland is Founder and Director of the Cuyahoga Valley Paranormal group. Over the last 25 years, Jeri has provided paranormal classes at the Quirk Cultural Center in Cuyahoga Falls. She has also worked hand in hand with the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad to help offer both historical and ghostly train adventures to the public. Additionally, she has spent decades sharing her paranormal investigative experience and her knowledge of local history by organizing community events such as tours, scavenger hunts, and hikes.

Most recently, Jeri has set her sights on the study of the local history, legend, and lore of Southeast Michigan. Her goal continues to be to impart the fact that the world is far more mysterious than what initially meets the eye. She also doesn’t mind the goosebumps readers receive from reading her books.
