Eric Freeman Sims

For Eric Freeman Sims, the paranormal isn’t just a casual interest; it’s a lifelong pursuit that began with a terrifying full-body apparition when he was just eight years old. What started as teenage midnight thrill-runs into local cemeteries evolved into a serious, decades-long investigation into regional folklore and cryptids. Eric’s deep respect for history and local legends breathes life into his writing, notably in his previous release Small Town Haunts and Legends of Tennessee.

His journey takes a deeply personal turn in his new book, Strange Chapters. Within its pages, Eric explores how the paranormal has always been an active presence around him and details how it completely changed the trajectory of his life. Pulling back the curtain on his career, the book features raw, personal stories from the many haunted locations he has personally investigated and researched. Eric brings that same passion to the airwaves every week on The Unseen Paranormal Podcast. Today, he literally lives his work as the co-proprietor of the legendary, haunted Knight House in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where the line between history and the supernatural is permanently blurred.
