From the PISA site:

The Paranormal Investigators of Southern Arizona (P.I.S.A.) are a team of paranormal investigators aimed to assist anyone who may have paranormal activities in their residence or business. Our goal is to help our clients deal with the issues surrounded by living with a haunting, including educating about the paranormal and using certain techniques to ease the psychological impact of living with a ghost. P.I.S.A. blends scientific investigative procedures with a new age approach. We believe that the feelings and impressions that make up a haunting are just as important as the documented evidence from our professional equipment. For the person dealing with a haunting, on an everyday basis, all they have is their impression of their experiences . It is important for us to understand both aspects of the investigation, including these experiences. For this purpose, some of our members are “psychic sensitive” as well as trained to use our professional field equipment. P.I.S.A. investigates through skeptical eyes. We believe that many “paranormal” experience can be “debunked” through practical deduction. We also understand that if one does live in a haunted environment, it can cause anxiety and other psychological issues. In the event, that we find proof that a house or business is haunted, we make every effort to make sure that our clients are armed with knowledge and coping techniques.

Hatchet author Annette Holba, Ph.D. has a new book out titled Lizzie Borden Took an Axe, or Did She? A Rhetorical Inquiry. I am super excited by this publication! Here is what the amazon site has to say about the book:

We’ve heard the rhyme: Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks, When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one. But what do we really know about this infamous case of murder that occurred over one hundred years ago? Lizzie Borden Took an Axe, or Did She? is a collection of essays, written by a teacher-scholar (and a former Prosecutor’s Detective), that that explore various interesting questions that have virtually remained unexplained for over one hundred years. What was Lizzie Borden’s sexual orientation? Why did Lizzie Borden change her name after her public acquittal? What is the value of Edwin Porter’s The Fall River Tragedy then and now? What role did media and gender play in this public spectacle? What was the relationship between John Morse and Bridget Sullivan? These and other questions are explored through rhetorical, narrative, and common sense theories to help us critically engage this captivating case. Whether you are reading this book for a class or reading it for fun outside of an academic setting, this book was written to engage the story of Lizzie Andrew Borden from refreshing new perspectives.

This is not a joke. Today, while goofing around in Salem, MA, and having my photo taken at the new Elizabeth Montgomery statue at the corner of Washington and Essex Streets, I happened to saunter down a pedestrian shopping walkway. There, on the right, I saw her. Lizzie Borden! And here is what I saw.

I can’t wait to see what this is all about. But when does the summer start in New England? Inquiring minds need to know!

Wouldn’t it be great if something like this actually existed?
