PennStory Paranormal Haunted history meets genealogy. Uncovering Pennsylvania’s past—one ghost story at a time.

’m Kimberly Chaffee—genealogist, storyteller, and haunted history investigator. At PennStory Paranormal, I uncover the lives and afterlives of Pennsylvania’s past by combining deep historical research with real-life paranormal investigation. From archival documents to EVP recordings, each case I investigate is a journey into the stories history refuses to let rest.

Last night at the Blue House….
Alone in the Dark wrapped up their investigation just before 1am, and it was anything but quiet.

From a powerful Estes Method session, to multiple hits on the dead bell, to EVPs captured during the night, this investigation is one we’ll be talking about for a while.

If you’ve ever wondered what it's like to investigate a place where history still lingers, then now is your chance.

I’m so excited to welcome Alone In The Dark Paranormal to the Blue House today.

There is something special about sharing this space with other investigators who feel the pull of history the same way I do.

The stories here are waiting. Let’s see what speaks. 👻

Something exciting is happening this Saturday at the Blue House…

I’ve invited the team from Alone In The Dark Paranormal of Beaver, PA to conduct a paranormal investigation of the property.

Over the past several months I’ve been digging into the history of the house looking at records, ownership, and trying to better understand the story behind it.

Now we’re taking the next step and bringing in a team to see what they uncover on site.

This is part of a new PennStory Paranormal project where I’m combining historical research with real investigations here in Western Pennsylvania.

I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes moments and updates after the investigation.

Stay tuned… 👀

Alright… I promised an update 👀

I went back into the records to see what happened to the man who “disappeared.”

Here’s what I found…

He didn’t die (at least, not where you’d expect).
He does appear again… but not where his family was living.
And interestingly his name isn’t recorded quite the same way.

Which leaves a few real possibilities:

👉 He moved and started over somewhere else
👉 A clerical error hid him in plain sight
👉 He was intentionally “lost” in the records
👉 Or something happened that no one ever wrote down

This is the part of genealogy people don’t always talk about…

Not every story has a clean ending.
Some people don’t leave a trail, they leave fragments.

And sometimes, we’re left piecing together a life
that was never meant to be fully found.



💬 So now I’m curious…
What do YOU think really happened?

Happy Friday, friends…

Let’s play a little game.

A researcher (me 👀) came across a record this week that raised more questions than answers…

A man disappears from the census.
No death record.
No obituary.
No clear explanation.

Just… gone.

So here’s the question:

👉 What do YOU think happened?
• He moved and changed his name
• He died somewhere no one recorded
• Family scandal that was quietly buried
• Something… a little more mysterious

I’ll share what I uncovered later this weekend…

Because sometimes genealogy feels less like research
and more like solving a 200 year old mystery.

Happy Birthday Edgar!

https://www.facebook.com/share/17TPRQgAai/?mibextid=wwXIfr

On January 19, 1809, Edgar Allan Poe was born—the writer who turned obsession, loss, and darkness into timeless literature. From The Raven to The Tell-Tale Heart, his work continues to shape gothic horror, psychological fiction, and modern storytelling.

To honor his legacy, Edgar Allan Poets have released their new song Nevermore, a tribute built as a collage of titles from Poe’s works, woven into a single poetic statement.

If you want to memorize the titles of Poe’s works, learn the song by heart. Link in the comments.
