ABGHS honors the life and work

of our friend and colleague Edward G. Dubil, Jr.  Ed passed away on November 23, 2006. You can see his obituary as published on www.Timesleader.com.
 

“Little Ed”, as we called him, was a great friend and fellow paranormal researcher. Many ABGHS members spent time with Eddie and his ghost hunting dog, Brutus, at BOOt Camp, on various investigations and on battlefield excursions. He was most often accompanied by his ghost hunting father, “Big Ed”. Together, they founded White Dog Ghost Chasers in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
 

A close friendship quickly grew between Little Ed and me. It was not long until Eddie and his father joined ABGHS, and Little Ed became the Director of the NE area for ABGHS. Ed’s love of history and his ability to dig deep into the history of a haunting or a battle was invaluable on numerous occasions. Eddie is the researcher’s researcher! And I am sure that he is doing his best now to learn as much as he can about the hereafter, and will be passing it on to us shortly!
 

The last investigation that Eddie, Brutus and Big Ed joined us for was an over-night stay at Fort Mifflin, PA. Garden State Paranormal Investigations (GSPI), the newest member of the ABGHS family, graciously invited us to join them at the fort. Little Ed and I sat in one of the guard houses located at the West Sally Gate, and quietly chatted. As was usual with us our conversation covered an array of topics. On this occasion Eddie again told me that it was not that he did not believe in ghosts, but that he simply had not had an experience, and would welcome such a moment. Well, “Little Ed” got his wish that night as he had a paranormal experience.
 

As Eddie, my brother John, Terry Tempalski – President of GSPI – and one of the team members from GSPI sat in Casement #5 a ball of light shot out of the wall to their right and made a turn towards the door of the casement. Later that night Big Ed, Little Ed, Brutus, a few members from GSPI, the Wolf Pack and I were investigating the Elizabeth Pratt room. On Big Ed’s camcorder you see Eddie move off to the right and then the apparition of a woman’s head, flowing hair and shoulders cross in front of the camera! I can not relate to you the excitement Eddie had when he called me after reviewing the footage for the first time. He was so excited and upbeat all I could do was put a big grin on and tell him how happy I was for him.
 

Two days before he passed away Eddie and I talked. He had some very exciting plans and wanted to get back to Fort Mifflin. Although his body has moved on Little Ed will always be hanging out on every investigation, on every battlefield and historic site I visit.
 

Vaya con Dios, my friend!
