I’ve never been to any of Belanger’s presentations, but like most ghost hunters, his research skills aren’t the best. In one of his books, he claims Franklin Castle in Cleveland, Ohio, was built in the 1860s, when it was actually built in the late 1880s. Also, some of the deaths and other incidents in the Tiedemann family that he says occurred in the “castle” happened before the house was constructed.

They said the presentation itself wasn’t all that interesting, but they met some interesting people at the event.

I've read some of his Belanger's books. I looked up his biography and he says he has a degree in English, so his books are written better than those of most ghost hunters, but he just doesn't know how to tell a good story.

People can learn the basics of writing -- grammar, sentence structure and punctuation -- but a person has to be creative to be a good story teller and creativity is something you're born with.
