Admittedly strange since childhood, Ken Summers grew up fascinated by the supernatural in Ohio and researched his first ghost story at 13. His first official investigation was conducted alone at midnight on Halloween in 1995. Throughout his teenage years, he researched and investigated dozens of locations within Cuyahoga Valley National Park and elsewhere in the state. Ken founded his own paranormal website/group, The Moonspenders, while serving as treasurer for the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Union (LGBU; now Pride!Kent) at Kent State University. After living for a brief time in Shreveport, Louisiana, shortly before Hurricane Katrina, Ken returned to northeast Ohio to write 'Queer Hauntings: True Tales of Gay & Lesbian Ghosts' (2009; the first published book on LGBTQ hauntings). After a brief stint living in San Diego, he once again returned to Ohio. He has flown to Paris on TWA Flight 800, drank at the Admiral Duncan in Soho months before it was bombed, and was born on the anniversary of Lincoln's death and the Titanic sinking. Ken considers himself 'a black sheep plagued by the black dog', battling clinical depression and questioning everything. Over the past 20 years, Ken has been interviewed for various print media, podcasts, and local television, lectured on various paranormal topics, assisted in historical research projects, conducted local ghost tours, and worked in with a variety of paranormal investigators. His writing has been featured on GenQ (Australia), Week in Weird/Planet Weird, and his former blog, 'Spooked!' (which helped inspire his book 'Queer Hauntings'). In his spare time, he dabbles in artistic endeavors, collects creepy things, hunts for abnormally bizarre ghost stories, and tries to avoid becoming a hermit. He currently resides in northeast Ohio where he continues to seek out the strangest cases of the paranormal.
