Happy Halloween. No joke.
People get spooked. When they do they call a paranormal investigator to help them get answers. Stowe's Karen Keene is the Assistant Director and Case Manager for Paranormal Investigators of New England.
In the first episode of the locals and visitors format of Wintry Mix I sit down with Karen to learn about her other local pursuits, which are many, as well as what it means to be a ghost hunter. If you want to take one of Karen's (or my wife's) indoor cycling classes check out Ride in Stowe.
