Jeff Maki, a 44-year-old Fitchburg native, is set to embark on a new paranormal investigation at the Pennhurst Asylum in Pennsylvania. This is just one of many locations he has chosen to explore as part of his Ghost Quest Solo. Maki has been involved in paranormal activity research for the past four years, and during this time, he has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. He initially started his investigations at the Winchendon Historical Society building, which was founded in 1930.
“Lots of dark stuff happened there,” Maki said of the former state-run mental and physical asylum that is now a haunted attraction with tours that explore tunnels and a morgue.
Maki’s journey began in his early 30s, when he started experiencing paranormal activity in his apartment. He would often see black shadow figures and had a number of other strange occurrences. This sparked his curiosity and led him to further investigate the paranormal. Early Investigations
Maki’s first paranormal investigation was at the Winchendon Historical Society building, which was founded in 1930. Although he reported that not much happened during the investigation, it still sparked his interest and desire to learn more.

Maki’s subsequent investigations took him to various locations across the country, including the Villisca Axe Murder House in Iowa and the USS Salem in Quincy. He has also spent the night at the Historic Lizzy Borden House in Fall River, investigating the site of the infamous 1892 double murder.

- The Historic Lizzy Borden House in Fall River (site of the 1892 unsolved double murder of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother)
- The USS Salem in Quincy (a former US Navy destroyer)
Maki’s experiences have been varied, ranging from intense paranormal activity to seemingly uneventful investigations.
Maki has reported encountering shadow figures, which he claims have been seen hanging from the ceiling and off the walls of his apartment. He has also experienced a number of intense paranormal encounters, including one at Yorktown Memorial Hospital in Texas.
“I was in an old jail cell in the basement, and I was hit with an enormous amount of energy,” Maki said of the Yorktown Memorial Hospital incident.
Maki’s experiences have also led him to question the nature of the universe and the existence of the paranormal. He believes that there is more to life and the world than what we can see and experience.
Maki has learned a great deal on his paranormal journey, including the importance of skepticism and open-mindedness.
- The paranormal field can be a topic of great interest and debate.
- It is essential to approach the paranormal with a critical and open-minded perspective.
- Paranormal experiences can be intense and profound, but they also require a healthy dose of skepticism.
Maki emphasizes that he is not here to prove anything to others, but rather to share his experiences and present evidence.
Maki’s future plans include continuing paranormal investigations and traveling to new locations in search of answers.

Maki’s primary goal is to have fun and enjoy the experience, while upholding high investigative standards and capturing as much evidence as possible.
Maki’s journey into the world of paranormal investigations has been a transformative one, filled with intense experiences and profound reflections. As he continues to explore the unknown, he encourages others to approach the paranormal with an open mind and a critical perspective. “I completely understand and respect that the paranormal field is a topic some don’t feel comfortable with,” Maki said.
