Persons
Jeff Morris and Michael Morris have been heavily involved with the paranormal field since 2005, when they started writing their first book, Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio. At around the same time, they started a ghost tour in Miamitown, Ohio, called Miamitown Ghost Tours, where patrons could experience the haunted history of this small town in Southwestern Ohio.
Jeff and Michael host an online paranormal radio show called Miamitown Ghost Talk, on which they speak with big names in the field and about ghosts in general. They also do a lot of paranormal investigation. While researching this book, they went to all of these places in an attempt to find the spirits who reside there. Beyond these trips, they are members of Cincinnati Paranormal, a paranormal investigation group.
Jeff has his degree in English from the haunted Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He lives in the Covedale suburb of Cincinnati with his wife and children. Michael has a degree in graphic design and lives in Miamitown with his wife and children.
