Here's what some people are saying about Jeff Belanger's lectures:

"Jeff Belanger is one of the most entertaining and informative speakers on the paranormal. His impressive background as an author and journalist combined with his sense of humor and personality are the reasons we not only brought him to our first conference, but are bringing him back again. He offers a fantastic multimedia presentation and makes himself accessible and available to the audience throughout the event."
-Amy Bruni, Beyond Reality Events

"Not many speakers at this library have attracted a crowd like Jeff Belanger. Thank you! "Legends of the Supernatural" was our most successful program this year -- people showed up early, filled every seat, stayed late, and even asked to get their pictures taken with him. Jeff is a pleasure to work with and has a knack for joking with the audience. We were so pleased with the turn-out that we invited him back this Spring to present his "Weird Massachusetts" program. Jeff has a supernatural ability to pack the house!"
-Freyja Sanger, Reference Librarian, Tewksbury Public Library

“It was a true pleasure to have Jeff Belanger as our guest speaker at the Las Vegas Conference in October 2005. Jeff is a talented speaker who gets and holds audience attention. His warm and friendly manner mixed with a great sense of humor is refreshing as well as informative. Jeff’s knowledge of ghost sightings and the paranormal is impressive to say the least. This coupled with the fact that he is a published author on these subjects make him a valuable asset to any speaking engagement. I highly recommend Jeff Belanger to anyone seeking a professional speaker on the subject of the supernatural.”
-Robert Allen, Haunted Vegas Tours, Las Vegas, Nevada

“Jeff Belanger’s talk at the Bellingham Public Library was our most popular and well-attended program in years!”
-Charlotte Rabbitt, Director, Bellingham Public Library

“Jeff Belanger brings a lot of personality and knowledge to the field of paranormal research. Between his many books and his Web site, the well from which he draws his evidence is vast and deep. His lectures are always energetic, entertaining, and engaging, which is why we want him back at our conferences again and again.”
-Ron Kolek, Executive Director, The New England Ghost Project; Producer/Host, The Ghost Chronicles radio show

“It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Mr. Jeff Belanger. Jeff has been a wonderful contact and friend to our organization. For the past three years, Jeff has participated in our annual Paranormal Conference (ParaCon), and he will be participating again this year. Jeff’s presentations are interesting and informative, and our audience always reacts well to his presentations. Every year of our ParaCon we receive feedback from audience members who truly enjoyed Jeff’s presentations and are always eager to find out if he will be a presenter next year, or at our other events. Jeff’s presentations are fun, energetic, and always leave the audience happy. Furthermore, Jeff is a wonderful individual when it comes to answering questions. He always addresses each question and makes it a point to be sure the person understands the answer fully. Jeff is a truly talented presenter who always engages everyone in the audience. He is a wonderful choice as a speaker, which is why we continue to have him back at our ParaCon.”
-Jon Nowinski, Director, Smoking Gun Research Agency 

“Jeff Belanger is a very entertaining and well informed speaker on the topic of hauntings, supernatural phenomenon and dreams. His presentation to the Boston Dowsers was well received and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I highly recommend him!”
-Susan McNeill Spuhler, President, Greater Boston Chapter American Society of Dowsers

“The stereotypical ghost investigator is tweedy, moldy, set in his ways. Not Jeff Belanger. A natural-born story teller, he’s got his facts and his wits in a row… and undoubtedly has to fight off succubae on a regular basis.”
-Tamara Thorne, author of Haunted, the Sorority trilogy, and Thunder Road; lecturer; co-host Magick Mind Radio
