After more than 25 years with The Haunted Walk, Margo MacDonald has heard countless ghost stories, explored haunted places, and experienced things she still can't explain. Yet all that time spent exploring the paranormal has left her with more questions, and an even greater sense of wonder.

In her new book, A Curious Presence: An Exploration of Ghosts and the People Who Haunt Them, Margo travels across Canada and the UK to investigate hauntings and meet some of the paranormal world's most intriguing thinkers. She even challenges herself to spend a night alone in one of England's most notoriously haunted inns, where a series of puzzling responses only begin to make sense months later.

Margo returns to Haunted Talks to take us behind the scenes of writing her book and share how the journey challenged her long-held assumptions about ghosts. It's an exploration of how we investigate the paranormal, the role we might play in the mysteries we encounter, and why some experiences can be meaningful even when we can't explain them.
