Marlin Bressi, a 42-year-old Harrisburg resident, is the author of the book series Pennsylvania Oddities and its corresponding blog. He also hosts a bimonthly podcast that chronicles unsolved mysteries, local superstitions, ghost stories, and more.

According to Spotlight PA, Bressi’s interest in odd Pennsylvania history dates back to his childhood home, where strange events happened on a regular basis.

“I think what really started it for me was growing up in a house that was pretty haunted,” he said. 

He maintains Pennsylvania is the “spookiest state” and gathers his information from newspaper archives of town libraries.
