SHOW ORIGINALLY AIRED OCTOBER 18, 2022

Our guest today is Tim Maille. Tim has an amazing story to tell us today and I do not want to give too much away in this intro.

Tim is a paranormal investigator, has been on TV, Radio and in movies acting in a few of the Los Bastardz films made with his really good friend Scott Tepperman. Has had his own podcast, is a staple at paracons throughout the US and even Canada. Has so many good friends like last week’s guest Scotty Rorek and Keith Age (who is next week’s guest) – sorry shameless plug, but there are so many others I would take ten or so minutes just to name them.

He is one of the founders of Fox Cities Paranormal Team which was started back in 2008. He is an author having written two books we are going to talk about tonight “All Roads Lead To The Paranormal” and “The Endless Road” which picks right up where the other left off.

Tim is also the founder of Pawtographs For Pooches. This charitable organization has raised thousands of dollars for shelters across the United States.

He will talk to us about his amazing dog, which he got from a shelter, Murray and how this dog has changed his life. He will also talk about his other dogs he has had and his cat Bo as well.

There are some people you get a really good vibe being around…our guest tonight, Tim Maille is one of them. We are so honored to have him on our show this evening.
