Jeff
Davis – Longer, Somewhat Boring Biography Jeff Davis was born in Vancouver, Washington and grew up in
the Army, so to speak. Jeff’s father was stationed at the Vancouver Barracks
and Jeff grew up playing in and around the Barracks. This led to his interest
in a military career. This competed
with his other interests, ghosts, mythology, and archaeology, which began when
he spent many evenings watching old horror movies, such as the original Mummy,
with Boris Karloff. Ghosts and
Critters Career Jeff was interested in the paranormal since childhood, but because of job and military commitments, was limited to short investigations and research projects. However, in the late 1990s, during a lull in work and military assignments, Jeff published his first book, Ghosts and Strange Critters of the Pacific Northwest. He wrote this book, and his later manuscripts with a focus on the historical context of hauntings, the who, what, where, and WHY a location might be haunted. Because of his anthropology background, and a natural suspicion of the government, Jeff was also interested in mysteries and conspiracy theories, strange animals, and forgotten facts. He included those in his books as well. Jeff has written, edited, or contributed to over a dozen
books on military history, and the paranormal.
Some of these books include, Weird Washington, Weird Oregon, A Haunted
Tour Guide to the Pacific Northwest, Ghosts, Critters and Sacred Place of
Washington and Oregon, Volumes 1 - III, and many others.
