This week's featured site (although a little late!) is a stunning website - both design-wise and due to the beautiful artwork that artist and webmaster Karissa Harvey has created.

Karissa Harvey presents her solo artwork as well as her CV and a way to contact her right on her site. Her collection of work, "Sunbathers," is not only well crafted but has an interesting backstory about how she reimagined photographs that her grandfather took of sunbathers into large-scale full-color portraits. 

Take a look at Karissa's site and flip through the paintings and read the whole story about the sunbathers. Also, keep checking in because if we're lucky, maybe she'll add more artwork soon!

To get into the Halloween spirit, today's featured site is all about ghosts and the paranormal - awesome! Wachusett Paranormal Group was created by Certified Paranormal Investigator, Shelly Moore Caron, and her husband, Investigator In-training, Dave Caron. The Carons and team will investigate your house or business if you believe any paranormal activity is afoot.

The WPRG website introduces you to the team and will soon be posting evidence from their investigations! You can even read their interview that was in the Sentinel & Enterprise newspaper which covers why they got into the paranormal, how 90% of all claims can be debunked with scientific evidence, and even how claims increase in the fall and winter because it's darker and people are spending more time inside of their houses. 

Check out WPRG for yourself at WachusettParanormal.com - if you're in the area, you can request for them to investigate a haunted happening in your home, but first you have to fill out an extensive form which will help in determining if you have a legitimate claim or are just trying to pull their leg. They're also looking for new members! Investigators, technicians, and historical researchers can all become a part of WPRG, but only if they are serious and aren't just looking to have fun! (I would love to be a guest investigator, if they'd have me)

Happy Hauntings everyone! Submit your site to be featured next week at featured-site.angelfire.com (bonus points if you're Halloween themed!).
