Now available to purchase on Amazon.com (buy it HERE) and Amazon.ca (get it at THIS LINK) is I Want to Believe: One Man's Journey Into the Paranormal, a new book by Jason Hewlett and Peter Renn, the paranormal investigators behind our video series We Want to Believe!

With a forward by Arrow in the Head founder and actor/writer/director John Fallon (100 Feet, American Muscle, The Shelter), I Want to Believe has the following description: 

As a boy growing up in England, Peter Renn and his family were visited every morning by a ball of light that moved from one end of the family’s kitchen to the other, doing so without fail for years. Instead of sparking fear, this phenomenon gave birth to a lifelong interest in a world that seems to exist just outside our own but is with us at all times – the paranormal. 

This fascination has led Peter all over the world, investigating every kind of alleged haunting imaginable. He and his fellow investigators have hunted for spirits in historic castles and prisons, family homes, hotels, and even maritime museums. 

I Want to Believe: One Man’s Journey into the Paranormal chronicles Peter’s most startling and frightening cases during his twenty-seven years as a paranormal investigator. The stories include psychic encounters at a community theatre, confrontations with shadow beings and other negative spirits, and even a case of possible demonic possession. 

Backed up by eyewitness accounts and historical research, I Want to Believe: One Man’s Journey into the Paranormal is a chillingly informative exploration of the dark and mysterious corners of our world.

Here are the authors bios: 

Peter Renn has more than 25-years-experience as a paranormal investigator. Born in London, England, he’s been fortunate to investigate documented locations all around the world, and specializes in negative (demonic) cases. He’s also a documenting investigator for an exorcist in Washington state. Skeptical by nature, Peter looks for a logical explanation first, before jumping to paranormal conclusions. Peter is an executive producer, and the lead investigator, for We Want to Believe. He was director of Vancouver Paranormal Society for a decade, but left in 2020 to launch the Canadian Paranormal Foundation with Jason Hewlett.

Jason Hewlett is a journalist, broadcaster, and podcaster with a degree in filmmaking and film studies. A lifelong interest in the paranormal led him to join Vancouver Paranormal Society in 2017, where he was a lead investigator and society director until 2020, when he and colleague Peter Renn launched the Canadian Paranormal Foundation. He is co-host of the long running prime-time radio show/podcast From The Basement, the writer, director and creator of the paranormal reality series We Want to Believe, and narrator for The UFO Show, both of which are on JoBlo Horror Videos. This is his first book.

Head over to Amazon to pick up a copy of I Want to Believe, and follow Renn and Hewlett's investigations in the We Want to Believe series on the JoBlo Horror Videos YouTube channel!
