Episode #766 Genealogy and the Paranormal   Richard speaks with a writer, actor, and photographer about her book, The Eastland Disaster of 1915,k which the main character is not a person, but a tragedy of which few have heard.  But what happens when you’re innocently investigating your family’s history, and the supernatural intervenes? That happened without her seeking or wanting this, and she filed that under the “unintended consequences” category. Some things she learned from her book writing adventures—when you awaken the dead, expect the unexpected.   Guest:  Natalie Zett is a writer, actor, photographer, and musician and has worked as a freelance journalist for magazines and papers since her late teens. Her favourite writing job was working for an award-winning community newspaper in Saint Paul, “The Park Bugle”.  Natalie also taught others how to write for community newspapers at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, MN. And, during the last few years, she became a family historian. Natalie is a proud graduate of Ursuline College, Pepper Pike, OH where she majored in business administration. She also graduated from Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, MN, where she received an M.A. in Systematic Theology.     BOOKS: Flower in the River: A Family Tale, Finally Told Unlock Strange Planet Premium at https://strangeplanet.supportingcast.fm/ Learn more about your ad choices.
