Two New England co-authors have released their third true paranormal book, 'Haunting of Wilson Castle,' which published June 1, 2026, and quickly reached number one on Amazon. The book, part of the 'Haunting Of' series by Rob Gutro and Monique Toosoon, documents a five-hour public paranormal investigation at Wilson Castle, a 19th-century architectural masterpiece in Vermont's Green Mountains.
The investigation, led by Gutro—a renowned pet medium, paranormal investigator, and scientist—and Toosoon, known as New England's paranormal drag queen and para-technology wizard, included medium Lexi Duquette and The Digital Séance Experience. Together, they uncovered a 100-year-old secret tryst and encountered multiple ghosts, including a man with a darker side and a child seeking truth. 'We had amazing communications with Elliot and Sarah's ghosts and might've even uncovered a secret castle love affair,' Toosoon said. 'But things took a darker turn after midnight when an ominous male presence made himself known… and let's not forget the elemental energy that stirred.'
The investigation was initiated by Toosoon and approved by Denise Davine, owner and operator of Wilson Castle. Gutro, who communicates with ghosts using his medium abilities, noted, 'Learning the personal emotional stories of the ghosts we encountered, and assembling the puzzle together with mediums and technology was amazing.' The book provides a history of Wilson Castle, with photographs and sketches by Gutro, offering readers an immersive experience akin to joining the investigation.
The 'Haunting Of' series, which includes previous investigations, takes readers to some of the most haunted locations, where the authors get to know the ghosts intimately and discover secrets hidden for decades. Gutro, a scientist, explains the paranormal using the science of energy, distinguishing earthbound entities (ghosts) from those who have crossed over (spirits). Toosoon acts as a trigger object for paranormal activity and is well-versed in the latest paranormal technologies, which are explained in the books.
The implications of this release are significant for the paranormal book publishing industry and fans of true ghost stories. By achieving number one status on Amazon, the book demonstrates a sustained public appetite for real-life paranormal investigations that blend history, technology, and personal narratives. For readers, the book offers not only entertainment but also a deeper understanding of how science and mediumship can intersect to explore unexplained phenomena. For the industry, it highlights the growing niche of paranormal non-fiction that appeals to both skeptics and believers.
Books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback, e-book, and audiobook. For more information about Wilson Castle, visit www.wilsoncastle.com or call 802-773-3284 to plan a visit.
