Michael offers a unique perspective as an investigator of both the living
and the dead!  Michael is a police detective, having ten years of law
enforcement experience.  He has been actively investigating ghosts
since 2000.

Michael has a background in the sciences, having studied and worked
in the field of exercise physiology and sports medicine for over ten
years before pursuing a life long dream of being a police officer.  He
still maintains professional certifications from the American College of
Sports Medicine and the American Council on Exercise.  His
background in the sciences includes research, testing and evaluation,
and the scientific method.    His law enforcement training and
experience brings investigative know how and natural inquisitiveness.

Michael's own interests in the paranormal can be traced to his
childhood.  "I was the kid in elementary school who was reading books
on ghosts and the paranormal" says Worden.  His interest was fueled
by personal experiences he and many members of his family had at his
grandparents home, which is still haunted to this day.

In 2000 he began to work with noted author, historian and researcher
Linda Zimmermann.  Zimmermann is the author of the
Ghost
Investigator
series of books.   Working in small groups they have
investigated numerous locations including cemeteries, private homes,
and many other haunted locations.  Their more notable locations
include Eastern State Penitentiary, the Lizzie Borden House and
Rolling Hills Sanatorium.   

Worden is a proficient speaker and has given n
umerous lectures and
presentations
on the paranormal.  He is available to speak to your
group or organization on ghost hunting and the paranormal.  Contact

Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Norway. He was recently married in June
2012 to his wonderful wife, Renee
, with a great honeymoon to Ireland.  

Many of the investigations are documented in the Ghost Investigator
