From two of Rob’s books, you can experience a public paranormal investigation at the Hunt Memorial Library in Nashua, NH with Rob and Monique Toosoon. Their findings revealed three ghosts that were not associated with the building but chose the building as their residence. Together with other paranormal professionals and members of the public they uncovered a haunted secret love, illicit trysts, a ghostly teenage accident victim and haunted paintings. 

In the Ghosts of Linville Manor – Maryland’s Most Haunted House, Rob’s investigation revealed the identities of several ghosts, including one who remains there due to being unjustly accused. This book details that investigation, provides a glimpse of the home's past, and shares many of the supernatural interactions people have experienced.
