If you believe in the supernatural, Eric Mintel will intrigue you. And if you don’t, he might convince you.

“Eric Mintel Investigates” is telecast 10 p.m. Sundays, Service Electric Cable TV.

The Central New Jersey Network, carried by Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire streaming services, will feature the show for the Halloween season, 7 p.m. Oct. 29.

On his show, Mintel recounts ghost-hunting at the Plumsteadville Inn, Hanoverville Road House, the Homestead at New Spirit Old Soul. Mintel has also investigated Bigfoot in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and the “Beast of Bray Road.”

“We’ve never seen anything malevolent,” says Mintel in a phone interview from his home in Perkasie. “Most of the ghosts we’ve seen are probably happy being there.”

Mintel and his team talk to the owners of the buildings they visit and tell their history, relating the ghosts to their surroundings. They can often identify who they were when they were alive.

Mintel’s co-researcher Dominic Sattele is a self-described spirit medium, who says he can intuitively “detect the energy that is present in haunted places.”

The duo uses a ”magnetometer.”

“It measures electromagnetic energy in an area. It works better at night, when there is less electrical activity. We also measure EVP, electronic voice phenomena, which detects sounds that the ear can’t detect,” Mintel says.

A high electromagnetic reading can point to other phenomena, while EVP can pick up the usually subtle vocalizations that entities make, says Mintel.

Ghosts and owners of buildings can form a relationship that can become very emotional, Mintel says:

“It’s all about people behind the scenes. Some spirits are more connected. They will present themselves to certain people.

“Everything we do is based in truth. We look at it scientifically. We go in skeptically, thinking ‘What is really going on here?’ People are seeing something. Our job is to tell them what they are seeing.”

Mintel is a jazz pianist, whose Eric Mintel Quartet performs 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9 in the “Jazz Upstairs” series, Rodale Community Room, Miller Symphony Hall, Allentown.

Mintel began doing videos, some of which were tongue in cheek, with Dave Antonow, who plays bass in his quartet. He reconnected with Sattele in 2017. The two attended Pennridge High School, Perkasie.

Mintel has seen enough during his investigations to become less skeptical:

“There are things that were caught on camera in post production, like orbs and weird shadows, wacky stuff. There’s got to be an explanation.”

However, he says, “We leave with more questions than answers. We can ask, ‘What is that energy? Who is it? Who is causing it?’ But we never get a final answer. There is no answer. The possibilities are infinite.”

The team went to Walworth County, Wisconsin, to cover the Beast of Bray Road. They made two follow-up shows as they heard about more and more sightings. One features a town hall in Elkhorn that drew 140 people, many of whom were eager to tell their stories.

“Mintel Investigates” is looking at the Bryn Athyn Beast in Montgomery County. “It is almost the same creature. Both have a strange way of walking, almost gliding along. Creatures like these are not restricted to one area.”

In May, Congress held its first UFO public hearing in more than 50 years. It covered reports about unidentified aerial phenomena.

Mintel says such events have made it easier in the last 10 years or so for people to come forward. “The government did not want to panic people, but since things like the pandemic, people can handle it now.”

If you see something strange that you can’t explain, you are not alone. “Everyone has had some type of paranormal experience in their life,” says Mintel.
