Thank you, Herkimer Farmer's Market, for posting a reply to yesterday's question. If you were not able to see their answer to "what do you think a ghost hunter would look like?", they responded with "Stephen King."  It just goes to show you that we all have preconceived notions as to what people look like, even according to their profession or hobby.

Would you be surprised if I told you that Cano Davy is an ordinary, average guy?  See for yourself:

Oh, wait! That's not Cano! That's the New York State Paranormal Research's logo picture! My bad!  Scroll further down to see the real Cano Davy . . .









Try this one:

There, that's better.  This is a picture that Cano gave me permission to borrow off his Facebook page, of him signing a copy of Ghost Hunting in the Mohawk Valley last week in Rutger Park in Utica as part of the "Picnic in the Park" event.  Pretty normal looking, right? Nothing like Gene Wilder, Bill Murray, or even Stephen King!  He does look a bit like those television ghost hunting guys, but not really. I told you-just an ordinary, average guy . . . 

Cano Davy was born and raised in the Utica area and graduated in 1997 from Proctor High.  From there he attended MVCC and is employed as a truck driver for Budweiser Beer. He told me that his family is his "support system," and consists of his wife Alicia, twelve-year old son Jared, and mother Diane.  According to his Facebook page, he is into working out and likes the "normal" things that you would expect a guy his age to "like": The Yankees, rock music, and the Oakland Raiders.  What? No NY football teams? Oh well.  He also likes things that we might expect a ghost hunter to like: spooky movies and television shows.  However, that's where the ordinary ends and the "unexpected" begins. . .

Drop by tomorrow to hear more of Cano Davy's story! 

***** Correction: Due to circumstances beyond control, Marcus Zwierecki will not be attending the two Herkimer Events on June 21, however, I will interject some of the interview with him into this blog, but will mostly feature Cano Davy during this month.
