Bio

Greg Caggiano is known for his energetic and passionate speaking style, and a penchant for making people laugh. Whether in-person or through Zoom, a lecture by Greg to your organization is sure to have your members asking for more.

He lectures on a wide variety of topics within New Jersey, American, and world history, as well as lighter subjects such as the histories of liquor and food. As an avid paranormal investigator and researcher, Greg also speaks on numerous topics relating to the paranormal, including investigating techniques and methods, ghost stories at famous historic sites he personally experienced, and various folklore, legends, and occult topics. Greg and his paranormal group Ghosts on the Coast are available for hands-on workshops, full paranormal investigations of your location, and even fundraising assistance for non-profits and historic sites.

​

These are some of the topics Greg can be booked for. They range from 60 to 120 minutes. Some can be custom-made to fit whatever structure or time-frame you require. Don't see a topic that interests you? Just ask! Greg loves to research new material and can put something together for your organization.

​

Please note that due to Greg's lectures about paranormal and "creepy" subjects, October is usually very busy. Please consider booking fall dates as early as possible.
