POLTERGUEST ANNOUNCEMENT
The Hollow is thrilled to announce Michael O'Connor who will be leading the investigation of The Dark Path! Michael O’Connor is the owner and founder of Cryptids and Paranormal Productions and the co-organizer of New Jersey’s Annual Cryptids and Paranormal Conference. He has been a cryptid and paranormal enthusiast since 2005.
Michael has participated in dozens of independent and BFRO (Bigfoot Field Research Organization)–sponsored expeditions throughout the Northeast, ranging from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
When not in the field searching for evidence of cryptid activity, Michael has taken part in numerous paranormal investigations at some of the region’s most infamous and intriguing locations. He is perhaps best known for his statement, “All hoaxers will be hung,” made in Andrew Callaghan’s documentary Hunt for the Jersey Devil.
In 2025, Michael placed second in the Whitehall, New York Sasquatch Calling Contest, further highlighting his dedication to—and sense of humor within—the cryptid research community.
Outside of his investigative work, Michael has been the lead singer of the rock group Mikell’s Plot for the past twenty-seven years. He is also an accomplished Class A chess player. Additionally, he has spoken at the NJ/PA UFO Study Group, which meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the Hamilton Public Library and welcomes all who are interested.
