Baltimore Mariners News Release


BALTIMORE, Maryland (January 23, 2008) - The Baltimore Mariners hosted a press conference today for nationally-acclaimed author Bill Bean at the 1st Mariner Arena. Bean, a Baltimore-area native, is a life-long friend of Mariners' owner and AIFA co-founder John Morris.

Bean's current book, Dark Force, tells the riveting story of his family's paranormal experience upon moving into a three-bedroom Glen Burnie home in 1970. The book is moving rapidly up the sales chart at Amazon.com, one of the nation's leading book sellers.

"This story is very powerful in the sense that it is not just a horror story, it is a true story," said Bean. "A lot of tragedy is attached to the story, but the overall message of the story and the book is my testament of faith and how I was able to overcome through the power and the blessing and protection of God."

Fans of the author, as well as the local media, had the opportunity to meet with Bean at the press conference. A large crowd attended the event.

"I've known John for over thirty years, and I want to thank my dear friend for hosting this wonderful press conference," said Bean. "It was a great turnout and a great day."

Bean's story has been featured by several prominent national media, including an episode of "A Haunting" on the Discovery Channel. He will appear at the 2008 OmegaCon Convention, scheduled for Birmingham, Alabama March 14th through the 16th. The well-known Hollywood movie producers, the Booth Brothers, have announced plans for a movie and several documentaries about Bean's life. He also plans to participate in the Haunted Survivor's Tour, which will take place in a number of cities beginning in late March.

Despite his busy schedule, Bean plans to attend as many Mariner's games as possible.

"I'm a Mariner fan, and I definitely will be at the majority of Mariner's home games," Bean said.
