Murray Silver, recognized worldwide as the Leading Voice of Spirit in all its forms, begins his reporting at the point where Spirit is freed from the shackles and limitations of religion.
He challenges, provokes, and forever changes the outlook of seekers everywhere on Spirit, the paranormal, the supernatural, and a broader vision of life. From his family's historical ties to the legendary Edgar Cayce and Martin Luther King Jr. to tours with rock royalty and studies with the Dalai Lama, Murray's experience with Spirit is unmatched.
Murray Silver is the 5th generation of his family to live in Savannah, Georgia; recognized the world over as a border town between this world and the next. From this situs of the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Murray was raised in the 1960s with the backdrop of the southern civil rights movement. In fact, the KKK burned a cross at his father’s law firm when Murray was 13 in response to his defense of a poor black man for the murder of two prominent white men in 1966.
As a youth, Murray had his first direct experience with an apparition who ultimately saved his mother's life. From that event Murray's interest in Spirit led him to follow a road rarely traveled taking him to law school while becoming a pioneer in the promotion of Rock super bands in South including Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and others involved in the Revolution of Spirit in late 60's and early 70's rock and roll. While going to law school he transitioned from promoter to journalist in the 70s and 80s touring with acts such as Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Elton John, and Peter Gabriel.
The 80s and 90s saw Murray's emergence as a gifted writer first with the controversial Great Balls of Fire, the Uncensored Story of Jerry Lee Lewis (later a film through Orion Pictures), then Who Killed Elvis Presley (written with Elvis' personal physician) which was blacklisted amidst a curiously-incepted international scandal.
A meeting with His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama set up by mutual friend Richard Gere, led to Murray's articles about China's oppression of Tibet, and to sponsor US tours of Tibetan Buddhist monks at colleges and museums across the country. This experience and his studies with the Dalai Lama led to his breakthrough 2003 book When Elvis Meets the Dalai Lama which launched to the acclaim and controversy characteristic of most of Murray's exercises with Spirit.
Murray owns a Savannah-based Ghost Tour company, co-founded a publishing firm focused on Southern history, and appears regularly on Public Broadcasting Stations across the country.
Murray Silver tours the United States delivering the latest thinking on matters of Spirit, including annual performances as keynote speaker at MENSA's national gathering. He balances his position as America's most sought after commentator on Spirit with his writing including his recent book Behind the Moss Curtain and an upcoming title set to launch in Fall 2008 through Continental Shelf Publishing.
Murray and wife Cristina, divide their time between their homes in Savannah, Georgia and their two homes in Brazil.
