GHOST HUNTERS

We often get "feelings" but don't know where they come. In the field of psychology, feelings are the result of thoughts. So, if we think it's totally unfair that our boss expects the report by tomorrow, then we feel anger. If we think someone broke into our home because we hear a noise at night, we get scared. In the field of paranormal investigation, your feelings take on a whole new realm; that of the intuitive. What is the intuitive? It's receiving information by means we cannot grasp or have a full understanding of its origins. If we break it down, information comes to us in the physical realm and our bodies interpret these things into intuitive feelings. We don't even realize this process. Physical: Chills, heat, electrical sensations, goosebumps, heavy weight feeling on chest or head, headache, nauseousness, breathlessness, dizziness. These are just some of the physical manifestations we get in an environment. Have you ever gone into a building and felt...

  Not sure about the overused premise, but I'll watch anything with Josh Gates hosting it. This show is actually his baby. I think what he understands about "Destination Truth" is that people love to see folks stranded in terrifying places, all alone, in the dark. "Stranded" is Syfy's new attempt to feed the hungry beast that is paranormal geeks TV viewing.  Here's the description: Created by Josh Gates (Destination Truth), Stranded is an all-new reality series that documents an unconventional – and terrifying – paranormal and psychological experiment. Each episode features the self-recorded footage of a diverse group of every-day paranormal enthusiasts - from newlyweds and a brother-in-law to a trio of roommates. Each team of three will be stranded at one of the most haunted locations in America and record the entire experience with hand-held cameras creating a suspenseful, completely unscripted first-hand account of each group's sta...

Did you know Las Vegas actually beat out Detroit as most abandoned city? 1. Las Vegas. 2. Detroit 3. Atlanta. It makes sense. The car industry took a nosedive which hurt a pocket of workers in one major city, but all the Americans are retreating from gambling their money away and the excesses associated with what I considered to be the single most decadent town. Others who live there locally are more apt, in desperate times, to turn to gambling as the only fast method out of their issues. Overall, it is an economic bomb waiting to go off. Now, let's check out why it's abandoned. It’s a chain reaction, really. Places like the Boardwalk in NJ could handle the recession much better if you think of it logistically. Las Vegas is smack dab in the middle of nowhere USA. You have to book a flight and a lot of other expenses incurred to stay there including the shows which are astronomical to attend. NJ has it easier, everyone has a one to two-hour drive and they’re there. With the huge...

Jim Heater, host of Paranormal Geeks Radio and ghost researcher, has helped out with this theory today and knocking around new concepts. Be sure and follow his blog (link above) and listen to the show on Tuesday nights at 9 pm EST . Tonight , he's having the charming and intelligent Paranormal Highwayman, David Lowery, as a guest to talk about his RV project to trek Rt. 66 and talk paranormal with America. A true paranormal geek! Now, let's talk about the ancient giants and their relationship to Bigfoot, if there is one....   It may not be a coin cidence that the population of witnessed Bigfoot encounters is highest from the Ohio Valley down through Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kansas , Ark ansas, Oklahoma, East Texas.   Giant skelet ons were discovered in the Ohio Valley area and other sites around the US like Nevada and California ( not far from Bigfoot's locations in the Sierras and Casca des). Jim Vie ira , a researcher uncovering the ancie nt structure s a...

Last night, the Finding Bigfoot team went to Tennessee, right smack dab in some of the best squatch country in the US.  The Great Smoky Mountains of the Appalachian Chain have had a lot of reports of Bigfoot sightings. I just want to say, I wish they would quit referring to Bigfoot as an animal or an ape.  Ranae was bringing a logical and healthy skepticism to the photos that look very blobsquatchy. She talked about pareidolia which is the human desire to see meaningful things within shapes. The photos they examined were of a horrible quality, so nothing could be determined, but the area looked promising.  I run into this in ghost investigation field, as well. If you have to tell people what you heard on an EVP or what you see in a photo and they don't hear or see it without prompting, it's not good evidence.   Best Lines Bobo: I got a really good feeling. When I get this feeling, I'm 75% right and I think we're gonna get some action. Ranae: I don't know what to sa...

Tonight, the Finding Bigfoot team is heading to Tennessee. Now, this is really the heart of squatch country, between Kentucky to East Texas. This breadbasket region for BF is teaming with these cryptic fellows. Tomorrow morning, I will be publishing my review of the episode along with the best lines from the show.

"The Secret" (right now on live streaming Netflix on video and book form in stores) has a simple principle - whatever you focus on, you attract , the "law of attraction."  There are three rules; ask, believe, receive.  If you spend your time focusing on your lack of money, your partner not being supportive, your boss nagging you; you end up attracting those very things. The focus of your life, energy and focus is on the very thing you DON'T want. Instead, you must believe, envision, and focus on what you DO want. This attracts those very things to your life. Interestingly, athletes asked to imagine a marathon run, envisioned it and the corresponding muscles showed response. They weren't actually running it, but their mind had sent out an energy reaction, causing a rippling effect.  So, utilizing this basic principle - let's apply it to those who are troubled by haunting features in their homes. If you are in an unsettling situation and you worry about i...

"Born on the Bayou" Creedence Clearwater Band Tonight, Zak and the Boyz are covering the haunts of New Orleans. Why do I have images of Zak wearing beads caught in my head? Drinking game rules: 1. Stay home. 2. Have a sip for every "bro," "dude," "man," every time Zak thinks he's touched by a ghost and every time Aaron's mouth drops open in horror. Drink for tonight? Southern Comfort - (whiskey mixed with fruit juice of your choice)

Men in black; those nondescript men who show up on people's doorsteps who have experienced potential alien encounters. They are an odd enigma that has unsettled many. They seem to be some kind of archivists of events or perhaps there to cover up the events. They have been known to look a bit out of time in their dress, a bit off in their mannerisms, wearing dark sunglasses, driving a big black car, with un-human-like emotions, and often with extraordinary skills. Let's look at the two most popular explanations for men in black - GOVERNMENT Many assume that these are government workers. Any of us who have lived in the DC area know what secret service looks like and these guys have a similar conspicuously-trying-not-to-look-conspicuous look.  This is probably the most logical answer to the MIB phenomena, but there are some things that don't jive. It's entirely possible to train covert government workers to act as unmemorable as possible and unable to pick out in a crowd,...

Thank you so much History Channel’s “Universe” show for doing an episode recently on “Parallel Universes.” This is very close to what I believe is occurring when we experience ghost phenomena. In the episode, a scientist sat in a boat and explained how he is riding on a membrane and believes he is part of the entire world, but below him in the water is another world. The two are unaware of each other, as they’re not interacting. If you take this a step further, should a man fall off the boat into the water, he suddenly becomes part of the other world, seen by the fish, and at the same time seen by us in this dimension. Intriguing . It’s the very sporadic nature of the ghost phenomenon, the “defying” the laws of physics, like objects being thrown by unseen hands or full body apparitions walking through walls that can understandably be explained by a less knowledgeable man from the 1700’s or 1800s as a spirit. The only other dimension “known” to him is the spiritual world. But what if ...

I'm very excited about this video. The moment it came out, I ordered it! I know Jaime and he is one of those people on one hand I can count that I trust implicitly in the field of Bigfootery. He has a high respect for nature and for science. His background makes him the ideal tracker and interpreter in the wild. Sierra Sasquatch: Tracking a Legend DVD Tracking a Legend- I head to an area of prediction and find some tracks. On the way back I find symbols drawn on the ground. What do they mean? Were they meant for me to find? As I return to my vehicle I see a tall ancient looking man running from the direction of my vehicle. Their movement is unlike the human running gait. Based on the symbols I head to a new area of opportunity. What I find there is quite amazing and what I experience there is compelling. Follow me into the beauty of the Sierras as I travel alone without food or a gun to record the known residents of the sierras as well as strange forest anomalies. It is a ...

Troll:  A Scandinavian mythical creature that lives among the rocks and caves in the dark places, avoiding humans, not a pleasant and when sunlight hits them, they turn to stone. Gnome:   A humanoid creature that lives underground. Sometimes guarding caves and mines.  Supposedly able to move through solid earth like humans move through air. Perhaps we are a perverse and imaginative culture that we wish gnomes and trolls to be real beings and actually sharing our space on the Earth at this very moment. Urban legends, legendary and cryptid creatures are attractive concepts. We like not knowing everything that's out there and get a delicious titillation from the cautionary tales. There are, however, tales of them existing and people offering some proof - let's look at these modern-day cases - People supposedly attacked by gnomes in Argentina. The creature was described as wearing dark clothing, walking sideways on its feet and barking like a dog, as well as attacking folks. ...
