GHOST HUNTERS

I'm going to share some of the realities of EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) capture. I believe EVPs are perhaps one of the best bits of evidence we get other than our own encounters. It is exceedingly rare that photo or video evidence cannot be proven to be dust, bugs, light reflection, long shutter speeds and other explanations, but EVPs can be acquired readily, easily, and more than people know. EVPs don't necessarily occur on a device in the very room you are asking questions in. Often, captures are done in other rooms, or on only one recorder in the room. In fact, if you get the same EVP on a few recorders, I would call that questionably something in the environment being caught.  Always keep recorders in the other rooms, as well as at doorways as a control so you can see if anyone had entered the building as an explanation for potential voices. That is the same reason you need to photograph a site during daylight before you investigate to be able to look back at your pho...

More often than not, people make assumptions about haunted locations. They see an anguished or tragic history and say, "this place has to be haunted!" And, so, a parade of teams study Eastern State Penn or Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum until the buildings are nothing more than haunted by eager teams. But, what if there was a way to narrow the field of potential haunted locations before you even try them out? What if you found a new location and wondered, "could it be haunted?" Without even setting up a cursory investigation, there are ways to go through a checklist and determine - does this place have the right elements to be a haunted vessel? In 2009, I took 50 of the most repeatedly reported haunted locations in America and looked for common features. I created what I called the Haunted Formula.  By looking at the common features of these locations, I learned that, a building can have a tragic history and not be haunted or it can be haunted and there seemed to b...

Here's a list of things often associated with hauntings  mists/odorless smoke footfalls doors opening and closing electrical turning on and off faucets turning on and off disembodied voices oddities on photos oddities on video feeling something touching you goosebumps feeling of being watched feeling as if you walked through spider webs objects moving on their own feeling of someone sitting on your bed  feeling as if one was pushed odd odors including cigars/flowers/pipe smoke balls of light/orb seen by eyes apparitions shadow shapes These were only some of the features, there are an unlimited amount of sensory input that tells us "ghost!" It gets more complicated as any of these explanations can be the answer -  poltergeists other dimensional beings psychokinesis emotional/mental issues faulty senses broken appliances poor electrical connections sound coming through ducts open cleaning products spirits of the dead Infrasound High EMF levels Geomagnetic storms environment...

The difficulty with explaining how ghosts and hauntings work is that we have yet to prove ghosts and unexplained phenomena, so stating any facts about it is presumptuous.  What we can do, however, is look for patterns and commonalities to come to some concept for how it all works. Let's begin with that moment of death. What we know from near-death experiences is that when one begins the death process, they go through some common thematic voyages from tunnels, lights, meeting dead relatives, and life review. I t begins with a moment of detachment from the body, yet a continued consciousness. Here's how I like to look at it: I'm psychic. I get information from a method that does not appear to depend on the five senses or the knowledge that is already in my mind. This extends beyond my "conscious mind" which is ruled by the brain activity.  When a brain dies, the conscious mind is no longer active, but the "drifter mind" (what I like to call it) takes flig...

I have performed many seances over the years and what I can tell you is this; there is no perfect saying or ritual, but there are some basics that should be adhered to - That being said, the elements of seances are similar, no matter how you word them or pace them. MEDIUM:    You do not need a trained medium, but you should have someone who is psychically sensitive.  I would prefer to not use a empathic psychic , but someone who is more in control of the emotions that might bombard him/her, so I'd choose a psychic who has either precognition abilities, physical abilities like PK or psychometry, or someone who is very good at reading people by any means, whether it's tarot or palm reading, tea leaves, or whatever.  GROUP:  You will want a group. I have found a group should consist of  4 people but no more than 8 . That seems to be ideal. Too few bodies and there is not enough energy. Too many bodies and it's intrusive and too much energy. Whether they are ma...

There is a lesser known experiment in the field of science that had a most unusual outcome - the paranormal. Not many people speak of it and yet it has highly intriguing implications. Dr. Walter Rawls, an expert on monopolar magnetic effects on matter, decided to try an experiment by placing a monopolar north pole magnet to the center of the forehead in front of the pineal gland. For many decades people have spoken of the pineal gland as being the psychic third eye. He wanted to see what might have perpetuated this belief.  The pineal gland is a walnut-shaped gland about the size of a piece of rice, floating in cerebrospinal fluid and with a bit of magnetite in it which is believed to help us find our direction, much like birds have for knowing where to fly, as well as a close connection to vision, allowing it to know when light is low and it is time to release the sleep hormone, melatonin. The experiment:  A mask was made which held the North pole end of a long cylindrical ma...

Laura's Cabin Savannah, Georgia Dating back to 1799, this charming historic cabin was said to be occupied for 50 years by a woman named Laura. She is said to be a protective and motherly type who might playfully mess with the lights or tuck you in. The cottage has one bedroom, one bathroom, and sleeps 4. It is also nicely within walking distance of restaurants, museums, theaters and more.  " Abby's Room "  Hotel Vendome" Prescott, AZ The hotel dates back to 1917 and is in a charming downtown Prescott, Arizona area. It's got a wonderful porch for rocking in a seat and sipping drinks and is within walking distance of the Whiskey Row bars and restaurants as well as the beautiful historic courthouse. Abby's room is called that for a woman who allegedly was living there back in the TB outbreak times. She was supposedly very weak and sick and new owners of the home, allowed her to stay. Her husband reportedly went for medicine but never came back. Abby passed a...

(Me imitating the monkeys at the Washington Zoo) We might not recall our imaginary friends, but most of us had them, even if they came in the form of the doll that we commanded a voice for and had act out a scenario in an army battle or riding in a Barbie Corvette.  A majority of us had a make-believe friend we named and who never got angry and took their toys home with them, gave us someone to talk to when no one was there, and made us imagine perhaps the person we hoped to become, an example of our ideal. Some of us imagined monsters under the bed and in the closet and it was difficult to shake the image once implanted in our minds.  As adults, it would behoove us to remember that our imagination is the birth place of our fears even today . And, a few of us actually had an open doorway with the dead as if they were as real to us as what our dog was thinking or feeling, which we were also privy to. So, when is it an imaginary friend and when is it spirit communication? And, i...
