GHOST HUNTERS

This post is extensive with links for those who wish to research further. I've come to some simple and yet astonishing conclusions that might make a lot of things about man's existence line up and make sense. This is going to be a wild ride, but I know my knowledgeable readers are going to enjoy this one. After many years of investigating and growing up in a very actively haunted home, I have been fascinated with studying what sets off and quiets down activity. One thing I have come to study is the phenomena of "trapped spirits," as people often wish to call those who linger in a location after life. I have come to the conclusion that we are seeing this from the wrong perspective; that of mortals instead of separate worlds coexisting in the universal playground called life in all its forms.   We are both skimming the skin of separate realms; one ruled by time, physicality and mortality and the other timeless, eternal and omnipresent. Upon occasion, I listen to an EVP...

There is nothing like a trek in the summertime through green overgrowth on a narrow country road, twisting and turning without knowing what is up around the next bend, but it's even more spooky when you know the road has a reputation for unexplained mysteries, ghosts, spooklights, and weird creature sightings. I'm going to share my top 5 favorite haunted roads in America.  Clinton Rd West Milford, New Jersey As haunted roads go, this one is pretty exceptional. The most famous ghost reported there is a boy ghost. He supposedly hides under the bridge and when you toss coins in the water, he returns them. Most stories relate to the boy being at the bridge at dead man's curve.  Another variation is that throwing a penny in the lake will have it returned to the road the next day. This might be a variation on the boy and the coins ghost. The road has a remote feel to it, poorly kept, several dangerous curves and wilderness bearing down on it.  It got a reputation for some kind ...

A tour company that runs walking tours around Edinburgh’s Old Town has just scared its 100,000th customer. To mark the milestone, Alexandria Matos, a student from Edinburgh, was carried by sedan chair from the Royal Mile to Greyfriars Kirkyard to drink champagne with several ghosts – and a Skye terrier called Bob. She was also given a free tour, flowers and a magnum of champagne. City of Edinburgh Tours runs historical and ghostly tours of Edinburgh’s turbulent past, including underground tours of the city’s long-forgotten vaults. In 2012, the company acquired the old Police Box on the Royal Mile, outside the Tron Kirk, for £102,000 – making it, per square foot, one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the world. The 100,000th achievement underlines the growing popularity of walking tours as part of the city’s attraction for tourists. Visitors to Edinburgh in 2014 totalled 4,217,000 (38.5% of which were from overseas), injected around £1.32 billion into the city region's ...

I get asked a lot - what is the most haunted place you know?  Answer: Everywhere is haunted. Sure the building above looks pretty spooky, so it must be haunted. It looks old, so it must be haunted. Right?  Nope . Some places have hauntings that in baseline conditions can be perceived, i.e. anyone can have an encounter there at any given time. These conditions are likely caused by construction of the building, geology, layout of the rooms, and other factors like water table and seismic activity. If a building is placed with such ideal alchemy to leave a perceivable haunting, then Joe Schmo non-psychic can go there and have an encounter.  We have been looking at hauntings from the wrong perspective:  We look at the dead and who is doing the haunting, not at the humans who are perceiving it! Cameras and recorders might not capture what we see, hear and feel in a haunted location, but we are great receivers to perceive encounters. You have five noted senses and some tha...

' I worked in an ER for a few years. I remember hearing some nurses talking to a paramedic. They were discussing the "wee ones." I thought at the time they meant children. Later, however, I heard the discussion continuing as one of them pointed out where she had seen the wee one and what the wee one looked like. The nurse pointed to a spot between two doors. The doors had no windows. It was between a couple of beds in the row of beds that were curtained in the ER.  I listened as she told the paramedic her encounter. "Probably 2:30 or 3 in the morning. It was a slow night. I was heading back in from the break room toward the front desk, going through here." She gestured the bed-lined room.  "I got right about there." She pointed to the center of the room. "I saw something out of the corner of my eye and felt a weird shiver. Goosebumps all over." She rubbed her arms recalling it.  "It's like I felt someone watching me, but only one bed...

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...

I began "Ghost Hunting Theories" to try and find others who were open-minded and receptive to examining ghosts in the context of "we can't prove that they exist, and we certainly can't prove how they work," so let's start expanding the possibilities, look for instigators, repeatability, and factors involved. Why is one home haunted and another not? I went on to perform investigations in the field, read about it, write about it, and even developed my own haunted formula based on commonalities between haunted locations. It all began in 1963 when my family moved into an estate in Fairfax, Virginia. Aspen Grove was built in the mid 1700s as a fort against Indians. In the 1800s, it was taken over by the North to be used as a field hospital and during the war, wrestled back as the same thing for the South. Both sides of the war agonized and died in that home. In fact, the wood floors were still stained with their blood, and the earth littered with bullets, gun...
