Anyone who’s read “A Reluctant Spirit” or my blog knows I’m a proponent of respectful, kind and fun interaction with the spirit world. I believe it’s counterproductive at best to engage energies in a negative manner, and at the worst, it can be dangerous. While I believe God protects us from evil, I also think [...]
When I investigated the Goldfield Hotel in Central Nevada with our local CBS affiliate in 2007, I was taken aback by how our team’s ghost hunters treated the hotel’s spirits like real people. When we entered rooms, they’d apologize for barging in, and then introduce us. They talked politely to what appeared to be empty [...]
As most of you know, I began a unique spiritual odyssey when my boss asked me to work on our fledgling paranormal program. Over 14 years as the series manager, I’ve met astounding individuals and experienced mind-expanding activity that has enriched my life. If you live in the western U.S., consider attending some of the [...]
Thank you to Sharon Leong for guest writing this post. Sharon and her sister, Anne, are co-technology directors for the San Francisco Ghost Society. They’ll be teaching “How Spirits Engage Us” at the 2015 Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series on Oct. 10. What can you do to increase your chances of capturing the paranormal in [...]
Spirits can manipulate our electronics to communicate their desires and opinions. I’ve had multiple unexpected episodes that usually present themselves as an instantaneous loss of battery charge. Of course, we must consider why a battery would die (other than from paranormal activity) such as from extreme cold, it’s old or expired, or it’s been drained [...]
To learn how to clear your personal space, see last week’s post “Clearing Your Space and Removing Stagnate Energy.” From time to time, people contact me about unnerving ghostly activity in their homes or offices and ask for advice on how to make it stop. Here’s what I share with them: First, I ask, “Are [...]
Recently scientists proclaimed they proved ghosts didn’t exist. They said the brain creates an illusion of spirits when it receives conflicting sensory-motor signals when we are stressed, overly exerted or ill. But while this research may address one sliver of the paranormal activity pie, it’s far from relegating the Other World to the byproduct of [...]
When faced with the unknown, it’s easy to believe in Hollywood stereotypes. While there could be an occasional exception, I don’t believe we should fear the spirit world based on the movies and television shows we’ve viewed. Common misperceptions regarding ghosts: All ghosts are evil. If ghosts are the souls of people who’ve passed away, [...]
For me, the ideal ghost hunting team is comprised of at least three specialists: a technological expert adept at using investigative equipment and knowledgeable enough to detect false positives; an intuitive/psychic/sensitive who can detect energies and pick up spirit communication; and a historian, one who’s researched the site and can guide an investigation. Reasons historians [...]
