Beginning
in 1992 when I first decided to become a ghost hunter, it never
occurred to me that I would end up quitting my job and focusing
strictly on paranormal investigation. This has become my new career.
I made this decision after a series of occurrences while
investigating some buildings and, having no explanation for these
occurrences, decided to search for an answer.
Today, over ten years later,
I have discovered that there is no answer...just more questions.
This led me to again attempt to discover what secrets and mysteries
lie beneath what I cannot see. Ghost hunting has become a passion
for me to search for answers but a hot and trendy item for today's
people interested in getting a thrill. I decided early on that I
would make my attempts at educating the public and it would be up to
them to decide if paranormal activity exists or not. I picked up as
much literature on various subjects regarding the paranormal as I
could. I read anything I could to get various theories with which to
base my investigations on.
I discovered that the
paranormal delves into psychology and that it is the use of the
mind, the body and its' senses which may contribute to having a
paranormal experience. I learned that there are no experts in this
field. There are no possible ways that science can send a man from
this dimension or earthly plane to the "other world" and back again
and be able to talk about what he has seen. Unfortunately, near
death experience is not the same thing.
Psychology and the
paranormal are very similar in that there are many times when an
occurrence is merely psychological and not paranormal and vice
versa. Investigations have shown that occurrences involving younger,
pre-pubescent children are possibly made up from the internal energy
or "raging hormones" of these children. They are independent,
coming-of-age and rebellious. They want to speak their mind and are
told they must keep quiet. They are keeping all this energy within
themselves and are struggling with the ability of how to release it.
As time passes and the children find they can no longer maintain the
air of quiet, they release this energy in the form of activity which
demonstrates itself by slamming doors, shutting windows, bangings,
thuds, creaks and groaning noises.
The term "poltergeist" is
German for "poltern" to knock and "Geist" spirit, or a noisy,
usually mischievous ghost held to be responsible for unexplained
noises (as rappings). We have learned over many different studies
that children are unaware of these occurrences being based on the
energy they emit. It's easier to blame these things on a ghost.
However, working with them on investigations and under controlled
circumstances, we discover that it is possibly the energy they are
emitting. Of course, it is impossible to know with 100% accuracy if
this is indeed the case and it is the children, but once we have
made our conclusions and shared them with the host family, the
activity seems to go away or at least be diminished.
When taking a philosophical
look at the paranormal, we find that everybody has a story regarding
the paranormal, or everybody has a friend who had an experience.
Nonetheless, most people really don't want to have an experience
themselves. They are willing to listen to other people's stories and
be amazed at what has happened but looking at the whole picture of
say, perhaps seeing a ghost is not something they want to have
happen.
Seeing a ghost is very rare.
Having an experience such as having your shirt pulled, your hair
pulled, or being pushed with absolutely no one behind you is
EXCITING!! It leaves you wondering for days, even weeks whether or
not it actually happened. Your mind is unwilling to allow the
possibility that it could have to enter your mind. That is the
rational mind. But, having an experience like that gives you a new
sense of the world around you. Most people become different. They
look at things from a different perspective. In the same way that
having a child changes your life, having a paranormal experience can
completely alter your way of thinking and life. You become more open
to the world around you. Like a drug addict you want to have one
more experience to validate what you experienced before. You discuss
your experience with other people and find those that don't shun
you. In turn, these new friends also share their experience with
you. Talk then changes to other things, whatever that might be, EVP,
ghost hunting equipment, dowsing, etc. You become more involved
because of one experience and yet, longing to have the next.
Ghost hunting opens up so
many different avenues for you to alter what you were and to become
a "transformed" person. Many have called their transformations
"epiphanies" or a calling, linking it to just themselves and not
noting that many other people have had the same experience. It
becomes very personal.
Notice I have not discussed
anything having to do with religion. This is NOT a religious
experience nor has anything to do with religion of any kind. It
should not be confused or intermingled with religion.
Having a paranormal
experience is very interesting and exciting and for most, keeps you
longing for more. My job as a ghost hunter and paranormal
investigator is to teach you that the possibility exists that you
could have a paranormal experience. You should not be afraid of this
possibility as, with over ten years of experience, I have never,
EVER come across anything evil or malevolent. There are some ghosts
with attitudes but nothing that has ever hurt me or harmed anyone
with me. You should view a paranormal experience as something that
doesn't happen to just anyone and you should really feel very lucky
to have it happen.
In conclusion, I have
offered you information regarding the paranormal and the fact that
it exists. It is up to you to decide if you believe it or not. The
only real way to decide is if you are fortunate enough to have an
experience. Following that, I am confident you will join the tens of
thousands of people who have had experiences and are now looking for
their next one.
We believe. Do you?
