When psychics are also paranormal investigators

When psychics are also paranormal investigators, do you think they are swayed by spirit to locations where other psychics were mistakenly institutionalized?

In captive times of medicated stupor and submission in sanitariums across our country I wonder why a psychic  ghost would linger in torment. Death certainly would be that open door to freedom that they longed for in their mortal shell. Once free from earthly bounds, what would cause a spirit to remain in a realm of despair? Or is it despair at all? Do we in our death oriented fears assume that spirits are trapped? The term trapped spirit really has an effect on me. Trapped by what? Trapped by guilt or by time or trapped by God or Satan?

The Ghost of a Salesman

What does $1,237.33 US dollars, 39 people, and two ghosts have in common?  Well, the long and the short of it is people were swindled out of their money by a ghost promising treasure and access to a rare elixir.

In the May 8, 1815 edition of the Kentucky Gazette, appeared an item from The Philadelphia Democratic Press, about the case of Commonwealth v. John Dady.  Mr. Dady was indicted and convicted of conspiracy to cheat.

i, Empath

Do you believe empathy is a real phenomena? While the purest form of the word simply means “showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another “, in the paranormal world we take that definition further to claim that people can sometimes feel the emotions and personal energies of both the dead and the living at a psychic and physical level.

I can’t count the number of people that I have interviewed over the years that lay claim to some form of empathic ability. I personally claim the ability to “tune-in” or open my mind up when I am doing paranormal work so that ghosts can tell me their story at some energetic level. My “gift” (if you believe in such things) has also always allowed me to block these energies once I identify them at least in general terms.

It’s All About Protection

I thought, that having spent the past 25-plus years advocating, promoting, encouraging and educating about the prevention of HIV, and how important protection is, surely the subject of protection and the paranormal wouldn’t be very complex, right? Well was I wrong!

I found during my research on this subject that protection within the world of the paranormal takes on a whole new meaning, one filled with wide-ranging theories and perspectives. The rites and rituals practiced by investigators are as varied as the investigators themselves. Read more

Let The Dead Be Dead

buzzardsA recent tragedy in the Paranormal field brought this topic to mind.

When someone dies, tragic or otherwise, the standard procedure for their spirit is to leave or become disconnected from their worldly body, take a quick look around, and then proceed in an orderly manner to the nearest exit into the next world.

It is not unusual for the spirit to want to hang out a few days for any number of reasons. They may be upset that they died before they were finished with life. Often they are in denial of their circumstances. It may be something as simple as wanting to comfort their loved ones or to get one last message across to the living. I suspect that some just stick around just to see who shows up for the funeral. Despite the endless possibilities, the point is that in death – as in life, we all find a lot of excuses to not follow instructions.
