Message From Grandma


My mom found this




at work, the only one in the whole store.

Then that night on during one of our TV shows that we watch, they sang "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" (which we used to tease Grandma with by singing it to her, cause every time she heard the song she would laugh.) & "Up On A Housetop" (which is the song Grandma & I would sing, while decorating her Christmas Tree at her house.)

So Grandma is basically almost yelling at me to enjoy Christmas like I always have.....

But how can I?

I'm trying Grandma, I swear I am.

Personal Experiences


The Homegroup icon appeared for no reason on the desktop of my laptop this morning.

The Homegroup icon appears on the desktop of my laptop once a month since my Grandma died; and it started the day she passed.

And the normal way you remove the icon doesn't work. I have to simply restart the laptop to make it go away.

Another experience last night was the hallway leading to the bedrooms was cold and the main bathroom was FREEZING!

Personal Experience


Yesterday (Thanksgiving Day), while my Dad was here, my Mom heard singing, but she was the only person to hear it. As usual, it sounded like it was coming from the basement.

Later last night, I got sick and had to be taken into the ER, while there, the room kept getting colder and colder. And it was that "special" type of cold that tells you, you are not alone.

Then early this morning (around 2am Central Time) once we were home, my mom kept hearing people talking. I heard nothing, but then again, I was under the influence of the medication given to me by the ER Doctor.


Today, I had to go back to Walk-In, because my symptoms returned.

While in the exam room, the room kept getting colder and colder, it was like a wave of cold air hitting you.

Personal Experiences


The other night I was driving home and I swear to god I saw a shadow figure ride a bike past the car.

Today we came home from doing errands and the bathroom light was on; it was off when we left the house.

And just now at 9:30pm my mom smelt her grandpas pipe smoke


Saturday, November 14, 2015

Personal Experience


Last night my Mom heard the sound of something sliding off the kitchen counter or table, making a very loud crashing noise.

I heard nothing.

Then this morning my Mom very strongly smelled the scent of the tobacco her Grandpa would smoke in his pipe.


Thursday, November 5, 2015

Personal Experience


On Halloween night I smelled the scent of the old time face powder my Grandma would use when she wore make up.

That powder had a distinct smell; not a bad smell, just a distinct one; at least to me it always did.

Shared Personal Experience


This past Tuesday, while at my Grandma's house, sorting through more of her things; I was alone in the house, while my Mom was out on the front porch, putting a garbage bag in the trash can, when the screen door opened and shut all by itself.

We were at Grandma's again on Wed., and the screen door opened and slammed shut all by itself, and then a few minutes later quickly opened and shut all by itself once more. My Mother was in the house this time so she experienced it as well.


A person we know who can communicate with the other side, awhile back told us that "all the men folk" in our family that have passed on, were now at my Grandma's house 24/7. My Mom and I assume it's to protect the house and property, possibly to reassure my Grandma in the afterlife that no harm would come to the house, or to her children or grandchildren while they were in the house, sorting through her things.

Mom's Personal Experience


While at work the other night, while counting down her drawer, my Mom smelled her Grandpa's pipe smoke.

It was so strong that it was actually making her start to cough.

She said "Okay Grandpa, can you back away just a little bit."

And the pipe smoke seemed to back away then.

She could still smell it, but it didn't seem to be being blown right in her face.


Thursday, October 8, 2015

Personal Experience


Last night my Mom, dreamed of the day my Grandma passed away.

In the dream she saw Grandma laying in her hospital bed, and saw Grandma's parents, Grandma's Brother and his wife, and Grandpa, all around the bed.

I told Mom that even though it was all most 5 months later, they were showing you who was there to take Grandma home.

Mom said in the dream, Grandpa spoke to her.

He said: "We're taking her home." Then he said "You need to take care of your little Sister." He then also said "Take care of each other". My Mom told Grandpa that she and my Aunt don't always think alike on certain subjects, and Grandpa said "You will someday."

My belief is that Grandpa was showing my Mom who all was there on May 19th, 2015, to take my Grandma home, and that he used this opportunity to speak to my Mom here in the present about things. He also told her "Everything will be okay."


Sunday, September 27, 2015

Personal Experience


I had a personal experience through a dream last night.

There are some problems at my Grandma's house, some problems that are deeply concerning to myself and my Mom.

In my dream last night, I was at Grandma's sitting at her kitchen table, and she was sitting across the table from me.

I told her about the problems and she clearly said "It'll be okay".

My Grandma






Since my Grandmother's passing on May 19th, 2015, my Mother has seen my Grandma a total of 3 times in our house.

And I have heard her call my name once.

But because my Grandmother and I were so close, I have been able to hear her "speaking" to me in my head as thoughts, but I know these "thoughts" are coming from her because I always hear the nickname she had for me.

Book Review of Dark World by Zak Bagans




Dark World: Into the Shadows with the Lead Investigator of The Ghost Adventures CrewDark World: Into the Shadows with the Lead Investigator of The Ghost Adventures Crew by Zak Bagans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I found Dark World to be an excellent book. The information contained within its pages was for me personally, fascinating.

The explanations and opinions on weather and Stone Tape Theory and other theories about paranormal were extremely informative, in my opinion.

I journal every paranormal event that happens in my Mother' home; and never gave a thought to weather or moon phase playing any part in that activity.

After reading Dark World, now when I journal a paranormal event I do my best to record the moon phase, weather, and emotions of those in the house at the time the event occurred.

I want to thank Zak & Kelly for writing this book; it has opened my eyes.

I highly recommend anyone interested in the paranormal read this book.

More Trade Secrets: The Essential Ghost Hunters Toolbox



Article from @ http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/haunted/SevenDeadlyghosthunting.php

By Calvin Waters

The advice on how to use real Ghost Hunting equipment can only be be answered by real researchers with years of experience in the ghost hunting field. Many would be Ghost Hunters only shop Paranormal Detection Equipment, Electronic Ghost Hunting Detectors because they think it is cool and want to try their hand at it. Usually without any prior training or other interest then doing what they think is cool.

Paranormal investigators make use of over a dozen different tools and electronic devices to help track down and locate possible evidence of paranormal. But are they in your ghost Hunters toolbox? I can remember the day when individuals went into a very haunted house armed only with a Camera: 35mm camera with black and white film and/or infrared film. It took no more then that to make many into true believers. Today it is all about full documentation with no errors, and sworn testimony to the level that it makes us all look suspect. that is if we don't have or do what they do on TV.

A Ghost Hunter from JACKSON, MS. she wrote me telling me in her long email that she had been ghost hunting professionally for over 5 years. And that she was an upstanding Member of the TAPS Family. Her request was for me to explain how to use the EMF detector she owned for 4.5 years and never quite got the hang of. In truth I discovered she actually used it because the clients who she investigated for expected it. But she had no clue to what the readings actually meant.

My advice is: Determine which ghost hunting methods you'll feel most comfortable working with: sensory or scientific. Sensory includes the use of dowsing rods, wind chimes and even psychics, sensitive's or mediums. Scientific employs gadgets such as video cameras, thermal imaging scopes and electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors. Some ghost hunters use a combination of both.

At UnivCon 2008, Brian Harnois gave a presentation entitled "21st Century Ghost Hunter" wherein he questioned the tools that are used for ghost hunting on paranormal television shows. He discusses Flir, digital voice recorders, IR cameras, and more. Keep in mind that this is edited together, and therefore is not the full lecture.

Many of us realize that both amateur and professional ghost hunters will appreciate the extensive range of ghost hunting equipment available to suit any budget and any level of experience. But people just don't buy something because you think it's cool. Electronic equipment adds objectivity and reliability to your paranormal research. But if your knowledge and use of the item is weak why pull it out?

If you must learn from your Ghost Hunting or other Ghost Hunters mistakes you should retreat and start at the beginning. These beginner's kit is great for hobbyists and novice ghost hunters.

This Basic ghost Hunters Beginners Toolbox or Paranormal Investigation kit should include:

One button toggles display of all three remote sensors. Updates quickly. Displays in °F or °C and will record minimum and maximum temperatures. Great for ghost hunters in any location! Moderately priced at just $69.95 *The maximum transmission range is 80 feet in a straight line (line of sight). Walls and obstructions can reduce transmission range by as much as 25-30 feet.

MONITOR 4: GEIGER COUNTER This device measures Alpha, Beta, Gamma and X-ray radiation and like other devices of this type, searches for fluctuations in radiation which will point to a disturbance in spirit energy. Great for investigations with an easy to read analog meter, red light counter, audible indicator.. and all in a hand-held unit It can also be used to check background levels of radiation in a location and uses a Geiger Mueller tube with a thin mica window. Includes a 9-volt battery. $299.95 ION DETECTOR: Unique in this price range, this hand-held ion detector possesses excellent sensitivity, is fully electrostatically shielded and can take accurate readings even under adverse conditions. This device can be adjusted to measure positive, or in paranormal investigation cases, negative ions separately. Much like with an electro-magnetic field detector, the ions in the air will measure a high disturbance when spirit energy is present. This device is great for investigations also because it is sensitive to natural effects like radiation, electrical storms and radon.... thus, is not easily disturbed by power outlets. It operates much in the same way as the Tri-Field Meter as it is not recommended for the beginner. Uses 2 9-volt batteries (included) $499.95

PORTABLE INFRARED MOTION SENSOR: Passive infrared technology is used to detect motion and temperature changes in a controlled area, which is vital for not only protecting the integrity of an investigation and for anomalous motion.

The sensor offers a 110 degree horizontal view and a 20 degree vertical view as far as 30 feet from the unit. Operates on 2 standard AA batteries and can be switched on and off from 30 feet away with a remote device. Great for paranormal research! $19.95

Decide how regularly you plan to ghost hunt. Ghost hunting as an occasional hobby doesn't require the use of the more sophisticated equipment, so there's no need to invest heavily in technology.

Go ghost hunting with someone who does it regularly. See what equipment they use and recommend and ask them for recommendations on local sources for equipment.

Use things you already own to avoid investing a lot of money up front. Start with the basics such as a camera, flashlights and a way to record investigation data such as with a notebook and pen or voice recorder.

Take into consideration the types of places you want to investigate and who will be with you. Walkie talkies come in handy for keeping in contact when covering large spaces such as cemeteries. Compasses not only help in navigating unfamiliar territory, they also react to magnetic fluctuations, which ghosts are said to sometimes influence.

Determine which equipment you are most likely to use if you are pursuing a scientific approach to data collection. Comparison shop at electronics and camera stores to be sure you are getting the best price and warranty on the equipment you purchase.

Real Ghost Hunting Tips & Warnings


  • Recording investigation data such as the date and location of the investigation, who's present and start time and finish times helps to preserve the integrity of the hunt. And of course it is real documentation.
  • Keep a lookout for used equipment, especially the more pricey and prized items like infrared thermal scanners, night vision equipment and air ion counters. Today pawn shops and ebay are filled with them.
  • Make sure to carry extra batteries. Many paranormal investigations do last for many, many hours. It's also theorized that ghosts drain available energy sources, such as batteries, to manifest. You want to make sure your equipment always has a power source in case you encounter Ghostly activity off the scale.

Don't spend a lot of money on fancy equipment for your first ghost hunting excursion. See if your well suited for becoming a real Paranormal Investigator first.

How To Deal With Real Paranormal Stress



Article from @ http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/haunted/SevenDeadlyghosthunting.php

By Terry Pleasent George

Recognize Signs of Paranormal Encounters and Hauntings and the Related Stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress. Some common categories and examples of stressors include: sensory input such as pain, bright light, or environmental issues such as a lack of control over environmental circumstances, such as food, housing, health, freedom, or mobility. We as paranormal investigators understand that these stress factors are usually what has caused a ghost to haunt a location person place or thing.

left over from their lives social issues can also cause paranormal stress, such as struggles with co specific or difficult individuals and social defeat, or relationship conflict, deception, or break ups, and major events such as birth and deaths, marriage, and divorce.

Life experiences such as poverty, unemployment, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, heavy drinking, or insufficient sleep can also cause stress. Students and workers may face stress from exams, project deadlines, and group projects.

Adverse experiences during development (e.g. prenatal exposure to maternal stress, poor attachment histories, sexual abuse) are thought to contribute to deficits in the maturity of an individual's stress response systems.

But what about the stress we as paranormal investigators carry from dealing with the live individuals that seek our aid, much less the ghosts that haunt them.

When Paranormal Investigators have the following signs, they might need crisis counseling or stress management assistance:


  • Difficulty communicating thoughts.
  • Difficulty sleeping.
  • Difficulty maintaining balance in their lives.
  • Low threshold of frustration.
  • Increased use of drugs/alcohol.
  • Limited attention span.
  • Poor work performance.
  • Headaches/stomach problems.
  • Tunnel vision/muffled hearing.
  • Colds or flu-like symptoms.
  • Disorientation or confusion.
  • Difficulty concentrating.
  • Reluctance to leave home.
  • Depression, sadness.
  • Feelings of hopelessness.
  • Mood-swings and easy bouts of crying.
  • Overwhelming guilt and self-doubt.
  • Fear of crowds, strangers, or being alone.

Paranomal Investigators who work with dependent people can also experience compassion fatigue; this can become a cause of abusive behavior in caring paranormal professions. It results from the taxing nature of showing compassion for someone whose paranormal suffering is continuous and un-resolvable.

One may still care for the person as required by policy, however, the natural human desire to help them is no longer there. This phenomenon also occurs for professionals involved with long term health care. It can also occur for loved ones who have institutionalized family members. These people may develop symptoms of depression, stress, and trauma. Those who are primary care providers for patients with terminal illnesses are at a higher risk of developing these symptoms. In the medical profession, this is often described as "burnout": the more specific terms secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma are also used. Some professionals may be predisposed to compassion fatigue due to personal trauma.

Easing Paranormal-Related Stress

>

The following are ways to ease disaster-related stress:


  • Talk with someone about your feelings - anger, sorrow, and other emotions - even though it may be difficult.
  • Seek help from professional counselors who deal with post-paranormal investigation stress.
  • Do not hold yourself responsible for the paranormal event or encounter event or be frustrated because you feel you cannot help directly in the rescue work.
  • Take steps to promote your own physical and emotional healing by healthy eating, rest, exercise, relaxation, and meditation.
  • Maintain a normal family and daily routine, limiting demanding responsibilities on yourself and your family.
  • Spend time with family and friends.
  • Participate in memorials.
  • Use existing support groups of family, friends, and religious institutions.
  • Ensure you are ready for future paranormal events by making sure your equipment is working order and you have supplies and updating your ghost hunting skills and plan. Doing these positive actions can be comforting.

Understanding Paranomal Events


  • Everyone who sees or experiences a real paranormal is affected by it in some way.
  • It is normal to feel anxious about your own safety and that of your family and close friends.
  • Profound sadness, grief, and anger are normal reactions to an abnormal event.
  • Acknowledging your feelings helps you recover.
  • Focusing on your strengths and abilities helps you heal.
  • Accepting help from community programs and resources is healthy.
  • Everyone has different needs and different ways of coping.

Children and older adults are of special concern in the aftermath of hunting for ghosts are researching paranormal events. Even individuals who experience a paranormal event or ghost encounter “second hand” through exposure to extensive talk or images can be affected.

Contact local faith-based organizations, voluntary agencies, or professional counselors for counseling. Additionally, A few of America's Paranormal ghost hunting groups may provide crisis counseling assistance.

What Is In your Personal Paranormal Survival Kit?


Article from @ http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/haunted/SevenDeadlyghosthunting.php

By Louis Jennet

You remembered to bring along extra batteries, Your EMF detector, Camera, thermo Gun and digital voice recorder but did you ever think about what you need in case of an emergency.

Paranormal Researchers today are often the last to be prepared for ghost or demon attacks much less for getting stranded in a haunted location. Imagine locked in a haunted warehouse or mansion for a few days, or trapped in a dark pit in a secluded Haunted cemetery or lost in the woods hunting cryptids. No food, shelter or water and haunted by unseen specters, Spooks or shades.

Would you know what to do if stranded in some of the world's harshest environments without food or shelter? Survival expert Les Stroud spends seven days alone in the Rocky Mountains, the Artic, and the Costa Rican jungle without food, water, or equipment. Anything can happen anyplace anytime. Are you prepared for the normal much less the paranormal? We all can't be as knowledgeable as Les Stroud, The Survivorman.

Just because you harmlessly happen to hunt for ghosts or Cryptids does not mean you might not get into a survival situation. Most investigators of worth always go out prepared to face the unknown. But in most cases an EMF meter a camera and your usual ghost hunting equipment is not enough in a dangerous situation.

Paranormal Survival

A survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared in advance as an aid to survival in an emergency. Military aircraft, lifeboats, and spacecraft are equipped with survival kits, so why as a ghost hunter do you think your exempt? As a paranormal Investigator there are things that you should add to your survival essentials.

"Consider taking along a bible or religious item such as a rosary, cross, and holy water. Star of David, a blessed Crucifix and any items known to ward off ghost and evil spirits." " In Louisiana I hear that paranormal investigators carry red brick dust in their kits as well as garlic, hot peppers and salt." "Red brick is to keep evil; spirits at bay, and the latter three are just to ward off Vampires, Grunch and Zombie's. " " Also remember you need ingenuity and skill. "Says David Wolfe II of Haunts Of Owensboro ghost tours.

Survival kits come in a variety of sizes, they need to contain supplies and tools to provide a person with basic shelter against the elements, help them keep warm, meet their health and first aid needs, provide food and water, signal to rescuers, and assist them in finding their way back to help. Supplies in a survival kit normally contain a knife (often a Swiss army knife or a multi-tool), matches, tinder, first aid kit, bandanna, fish hooks, sewing kit, and an LED flashlight with batteries.

What special items should go into a paranormal expedition survival kit you may ask? Of course the basics apply like water and something to eat.
