GHOSTMAP

The Ghost Adventures flying brick moment was probably without a doubt the most awesome moment in all of paranormal TV.  If you haven’t seen the flying brick moment from Ghost Adventures check it out below.

Now I’m not sure if the flying brick on ghost adventures was real or fake because I wasn’t there when the brick was thrown in the basement of the old Goldfield Hotel but I’m sure if any real ghost hunter was there with just one other person and these happened they would  GTFO the way Zak and Nick did. I’ve actually seen this clip many times in HD and I want everyone to know if you watch closely when the brick is about to be thrown you can see the outline of a person on the screen. I however don’t believe it’s a  living breathing person like you and I because it does not appear to be solid enough. I believe what the folks of Ghost Adventures encountered with the flying brick was a full body apparition.

I dare any of the Ghost Hunter guys to quit pretending to be plumbers for a day and go out without a giant 10-20 man crew and do some real paranormal investigating and post whatever they happen to encounter. Until that day I will have to say that Ghost Adventures is the number one Ghost show on TV. I can’t wait til the next season airs. Keep it spooky.

“Paranormal Investigators” searches for the truth behind supernatural and unexplained occurrences that have been caught on tape. In each episode, the six-person team, led by former FBI special agent Ben Hansen, searches for the most intriguing and unusual images, videos and unnatural phenomena found online and around the world.

Selecting the most intriguing images, the team heads into the field attempting to re-create the video, carrying out key experiments and searching for clues and evidence to answer the question: Is it real?

It is produced by Base Productions and premieres at 10 p.m.

Syfy’s success with its Wednesday night reality series, “Ghost Hunters” and “Destination Truth,” has prompted the cable network to create a second night of reality television, beginning on Thursday, July 15, it was announced Tuesday. Two new series will kick off the new block of programming: “Mary Knows Best” and “Paranormal Investigators.” (Both are working titles).

The house that became famous after the 1979 horror film “The Amityville Horror” is now for sale in New York however the ghosts are not included (because the home’s haunting was a hoax).

The 5 bedroom Dutch Colonial went on the market Monday for $1.15 million.

The Oscar-nominated film is based on the story of the Lutz family’s brief stay in the house in 1975 after 6 members of the DeFeo family were shot and killed as they slept in the house. Eldest son Ronald DeFeo Jr. was convicted of the murders.

The crime spawned a book and a series of movies that chronicled various supernatural horrors, including visions of walls oozing slime, moving furniture and a visit from a demonic pig named Jodie. The original film stars James Brolin and Margot Kidder. Neighbors tell us that gawkers still occasionally drop by, mostly on Halloween.

A Connecticut-based paranormal investigator has been charged with felony theft for failing to return a $2,200 thermal imaging camera he used during investigations to its owner.

Twenty-seven-year-old Matthew Kondracki of Enfield is scheduled to appear in Superior Court next Tuesday on a third-degree larceny charge, which carries one to five years in prison upon conviction.

The Journal Inquirer newspaper reported Thursday that Kondracki, an investigator with the Enfield Paranormal Society, was arrested Monday after a woman, whom police didn’t identify, complained to authorities.

Kondracki says the camera’s ownerwas the organization’s manager and bought the camera for the group. He says she was the last person to see it before it disappeared in November. Since his arrest Kondracki has filed for probation.

It is the only business of it’s kind in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society has been looking into reported hauntings and instructing people in ghost hunting methods for many years now. Some may call them crazy or thrill seekers.

But for Preston Galera and Blaise Atabay, it is more curiosity than fear that keeps them in the dark looking for the unseen.
“Fortunately, we haven’t faced anything that was very negative where it would actually harm you or hurt you,” said Preston Galera.
They’re used to the reaction from people when they tell them what they do.”The first they ask is, ‘You not scared?’ Obviously not, if we’re doing it,” said Atabay.

Galera and Atabay founded the nonprofit Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society three years ago.
They said they’re never at a loss for work, considering how spiritual the Hawaiians have always been.
“They believe everything, the rocks, the trees, everything has spirit,” said Galera. “All of that mana, all that power, that belief is still saturated here.”
While the reaction from most people when it comes to the paranormal is fear, this team of ghosts hunters said there’s not much to be scared of — spirits just want some respect.

“Really they’re just like you and I, it’s just we can’t see them,” said Atabay.
Respect is the main lesson they teach in their class at Kapiolani Community College on how to become paranormal investigators.
“For us, everything is respect,” said Galera. “Whether we’re dealing with live people, our clients, or people who come to us for advice, or the non-living people.”

Patience is another lesson they teach would-be ghost hunters.
“You gotta put in a lot of time doing research. A lot of people think you can watch the TV show and buy equipment and start going to people’s houses. It takes a lot more than that,” said Galera.

Galera and Atabay said not to call them “ghost busters” because they don’t claim to get rid of the ghosts.
“A lot of people are gonna doubt what we do and that’s fine,” said Atabay. “We try to gather as much evidence as we can to prove it.”
The founders of the Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society said they don’t have any kind of “sixth sense” when it comes to their investigations, just a healthy dose of curiosity.

While many people may doubt their findings, they said they’re out to help those who hire them for their services determine if they have some unseen guests or not. Atabay and Galera said in their investigations, they’ve never felt they were in danger, but there have been some spirits who may not have wanted their company.

Like the time they were investigating a warehouse in Halawa.
“Something actually got thrown,” said Galera. “We don’t know what it was. We tried to find every answer, there wasn’t any animals or anything.”
Ghost hunting is not a cheap business. Galera and Atabay estimate they’ve spent thousands of dollars on equipment to help collect evidence of hauntings.
Things like Infrared cameras and electromagnetic field readers. Geophones, for example, are meant to record seismic activity, but in ghost hunting it documents footsteps. “It’s not like how you see on TV where there’s always something going on. We go through investigations where we’re just sitting around in the dark for four hours and nothing goes on until later when we listen to our recording devices and we hear voices,” said Galera.
In one case, the team believes it recorded a ghost calling Blaise’s name.

The founders of the Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society said they would never go on simply “feelings,” but would make an effort to provide some kind of documentation of a ghost.

I get upset every time I see Chip Coffey and Psychic kids because the man seems like he’s exploiting these kids gifts for profit. Now I’m not saying he is I said it seems like he is so all you Chip Coffey fans please don’t get upset and email me to death like last time. You see the thing is most of you don’t know about good ol Chip is he charges $500 for a 30-40 minute session and that’s with one individual, and an additonal $250 for each family member who wants to be present. It just rubs me the wrong way that someone who claims he has the same gift I do then charges so much money. You really don’t think anyone should charge for using their gift but lets look past that and ask why does it cost extra for a family member to come with you and watch? Greed? I don’t think so you see my theory is that if a second person is in that room it ups Mr. Chip Coffey’s chances of being exposed as a fraud (which I personally believe he may be based on my conversations with those he interacted with on Paranormal State).

I really think that people really should stop watching this show because of the predatory nature of Chip Coffey. He is like a lion and these kids are the prey.

With a history of beheadings, murders, torture and hangings, as well as being a prison to Nobles it is no wonder The Tower of London has developed a reputation as being one of the most haunted places in Britain. Grim, grey and awe-inspiring, the Tower has dominated the London landscape and the pages of history, since its construction by William the Conqueror in 1078 and today on ghostmap not only are we going to cover who haunts this location but more importantly I’ve decided to cover a why this spot is haunted as well and when you read this your going to be a bit shocked.

***Most powerful Ghosts***

Anne Boleyn— King Henry VIII, after learning the baby Anne carried for nine months was a boy and still born, accused by her of infidelity.  She was taken to TOWER GREEN and was beheaded on May 19, 1536. Queen Anne appears near the Queen’s House, close to the site where her execution was carried out. She can be seen leading a ghostly procession of Lords and Ladies down the aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula her head tucked under her arm.

Sir Walter Raleigh—Was condemned to be executed by King James I. He frequents his rooms in the tower and is rater displeased by the tours of people who now visit his still furnished rooms. He has on occasion pinched, bit and scratched a few of the more disrespectful tourists.

Margaret Pole Countess of Salisbury—King Henry VIII had her executed for political reasons. The Countess refused to put her head on the block like a common traitor. When her executioner came after her she ran, but was pursued by him, with his axe in hand hacking at her until he had chopped the Countess to death. Her ghost is in a state of shock still reliving this  gruesome death each and everyday.

Lady Jane Grey–The granddaughter of Mary (Henry VIII younger sister) and Louis XII of France. The Duke of Northumberland would lose everything if Henry VIII’s son was to die and Mary, who was Catholic, would become queen. He and her father arranged her marriage to his son and persuaded her cousin Edward VI to name her his successor in case of his death instead of his two half-sisters. When Edward VI died she was crowned Queen of England, but the supporters of Mary overthrew her.

Her own father got scared and in hopes to save his own skin, left the Tower of London and went to Tower Hill to proclaim Mary I, as the Queen of England, Lady Jane never left the tower; she and her husband were immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death. Queen Mary carried out the execution of Lady Jane’s father-in-law but set both Jane and her husband free.

Her father was involved in a rebellion against Mary I, Lady Jane and her husband were again placed in the tower. Lady Jane watched as her husband was taken to Tower Hill where he was beheaded. She saw his body being carried back to the chapel, after which she was taken to Tower Green where she was beheaded. She was only 17 years old. Her ghost is most active on February 12th the anniversary of her death. She is protected by other spirits here due to her young age and the fact that her death was due to the result of the selfishness of others.

Cathrine Howard–She is one of the scariest ghosts in my opinion because of the fact that she has black void where her face should be.  Her ghost can be seen wearing a veil reliving her trip in a funeral carriage.

Ok, now that we covered the “major” ghosts at The Tower of London let me tell you a bit about the two reasons this place is so haunted. The first reason is that the Salt Tower is actually built upon a “hellmouth” or gateway to the afterlife. Due to this fact anyone who died within it’s general area were unable to pass on because of residual energy. The second reason is the stones that were used to construct part of the tower were taken from a Druid ritual location in which human sacrifices were carried out on these very stones.

One famous paranormal murder was Sir Robert Warboys in 1840’s.
Location:
50 Berkeley Square is a reportedly haunted townhouse at Berkeley Square in Mayfair, a district in the City of Westminster, on the West End of London. In the 1900s it became known as “The Most Haunted House in London.”

Paranormal Murders:

In 1840, the 20-year-old dandy and notorious rake Sir Robert Warboys heard the eerie rumours about the Berkeley Square Thing in a Holborn tavern one night, and laughingly dismissed the tales as ‘unadulterated poppycock’.

Sir Robert’s friends disagreed with him, and dared him to spend a night in the haunted second-floor room in Berkeley Square.

Warboys raised his flagon of ale in the air and announced: ‘I wholeheartedly accept your preposterous harebrained challenge!’

That same night, Sir Robert visited the haunted premises to arrange an all-night vigil with the landlord. The landlord tried to talk Sir Robert out of the dare, but the young man refused to listen, and demanded to be put up for the night in the haunted room. The landlord finally gave in to Sir Robert’s demands, but stipulated two conditions; if the young man saw anything ‘unearthly’ he was to pull a cord that would ring a bell in the landlord’s room below. Secondly, Sir Robert would have to be armed with a pistol throughout the vigil. The young libertine thought the conditions were absurd, but agreed to them just to get the landlord out of his hair.

The landlord handed Warboys a pistol and left as a clock in the room chimed the hour of midnight. Sir Robert sat at a table in the candlelit room and waited for the ‘Thing’ to put in an appearance.

Forty-five minutes after midnight, the landlord was startled out of his sleep by the violent jangling of the bell. A single gunshot in the room above echoed through the house. The landlord raced upstairs and found Sir Robert sitting on the floor in the corner of the room with a smoking pistol in his hand. The young man had evidently died from traumatic shock, for his eyes were bulged, and his lips were curled from his clenched teeth. The landlord followed the line of sight from the dead man’s terrible gaze and traced it to a single bullet hole in the opposite wall. He quickly deduced that Warboys had fired at the ‘Thing’, to no avail.

Three years after Warboys’ death, Edward Blunden and Robert Martin, two sailors from Portsmouth, wandered into Berkeley Square in a drunken state and noticed the ‘To Let’ sign at number 50. They had squandered most of their wages on drink and couldn’t afford lodgings, so they broke into number 50. Finding the lower floors too damp, the sailors staggered upstairs and finally settled down on the floor of the infamous room.

It proved to be a serious mistake. Blunden told his friend he felt nervous in the room, and felt a ‘presence’, but Martin told his shipmate he’d been at sea too long, and was soon snoring.

A little over an hour later, the door of the room burst open, and the enormous shadowy figure of a man floated towards the sailors. Martin woke up and found himself unable to move. He was paralysed with fear. Blunden tried to get to his feet, but the entity seized him by the throat with its cold, misty-looking hands and started to choke him.

Martin suddenly gained enough courage to enable him to spring to his feet. He tried to confront the apparition, but was so horrified by its deformed face and body, he found himself fleeing from the house. He encountered a policeman in the square outside and told him of the vapoury assailant that was throttling his friend. He found a policeman and returned to the house just in time to see Blunden jumping out the window, screaming in horror. His body landed on a spiked railing at the front of the house. He was impaled on the spikes and died instantly. Police searched the house but found nothing.

Sorry for not posting for awhile folks but I have been busy with other things I will try to post something new each day or every other day at the most.
