Brit Baileys Light
by ghostmap

 

Brit Bailey's final dying request was that he would be buried standing up. He proclaimed that he had spent his entire life stomping over the Texas prairies and he didn't aim to stop just because he died. They buried old Brit in 1833, the residents in the area of Bailey's Prairie, 5 miles west of Angleton, Texas, and Brazoria County claim that the early settler has somehow kept his vow and to this day is still stomping around on the Prairies.

The Thomas family moved into old Bailey's place shortly after he had been buried standing erect in the ground, and they were the first to bear witness to the old-timers return as a ghost. It didn't take very long for Bailey to start from and around again, in fact, in her diary Ann Rainey Thomas made a record of her sighting of him looking through a window at her one night. A family servant named Melinda also claimed a ghost would chase away the hired hands when it was time to milk the cattle at night. Every member of the household has sworn to have heard old Brit's shuffling footsteps moving around the house after dark. Once when Mr. Thomas was ill he even claimed to have spoken to Brit Bailey's ghost who would frequently visit him in his room.

It wasn't until the early 1850s that Bailey's glowing, ghostly image began to be seen away from his house, out on the open prairies. Col. Mordello Munson and several of his guests claim to have seen a glowing ball of light drift inexplicably passed his home at a very slow rate early one evening. Saddling their horses, the Colonel and his houseguests gave pursuit to the strange globe but were unable to capture it or clearly identify it. From that night on, “Brit Bailey's Light” has drifted across the Texas prairies which the old settler was so unwilling to relinquish.

According to a Texas legend the line is actually Bailey carrying a lantern across the flat land of Brazoria County, Texas – at night, constantly searching for a jug of whiskey. Now I can't say for certain if this tell is true or not in regards to the supernatural portion but you do have to admit it does make for an interesting story which deserves some form of investigation. If you're an investigator in that part of Texas please let us know if you come across anything interesting in regards to Brit Bailey’s Light. Thanks and keep it spooky.

Hawaii Ghost Hunters seek out the paranormal
by ghostmap



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.

Documented Deaths Caused By A Ghost
by ghostmap

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.

Ghost dreams
by ghostmap

Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and thought you saw something near your bed and seconds later it just disappeared? Since childhood we are taught that it’s just our eyes playing tricks on us. However the majority of the time when this occurs it’s actually a long lost loved one or just a random visiting spirit attempting to communicate via dream.

In order to make the most of this visit you need to keep a few things in mind.

1) Proceed with an open mind
2) Keep a pen a paper next to your bed and write down whatever you can remember of your dream any detail can be important.
3) When you go back to bed think of whatever questions you may have for your visitor so that the answer may come in our next dream.

Good luck and Keep it spooky.

The Ghosts of Inglorious Basterds
by ghostmap

Inglorious Basterds the movie about a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” that are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis in Nazi-occupied France during WW2. This Quentin Tarantino film was visited by both sides and lets just say non of the ghosts were fans.

Mr. Douche bag himself Brad Pitt was the subject of many ghostly moments on set. It seems that a few Jewish ghosts took exception to him being cast and played major prankage on set begining at the end of October of last years. The pranks went on and escalated til they included MR. Pitt and a toilet.

It’s kinda funny how in life these ghosts were killing each other but as ghosts they had a common enemy Brad Pitt. I can’t wait to see the movie cause I’m sure it had many unplanned moments

EWW What’s That Smell? It’s a Ghost
by ghostmap

Ghost’s can “haunt” a location in many ways and today I’m going to talk about how they do it with smells.

Have you ever walked into a room and something just didn’t smell right and no I’m not talking about the smell your tennis shoes are giving off. What I mean is have you ever had one of those moments where you swore you smelt your mom’s famous homemade bread or the smell of a cigar your grand father would smoke? If you have there is a good chance that those smells were a sign of a visiting from the family member you associate it with from the “great beyond.”

Smell is the easiest thing for a ghost to manipulate and drains them of the least amount of energy. The average ghost is able to manipulate smell about five years after death because by then they’ve accumulated enough energy from the environment.

So the next time you have one of these smell experience call out the persons name you associate it with and who knows they may answer you

Q) How’s it going Biggie?

A) Before we set this thing off I want to give a shout out to my mom’s and thank her for always being there for me and I want her to know I’ll always be watching out for her. As far as how am I doing? I’ve just been doing what I’m doing for the past 12 years. Holding it down and showing the haters I can still make music.

Q) WHat do you mean still make music.

A) I’m still spitting out the tracks because nobody can flow like me.

Removing Spirits
by ghostmap

Do you have spirits or negative energy in your home? I decided to post this to help you remove any unwanted guests or energy from your home.

White sage works best and what you want to do is light the sage and once it is smoldering take across all area’s of your home doorways, windows everywhere. Once you have done that tell the spirits and negative energy to leave and it is unwelcomed. Next sprinkle salt crystals at all the entryways and tell the spirits they are not allowed to reenter. This works everytime
