We all watch them from time to time and regardless of your favorite show a few things will ALWAYS be missing from paranormal television.

1) A clear photo or tape of a spirit: I don’t care if your friendly neighborhood ghost got gussied up and went down to a professional photo studio and posed for a pic it will NEVER come out. You see ghosts are comprised of energy and even if they went corporeal the amount of energy they are burning threw just won’t allow itself to transfer itself to film. The best pics you will see will be grainy or blurry regardless of the power level of the ghost.

2) You will never see what goes on with most TV psychics: That amazing stuff you see on TV is just edited down to a two minute section where they take the info the psychic gets right from a 30-60 minute read. Ghosts are never as clear as you are led to believe on TV. The other thing there is a psychic on a cable show that will remain nameless for legal reasons who is so fake he must have a copy of the house history, report of whats been happening in the house and where, and a report of what any previous investigators have uncovered before he does a reading on camera. Pretty easy to guess things when you have all that info right? Guess you need to be holding all the “Chips” before you make your reveal to the home owner of the home over a cup of “coffey” err I mean coffee.

3) The last thing you will never see is how many investigators manipulate viewers. It’s easy to do in fact find a person who believes in ghosts and create a scenario where a haunting is possible then add screams and darkness and viewers will believe.

Hey guy’s sorry for not getting anything posted in awhile. I’ve been trying to update mysite but have been having a terrible time with Godaddy. It seems they won’t allow me to visit my site from Cox internet. I know it sounds crazy but in order to post this I had to actually hook up a phone cord to my laptop and post via dial up. So in the coming weeks you may see some changes to the site if godaddy can’t get this fixed because if I can’t view my own site how many other people are having the same issue? So bear with me if my posts get a little few and far between because I’ve made a commitment that once my hosting issues are straightened out I will be posting something new from the paranormal or something directly related to ghosts on my site everyday from now on. So please check back again soon and I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Til Next time keep it spooky,

Man has always been fascinated with ghosts, ogres, goblins and spirits. This fascination was also accompanied with fear from them. With the passage of time, these feelings of fear and fascination culminated into various festivals. Halloween is one such festival, which happens to be one of the most popular occasions for Christians across the world. Although it is more popular in America and the European nations, it is getting popular across the world and people cutting across religious lines are celebrating this wonderful occasion. Although it is associated with ghosts, spirits, dead and the haunted, the occasion is celebrated with great gusto and is very popular, especially amongst the kids, who thoroughly enjoy this day. However, if Halloween celebrations are enjoyable, the history behind the tradition is no less appealing in itself.

As it is, the festival is believed to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain; and that the name Halloween is an abbreviated form of “All Hallows’ Even”. This festival was originally a festivity marking the end of the harvest season. It was a common belief among the Celts that on October 31, the boundaries between the living and the dead dissolved, which made the dead dangerous for those who were alive. It was believed that the dead posed severe threats to the living, in the form of epidemics, or damaged crops. In order to avoid such a condition, they would form bonfires, in which the bones of the slaughtered livestock used to be thrown in. Along with that, they also used to wear costumes and masks in order to pacify or placate the evil spirits.

In the modern times, however, Halloween has little to do, with appeasing the dead, and it is mainly about celebrations, which incidentally have been a major contributory factor in popularizing the festival. Horror movies have been another contributory factor, as far as the rise in popularity of the festivity is concerned. As a matter of fact, it was horror movies, which took this tradition to places far and wide. The Halloween movie series is one such example, which played a major role in the ever growing popularity of Halloween. Another major factor which has contributed to the rise in popularity of the festival has been that of the Halloween pumpkin. The Halloween tradition of carving a face out of pumpkins comes from the ancient Celtic tradition of placing a skeleton, on the windows, to represent the dead. This was replaced by carving faces on vegetables, and today, a Halloween pumpkin is synonymous with the celebration.

Apart from the pumpkin, Halloween celebrations also include several activities, such as trick-or-treat, wearing Halloween costumes, bonfires, ghost tours, costume parties, trips to haunted sites, carving jack-o’-lanterns, reading horror stories, as well as watching horror movies. Originally, Halloween costumes and masks used to be made individually. These days, however, the costumes and masks are readily available in the market. And, since Halloween is round the corner, it is time that you buy your own set of Halloween masks, costumes, latest horror stories and horror movies.

The Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washingtοn, DC hosted its first

hotel opened. Mourning hiѕ sixteen-year-old son’s tragiс deatһ from blood

changed to Janυary 20. Tһe hotel has sіnce experienced unυsual occurrenсes on

This week’s quote comes from a ghost I call Wheezy. He actually got into my van and promptly got out when he realized he couldn’t put on a seat belt. He said

“I ain’t riding without wearing a seat belt man. I’m too young to die”

He isn’t the brightest crayon in the box is he.

I KNEW IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE GHOST ADVENTURES ENDED UP ON E! Network’s “THE SOUP”….lol

We’ll if you’ve been reading my posts you probably would have seen that I already talked a little bit about the London Bridge being haunted. This post is a warning about a fresh haunt. The London Bridge is Haunted and somebody should Call Ghostbusters!

You see right now 5 elemental spirits call the London Bridge home not to mention the dozen or so ghosts that live here. Elemental spirits are not to be messed with because they have the power to snatch the life from your body. Be careful and happy hunting.

The existence of ghosts has been debated for hundreds of years. It’s only in modern times with technology having advanced to it’s current stage that we might now capture on film and audio what a lot of people consider to be images of the supernatural. The questions of how come some can and yet others can’t see or sense the presense of these entities has been contested with a lot of theories both for and against the subject of spirits. One such cause for speculation is do our children see and sense what many adults either cannot or will not see?

One theory is that children have not had years to adjust their thinking and have not had the time to train themselves as to what to accept or not accept as reality like adults have. Adults program their thinking and consequently refuse certain images, noises, and feeling as real simply because in our minds we cannot accept impossible or unproven science.

Some parents unknowingly start to teach and train their children at a very young age to block these images. They do it out of protection and misunderstanding of the situation. How many parents have tucked their little ones back into bed with the words that they thought were reassuring; there are no such things as ghosts, you just had a bad dream, it wasn’t real, it was just your imagination? I think most parents are guilty of this including myself. How many parents are guilty of telling their children that their imaginary friend is not real, maybe not realizing that not only is that friend real but a ghost? I am sure it has happened before. Do you ever wonder if any of those bad dreams, those images seen in the night, those imaginary friends how many may actually be ghosts that for whatever reason have shown themselves to a child?

When we tell our children it was just a bad dream we may inadvertently teaching them to mistrust what they may have actually be seeing. Eventually training themselves to block what they have been taught cannot be real. Where as the opposite side of this theory; the parent who teaches their children that sometimes for whatever reason, a spirit may linger after death,
is leaving a space in that child to be able to accept the vision, the noise or the feeling of the supernatural. Could this be why some people are able to accept the supernatural with an open mind and yet others cannot? Does the door get shut at childhood or can it remain open? This is just one of the may theories used to explain why children see more of the supernatural world
then adults do.
