Ghost Hunting – Psychic Medium vs. Paranormal equipment

CantonRep.com: Ghost Hunting – Psychic Medium vs. Paranormal equipment Depending upon what you are looking for in a ghost hunt/investigation you can probably find it somewhere. If the person leading the tour is not a psychic medium, intuitive or sensitive to their surroundings, they have no choice but to rely upon the use of EMF meters and other equipment where they will instruct you to look for one of the lights to go on so that you have found a ghost.

Food for thought;

If someone cannot see them, or hears them, feels them or senses them, then, how can they be your guide on a tour or investigation? In these cases, if they are leading a ghost tour or a walking ghost tour do they then become story tellers by reciting information found in newspapers, books, from mediums, etc. If they are leading a ghost investigation and relying upon the equipment that they use, how would different ghost hunters interpret the same data differently, and, if a medium says a spirit is there but the equipment is not registering it, how do you go on from there? On the other hand, when someone like the Warehouse uses a psychic medium on their ghost tours then the following are plausible scenarios; the psychic medium is telling you the truth and that she has the gift to speak to the spirits, she is delusional or that she is completely making it up or perhaps a combination of all of them.

Regardless of the technology, there is still no better piece of equipment than the human body. The next time that you watch a ghost hunting show where a psychic medium is present, they will always defer to the medium to provide confirmation that their equipment is recording accurately. Why do you think that is?

Most often asked Questions:

Are there “Gay” ghosts?

The short answer is both Yes and No to those being openly or secretly being Gay. To clarify this ambiguity, I need to explain further. Unlike in this life where unfortunately prejudice is a part of the world that we live in, in the afterlife, it does not exist. Imagine an existence where everyone is treated equal and peace, love and harmony prevail. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? This part is a little trickier to explain as it will immediately bring forth in some people pre- conceived notions.

As we have free will in this life to make the choices we make, in the afterlife spirits also have free will to make choices. A spirit is a reflection of the person we were in this life. There are those that have passed on that have chosen to continue to be the essence of being of who they were as a person in this life where the human qualities had simply been transferred to a spiritual existence. And, for reasons of their own, there are those that have not made that choice in a spiritual existence.

The “Who’s who” in Ghost Hunting?

How this new directory could be of benefit to you

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there is simply no denying the tremendous interest in them from every demographic group from around the world, and, there is no sign of this interest letting up. However; when it comes to wanting to be a part of this business, it can be more challenging especially if you are trying to start from scratch. This is where we can help.

The Warehouse on the Canal is considered as Ohio’s Center for Poe, Ghosts and Horror where we try to provide a fresh approach to the paranormal as is the case with our own Warehouse Ghost Tours www.theghostsofcanalfulton.com as well as providing assistance to others where we can. We are also creating The Warehouse / Dead and Loving It Tourism that is being designed to work with all businesses where entertainment /dining/shopping/lodging packages will be put together bringing customers to all on a year round basis.

This week will be the first meeting with a selected few experienced, passionate and dedicated Ghost Hunting Groups that eventually we hope to expand throughout the State of Ohio to be able to provide from a new directory to be created quality recommendations to assist others with different types of needs. Ex: If you are an Historical Society or a non-profit organization, etc that are in need of generating funds and have thought about creating a ghost hunting program, but, didn’t know how to go about it, this is where those recommendations can be of assistance.

If you are a Ghost Hunting Group that would like to be considered as part of the “Who’s who” or you are an organization that would like to explore a ghost hunting program, please email me at info@canalwarehouse.com

My First Ghost Hunt with My New Paranormal Society

From GhostPlace.com: My First Ghost Hunt with My New Paranormal Society

I recently created my own paranormal society after all of these strange experiences. I live in Springfield, Illinois, and we had our first ghost hunt last Monday. We investigated Wolfe Creek Cemetery. One of my fellow friends and investigators had an experience with a woman in white. So we went.

The first experience happened as I was telling whatever spirit that might be there that we weren't gonna hurt them and that it was okay to talk to us. At that moment four out of the six there heard an infant wailing, as if it was in pain. It lingered for a moment and we caught it on our recorder. I will upload that an the pictures when we are done analyzing.

The second experience happened as we were wrapping up. My friend Jay and I were talking to the guy who handles the tech department when we saw a white mist form and then dart to the right of Jay. I saw it again a few minutes later, and Jay and I took off after it. Our tech guy said he saw a white mist follow after us when we turned around and started walking back. We then left. We are still going over everything, and I will post.

UK: Cambs Supernatural Investigators hold first major ghost hunt at Dog in a Doublet, Whittlesey

From Camb Times: Cambs Supernatural Investigators hold first major ghost hunt at Dog in a Doublet, Whittlesey
CAMBRIDGESHIRE Supernatural Investigators held its first major ghost hunt at a Fenland pub after some mysterious incidents during its renovation.

Among ghost hunters at the Dog in a Doublet, Whittlesey, was KELLY FELSTEAD, fiancée of our editorial content manager Tom Jackson, who shared her experience.

A PUB nestling on a riverbank in the remote Fens is bound to be a prime target for centuries-old ghostly tales and supernatural goings-on.

So the Dog in a Doublet, Whittlesey, was the ideal setting for a ghost hunt by the newly-formed Cambridgeshire Supernatural Investigators (CSI), who visited the recently-renovated pub in a bid to capture some ghosts in the act.

It was with excitement, and a little bit of apprehension of the unknown, that my sister Jodie and I joined CSI on its hunt.

Landlords John and Della McGinn said the Dog in a Doublet was renowned for being haunted. Becky Cooper (green jacket) and Vivien Powell have formed Cambridgeshire Supernatural Investigators -Becky Cooper (green jacket) and Vivien Powell have formed Cambridgeshire Supernatural Investigators -

The couple have experienced many strange incidents including the curtains in their flat being mysteriously drawn when no-one’s home, screeching noises and things being moved around.

Builders were also running scared during the pub’s renovation.

Mrs McGinn said: “Some people have seen a woman walking across outside.

“We hear footsteps a lot from the cellar to our flat. John has had a feeling that someone followed him to the cellar.”

A picture taken by Kelly's sister Jodie showed an orb near Kelly's leg.A picture taken by Kelly's sister Jodie showed an orb near Kelly's leg.

Shortly before the ghost hunt, CSI co-founder Vivien Powell, from Chatteris, explained how she’d been pushed while alone near the cellar earlier that evening.

She said: “I was kneeling to lay a baseline test down, had a funny feeling and got pushed nearly down the stairs.”

With the first ghostly encounter of the night under our belt, we waited for the pub to officially close before the investigation could begin.

After dark the popular local was transformed from a bustling pub into an eerily silent and lonely building which I could believe was home to restless spirits. History of the Dog in a Doublet

THE Dog in a Doublet dates back to about the 15th or 16th century. The front of the pub is the oldest part.

It’s believed that it was built because of the river. When a body was found in the river it was taken to the pub and stored while police investigated or someone collected the body.

There was a bench for the bodies and a curtain separating it from the rest of the pub.

Armed with equipment including infra-red cameras, motion cameras, voice recorders and machines that detect electromagnetic fields (EMF), plus enough tea and coffee to keep everyone going until well past 4am, we finally got down to business.

I was given an EMF machine and was told that if at any time it flashed or made a noise to get my camera out.

My group, led by fellow CSI co-founder Becky Cooper, also from Chatteris, first investigated the main bar. We sat in a corner in the dark, the only light source from two candles at the window.

Using dousing rods she discovered that we were in the presence of a woman from the 19th century who visited the pub for work and died on the river.

Eerily, when asked to give us a sign, one of the candles began flickering energetically and the flame grew bigger while the other candle didn’t move.

After moving to the oldest part of the bar – where a male ghost also made contact through the dousing rods – we went upstairs. In little groups, we stayed in various rooms of the flat with our equipment in the hope of catching something on camera.

However, at the end of the session we discovered that the video camera on the stairs leading to the flat had been unplugged.

After a short break it was time to head downstairs.

On the stairs leading to the function room – at the end of which a plasma ball was placed – my torch suddenly died. I was told this was normal as spirits feed off electricity.

My torch came back to life when we left the area. It flickered on and off for the rest of the time we were downstairs.

The next day at home, when testing the torch, the battery was full of life.

One of the most unexplained events of the evening happened on the stairs near the cellar.

My sister and I saw a T-shirt, which was hanging on a hook, moving from side to side as if an unseen hand was swishing it.

Alerting the rest of the group, the swaying of the shirt got faster when Becky asked for a sign that someone was there. Her EMF device also flashed.

Just before leaving at 4.30am, we were left with another unexplained event. A whistle went off in the direction of a toy whistle that had been deliberately placed behind the bar - and nobody was near it.

• The group will present its findings at a psychic supper at the pub on April 1. Tickets cost £10 and include a sausage and mash supper. Places can be booked by calling Becky on 01354 693228 or Vivien on 01354 692347.
