Previously, I talked about putting time limits on helping ghosts.
Of course, someone has to help spirits if they’re ready to be helped.
I don’t mean to discourage anyone from helping… if they can.
However, many ghosts seem to be lingering for reasons that aren’t especially healthy. They want [...]
Public sites are among my favorite locations for research, and also for training new team members.
I’ve also talked about the importance of using haunted cemeteries for those purposes. (That’s why I go into such detail in Ghost Hunting in Haunted Cemeteries.)
They’re still my most important research and [...]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows includes an excellent example of the effects of a residual energy haunting. It also helps to explain the difference between residual (or embedded) energy and a demonic possession.
In the popular books, Salazar Slytherin’s Locket contains the energy, and — in the context of the Harry Potter novels [...]
Poltergeist phenomena is controversial.
Some people think it’s not real, and all of it can be explained with normal (if odd) physics or trickery. Several incidents during the Bell Witch haunting are in that category.
Some people think that poltergeist activity is real, but it can be explained by psychokinesis (PK) [...]
Paranormal researchers often talk about debunking.
It’s important to understand what the word means.
“Debunk” is to de- (remove) bunk.
In turn, “bunk” is short for buncombe or bunkum. Originally, in 1850, the word referred to politics originating in the North Carolina (USA) county of Buncombe.
Within a dozen years, the word “bumcombe” meant “tall [...]
There are two opposing, polarized views of ghost hunting.
One side wants to debunk everything that seems like a ghost. The other side wants to believe in everything that seems like a ghost.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. I think most of us do our best to remain open-minded, keep our critical thinking [...]
In my recent article, Let’s Start a Revolution, I said that we need to stop using ghost-related TV shows as training tools, and view them as what they are: Entertainment.
Let me explain.
My problem isn’t with the ghost-related TV shows, per se. It’s with people using [...]
I’ve created a basic, one-page checklist for individuals and teams to use when looking for (mostly) normal explanations for odd phenomena.
It’s intended to remind you of the things to check, so you don’t overlook anything important.
From carbon monoxide to cold spots, and poltergeist evidence to pet reactions, the main pre-investigation items [...]
In my book, Is Your House Haunted?, I lead with the importance of double-checking for carbon monoxide.
Last winter (2009/2010), I began receiving emails that sounded like carbon monoxide could be involved. (I’d included it in my points in the previous version of my book.)
Later this [...]
Let’s start a revolution in paranormal research. Yes, you and me. Let’s make a difference.
For starters, let’s stop using ghost-related TV shows as teaching tools, and start viewing them as what they are: Entertainment.
Instead of copying what’s on TV, we can use solid research methods and really identify what’s haunted and what’s [...]
