Bizarre ghost session at the Landmark...




This was a very strange session in an investigation at the infamous Landmark Antique shop in Bluefield, WV.   A strange light going on and off in a mirror behind me,  k2 readings all over, including on my chest, the bed moving, and me seemingly being spoken THROUGH answering a question I did not even really hear.  Watch for all of this, and then watch the video camera start moving all by itself, on a separate dresser from the bed.

HMMM?



Look closely at this.  It is a turn of the century TIN photo,  and is amazing to see in the first place.  But, look behind the tallest standing man, at the even taller ghostly figure, appearing to be watching over the photo.  I do not know what kind of technology was available at the time, but this is astounding to me.. hope you see this, and find it as interesting...

Asking the question---DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE DEAD?

I have been watching so many groups over the past year get so wrapped up in trying to show themselves off as experts when they get a voice.  They seem to think that it is enough if they get one more voice than someone else.  So many seem to think that they can say ANYTHING to a spirit and not get a return investment.  This is so not true.  When you go to a specifically  haunted location, one that has been reported to be one of THE most haunted places,  you had better expect to get evidence, and voices, if you are one that the spirits will be able to trust.  Or you could get responses directly related to your efforts.  How long is it going to take for the general investigator to see that it is NEVER enough to just get reactive communication.  It is the obligation of the true investigator to attempt to gain insight into the desire of the spirit, and to assist it to reach the next destination if possible. 


Recently I have been to several of the known haunted locations in our country again.  To Waverly Sanitarium, the Trans Allegheny Asylum, and the Knickerbocker Hotel.  This does not even include our own haunted school in Bluefield West Virginia, and the infamous Landmark Antique shop also there.  I have seen activity in places for years that is supposed to be related to ghost activity.  So as a true dedicated investigator, do you go to a place for a family, or a business owner, just to get voices and impress? Or do you go to help the individuals understand more about their situation, and help them cope and understand.  Who are you?  How are you with the spirits? Why are you there, and what is your intention?  Here is my side of what a true investigator will be, what he will attempt to do, what he is there for, and ultimately what he may be responsible for. 


You meet a spirit.  In a place where they have been reported for years.  What is your first question?  How do you introduce yourself?  Do you try to know WHO the spirit is immediately?  


Forget the attempt to be dramatic.  Gain as much information as possible before you enter a haunted location, and then stop and introduce yourself.  See if you can gain the immediate trust , see if you can build rapport.  SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE.  Should you get the attention of the spirit, then this is where this blog starts.  Do you immediately go to probing the spirit with question after question?   No.  NO.  N O .  I speak for myself now, so I say that i attempt to get the spirit to stay close to me for a short time, and feel the non threatening manner I give them.  I tell them after a few minutes I would want them to walk and talk with me, as a typical friend would.  I NEVER go right into a question.  The spirit will know you through and through immediately, and you will be judged.  They have seen people for longer than most of us have been around, they know us.  


So have you gained trust at this point?  The FIRST thing I ask them is to try to trust that I am there for them and not myself.  RESPECT is of the utmost importance.  If they stay with me on emf meter for a few moments, and I feel they are able to not feel threatened, then I ask them how they are, and if they would like me to do anything for them.  Remember you are there for them.  I want to find out of they are going through the motions of their former life, or stranded in a place of middle ground, neither here nor there, Purgatory, if you will.  


You do NOT want to shock them with something if they have rapport with you.  To get to the place where you can get the most impactful response,  you want to have the patience of Job.  


To my spirits, the ones I know,  I will not get into even a second night with them if they do not know I am not there for me.  They know me, and discuss things.  It has been evidenced on numerous investigations and ghost tours.  To ask the most honest question, you have to be in a place to feel as if someone is asking that of you.  


DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE DEAD?  How would you feel if you were lying in a hospital bed from a car accident, and someone came in and asked you if you were in a car wreck.  What would you respond like if someone asked you a painfully obvious question ?  Think from a point of respect, and you will be able to ask this, and in most cases not damage your rapport with the spirit.  But what if you make a mistake and ask this, and it upsets the spirit?  What do you do?    Watch your equipment, and trust your senses.  When you ask this,  do you feel a change in the atmosphere?  Do you feel the spirit go from person to mist, or vapor?  Remember when you anger a living being, you can see it on them.  You do not have the ability to see that in a spirit, you have to absolutely trust your instincts, and your senses.   So did you get an immediate response?  If you did, was it that they knew they were dead, or did NOT realize they had passed on.   Here is where we each are different.  This is the point where the true investigator will get responses.  This is where the human can gain ultimate control of the situation, if the trust remains after you get this specific answer from the spirit.  


So NOW you have the most important life moment of the spirit in your knowledge.  There can be no more blatant and honest trust between the human and the ghost.  This is the one moment when you have to decide who you really are, and what you really want to do, either TO the spirit, or FOR the spirit.  Will you ask them to take your hand and walk out of the place they are lost?  Who are you going to be at the single most important moment in a ghosts life?


My plea to you is respect the spirit at all times.  No matter what.  Respect can even keep a demon at bay momentarily, until you can get the proper personnel and assistance.  There is nothing more important to a spirit than them feeling that you are there truly to help them.  Relate it to the dog so happy you fed it that he runs and jumps at you to lick you and be happy.  Or when the cat eats all the choice food you put out for it, and then comes to you in nuzzling thanks, and you know that for that day you did nothing more important than assist your loved one.  relate it any way you wish,  just understand that I have been to spirit places and seen how the spirit are so untrusting because of the previous investigators.  What one investigator or team does, leaves an impression with the spirits, and they will see the next group much more warily, and trust will have to be rebuilt.  You are INVESTIGATORS, your actions have an impact on the rest of the other investigators.   In a place where tours are given weekly, or even nightly,  the ghosts watch every living being pass by, and will only single out a few to respond to, and possibly not even so that the human knows it.  


Be the person the spirit needs.  Concentrate on compassion, and conviction.  SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, and MEAN WHAT  YOU SAY.  We CAN learn from each other, if we remember we go to the haunted places to help the spirits, and not to just put them on display.  Forget the competition,  and feel the rapport.  We are here for a time, and then we move on.  Leave the energy peaceful in your wake, and we can all help each other, and gain the answers we have been seeking for so many years.


My blog, my words, and you know me.  I am true to the spirits and their distress.  Few can run with me down the ghost path.  I am very intense, and if you do not have compassion and conviction, the spirits will not feel you as a friend.  BE REAL, FOR THE SPIRITS.  PLEASE, JUST BE REAL..............................................

Strange Sights of all types of colored masses




These are more of what we see very frequently on the Bluefield Ghost Tours, and also on Investigations in this most historic and haunted mountain city.

The OTHER side of Mirrors...




I love mirrors, as you can see from these.  All of them are from Bluefield's Ghost Tours, and all have something in them that seems very unexplainable, and even possibly from another space and time.

A Top 10 list of the Most Haunted!

Signs Of Ghosts -- Our Take On Orbs

We here at SOG would like to clarify our position on the highly controversial paranormal subject of Orbs.  Having captured orbs in every form and color for the past thirty five years, we have seen about every type of Orb imagined.  Roll camera film has been used, and digital film also.  the staggering amount of orbs we have captured have been thrown out as nothing but particulate, be it either from dust, rain particles, humidity, pollen, grass, wheat (in fields) snow,  or anything you might be able to see in the air if you know what to look for.  In this regard, we feel that most Orbs are NOT paranormal in nature.

Indoors,  orbs can come from carpeted flooring that has been disrupted.  In abandoned buildings it can come from dust, or general construction debris on the floor.  Some disturbed dust in the air can float around for hours, and I mean many hours. Anyone smoking on an investigation can put floating particulate into the air, and this can give false photographic evidence.  If you are doing an investigation in a place where numerous people are,  you will more than likely have a great deal of photos with orbs in them.  Orbs can and most of the time will be in a photo where a human has been moving around. 

Now that you know we do not feel most orbs are a true measure of most paranormal situations,  we also want to state that we feel some specific orbs do tell a story, and will be considered paranormal when all manner of human contamination can be ruled out.  In our Ghost Tour office in Bluefield, WV, we post photos from our tours and investigations, all over our walls.  Of all the photos we can see every day on the walls, less than one percent of them will be of an orb.  

One thing we look for to make an orb photo more legitimate, are mass, distance, and movement.  Some orbs will appear to peek around a corner, wall, or a tree or other object.  If we see this, we can judge general distance.  That is a good starting point.  We then see if the orb can be qualified or quantified for size, in relation to its position.  Keep in mind that there is NO SCIENTIFIC METHOD for judging or measuring an orb.  We try to use normal logic, in relation to the living.  If we can judge distance, and weight, we have a much better idea of the legitimacy of an orb.  Does it form a pattern, in a set of photos?  Does it seem to follow a person, or thing?  Are there any characteristics of the orb at all that make you feel it is repeating itself, for a specific purpose.  Many factors are involved in our attempt to quantify or qualify only the orbs that we feel above all others might be legitimate. 

There are many more things to take into account for orb legitimacy.  These are just a few of the methods we use.  We will not write a thesis on this topic, we just wanted you to know how we stand within our organization.  We feel we have captured more evidence of the paranormal than a lot of other groups, but do not speak loudly of this.  We have our evidence up on our walls, and our pages.  You will rarely if ever see us post a photo of an orb, even though we believe in the smallest one percent of all orbs being possibly other than normal.  

For more information from us on our views, or our evidence, please follow us on our page here.
  
Thank you so much for stopping by, and feel free to reply to us over any topic anytime!

From Mark, Michael, and all of our team.  Stay in touch, we love the paranormal company!

Earth's groaning...

Are people causing the Earth to groan painfully?


This has been happening for years, but only special equipment used to capture it.  Now, it is being heard by natural ears, all around the world.  Listen to some of these pieces, and then let me know what you feel.  It amazes me how we are now all starting to feel the change coming...

Tonight's white paper


So many people feel they are qualified to talk about the paranormal, in ways that seem so arrogant at times.  I have seen some post things that everyone SHOULD KNOW, about what we do.  So who exactly is an expert?  NO ONE is an expert in the field of the paranormal.  I speak for myself when I say that what I present to you as evidence has been studied and scrutinized by several people with years of experience in seeing things OTHER than normal.  I post things that we honestly feel at Signs Of Ghosts are not seen as something that can normally happen.  After all, if WE feel that something is paranormal, and we are the only ones that do, then is it really paranormal?  If you absolutely state that a mist in an open outside area is not your breath on a cold night, or not smoke from your cigarette, then should I take your word alone?  Exactly what is the trust factor in what we do?  Should we take things at face value, and not question?  NO.  We should be a healthy skeptic, while being a true believer.  I for one believe that spirits are real, as real as you or I, and they can do anything in their state as they did when they were alive.  I do not doubt the presence of a spirit when every sense I have is alerted in a place we have been called to investigate.  I give credit to the spirit for being trusting enough to stay close, and I encourage that effort from them.  
I am constantly criticized because I get consistent readings in places of known haunted activity.  I get readings at times in the same general areas, and at times get consistent names from our speaking devices.  People say that spirits do not act on command. BUT they WILL act by request.  IF they trust you, they will interact with you, especially if they grow more comfortable with your demeanor.  Understand that I feel the spirits have been all seeing since the time of their death, and the longer it goes on, the less they will have the desire to interact unless they feel a  comradery with me or you, if you are really helping them.  I feel that when I do help them, they will really walk out a door with me to freedom, or to the white light.  That has happened to me no more than on two hands.  When it happens,  it is like no help I have ever done even for the living.  The spirits are more thankful to me than even the living.  MOST of the time.
  
DONE.  


That is tonight's white paper. Make no mistakes about me, I live to help the lost.  I will do what ever it is they want, when I know they are not from Hell.  I stand my ground, but when I need help, the priest's are only a call or shout away, ever.  


Thank you for reading!

More VERY Informative things to ponder...


Spirits or Ghosts Theories: Types of Hauntings



Residual and Intelligent are two of the most popular theories on spirits, ghosts and possible hauntings.
In residual haunting, psychic energy from ghosts is strong at the exact place where the person died which is brought about by a sudden emotional release. This scenario happens as a result of a painful happening such as disastrous accident and unexpected or sudden death. It could also be the result from cheerful circumstances such as a party and a play.

The energy of a sudden death seems to stay in a place where the event happened. The residual energy often gets detected by specific equipment or by individuals who are sensitive to this kind of energy. It could also be noticed by smell, sight, sound, touch or taste.

Video recording can be compared to residual psychic energy haunting. Similar to a tape in a video recording, the event in which a substantial outbreak of emotional energy happens is being recorded by the surroundings in a location. Then the event can be replayed by the environment which is similar to a video recording. The recorded event could be simple footsteps, speaking or whispering voices, or it could even the actual appearance of an apparition or ghost.

It is thought that the apparition in a residual psychic energy haunting does not appear to be aware on the presence of observers. The psychic energy’s repetitive actions can sometimes similar to the features of a site prior to the event. An example for this is when a spirit or a ghost passing through a solid wall wherein doors were there before and no longer there at present.

In intelligent haunting, an individual meets a smart, interactive ghost that can be recognized by noise, vision, scent, taste or touch. Theory is that psychic energy evidently consists of the fundamental character of a person's awareness, identity, intelligence, heart and soul, etc. and that it continues to exist. Intelligent hauntings can communicate, ask and answer queries, move items and perhaps touch.

So why do they stay around a certain environment? Theories for this kind of tendency range from unexpected and sudden death, having some “unfinished business”, affection for a living loved ones or residence. Intelligent hauntings have been known by use of different audio/visual devices, to obtain ghost videos and ghost noises, and several eyewitness reports.

Most Excellent Information!


Einstein’s Laws & Ghost Existence



Ghost Hunters often go at night in old buildings, abandoned properties and cemeteries looking for ghosts along with their electronic equipment that they think can help them find ghostly energy.

Are ghosts real? This question remains unanswered as there is no good proof that ghosts exist. Some ghost hunters think that modern physics provides support for the presence of ghosts. Particularly from that of Albert Einstein, who is one of the most respected scientists of all time.

Ghost researcher John Kachuba wrote on his book that Einstein demonstrated that all the energy of the universe is constant; cannot be created and destroyed. According to Einstein, the energy will transform into another form of energy upon dying based on the theory that it cannot be destroyed. Therefore, the new energy will form. Could it be this newly form energy becomes a ghost?

It is noted that when humans are still alive, electrical energies are present in the body. These energies cause the heart to beat and make breathing possible. So, what will happen to these energies when human dies?

The answer may be simple and not that complicated. When person dies, the energy in the body goes into the environment just like any other organisms. After a person dies his/her energy will be released in the form of heat and the animal that will eat that person will get the energy. The plants that absorb the body of the deceased person will also get the energy and if that person is being cremated, his/her energy will be released in the form of heat and light.
