Ghost Hunting: Now An Amusement Park Ride?

I just saw a ghost hunting group's ad on eBay. They are selling tickets for anyone to come along on one of their ghost hunting trips.

Let me get this straight... You are taking time to do a serious investigtion into the paranormal and you are willing to SELL TICKETS to anyone who might wish to come along? For WHAT PURPOSE???? Do these "ghost experts" offer THRILLS, CHILLS and SPINE-TINGLING EXCITEMENT? Is this a fucking amusement ride, or what?

The problem with ghost hunting groups today is this; Some sell out for monetary gain at anyone's expense - and show such little credibility in the process... Pay up, suckers. Cheers!

Mediums and Hans Holzer's Take On Effective Ghost Hunting

Hans Holzer was a famous paranormal investigator who believed that ghost hunting without a medium to aid you - was a pointless adventure. In many of his books he wrote of his adventures with mediums. Many ghost hunters don't know a true medium who can aid them in spirit communication. So where does that leave them to be effective in the field?

Why is it that ghost hunters record spirit voices, take pictures, record video, use electronic gadgets to conduct investigations - and yet will not conduct seances or use tools for communication with these spirits? It's actually quite strange when you think about it... I think it's because of one main thing; Fear stops them. Fear of the dead following them home, haunting them, causing chaos in their homes, possession, etc.

Do we dare continue to hunt for ghosts and NOT try to do anything any better than what we HAVE DONE? Shall we sit at home and watch people on TV do things the same ways that we do (or worse than we do) and not go one step further in our research efforts? Do we not use the Ouija because we are scared to let spirits, demons, etc into the homes and buildings we already are asked to investigate? I don't think that the experienced investigators are scared to attempt the use of the Ouija board. They just forgot to try it up until now. Too many ghost hunters online have warned NOT to use such things during an investigation. Why were we warned? Are they effective?

If you don't know of a medium to go along with you on an investigation, why not use a Ouija board in order to communicate? It would serve to aid in proving the existence of a named spirit - or it could help to identify the ones no one knows by name. There are many websites and books dedicated to safely using the Ouija board for communication. There are a few books written about the dangers of the Ouija board.

If you have thoughts or comments, have at it. Just use your real identity and try not to to post anonymously. Cheers!

Dabbling In The Occult

Ghost Hunters are known to record the voices of disembodied spirits - aka EVP. Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Investigators tend to stay away from using seances, automatic writing, Ouija boards, and other tools to communicate with the dead.


Some people probably wonder why those that hunt for ghosts do not use such devices as Ouija boards. After 11 years of investigating myself, I have had thoughts on this subject. Recently, it has become apparent that merely investigating a haunting isn't enough. Why do we seek to find the spirits of those inhabiting homes, old buildings, cemeteries, etc? We do it to find evidence of a haunting - and to share that evidence with the property owners and the general public, when permitted to disclose such information afterward.

The Ouija board is a historic tool used to communicate with the deceased. The ancient Greeks used table games to communicate with the dead. Most people think of Ouijas as dating back to the 19th century - but the art of spirit communication goes back to much earlier times.

Why do we shy away from using tools of communication such as the Ouija board? Are we afraid of what lies beyond that thin veil between our world and the world of the dead? Do we not see that by ghost hunting, we are only receiving (at best using sound recording methods) one-way communications with the spirit world? Should we seek to communciate in a more powerful, two-way form of communication instead? What good are EVPs when we cannot speak to those we record? It may be time to take simple ghost hunting in a more dangerous direction. Did I say dangerous? Yes, I did. Some say that using a device for divination such as the Ouija board is a dangerous practice. It's highly possible that the spirits contacted can enter our world through the portals we open while using such a device - but here's a question for you; If spirits are haunting this world anyway, who opened these portals? Is it true that we may open portals all the time by normal actions? OR... Are "portals" a bullshit term to scare people into shying away from spirit communication?

These thoughts and MORE will be discussed in my upcoming entries. For now, CHEERS!

Fire Hurricanes Could Signal The End of The World

I just heard the term "fire hurricanes" - referring to the possibilities of US hurricanes mixing with oil in Gulf of Mexico. These hurricanes, when mixing with oil, could be hit by lightning and become deadly.

This theory immediately made me think on christian beliefs. God promised, after the floods of the Earth where God had instructed Noah to build an ark, that he would destroy the Earth a second time - by fire.

What a way to end it all! What an ironic way to think about the end of Earth! We humans leave oil in the waters, God uses it, and nature, to destroy us! Cheers!

Resurrecting the dead things

The old F.G.I. message board is still alive - but hasn't been actively used in years! I invite you all to join it and have a little fun in ... bringing it back to life! HAHAHAHA!
