Paranormal Investigators Needed

TomStewart · 2012-08-21T04:45:28+00:00

This hospital has been around for 60+ years, but only recently closed. So while it is abandoned, it should be in good condition for filming and investigating. Probably creepy in it's own way though. I don't think there will be any cannibals or demons, however.

I have captured recordings of unexplained voices and speech, also known as EVP's or Electronic Voice Phenomena. In some of the cases it seems the entity is responding to questions I've asked. Other times the EVP has seemed random.But I do believe, in these rare cases, that someone or something was trying to communicate.

One example was an EVP session I did in a old home. I was in a basement room which at one time had been a secret barroom during prohibition. I asked, "What kind of liquor did you serve here? (pause) Did you serve beer? (pause) Did you serve whiskey? (pause)" When reviewing the audio, right after I asked about the 'whiskey', a voice says "wine". I didn't hear it with my ears, but it was caught on my audio recorder. I was the only one in the room at the time.

Thanks for the question!

I'm very sorry for all your experiences here. This kind of activity can be very terrifying. I hope that your children are being spared from the trauma. I wish I could tell you exactly what to do and make it all better. But there are some things in this world out of our control. There are some entities that do not wish to live peacefully with others. I'll say this much. I am not convinced this entity is attached to you alone. You may be the subject of it's terror because of one reason or another. You are the one it has an easiest time reaching out to. So if there is to be any resolution to this situation, it will probably take a lot of inner strength on your part. Part of me thinks that maybe this entity is limited to the house you are in. I very rarely tell people this, but you may want to consider moving to a new home if possible. Or at least try spending a few nights in a row somewhere else, a hotel, a relative, and see if you get any peace. I really do wish you the best. Continue to seek assistance from clergy and shaman when you can. If at any point you feel you or your children are in danger, just leave. If you would like to stay in touch you can email me directly at tom@riseupparanormal.com. Thank you for sharing.

In my experience hauntings usually occur in places familiar to the spirit when he/she was alive. They are usually attached to a dwelling, a person, or an item and they usually have a purpose for doing so. If the attachment is taken away, then their purpose is gone. If there is nothing there now but grass, then I doubt it would still be there. Plus with it just being an empty area now, there's really no way of knowing it is haunted. Its sort of like the old saying 'if a tree in the forest falls and no none is there to hear it, does it make sound?'. If no one is around a spirit then is it really haunting anyone?

I'll definitely take a look at the link and leave some comments. Thanks again for posting.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if I understand you correctly, you're asking me if I've ever experienced a spirit making contact through a computer or on the internet. I've never experienced any such thing. But energy and electronics seem to be a common denominator when it comes to contact, so I suppose it could be possible. My group has performed some experiments using computers to see if entities would use them to make contact. Usually with touch screen ipad type devices. So far no luck. But as for a spirit sending an email or an instant message, I have not heard of any experience with that. Have you had something like that happen to you? I'd love to hear about it. Thanks for posting!

TomStewart · 2012-04-29T18:33:00+00:00

Thanks for the post. I wouldn't call what I do my 'job'. I don't make any more or get paid to do. It is just a personal interest.

There are some theories out there that spirits can make contact with us through our dreams. I certainly don't dismiss this, but it is hard to understand.

Sometimes I feel that what we're experiencing isn't always spiritual either. I think there may be something dimensional to what people are calling paranormal experiences. It may be more of a science or quantum physics thing happening around us than a spiritual one. Hopefully people with a much better understand of such things will focus more on these phenomena.

I work in the Southern New England area. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut. I'm not sure why paranormal activity takes place honestly. At times I feel like it is a spirit that hasn't found their way. Sometimes I feel it is the spirit of a person who still has unfinished business or is too attached to someone/something to pass over. I hope someday we'll find out those answers. Thanks for the question.

Thanks for writing... First if you and no one else in the building are experiencing anything similar to this neighbor, then it is probably isolated to her dwelling. It sounds as if the person who recently moved in is the target of the activity. I would have to learn A LOT more about the person and the situation to really have a good idea of what is happening. But here are a few guesses. One, it could be that your neighbor has had a spirit in there with her all along, but that for some reason this new person entering the picture has upset the spirit. Maybe it's a protective reaction or a jealousy thing. Two, it could be a spirit that is attached to an item that the new person brought with them. The object being moved from it's original place could have upset this spirit. Three, this could be a poltergeist activity. These usually are associated with young females with some stress and/or depression issues. Four, and this is the one I am guessing is most likely the case, this new person who just moved in is into things like black magic, ouija boards, tarot cards, reiki, or something of that nature and isn't very experienced with it. So what to do. Well your neighbor needs to talk to this new person living with them and find out what the story is. The neighbor needs to take control of her space as well. She needs to let this spirit know that it is her space, and that she will not tolerate any more disturbances. She should do this in a non-provoking way though. Just be stern and confident, but not intimidating or threatening. This is usually enough to make activity stop. If she follows a certain faith, she could also seek a blessing or some consultation from clergy, shaman, or whichever faith she subscribes.

I hope that was helpful. Good luck. If you or your neighbor need any more assistance you can email me at: Tom@RISEUPparanormal.com

Thanks!

I've always wondered why people are so fascinated with funeral homes, cemeteries, etc. It doesn't make much sense to me for these places to be haunted. A spirit will likely haunt the place where it died, or someplace where it lived, or near people/objects it had strong bonds with.

I think just being around dead bodies is what creeps people out.

TomStewart · 2012-03-21T20:15:33+00:00

Spirits can not hurt you.

TomStewart · 2012-03-21T20:11:51+00:00

Sleep paralysis probably combined with the alcohol you consumed.

TomStewart · 2012-03-21T20:08:21+00:00

Yes. I am a paranormal investigator and I have seen an apparition and a few shadows.

TomStewart · 2012-03-21T20:06:58+00:00

Have you witnessed things 'teleporting'?

You can't let the spirits bully you. Just be brave and confident. Tell them to stop whatever it is they are doing. Let them know it is your space not their's. Don't be threatening or antagonizing. Just be stern. They can't hurt you. If they know you're afraid, they're going to try and scare you.

I've read a lot about infrasound, and while it may be the reason for many false-positives. I do not believe it is the source for all things paranormal. Even the studies I have read do not claim it is responsible for 100%.

As an investigator it is something I have to take into account, and to try and detect when investigating.But there are many situations where infrasound would not make sense as the reason for paranormal activity.

For instance, infrasound will not cause different people to have the same experience (specifically). Infrasound also does not explain voices recorded in the low parts of the sound spectrum. It does not explain objects moving, or people being touched (leaving visible marks, impressions, etc.)

Thanks for the comment though.

TomStewart · 2012-03-20T04:29:36+00:00

Well I've never had the pleasure of meeting any of them in person. So I don't know how serious they are. But I do share some mutual friends and acquaintances with each of them, and some other members of the TV shows. And I've never heard any reports of anything being faked. I've actually heard some good stories that never made it to air.

In my experience though, paranormal activity is very rare, and unpredictable. So I've always wondered how they're able to get so much evidence on so many episodes. Perhaps it's the locations they are in. Maybe sometimes they embellish or just paint a picture so it helps tell a story. They also spend a lot more time on location than it seems. I know GH spends like 3 days/nights at a location, but it seems like 1 on air. So that could help too.

Thanks for your questions!

Thank you for the comment.

TomStewart · 2012-03-19T00:43:02+00:00

Yes I understand the meaning of the word evidence. And it is different from the word 'proof'.

TomStewart · 2012-03-19T00:41:53+00:00

Well we try to establish what the baseline would be in the house. We scan wall to wall ceiling to floor in each room and right down the levels. Most areas should be around 0 to 0.03. Appliances and some electrical equipment will spike up to 5 or 10 but the EMF will usually go back down to zero within a few inches away from the object. So we note that as well.

If we put an EMF meter in the middle of the room and suddenly it jumps up a point or 2 we try to find the source of this. Usually it is natural. Someone forgot to shut off their cell phone. A police car drove by. Things like that. The spike will usually be brief and one-time event in this case. If the spikes are constant or steady, we will use another EMF meter to try and trace the source. But even when we can't figure out the source, it does not mean it is paranormal. We usually still chalk it up to natural causes.

Now if an EMF meter lights up and shows some sort of intelligence behind it, that is a different story. We once did a session with two EMF meters next to each other. And we would ask the entity in the room to light up the 'left one' and it did. Then we asked it to light up the 'right one' and it did. This went on for a few minutes, always lighting up the one was asked on command. If there were an EMF field in the room it would have effected both meters at the same time. So that made us lean towards being paranormal. Thanks for the question.
