ANGELIC RETREAT ( A WORKSHOP BY IPT) IF U WANT IT TO BE CONDUCTED IN YOUR CITY THEN MAIL US TO indianparanormalists@gmail.com


Angelic Retreat

In today’s world we have forgotten our spiritual path as we try to be more materialistic. In this we sacrifice our good health and mental strength. There are various ailments and they are spreading rapidly as people have become more susceptible to these ailments. There had to be a way to make sure that we gain a lot in spirituality in a short span of time.
During the Angelic Retreat you revitalize your body and relax your mind. The panch mahabhuta meditation brings you closer to the nature and gets those 5 elements of your body in sync with those in the nature. This helps in bringing in positive changes in your life. 
The chakras are the parts of your ethereal body. You need those to be in proper shape to keep healthy. Learn to keep your chakras in shape through chakra meditation.
The best part of the retreat lies where you can get photographs of all the positive energy you call. You might be lucky enough to capture an angel too!

About Akshai Sthalekar :

He is a known spiritual healer and a counsellor. With various miraculous healings under his belt, he has now diverted his attention to mass healings. This retreat is a way of his healing. As guided and instructed by Lord Shiva and Mahavtar Babaji, he can heal a person’s chakras without touching the person’s body. This was proven by dowsing experts and through Energy Biofield Viewer. He has also healed many psychic attacks where people have seen changes within seconds. His client base is spread across the world with clients pouring in from USA, UK, Singapore, Oman, Australia, Germany etc.
He developed this concept of Angelic Retreat to spread positivity among people and help them to get the best out of themselves. This retreat helps people to get to the raw form and this in turn will help in better health and life. This is a quick way to progress on the spiritual path as we are moving towards the materialistic goals in life.

Poltergeist:

 This means noisy ghosts or an angry ghost who cannot accept they are dead. The easiest target is children since feeding off its fear gives it energy, momentum, & the attention it wants. Poltergeist are said to move objects, bite, growl, scratch, scare, hit, push, vandalize, start fires & so much more. Poltergeist are also the ghosts we create with our mind like a false ghost our minds create when usually our brain is overwhelmed (a form of psychosis). Nobody is sure if these are even ghosts or souls. They may be an entity of some other kind, not as bad as demons perhaps, but they will scare you. Poltergeist are usually thought of as very violent spirits who would feed off of your fear & grow in power. However new studies show that its very possible they are manifestations of our own psychosis. Meaning, John Doe is real stressed out & perhaps he keeps his emotions in. Well his brain manifests these emotions into the form of objects violently flying in a room, voices, things of that sort.

Unfinished Business

Another theory is that a spirit will stay behind after the physical body dies if they have unfinished business. We can apply this theory to many examples, such as a soldier standing guard years after his division was wiped out. Perhaps an old field doctor still trying to save the casualties of war long after peace has been declared. Perhaps a mother on her way home to care for her children, but doesn't make it home because of a car accident that took her life.

All of these things may seem like a very inadequate reason to give up the afterlife in favor of an eternity of guard duty, but if you think about it, how many times have you said " I have got to get this done." How many times have we all said " If I just get this done, I can rest" or " If I just get here, I'll be done & home soon." I know I've said it a million times. All we think about is completing that task. So what happens if we die before getting it done? What if our death is quick & we don't even realize it, as in the third theory I listed? Many believe we continue trying to complete that task into the afterlife.

Many cases, including one I'll write later on this page, document soldiers being seen at forts, still standing guard or performing their duties as they did many years ago. Gettysburg is an excellent example of soldiers & field doctors still carrying out their orders & operations. Many of these stories can be found in Mark Nesbitt's Ghosts of Gettysburg books. He currently has 4 books that not only give great stories about the ghosts that dwell in Gettysburg, but they also provide a detailed history of the events that transpired in these haunted areas.

A mother's love may also keep her behind, protecting those she loved & those who resemble the ones she loved. In many cases, a family living in an old house have found they live with a helpful spirit. Perhaps picking up objects & putting them in their proper places or even warning a family of a fire starting in the late night hours. One case in particular documents a mother who was awakened in the middle of the night by the figure of an old woman. This figure had motioned the mother to follow, which she did. The mother followed the spirit into the children's room where she had found that a small night-lite had sparked a small flame that was slowly moving up the wall. The mother was able to snuff out the fire without anyone getting hurt. When she remembered the figure of the old woman, she found the figure had vanished. Later, it was discovered that an old woman had died in the house with her three children. The cause of their deaths had been a fire in the house.

Perhaps the human will to get things done is strong enough to stop our journey into the next world. Perhaps these are also imprints that are another exception to the rule, interacting with those of us who still live on this world.

In April 2013, the follow article was published:

Not long ago we were talking to a good friend, Betsy Summers. Well known in local political circles, Ms. Summers had told us previously about this “haunted house” she was taking care of. Betsy told us that she heard someone walking around on the floor above her when no one was home, and that a former resident moved out of a bedroom because something used to shake the bed. She had heard stories of a suicide taking place in the home. As a couple of enthusiasts who are eager to document the paranormal, help folks with their haunts and help spirits move on, well, we just had to take Betsy up on an offer to spend some time at 46 South Welles Street in Wilkes-Barre City.

A quick check of deed records told us who currently owns the home and that the structure is more than 100 years old. The section of Wilkes-Barre where the present day Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, Jewelcor Building, Boulevard Townhomes, etc. are located was once an industrial area consisting of factories, warehouses and one big, crowded railroad yard where five railroad companies met and did business. This section of the city extended from Conyngham Avenue in on the north side to Dana Street on the south. As Wilkes-Barre grew during the industrial boom following the Civil War, this particular portion of the city expanded. New streets were laid out in what would become the Heights section. Most of these postbellum streets were named after prominent Civil War figures, so proceeding up East Northampton street hill, one first encounters Lincoln Street, aptly named after President Lincoln. The next intersection is at Welles Street, named after the Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, followed by Hancock Street, named after General of the Army, Winfield Hancock. The haunted house’s location clearly lies squarely within a 100+ year old segment of Wilkes-Barre.

Arriving at 46 South Welles Street one night in November of 2012, we were not disappointed. Now, I grew up in a haunted house and this place sure looked the part. If there was a creepy-looking haunted house on the block, this one was it!

So, finally at the site, we took a look around and called Betsy. Since she lives nearby, she just popped over and opened the building for us—our first walk-through was definitely not a letdown.

The home had been recently vacated by an elderly woman who was now deceased, and it was in the process of being cleaned out by Betsy. Upon entering the home—while still daylight—the energy was palpable. Even though empty, the house felt “occupied.” While Betsy showed my partner around the basement, I decided to have a look at the upstairs level. Ascending the stairs to the second floor, this investigator witnessed a bright flash of light like a tiny flashbulb at the top of the stairs, near the ceiling, and without the aid of any equipment.

Now, I have found that the longer I investigate the more I see with my own eyes, but this was something to behold: an extremely energetic manifestation of a spirit that had no qualms letting the living know it was there. For a moment, time stopped. Hustling down the stairs, I rushed to get a camera and positioned it to record up the stairway in hopes of catching this anomaly once again.

Coming up from the basement, Betsy and my partner were met by excited energy—mine. I reported what I had just seen, at which point Betsy decided it was time to leave. Since this was our first walk-through we hadn’t brought a pile of equipment or people, only two investigators, in fact, and four cameras, four digital voice recorders and three electromagnetic field detectors was the extent of our outfitting.

Quickly, one infrared video camera was placed at the bottom of the first floor stairs. Another camera was set up at the top. A third was trained on the living room, while the fourth became mobile with the two of us.

Now began our formal walk-through. Armed with a digital still camera, infrared video camera, digital voice recorder, and two different electromagnetic field detectors, we commenced our assessment by entering the basement. The basement was damp, complete with cobwebs, field stone walls, a dirt floor and a ceiling height of 6’. Several energetic light anomalies were seen; these have become know in popular culture as “orbs.” One was particularly energetic and kept moving, and fortunately avoiding us. As we attempted communication via our digital voice recorders we, too heard what Betsy had described as “someone” walking upstairs above us.

Having completed our communication session, we moved up to the first floor. More “orbs” were spotted, high electromagnetic fields were detected and attempts to communicate with the deceased made. While moving through the living room area, this investigator experienced physical contact, the sensation of walking through a “spider web.” This effectively constituted coming in contact with moving spirit energy and was experienced right in the middle of the living room.

As we advanced to the second floor, an insanely high electromagnetic field in the 30 milligauss range was detected halfway up the stairs. This reading extended from the second floor to the first in the middle of the air in the front hallway. Putting this in perspective, this is the sort of reading which is given off, for example, by the typical older clock radio. It seemed to come and go, changing in intensity.

Working through each individual bedroom, we had a high region of electromagnetic activity in a small front bedroom on the second floor. We were later told that the deceased homeowner moved to this small room and spent her final days there. Leaving this room, we encountered a highly energetic electromagnetic field now at the tops of the stairs. After an attempt at communication, this field was tracked to the nearby bathroom.

As my partner and I vacated the second floor we were of the shared opinion that as in many other “haunted” homes, the stairs were a nexus for activity in this one. Walking down the stairs we were met by a disembodied voice, a voice heard with the human ear. It yelled, “Hey!” This was later verified, captured on the audio of the camera situated at the bottom of the stairs along with the digital voice recorder.

After reviewing evidence from the initial walk-through, a significant amount of activity was noted. A second visit was then planned to include additional equipment as well as another investigator. This follow-up visit rivaled the first, and also documented impressive activity. The final tally of still photos is 589, and the totality of video and audio evidence? No less than 72 hours gathered from an array of devices. -WilkesBarreScrantonIG

Have you ever noticed the difference between a good commercial haunted house & one that is just okay. The good one will have activities happening outside, while you wait in line. This mentally "prepares" you to become scared. this is exactly what several "reality based" television shows replicate to prepare their contestants before taking them to the "haunted" location.

Of course, this does not mean that there isn't a ghost or haunting occurring behind all the strange happenings, but it is important to understand that the fear & human mind can in voluntarily create an atmosphere of unnecessary terror.

The truth is that 99 percent of haunting cases are not violent & non intrusive. There is almost nothing to be afraid of. Most of the terror felt comes from a fear of the unknown, an instinctive method of human survival. Through education & understanding we are able to realize that ghost are not here to threaten thus & in many of the cases the ghost are unaware of the presence of living individuals. Many people who have learned to live with ghosts inside their homes have described as an enlightening spiritual experience

Always consider all aspects of a haunting. Go into an investigation with a kind heart & gracious attitude. But know that most hauntings can be explained; i.e. house settling, furnace noises etc. As sad as it is, you must also consider the mental & emotional state of the victim as well. Paranoia, delusional aspects & mental illness in general may be a consideration. As a final note; it should also be stated however, that in some cases, an unstable person can actually be open to these types of attacks. 

Natural and Fraudulent Apparitions

A majority of all ghost reports will end up being false. This simply means that there is a logical & natural explanation for the occurrences being mistaken for something supernatural. It's the ghost hunter's job to find & eliminate all rational explanations. Once the normal possibilities have been ruled out the ghost hunter can then begin to investigate for more supernatural answers.

On the other side of the mistaken ghost sightings are the fraudulent reports. Individuals may fake a ghost sighting for any number of reasons. Maybe they are just trying to have fun & see if they can trick someone. Or this may be their way of getting attention. It could be a publicity stunt. It could even be a case of mental illness or schizophrenia on the part of the witness, which is not fraudulent. It's important for a ghost hunter to keep in mind that there are people out there with the motives & technological know-how to produce a believable, fake ghost sighting. There have been cases of people faking poltergeist activities with houses that have been entirely wired by their

owners from basement to attic to produce ghostly lights & sounds in any room on command. If the ghost hunter completes a thorough examination for logical explanations a fraudulent haunting should be easy to discover. A seasoned ghost hunter with a couple dozen cases under their belt will learn to develop a second nature for uncovering frauds. 

When scientists debunk ghosts their first statement is usually, “there is no scientific proof of the existence of ghosts.” This is wrong. There is scientific proof. Science even has theories that explain something must be happening beyond what we know & what we can see.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955), Time Magazine's Man of the Century & one of the greatest minds the world has known, taught us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form of energy into another form of energy. This means that no matter what is done energy cannot be destroyed.

Human beings have both electrical & chemical energy in our bodies. We are organically designed to carry our electrically charged brain & nervous systems. When we die our chemical bodies begin to break down & decompose. The organic side returns to wear it came from - energy changing into a different form of energy as Einstein's law says. So what happens to the electrical energy that flows through our brain? It can't simply disappear or fade away out of existence. That would break the laws of science. That energy has to still be somewhere only now it has changed into a different form of energy. What happens to the energy is really determined by personal faith. What we do know, thanks to science, is that the electrical pulse energy in each human being will always exist because as a rule it “cannot be destroyed.”

Another great scientist who believed in life after death was Thomas Edison, (1847-1931). Edison was a genius ahead of his time. He invented the light bulb, phonograph, typewriter, electric motor, stock ticker, & 1093 other patented inventions. One of the inventions that he worked on at the end of his career was a secret project, a machine that would let the living see & communicate with the souls of the dead.

Edison believed that that the soul was made up of what he referred to as “life units.” These microscopic particles or life units could rearrange into any form. They retained full memory, personality & were indestructible. Edison's machine would detect these life units in the environment & allow living individual to communicate with the dead. He put many years of hard work into his new creation, but sadly, he died before it was finished. Some called Edison crazy. Others thought that he was onto something bigger than the idea of the light bulb. They believed that if he would have had a little more time, we might all today be living in a very different world.

It's been found that in almost every ghost haunting & poltergeist that there are certain electrical elements at work. Using EMF detectors ghost hunters can monitor these electrical forces. These devices can examine & record even the smallest fluctuation in the surrounding electromagnetic field. Everything gives off some kind of electromagnetic field, even our own bodies. Electrical appliances, like television sets & computers give off higher distortions than a lamp or a toaster would. When ghosts are present there are higher levels of electromagnetic distortions. Many times the distortions are so high that they interfere with the working abilities of computers systems & audio/video equipment. High levels of static electricity are also detectable.

Recording temperature changes is another scientific way of detecting the presence of ghosts. Fluctuations of more than 10 degrees have been recorded in small areas of rooms with constant temperatures. It's a scientific fact that there has to be some form of energy present to alter the temperature. Temperature does not change unless "something" is affecting it one way or the other. In many ghost sightings witnesses report feeling a cold spot. This could be caused by the fact that light does not seem to reflect correctly off of most ghosts, which also gives them a dark form. The light seems to be absorbed into the ghost. The theory is that ghosts absorb both light &

heat energy causing the general area around that ghost to be several degrees cooler. There are also hot spots recorded, which could be just the reverse affect occurring. Instead of soaking up the light & heat the ghost is reflecting it back, causing the area to be warmer.

Cleanse Your House of Spirits

Moving into different homes can often mean that the energy left behind by people who once lived there can still be lingering. In the paranormal and Christian world, these are called spirits. While some spirits are believed to be good, bad spirits can have serious negative affects on your life. Cleansing spirits from your house will yield a calmer environment that is more livable without negative influence.

Things You'll Need

Blessed water or oil
Incense or candles

Step 1
Anoint your house. Christians commonly use blessed oil, such as olive oil and water, to anoint objects. When you are anointing your home, pay special attention to entry and exit ways. You should also anoint places you feel the influence of the spirits most. Other ways of anointing can include using smoke from objects such as incense or candles.

Step 2
Pray over heavily infected areas. Meditation, well-wishing and conventional spoken prayer are all ways of praying over areas where spirits linger the most. Pause at these areas after anointing the entire house, and pray or meditate a prayer that the spirits leave.

Step 3
Cast out evil spirits. Some spirits will be more stubborn to banish than others. When this is the case, you must take the time to identify the nature of the spirit. Calling the spirit out will allow the spirit to know that you are speaking directly to it. After you do this, you must bind the spirit through rebuke. Saying words such as "spirits of violence leave this home now" or similar phrases should do the trick. Telling them by whose authority you are speaking, such as "in the name of Christ" or similar phrases, will also help cast out the spirit while simultaneously letting it know it is uninvited.

Step 4
Refuse their influence. Spirits will struggle after they are bound many of the times. This means that they will try to do a great deal of mischief when leaving an abode. Refusing the spirits influence over you by strengthening your will and resolve is necessary at this point. This will help you to avoid spiritual warfare that can have some physical implications at times. Opening a physical path, such as a door or window, that allows for easy exiting of the spirit to the outside will usher them out of your home. This follows much of the same beliefs as lightning (energy) that looks for the path of least resistance to the ground.

Tips & Warnings :

Name : Akshai Sthalekar
Designation: Co- Founder
Experience: 7 years.
I started meditating regularly at a very young age. This has helped me gain spiritually which in turn helps me during investigations and communicating with the spirit. Meditation also developed my psychic abilities and thus I can connect to various places and heal people. I have healed people in The USA, UK, Germany, Oman, Singapore and Australia. I learnt a lot from my guides, Late Erik Berglund (International Harpist and a spiritual Healer) and Mr. Raj Mali(Shamanic Master). I also perform exorcisms using meditative techniques and some special astral weapons.

Name: Sarbajeet Mohanty 
Designation: Co-Founder.
Experience: 3 years.
He could sense spirits around and tried to communicate with them as a young boy. He is our lead investigator and came into this field out of determination to overcome fears. As he used to sense spirits he was afraid and then decided to overcome them and use his abilities as his strength. Guided by many paranormal investigators to investigate and by Akshai Sthalekar to follow the path of spirituality, he has developed beautifully.

Demoniacal Prophesy

Ancients also had a sort of faith in the prophetic words spoken by those whom they believed to be

                                                                                                           

possessed by demons, & this was sometimes a component of ancient oracles.  In connection with this, it is worth pointing out that a respected modern-day professor of psychology once witnessed a friend, who was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia make a specific & surprising prophecy that turned out to be perfectly accurate.  The professor had no explanation for this event. Although one is tempted to hypothesize that there is a link between altered mental states and psychic ability. 

Some also associate the Ouija board with demoniacal prophesy, & those who have seen Linda Blair in The Exorcist will recall that this was how her character's problems began.

Q: Can Demons materialize themselves as humans or animals?

A: Yes, although their ability to do so seems limited. Also, seemingly as a rule, even on the rare occasions where they manifest themselves in photographs, they are never "complete"...that is to say, either a body part is missing (eyes, legs, or the entire head, etc.), or they are disfigured in some noticeable way. Perhaps this is God's cosmic law at work, commanding that they must in some way display that they are not of human origin.

Sudden Death

It is believed by many that when a person dies suddenly, as in a car accident or by a gunshot, they may not be aware that they died. This is much like when we cut ourselves, but don't notice it until we see the injury. This sudden death can leave the spirit somewhat confused. He or she cannot communicate with us & perhaps, has lost the concept of time. This leaves them to wander the area where they died, not fully understanding the predicament they are in.

Often times when these type of spirits are encountered, they are dressed as they were when they died & seemed confused as to what is going on around them. These spirits may at times manipulate various objects so they might be noticed, as if they're reaching out for our help. Unfortunately for them, it is believed that they are stuck here until somebody from our side makes contact & informs them that they have died. If they can be convinced they have died, then they move on to the next life or whatever may lie on the other side. But contact , as in interaction with the spirit, is most often not made. People, by nature, fear what they do not understand. So most people will run away or move, leaving the spirit to dwell an eternity wandering the place of their death. 

Charged Emotions

This theory suggests that an intense emotional event, such as a murder, suicide or a tragic loss of a loved one, can cause a person or persons to leave an electrical imprint on the surrounding area. Our brain is constantly releasing small electrical discharges. It is believed that during an intense emotional time, these discharges intensify. They become powerful enough to go beyond the boundaries of our body & imprint themselves onto objects in the immediate area. These imprints effectively record the details of the event that has transpired. It then takes the right person to come into the area & "playback" the recording.

This works much like a cassette recorder & tapes. Almost all the sounds in the world can be recorded onto a substance called ferrous oxide, or more commonly known as, rust. Sounds are converted into electrical impulses that are placed on the rust. When we put the tape into a cassette player & hit the "play" button, we hear what has been recorded. We can listen to this over & over again, whenever we replay the cassette.

Now imagine the electrical impulses escaping from the body of some pour soul who was murdered. This event happens in an old house. The energy spreads out & imprints itself on rust. Rusty nails, screws, handles, hinges & other metal objects that show signs of rust. The event is now recorded on the house or objects. Now imagine years later a new family moves in & begins some renovations to the old house. Walls are torn down, floor boards are ripped up or perhaps cabinets are replaced. All these renovations disturb the imprinted rust, perhaps sending out small vibrations into the air. Vibrations that go unnoticed by most, but for a few open-minded people, events that transpired unfold before them. This could happen with voices yelling, begging some unseen murderer to spare a victim's life, or the horrid event could play out like a movie before the viewer's eyes.

                                                                                         

This type of encounter always unfolds in the same way, replaying the exact same occurrences. In most cases, there is no interaction between the living & the dead. But, like I mentioned earlier, there are always exceptions. Some cases have reported the replay ending suddenly, usually if a living person gets too close or enters the room where the event is replaying. A few even report that when viewing a apparition, it may notice the viewer & then suddenly disappear.

SARBAJEET MOHANTY(LEAD INVESTIGATOR,IPT)

Demonic Possession.  It's extremely rare that you will ever hear of a full-fledged demonic possession. But it is something that all ghost hunters need to be aware of & briefed on. Full possession requires an "invitation" in order to gain a foothold. However, there are activities that can be construed as an invitation. i.e. Ouija boards, séances, etc. A person with heavy addictions, depression or someone who is desperately lonely are more apt to be targets. When any type of invitation is construed, whether implied or direct, it may very well be acted upon by such evil entities. Even with all that, it's still rare that evil will triumph successfully, but it is possible in some cases. Ghost hunters are somewhat susceptible because of the nature of their work. 

Addicting habits can be contradictory to your ghostly pursuits. Examples would be heavy addictions to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. These things in excess make you vulnerable & susceptible to attack. The attack stems from the entities attraction to your addictions & also because of your weakness. Mind altering substances are particularly enticing to them. 

The Cross : Creepy Story

A few weeks ago, some friends of mine from school died suddenly. Some others went insane. The doctors tried to pass it all off as mental illness, but I know the truth. They were possessed by something.

When I was in school, I used to hang around with a group of boys in my class. There were five of us altogether – (Danny, Mitch, Eric, Hugh, and myself). We never payed much attention to our schoolwork and spent our time ditching class and getting up to mischief. The teachers hardly even noticed our absence and our parents never suspected a thing.

One day, Danny and Mitch told the rest of us about a creepy urban legend they heard regarding a house that was near our school. The father of the family had gone insane and hung himself. When his wife and kids discovered the body, they were so traumatized that they couldn’t stay in the home again. They abandoned the house and it had lain vacant ever since.

We were so curious that we immediately decided to check it out. The next day, we all snuck out of school after lunch and went to the house. When we got there, we were surprised to find that it was just a normal-looking home. You would never have suspected that someone had committed suicide in the place.

Danny and Mitch went in first and the rest of us followed close behind. We went into the kitchen first and rummaged through the drawers and cupboards to see what was inside. There was nothing much of interest. Going upstairs, we explored the bedrooms, but most of the furniture had been removed.

Just then, Eric noticed something in the hallway. There were two small windows at the very end. They were high up, almost touching the ceiling. It seemed strange because there was another room behind the windows, but no door to access it.

Standing on each other’s shoulders, we opened one of the windows and all of us managed to climb through. There was a musty smell in the air. It stank of damp and dry rot. The moldy wallpaper was peeling off the walls. It was empty except for a desk in the corner with a black box sitting on top of it. On the wall above it, hung a large wooden cross.

The strange thing was that the desk, the box and the cross had all been painted completely black.

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” said Danny, as he walked over to the desk and examined the box.

Mitch was picking at the wallpaper. “This place gives me the creeps,” he said with a grimace.

Danny flicked the latch on the black box, opened the lid and looked inside. “I wonder what this is!” he exclaimed.

Just then, I happened to glance down at the floor. There was something carved into the wooden floorboards. It was some sort of symbol that covered the entire floor. A five-pointed star with a circle around it. I recognized that symbol.

It was a pentagram.

Mitch pulled a long, sticky sheet of wallpaper off the wall. As he did so, it crumpled to the ground, revealing what was behind it. Underneath the paper, the wall was covered with inverted black crosses.

Danny lifted something shiny out of the box. It was a small, golden chalice.

“There’s something in it,” he croaked. “Some red liquid… I think it’s blood…”

At that exact moment, the black cross above the desk burst into flames. Everybody froze. We all started to freak out.

Danny turned as white as a ghost. He was still holding the chalice in his trembling hands. His eyes rolled back in his heard and his tongue hung out of his mouth as if he was choking. Mitch started screaming in terror. He began climbing up the wall and crawled out of the window. I was right behind him, hoisting myself up and throwing myself through the narrow opening. I fell into the hallway on the other side, almost landing on top of Mitch.

Hugh managed to clamber out through the window as well, his eyes wide with fear. I could hear Danny’s voice screeching on the other side of the wall. Eric appeared at the window. He was clutching onto the ledge with one hand, while his other arm flailed wildly.

“My leg!” he cried. “He’s got my leg!”

I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him through. We could hear Danny in the room, moaning and howling like a dog. Eric was in a blind panic, struggling and screaming for help.

“My leg! My leg!” he kept screeching.

We all pulled as hard as we could. Eric came tumbing out through the window, and we all fell in a heap on the floor. He was shaking, crying and whimpering. I looked down at his leg and was horrified to find that there was a huge chunk missing from his calf. The flesh had been torn away from the bone.

“He bit me,” Eric wailed pitifully.

“Call an ambulance!” I shouted.

Hugh scrambled to his feet ran to get help. Danny continued yelling and screaming in the other room. We were too scared to peer in the window and check on him. We all exchanged frightened looks.

“I think he’s possessed,” said Mitch.

We sat there on the dusty floor and waited, listening to the tortured screams of Danny. He was like a wild animal, charging around like a crazed beast. He was uncontrollable, screaming, crying and bouncing around the room.

Eventually, an ambulance arrived and the paramedics attended to Eric’s wounds. The police came too and when they saw the crazed state that Danny was in, they called for backup. The ambulance took Eric to the hospital. Our names and addresses were taken and we were driven home by two officers.

We never saw Danny again. There was a rumor at school that his parents had to put him in a mental hospital. The police came and talked to our parents many times after that, but they never told us what they were discussing.

Of course, we were all grounded for the rest of the year. In school, we were on our best behavior, not wanting to get into any more trouble.

One day, I was called to the principal’s office. When I opened the door, I was shocked to see Mitch and Hugh sitting in front of the principal’s desk. Their faces were ashen. As soon as I closed the door behind me, the principal began speaking.

“Eric is dead,” he announced.

I couldn’t believe it. Then, I realized I hadn’t seen Eric for days. I thought he was just absent from school. It turned out that he had collapsed and died of a heart attack. He was only 14 years old. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Nobody could.

Mitch, Hugh and myself left the office that day with a heavy feeling in our hearts. We were the last surviving members of our group. We didn’t speak to each other. There was nothing to say. The haunted expressions on our faces spoke volumes. After that, we all sort of drifted apart.

During the summer holidays, I happened to run into Mitch’s sister at the mall. As soon as she set eyes on me, she broke down in tears. She told me that Mitch was dead and Hugh had gone insane.

Mitch hung himself in his bedroom. He told his parents he was going to bed and locked the door. He was found with his head shaved. His hair had been glued, piece by piece, to the ceiling. His eyes and mouth had been sewn shut with a needle and thread.

Hugh was found crawling down the street naked. He was laughing hysterically and grinning like a maniac. He couldn’t close his eyes. When paramedics sedated him and brought him to hospital, they discovered he had cut off his own eyelids.

At that moment, I knew that we were all cursed and now, I was the only one left.

A few days later, I was struck down by a mysterious illness. I had a fever and was confined to bed. All I could do was lie there. I couldn’t eat or drink anything. It felt as if something was squeezing my chest and crushing me, trying to turn me inside-out. I was sure I was at death’s door. The whites of my eyes turned black. I was in so much pain that I didn’t care if I lived or died. I just wanted it to be over.

One night, Danny came to me in a dream. He had withered away to nothing. All that was left was skin and bones. His skin was charred and blackened and his eyes were completely white.

“You’re the last one,” he whispered.

“Yeah,” I replied.

“The only one who remembers what happened on that day,” he said.

“I know,” I replied.

“You should come here,” he said. “You belong with us.”

“Where are you?” I asked nervously.

“You know where we are,” he chuckled. “We’re in hell.”

Pay attention to your dreams. Entities will use this relaxed state of mind & body to try & influence or torment it's targeted victim. Use whatever wording is necessary (according to your own spiritual beliefs) to command such an intrusion to cease. Command it in the Holy name of your God or Higher Power.  

Direct vs. Non-direct Contact/Communication

The big dispute, as some have called it.  Direct contact is usually referred as someone using themselves as a tool to make a direct contact or link with an entity/spirit/paranormal energy.  This involves a very good understanding of how to communicate, how to close off communications, & how to protect oneself.  Typically tools such as Ouija boards, Séance Agents, certain forms of Tarot, & some regular Agents fall into this category as they require an operator (someone to communicate through).  There are those who believe that this form of contact can be not only bad but also very dangerous.  Using a tool that invokes/provokes a spirit/entity/energy to use oneself opens a portal that may not be easily closed.  This is not to say that all people believe it bad. 

There are some who have researched & protected themselves in many ways towards the use & understanding of these tools.  They have trained or been trained properly to communicate through these tools using themselves as a portal & know how/when to stop.  There are many recorded cases where amateurs who have used these tools & were not knowledgeable enough about them have been hurt, abused, or even died.  Some groups believe that this is an evil way of trying to gain a scientific approach (where there are no scientific means available) in contacting/provoking the paranormal world.

Non-direct or Indirect contact is kind of the opposite.  Typically these tools are things such as disclosed Agents, Recorders (audio/video), Dowsing Rods, etc.  These are items that allow someone to record or contact the paranormal world without becoming part of the tool.  In the case of disclosed agents, whether they can hear, see, or speak with entities, spirits, or energies, they do not during an investigation.  They typically record all the information seen, heard, or felt & then relay that information back to the investigating group.  This keeps them from influencing others or incorporating themselves into a haunt or paranormal situation outside the scope of scientifically investigating.  Much like how audio/video recorders record the information to be reviewed, a disclosed Agent does the same with notes (written or mental) outside of the investigation or during a review.  Tools, such as Dowsing Rods & simple Tarot Cards designs, are designed to channel, seek, & find paranormal activity or energy, but they do not directly involve the person using them as an agent.

Note: It is the view of most Paranormal Investigators, that forms of direct connect are not permissible during an investigation. That is not to say that we do not acknowledge their uses or capabilities, only that we feel these forms of contact can lead to: a greater misunderstanding/confusion or a potentially bad scenario for the investigation, investigators, or others who may be present.

Using the Cell Sensor on Investigations

Just like the Tri-field, all the groups Cell Sensors should be used on every case. They can be placed in stationary positions all around the location & it can be carried as you walk around too.    Putting in a stationary spot allows it to monitor an entire area just like the Tri-Field meter does.   Use these settings when using the meter:

In a stationary position:   Set the meter to High & place the meter on a flat surface. Place the probe’s tip facing the area you want to cover.

Walking around with meter:    Set the meter to High but if you continue to get false/natural readings then switch to the Normal setting.    The Normal setting will usually work best when walking around in an indoor location.

An important tip with the cell sensor is how to hold the probe.  Never hold the probe by the wire.  Holding the probe by the wire will give you false readings.  Please keep this in mind when using.

Imaginary Friends

One theory I've developed concerns the imaginary friends of small children. I believe that spirits are all around us, we just lack the open-mindedness to acknowledge that they are with us. I feel that this is because we are "programmed" when we are young by adults, that told us that there are no such things as ghosts. I was taught that when we died, we went to heaven or hell. The subject of ghosts never came up. Imaginary friends fall under this same programming. Parents will teach the children that their "friend" is not real, & they should stop talking to themselves. This is the kind of thinking that closes our minds to anything that is not flesh & blood or solid as a rock.

When we are born, we know nothing of the concerns & worries of the world. We have no rules to abide by, thus we have no preconceived notions of what is supposed to be real & what is supposed to be imaginary. We don't even know what imagination is. So, I believe that babies & small children are the best chance a spirit has to communicate with the living. There have been numerous documented cases where a child or baby has been moved from one spot to another, or an infant has gained possession of toys that were no where near them. Many people have watched a baby move it's eyes around, as if following someone or a child suddenly laughing for no obvious reason. Perhaps that child is seeing a grandparent who passed on before getting a chance to see their grandchild.

What about children who are heard having long conversations with an unseen friend? Most can be attributed to an overactive imagination, but there are a few cases in which children have gained information they could not have known. A woman once wrote me about her son. Apparently the young boy had an imaginary friend. One day the boy told his mother that her stomach was glowing. His friend said that his mommy was going to have another baby & the he would have a sister. The next week the woman found out that she was indeed pregnant. Sometime later, a baby girl was born. Perhaps imaginary friends are more real then we give them credit. 

Q. What is the marker thingie called in planchette?

A. The proper name is planchette (plan-'shet) from the French word for "little plank." Some believe that the actual inventor's name was Planchette. Wouldn't that be a coincidence? If French is hard for you, call it a message indicator. Under no circumstances call it a carriage, center dome, cursor, do-hickey, doo-dad, eye, fulcrum, glide, glider, guide, heart, letter finder, locator, marker thingie, marker, mover, paddle, palmier, plachet, plaque, planchard, plantain, platent, plinth, pointer, receptor, shuttle, slider, seer, spade, speaker, stylist, stylus, triangle, or trivet. That is considered very bad form. And whatever you do, never, ever call it a "puck." If you don't know why, we suggest you look that word up in your dictionary. On second thought, call it anything you please. If it sounds interesting & enough people use it, we will eventually list it here

Communicating with the Spirits

The séance grips the imagination, lays hold of emotions, causes blood to tingle & hair to rise... all  these combine to play upon our sensibilities creating an effect which no utterance of prophecy, no reading of minds, stars, crystal balls or tea leaves, can produce.

Robert Somerlott from Here, Mr. Splitfoot (1971)

The séance was the most effective way, according to Spiritualist mediums, of communicating with the dead. In this manner, messages from the departed could be passed on to the living & the spirits could announce their presence by manifesting displays of the supernatural.

Séances were usually held in the home of the medium or that of one of the sitters. To begin, the lights were normally turned down very low or extinguished altogether. The reason for this, Spiritualists believed, was that spirit forms were more easily seen in the darkness. Often they manifested as luminous apparitions or would cause things to move about in ways that would only be done if it could remain unseen. Debunkers & skeptics, of course, offered other reasons for this -- that darkened conditions would hide the deceptive practice of fraud.

The sitters were normally divided equally by gender & those who were skeptical were generally excluded. A circular arrangement of chairs worked best, normally around a large table. Their hands were placed flat on the table, sometimes clasped together or merely with their fingers touching.

There were a number of unwritten rules for séances as well. Usually, no more than two or three séances were held in a week & they were to last for no more than two hours unless the spirits asked for an extension. Sitters were not allowed to touch the mediums or any of the manifested spirits, unless the spirits touched them first. It was believed that to come into contact with the medium, one of the manifested forms or the ectoplasm that might be generated by the medium during her trance, could severely injure the medium or perhaps the sitter. In addition, a sudden return to consciousness caused by interfering with the medium could cause illness, insanity or even death.

Another vital ingredient for a successful séance was appropriate music. Most sittings opened with hymns or prayers & on many reported occasions, the spirits chimed in with ghostly music & the creation of melodies though instruments like trumpets, horns & tambourines.

The furnishings of the séance room were normally simple & made of wood. Small tables were often needed for tilting & tapping by the spirits & sitters were normally provided with basic wooden chairs. Many physical mediums also made use of what were called spirit cabinets, an enclosure where the medium could be segregated while entering the trance state. Many of the cabinets were actual wood enclosures, although it was more common for a corner of the room to be hung with a curtain & closed off from view.

The phenomena reported at the séances varied greatly. Sitters often recognized the "arrival" of the spirits by a rush of cold air in the room, followed by rapping & tapping, knocking & perhaps strange lights, sounds & voices. The phenomena would often intensify as the evening progressed. Simple noises & lights were often followed by elaborate messages from the beyond, usually coming directly through the medium. The spirits would make themselves known by the manifestation of ectoplasm, by levitating tables or writing on "spirit slates", which were ordinary chalkboards upon which unexplained writing would appear.

In the most dramatic cases, some mediums, who claimed to be adept at act spirit summoning, were able to cause ghosts to appear in the midst of the sitters. In some of the most famous cases, like that of medium Florence Cook, spirits materialized who could touch, shake hands & even embrace the sitters.

During the heyday of Spiritualism, scientists & psychical researchers investigated hundreds of séances & unfortunately, the majority of the physical mediums were caught hoaxing phenomena at some point in their career. Very few of them came away unscathed by the early investigators of the Spiritualist movement & the few who did remain as mysterious now as they were then.

A séance is, on its most basic level, an attempt to communicate with departed spirits. This is generally done in a small group setting. The séance, or sitting, is led by a person known as a medium who will usually go into a trance that theoretically allows the spirits to communicate through him or her.

The word séance comes from the French word for 'seat', 'session', from Old French seoir, 'to sit.' In English, the word came to be used specifically for a meeting of people to receive spiritualistic messages (a sense first recorded in English in 1845). In French, it is much more general: one can say une séance de cinéma.

Séances are conducted in dark or semi-dark rooms with participants seated around a table. During the séance various activities are performed such as table tipping, channeling, automatic writing & the use of Ouija boards to name a few.

Belief in the ability to communicate with the dead is part of, although not exclusive to, a religious movement called Spiritualism, which flourished from the 1840s until the 1920s & still exists in various forms today. Skeptics generally consider séances to be scams, or at least a form of pious fraud. The argument from either side, it seems, will never be resolved.

Q: Can demons actually possess dolls and statues?

A:  Although demons do not technically "possess" inanimate objects such as dolls and statues, they will sometimes attach or link themselves to certain objects.  Although there are a variety of reasons for this, the most obvious cause would be if a doll or a statue has been "personified," or given recognition as an object of profane worship, or used in a ceremonial practice in which demonic entities were invoked.  (Two Scriptural references which specifically refer to this as the worship of idols are: 1) Revelation 9:20, & 2) 1 Corinthians 10:20.)  Incidentally, demonic attachments to inanimate objects are not limited to dolls & statues.  In fact, I once knew someone who, as a young boy of about five years old, picked up a glove which had been left in a cemetery...& a demonic entity instantly began harassing him!  The vehicle in which screen idol Jimmy Dean was killed in is another example.  Also, it almost goes without saying that the most common inanimate object to which a demonic entity will attach itself is the infamous Ouija board.

Another cause of demonic entities having attached themselves to inanimate objects such as dolls or statues, is if someone who was demon possessed or severely oppressed, has owned or venerated this particular object.

Of course, there is no reason to go through your house searching out every inanimate object which you've ever felt slightly unnerved about.  However, if you do seriously feel there is something unnatural about an abject in your possession...be it a doll, statue, Ouija board or what have you...it might just be a good idea to look up the history of this object, if possible.  For information pertaining to the disposal of such an object, you may wish to contact a member of the clergy of your particular faith, or perhaps a reputable paranormal research organization.

EMF Theories

Electromagnetism is a large, encompassing theory, so its no wonder that many people do not understand it. A basic book on it will almost immediately dive into calculus.

When it comes to using EMF detectors, may folks have no clue on how to use them properly or the ability to determine man-made sources (AC) from natural ones (DC).

                                                                                                           

The problem is amplified by the fact that most meters are calibrated at 60HZ AC, the same frequency as household wiring & other man-made electrical systems. They are not designed for what we are using them for.

Most ghost hunters will tell you that ghosts are believed to emit some kind of EMF. However, when asked why they believe this, many cannot give a good scientific answer.

Here is one of our hypothsises explaining how the EMF detector problem can be solved to some degree.

The scientific method is the best way yet discovered for winnowing the truth from lies & delusion. The simple version looks something like this:

1. Observe some aspect of the universe.
2. Invent a theory that is consistent with what you have observed.
3. Use the theory to make predictions.
4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations.
5. Modify the theory in the light of your results.
6. Go to step 3.

You can think of facts & theories (not just scientific ones, but ordinary everyday ones) as being on a scale of certainty. Up at the top end we have facts like "things fall down". Down at the bottom we have "the Earth is flat". In the middle we have "I will die of heart disease". Some scientific theories are nearer the top than others, but none of them ever actually reach it. Skepticism is usually directed at claims that contradict facts & theories that are very near the top of the scale. If you want to discuss ideas nearer the middle of the scale (that is, things about which there is real debate in the scientific community) then you would be better off asking on the appropriate specialist group

To begin our quest, we must first take a look at the ghost in the human machine, the conscious of the mind. Professor McFadden from the School of Biomedical & Life Sciences at the University of Surrey in the UK believes our conscious mind could be an electromagnetic field. His theory may solve many previously intractable problems of consciousness & could have profound implications for our concepts of mind, spirituality & even life and death.

There are wide differences in the concepts of consciousness, which are prevalent among biologists, psychologists, & sociologists. The threefold meaning of consciousness comes from the Latin word 'con-scio': a) to cut, b) to make a distinction, & c) to know.

There are three different ways to know the difference -- 'con-scientia':

1) Through genetic bio-reactive knowledge,

2) Through personal self-reflexive knowledge, &

3) Through social, consensually validated knowledge.

Most people consider "mind" to be all the conscious things that we are aware of. However this is not quite accurate. The majority of mental activity occurs without awareness. Actions such as peddling a bicycle or walking can become as automatic as breathing. The biggest puzzle in neuroscience is how the brain activity that we're aware of (consciousness) differs from the brain activity of all of those unconscious actions.

The human brain is a symphony of electromagnetic signals, but science has had trouble finding the conductor of the symphony. One of the problems that neurologists have with consciousness

                                                                                                            (49)

 is called the binding problem. The best way to explain the binding problem is to use the analogy of a tree. A tree seems to contain thousands of leaves, all of which are contained on several branches. Neurobiology tells us that the information contained in the mind (all the leaves) is dissected & scattered among millions of widely separated neurons. The binding problem is encountered when science tries to explain where in the brain all those leaves are stuck together to form the conscious impression of a whole tree. How does our brain bind information to generate consciousness? The data does not seem to add up & our symphony conductor is once again missing.

Through his research, Professor McFadden realized that every time a nerve fires, the electrical activity sends a signal to the brain's electromagnetic field. However, unlike solitary nerve signals, information that reaches the brain's electromagnetic field is automatically bound together with all the other signals in the brain.

The brain's electromagnetic field does the binding that is characteristic of consciousness. Conscious information processing is associated with the EM component of ultra low frequency (ULF) brainwaves in either:

a) dialectically "denser" parts of the brain in the normal awake state
of consciousness; or

b) a gaseous ionic structure in the vicinity of the mind.

This is why Paranormal Investigators look at EM fields. It is the basis of life itself (a great book on the subject that I'd recommend for ghost hunters is " The electromagnetic origins of life" by Dr. Becker). The brain's EM field is the only possible thing that could survive bodily death.

So what happens at death? Using the first law of thermodynamics there are several possibilities. First, all that energy could transform into heat and bleed out of the skull. That would also mean no afterlife, much less any possibility for ghosts. Fortunately, there are other possibilities. The EM field could also change frequency or polarity. Interestingly enough there is some data out there that suggests that the mind goes into theta waves just before death, which gives us a possibility of ghosts.

Using what data we have from neurology, we can assume that the frequency change could not exceed much more than 40HZ or so. The bottom line is that we are looking for low frequency DC EM fields. These types of fields are what we need to take a serious look at.

The biggest problem with EMF detectors is that they are not giving you the most vital piece of information of the EM field, its frequency! They can only give you the power associated with a field.

There is an instrument that can give you both power levels and frequency. It's a laptop computer. Pico Technology has a program that you can purchase that transforms your laptop into a spectrum analyzer. Using the proper coil or antenna, so can quickly tell if a field is manmade or not & record the data from the field onto the hard drive of the laptop.

Using a common lamp as an example, electric fields are present (& measured in volts) when the lamp is plugged in. When the lamp is plugged in & turned on, the electrical charge moves, & magnetic fields are created (&  measured in milliGauss, or mG). Because electric fields & magnetic fields have different characteristics, different measuring instruments & test protocols are necessary in order to assess emission levels for each field.
