Part One: Your attitude While I’ve been blessed from some encounters with spirits, I realize the dangers of courting the paranormal. As a Christian, I believe in the existence of evil in the afterlife. Since wickedness resides in our realm (look at the latest blood-thirsty dictator), it’s logical that negative energies dwell in the Other [...]
I'd love to know what topics you'd like to see me write posts on. If I don't have the information for you, I'll ask my circle of paranormal experts for resources. My goal is to make this blog relevant by trying to answer the questions that perplex you the most. A note on blog comments: I'm being inundated by spam, [...]
Thoughts of Nancy—my friend warring against pancreatic cancer—nagged at my consciousness. Even as I hurdled my way through the chaos at work, she remained on my mind. The TMCC Writers’ Conference, which I manage, neared. Plus, I had reports to compile and a new marketing strategy to devise for our division’s uncertain future. Overwhelmed and [...]
When I first met pioneer paranormal investigator Janice Oberding, her professional attire and it’s-not-my-concern-if-you-don’t-believe-in-ghosts demeanor surprised me. But what dumbfounded me was Janice’s skepticism toward paranormal evidence. She questions everything. Gullibility is not an asset. Janice dispelled my belief that ghost hunters are easily swayed by nonsense. She educates herself on the ways ghostly experiences [...]
God intimately knows every aspect of our lives and what’s to come. Yes, we possess free will, but only the Divine Above All knows what experiences and lessons we need to grow and thrive. I learned this after my 2007 Goldfield Hotel (GFH) experience. After that ghost hunt at 4:45 a.m. with my spirit wilted [...]
One unusually hot, spring day, my buddy and I escorted my younger brother and his friend on the long trek home from 6th grade. Lithe palm trees, lining the street, cast little soothing shade. So since we were dropping off my brother at his friend’s house (about half-way between Rowland Avenue Elementary and home), we [...]
Bolting upright in bed and shrieking do little to help one’s sleep. For several years at almost weekly intervals, I’d awaken and open my eyes to see a dark mass, shaped like a man, standing near the head of my bed. You’d think after it’d happened so often, I could turn off the startle. Look [...]
Once I feared death. Although I’d always believed in heaven, death terrified me. Its finality. The way it wrenched our special ones away from us. Death seemed a punishment. And no one—not even the most righteous—escaped it. I no longer dread the Reaper. I know without a doubt, the afterlife exists and our passing from [...]
Humans are herd animals. We congregate with friends and family; we share ideas. So why when many of us face trials, do we head for solitary caves and refuse the aid of others? We can’t successfully endure hardships alone. When Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post Viral Neurasthenia left me bedridden, I had no energy for [...]
See my first five tips posted three weeks ago. 6 ~ Wait to learn of a locale’s paranormal activity. For me, having the personal confidence I’m not concocting information based on previously shared information makes it less likely for me to taint initial evidence. That said, I do think it is good to have one [...]
