Proof of Ghosts?

We all know of at least one person who claims to have had an experience with ghosts or the paranormal. Most people toss these experiences up to the overactive imagination. However, it seems that people have been having these experiences for centuries and without explanation.

With modern day technology, present day ghost hunters have managed to capture some amazing things on film and audio. Pictures, video and audio recordings known as EVP have surfaced at an alarming rate. Granted, the same technology that allows for the capture of this evidence, also allows for modern day hoaxsters to create their own. This is an unfortunate situation, because it tends to discredit the entire field and lessen the value of real evidence. People have an automatic reaction of disbelief when given the chance of witnessing some of this evidence. Fortunately, these occurrences could care less whether someone believes or not and continue to happen, giving us the chance to capture even more startling evidence.

The purpose of this article is not to argue the validity of the current proof of ghosts or evidence that already exists. Rather, it is to discuss undeniable science and see how it could apply to ghosts and the paranormal. The main thing that I would like to discuss is thermodynamics.

The laws of thermodynamics are considered to be some of the most important laws in physics and are as accepted as the laws of gravity. When looking at these laws, we can start to see that maybe science has already provided proof that ghosts could in fact, exist.

The first law of thermodynamics states: “Energy can neither be created or destroyed. it can only change form.” This basically says that energy does not die, it simply changes form. it also says that there is a constant amount of energy within our universe at all times. Think about it. If energy has been proven by science to be indestructible, but have the ability to change form, then what happens to the massive amount of energy that makes us who we are, when our bodies cease to function? This is something very interesting to think about.

Could this basic law of physics explain the existence of ghosts? Could it explain the voices recorded on a regular basis that were inaudible at the time of recording? The misty apparitions or mysterious movement of objects? The human soul? I am not a physicist by any means, but by looking at this very important law, using a common sense approach, it seems as though these occurrences should be taken more seriously that they often are. Granted, people will say that our body becomes fertilizer and food for bugs and that is how our energy changes form, but take a look at yourself. Think of the amazing power of the human brain and body. Is this really a fair trade? Personally, it makes me want to take a second look at the current proof and evidence of ghosts. I hope that you have read this article with an open mind and will continue to question the unknown. Curiosity is the mother of all scientific fact. Whether we are right or wrong today, our curiosity will one day become undeniable scientific fact.

Types of Ghosts

Humans have been able to conquer and find answers to most of the mysteries of the world, but death remains unconquered. Although there have been many theories told about life after death, nothing has been clearly evident. The speculations over ghosts have been raving for a long time, but concrete evidence has not been found. According to believers, there are different types of ghosts, such as traditional apparitions, crisis apparitions, doppelgangers, and anniversary ghosts.

Traditional apparitions are ghosts that interact with human beings. This can be for good or for bad. These ghosts are said to hide objects, frighten people, throw objects or plea for help. These ghosts are said to be present because of unfinished work. This can be due to their death in untoward circumstances, and they generally seek human help to resolve the issue and progress into a different realm. These spirits are said to be “intelligent” yet haunting, as they appear to be aware of the people around them and their surroundings.

Crisis apparitions are ghosts who appear to inform someone about danger. They are solid or transparent by nature. Anniversary ghosts appear on the anniversary of their death caused by some tragic event. These ghosts are commonly found in haunted houses or castles, and often relate to legends of tragedies from centuries past.

Messenger ghosts, like banshees, appear to family members to herald the death of another family member. Poltergeists are noisy spirits who produce sounds like “”psychic explosions”” from a teenage boy or girl.

Speculations are believed to be the soul or spirit of humans who have passed on from this life. These are orb-shaped and have been seen by many. Some say these spirits have a separate life form and are undetectable to the human eye because of their finer tissue.

Although there has been a lot written about ghosts, nothing can be termed as reality. Scientists still believe that ghosts and spirit is something that has been born out of the fear of human.

The Ghosts and Hauntings of St. Augustine, Florida

St. Augustine, Florida, which is appropriately named “The Nation’s Oldest City”, and the “Ancient City” by the locals has been known all throughout history for the ghosts and hauntings that are said to occur there. As a matter of fact, several professional paranormal investigators lay claim that this is also the “most haunted” city in the nation due to the stories of real ghosts and unexplained phenomenon. The spirits are said to be particularly strong here due to the lengthy, often violent history of at least four hundred years! Here, you will learn more about this spectacular hauntings and ghosts that seem to call this coastal city home.

The Huguenot Cemetery

The Huguenot Cemetery is considered to be one of the hottest spots for real ghost stories and paranormal activity – both by the locals and the tourists that travel to St. Augustine. One of the most popular ghost stories surrounding this haunted graveyard is that of the Judge by the name of John B. Stickney. While on a trip related to business in the year of 1882, this prominent individual was affected by typhoid fever and immediately died. His body was laid to rest in this cemetery. In the year of 1903, however, his body was exhumed in an effort to be located where his children lived. It was then that several gold teeth were said to have been taken.

Today, this judge is believed to be the “man in the tree”. In addition to this, it is believed that he paces the grounds of the Huguenot Cemetery on a regular basis. It does appear that he is in search of something, and many believe that it may be his teeth, while others believe that perhaps he is just lost. There is another spirit that seems to linger in the cemetery with the ever-popular judge, and that is a man by the name of Erastus Nye. Throughout this website, you will learn more about the ever-popular Huguenot Cemetery and the spiritual encounters that have been said to occur there.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse

The St. Augustine Lighthouse is another area where several ghosts have been spotted in ghost pictures, and even ghost videos. Sounds have been heard, apparitions have been seen by employees and visitors alike, and whispers have often been heard in the night. This structure is a little over one hundred years, but many things have occurred throughout history on the land that the lighthouse actually stands on. There are stories circulating that a distraught man hung himself in the home on the grounds that now serves as a museum, that one of the daughters of a lighthouse keeper that was employed there drowned during a tragic accident, and more! Here, you will learn more about this haunted location in the Nation’s Oldest City.

Ghosts and Orbs

In the paranormal community a belief in ghosts is pretty common place. If they are, or if they have a connection to, “orbs” seems to be divided.

Numerous photographs seem to exist showing both phenomena. Ghosts are typically a hazy humanoid transparent against the background of the picture in whatever dress the deceased would wear during their time of death. Orbs show up as small balls of light moving about in an environment or seem to be some type of photographic imperfection. To my knowledge, a ghost has never been caught on film as they appear in their pictures, while orbs have been seen moving everywhere and sometimes even appearing to open doors.

There is sure to be a connection between ghosts and orbs as some manifestation of someone who once lived and still seems to be earthbound. The disagreeance is if orbs really exist or if they’re dust, photo or camera imperfections, or some other things indiscernable in the frame, such as small bugs. Photographs can be hoaxed as can video, so while it is our strongest admissable evidence in courts of law, it really doesn’t give much proof to the paranormal community knowing hoaxers are out there.

Well known haunted places may give a clue as to the validity of ghosts and orbs in spite of the general public’s resistance to video evidence now because of hoaxers. Places like the Myrtle’s Plantation have had sightings of the typical transparent ghost spotted long before paranormal mania seemed to sweep the public in TV shows and specials. However, orbs often are not seen by a person or investigator naked eye and only spotted later on photographs or video, both unavailable in the time places like the Myrtle’s Plantation had sightings. Perhaps they did not have the technology to capture them on modern devices where orbs show up, but ghosts seem to be shy about.

If we are to prove the existence of either of these phenomena, if that is indeed the point of the investigations, our measuring equipment may need a facelift. Hauntings are not a modern phenomena, but over the years our equipment has changed and improved, so if we were to improve our devices to detect something more, or something else, maybe we’ll be able to shut the book on ghosts and orbs once and for all.

How Long Do We Hang Around After We Die?

Later in life I met a shaman who had also had a lot of experiences with disincarnates. I talked with the shaman at length about my encounters and together we realized that there was a new dimension to my purpose. There was a reason why I saw so many disincarnates and they seemed to know this reason even before I did. I was meant to help them find Their Way Home.

The shaman taught me how to do this and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I had my first opportunity to give it a try.

I never had to go looking for a ghost, they would always find me. In my car, my shower – everywhere. When I lived in one particular home, they definitely had a favorite gathering spot – my clothes closet. No one ever wanted to go in my closet, and it was easy to understand why. It was always filled with disincarnates. Generally speaking it looked like the waiting room of a doctor’s office.

After meeting the shaman, I went home and walked in my closet with a new purpose and my visitors seemed to know it. Everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to take the lead. I decided to start with the gentleman to my left in the red plaid shirt and began following the teachings the shaman gave me. “Okay,” I exhaled as I faced him. I didn’t expect to hear anything from him but as soon as I acknowledged him he began to speak.

As he asked me to help his wife, images of how he had been murdered filled my mind. The dress and demeanor of this man and of those who had killed him showed me that this was not a recent event. He had died about 25 years earlier.

Unsettled from his own tragic and shocking death, he had been wandering the earth trying to find resolution, and justice, and support for his mourning wife.

I guided him home, and as I lay in bed that night the vivid stories of those I had helped that day swirled through my mind. Just as in the mediumship readings I did, these encounters had been intense and memorable.

Throughout the coming years I would guide thousands of people home. Sometimes the experience was quick and though they were grateful, the person or persons had nothing to say, and other times the encounter was emotionally intimate, deeply meaningful and rich with learning.

Some of the ghosts whom I helped had only been dead for a few weeks, others had wandered the earthplane for several decades and still others had been lost and haunting for hundreds of years.

There is a short window between our death and our burial when we’re allowed to visit loved ones and attend our funeral and our burial. After that, angels and deceased loved ones come for us and we’re guided to go home. Though not everyone follows this guidance, most of us do.

Though I didn’t immediately know the value of these souls’ presence in my life, I’ve since seen people’s day to day life improve dramatically after I’ve removed an earth bound disincarnate from their home. And I’ve seen these lost souls find the love and the healing they’ve searched out all their lives as I helped them to find Their Way Home.

The Ghosts of Crowley Hall Movie Review by Trash Film Orgy

The Ghosts of Crowley Hall is a spooky new ghost hunters documentary by filmmaker Daren Marc. Workers renovating an old mental hospital with a dark history uncover some old bones behind a fireplace, and weird things start to happen to the construction workers. Tools go missing, and one worker claims to have been pushed down the stairs by unseen forces. The owner calls in a ghosthunting team to investigate.

The likeable young Arron Kasady leads the team. With his lengthy locks and “Punisher” T-shirt, he looks like your neighborhood comic book geek. There’s also medium Annabel Keogh, and Katherine Copeland, an attractive American parapsychologist, the token skeptic. And, of course, a film crew. The filmmaker wisely stays in the background and lets Kasady’s large presence do most of the heavy lifting.

They bring their night-vision lenses and EMF scanners and hold a séance, disturbing the ghost of the doctor who allegedly performed horrible medical experiments on his patients, and angering him in the process.

It’s spooky, all right, and I suppose the assumption is that the viewer is expected to believe in the supernatural as much as the ghosthunters. But to play skeptic for a moment, some of it’s a hard sell. Film can’t confirm the feeling of being followed, or cold spots, and the disturbing bangs and clangs off screen can’t be verified by the viewer as ghost activity. A skeptic would say the table moving during the séance could be attributed to a sympathetic unconscious desire to believe. And several spirit knocks solicited by Kasady are inaudible to this viewer, even as he makes a big deal out of them.

But they do get some footage of a mysterious figure in the hall, when all of the crew is accounted for, if you take the film’s word for it. And centerpiece of the film happens when a door slams shut and locks on Kasady, who gets attacked by spirits. When the door opens after a bit, he is helped out, and has scratches on his face. Back home where it’s safe, he has bruises about his face and body, like he’d been beaten. Scary stuff.

If you believe that ghosts attacked him, that part of the film would be terrifying. But of course, a skeptic would say, maybe he locked the door himself and beat himself up for the betterment of the film. As Mulder used to say, I want to believe. But as Mark Twain said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn’t.” Now chew on that. I guess that means I take it as entertainment and don’t know if I believe or disbelieve it. All I know for sure is that you’re not getting me inside that creepy old hospital!

For a change of pace, they periodically cut to the main characters back home commenting on what happened earlier. The onsite sound and thick British accents almost warrant subtitles, at least for non-Brits. The spooky music is good, but a bit intrusive; as I was left wondering exactly what sounds were mood music and what were spirit noises. I even momentarily considered the thought that the whole thing might be a hoax, or a piss-take, as the Brits might say, but the crew seem genuinely agitated and convinced that something horrible and unique happened at Crowley Hall. I give them the benefit of the doubt.

The ending is abrupt and anti-climactic. Otherwise well-made, GHOSTS…would have benefited from a short bit of background on the principals. Who are they? What’s their reputation and talents? We don’t really have a good picture of that. In the extras there is an interview with longhaired limey Kasady (the same one twice, actually – what’s up with that?) but since most of it was already used in the film, it gives the viewer little insight. And how did their harrowing journey affect them? Is Katherine still a skeptic? What attracted Marc to the project in the first place? These worthy questions go unanswered. It’s fairly creepy and engaging, nonetheless, and worth a look, even if you don’t totally buy into the ghosthunting stuff.

Clairvoyants & Their Types

The word clairvoyance with its associated words ‘clairaudience’ and ‘clairsentience’ comes from the 17th century French words – ‘Clair’ meaning clear and ‘Voyant’ means seeking. Clairvoyance is a sort of ‘Hypnotism’ according to the French.

The ability to perceive information without the use of the five known human senses is known as Clairvoyant. Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience — are all forms of ESP or Psychic Ability to see, hear, and feel an object, circumstance or an event by paranormal means. Hundreds of unexplained events take place all around us everyday and in most cases meaningful explanation about the event comes from an unlikely source … Psychic Reading.

Types of Clairvoyance
There are basically four types of clairvoyance:
1.Psychological Clairvoyance
2.Spatial Clairvoyance
3.Astral Clairvoyance
4.True Spiritual Clairvoyance.

Psychological Clairvoyance
This is a term which we have invented ourselves to cover a certain type of clairvoyance. Most of us are very much familiar with those curious attractions and repulsions which we often feel for many people. There are some people whom we instinctively like or dislike, and for such a feeling, very often, we are unable to provide a valid reason. This is due to the perception of psychological clairvoyance. The psychological clairvoyance may also be termed as ‘psychic counseling’.

Spatial Clairvoyance
This type is also known as clairvoyance in space and time. Psychometry is in itself clairvoyance in time, using an object as a starting point and as a point of reference. Actually, this type can also be exercised without using an object, but concentration upon it helps to keep the clairvoyant faculty working within those limits. As we say, the object can be omitted and many people can exercise this clairvoyance in time without practically having any blank idea of what they are doing. Some people even find that, although they are not aware of possessing any psychic power, yet, when they are touching old furniture or antiques, dim pictures and emotions arises in their mind and automatically they become nostalgic. This dim clairvoyant perception is far more common than is generally realized.

Astral Clairvoyance
The next type of clairvoyance we have called ‘Astral Clairvoyance.’ By this we mean the perception of apparently living beings that have no physical body. The Devas or the ‘shinning ones’, the ‘Lordly Ones’ of Celtic tradition, the Spirits of the elements; all live and have their being in the etheric and astral realms. You may see some of these entities as your clairvoyance begins to unfold, and their activities form a fascinating field of study for the clairvoyant investigator. It is in this field of clairvoyance that you need to exert great care, for you will be making contacts with living beings of many different types, and not all of them will be friendly. This great world of astral is also known as the World of Illusion.

True Spiritual Clairvoyance
We have now come to the last and final type of clairvoyance i.e. the Spiritual Clairvoyance. In the system of thought to which we give our allegiance, virtue, sanity and true spirituality lies within the purview of spiritual clairvoyance. At the end all life, all consciousness, all faculties, come from the Divine, but all work is manifest under immutable natural law.

For a layman who is in search for a psychic at times of crisis can never be in a state of mind to discriminate between a fake and a genuine psychic. On his/her part it will be wise not to disclose any personal information to the clairvoyant. It is best to ask the reader directly about personal relationship, finances, business, etc. If they are able to pick up on the correct situation quickly and impulsively, then it is known that he/she is a genuine psychic reader.

The Basics of Paranormal Investigation

The word paranormal comes from the words “para” meaning beyond, and normal. So the term paranormal really means something that is beyond the normal scope of science or being beyond a scientific explanation. According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes “any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions.”

Ghosts generate strong electro-magnetic fields. These fields cause disruptions in the magnetic field of a location which makes it detectable by both specialized equipment and psychics. Ghost hunters use many different types of equipment to detect an paranormal phenomena. A 35mm or digital camera is probably the easiest and least expensive way to begin. Pictures, whether digital or recorded on film have the ability to capture paranormal activity that is usually invisible to the naked eye. In addition to a camera, it’s important to have a flashlight since most paranormal investigations will be in dark places like cemeteries, basements, attics, or old buildings. Also, most investigations occur between 9pm and 6am when it’s dark. This is believed to be the best time to record paranormal activity. Along with the flashlight you’ll need extra batteries, since batteries will sometimes mysteriously lost all their charge during paranormal investigations, literally leaving you in the dark.

Once you have these basic items, you’re ready to start exploring the world of paranormal investigation. Some important things to remember are: never go on an investigation alone, and be respectful of the of the people, places and situations you encounter.

The first step in an investigation is selecting the place you’re going to investigate. Once you choose a location, be sure to get permission to access the property to ensure you won’t get into any trouble for trespassing. It’s also very important to do some research on the location before you go out and physically investigate it. You can go to the library and look up old newspapers, visit the local historical society to find out about the history of the place and if anything strange has happened there, and of course talk with the owner of the property.

Once you get all your data collected you have to analyze it. Every picture, video, audio recording is reviewed to look for any sign of a haunting. When doing your analysis, be sure to be skeptical. Make sure you rule out any explainable causes for anything odd that may show up. Check for mirrors, shadows, light sources or anything else that may cause something weird to be seen or heard in your collected data. Most of the time, the things you initially detected during your investigation will have real world explanations as opposed to supernatural ones. It’s important to make sure your evidence will stand up to any scrutiny by eliminating any other explanations. This will give your data more credibility.

Once you complete your analysis, you need to present your findings property owner. At this point you would recommend whether the owner needs to seek additional help, such a having the property blessed or if there is really nothing that needs to be or even can be done. Sometimes just having someone investigate the place and find nothing can help ease the mind of the person experiencing the haunting.

Crowley Hall Movie Review by FilmArcade.net

The Ghosts of Crowley Hall chronicles the investigation of one of Britain’s most haunted halls. The investigation stared back in early 2007, when Aaron Kadsdy began conducting tests by taking photographs. Those photographs produced strange images in certain rooms in the building. Kasady, then began to conduct a full investigation on the haunting of Crowley Hall in May of 2007. During that time, he brought a team of Ghost hunters. The team was comprised of a parapsychologist, a spiritual medium, a journalist and a film crew. They spend two nights at this place. During that time, the team conduced various experiments that were done in order to provoke paranormal activity through out the building. But thing didn’t go right for Aaron Kadsdy and his team, as they had to abort the investigation.

Now fast-forward to August of 2007, Aaron Kadasy and his team of ghost hunt returned to Crowley Hall to continue where they left off in their investigations. Both attempts are the basis for this film.

I’m one of those people that usually don’t see many of these ghost shows like Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State because I don’t put too much stock into the existence of ghosts, until I watched this film. I was frightened at times with The Ghosts of Crowley Hall. Maybe the reason I was scared during this document, was the fact that this event really took place.

Director Daren Marc does a very good job in documenting the failed attempts that Aaron Kasady and his team had. Marc doesn’t inject himself too much into the film unless he was asked to by Kasady. The team’s frightening moments were captured very well. There were a few dead spots there and here, but it’s supposed to happen in a documented investigation like this. I liked, how Marc also adds interviews before the attempts as he makes get a sense of what the main players in the investigation were going through in their minds before entering the haunted halls.

If there is one problem, I had with The Ghost of Crowley Hall, it was the fact that Daren Marc didn’t tie up the film with some closing thoughts about from Arron Kasady. It would helped given a little closure to what was happening with him and the team afterwards, but you can find in the bonus interview with Kasady, which is located in the bonus features section.

The end result with The Ghosts of Crowley Hall made me believe that ghosts really do exist. Also, I highly recommend this film particularly to fans of these paranormal series that I mentioned in the opening of my review.

Crowley Hall Review by AngryPrincess

The Paranormal has always fascinated me. Whether it be as a child when it terrified me, or as an adult where it became an obsession to prove to myself that there was something after life besides just death. Have I personally ever found anything concrete…not really only a few what ifs made it to me. Today in our world the paranormal is almost like having a second language, everyone delves in it. I have went to countless cemeteries, abandoned buildings and mental asylums and all I ever manage to get were dust orbs, a few unexplained glowing orbs, and an incident that caused me to run like the wind out of that place and I’ll never forget it.

Crowley Hall was built in the 19th century and served as a hospital. Then from the 1920-1930’s Doctor Leys and his wife Beatrice took over and it became a place for the criminally insane. Dr. Leys was noted as being a key figure in creating new treatments for mental illness in Northern England. Some say Dr. Leys liked to perform sadistic experiments on the more violent patients. It is stated that Leys death was from a heart attack but insiders new better and spoke of an operation gone wrong in which Dr. Leys ended up a victim from the patient he was treating. I guess he should of tied those restraints a tad tighter and he wouldn’t have ended up stabbed in the neck.

The Ghosts Of Crowley Hall is a documentary Arron Kasady and a team of other experts set out with a vengeance to make and you see their determination as well as many parts of this old historic building. When the team holds a séance things start to get interesting and are visited first by a man named Alfred and then by a spirit believed to be Leys himself. If you like shows like Ghost Hunters or if you like old abandoned buildings like me this film is for you. It was a little hard to hear some of the reaction bangs but none the less it was exciting to watch. I sincerely hope they go back and see what other things they can find out about this amazing historic place!
