What is happening in the
paranormal world?
Anyone who has a social
media account for
themselves or for their team
is witness every day to what is
happening.
Every post to do with
anything paranormal is in the
firing line, things seem to be
getting out of control.
Para-wars are very real and
are escalating into a huge
problem in todays social me-
dia, we all hear stories about
cyber bullies every day and
that‟s exactly what is going
on.
Lets start with paranormal event
companies, there really does seem
to be a new one appearing on a
weekly basis, all these companies
are obviously going to be in
competition with each other, there
are afterall only so many venues to
investigate.
Many of the event companies out
there seem to like the fact they
have „exclusive‟ rights to a few
venues and promote this point.
These companies are
businesses and are in
competition with each other
but by gaining „exclusives‟ on
venues they are not only
stopping their competitors or
normal paranormal teams
going to these venues but they
are losing the venue themselves
money.
Many of the prices these event
companies charge too are un-
believeable, yes they earn a liv-
ing from hosting the events but
when they have 3 or 4 events
each night all over the country
and are making well in excess
of £1000 profit at each event it
is easy to see why more and
more event companies are
cropping up each week.
Recent events last year
concerning one such company
just shows what can happen
when people try to cash in on
the paranormal boom.
All of these companies claiming
they are the best etc etc is just
the tip of the Para-wars
epidemic.
Paranormal Investigator, Ghost
Hunter, Paranormal Research-
er, Paranormal Scientist, Para-
normal Consultant, the list of
things people call themselves is
endless and seems to be where
it all starts, what we call
ourselves, people appear to be
attempting to call themselves
anything but ghost hunters
recently and some are attacking
those that do still call themselves
such as amateurs and accuse
them of just playing or only in it
because they saw the
programmes on TV.
There seems to be all sort of
new name connotations now in
an attempt to sound more
professional and knowledgeable,
which in itself is not a problem
its when these people then
attempt to live up to their cho-
sen name by picking on others.
A classic situation is the „orb‟
this is far to a lengthy debate to
go into here but its enough to
say that opinion is certainly
divided on the subject, the
problem occurs when a photo of
an orb is posted on social media
and the anti-orb people attack
the poster with the dust, bugs,
moisture claims. Now healthy
debate is a great thing to have
but unfortunately like many
things within the
paranormal can all to often
lead to explosive and many
times abusive arguments.
We all have our opinions
and it is our right to voice
that opinion, the problem
occurs when we declare our
opinion as the only one that
counts.
I‟m sure we have all seen or
even been victim to „the
bully‟ who declares that
they are correct and „know‟
for a „fact‟ what they are
looking at in either photo‟s
or videos and state their
point with uncalled for
aggression, sometimes
resorting to name calling
and even threats.
This is the type of
behaviour that is holding
things back in our chosen
field.
It even comes down to the
way that we investigate,
many people/teams
declaring that theirs is the
proper way to do it. Surely
if everyone did it the same
way then things would not
move forward and new
techniques would not be
found, we are all
individuals and we should
bring this to our ways of
investigating.
Ego seems to be a big
problem in the paranormal
and the green eyed
monster that is jealousy, is
it the case that when
somebody puts what is
actually good evidence out
there others try their best
to dismiss it and even
resort to the abusive
behaviour simply because
they wish it was them who
had caught it?
There are many
individuals and teams out
there who will not put any
of their findings out for
everyone to see because of
Previous abuse.
This is so out of order.
Surely everyone should be able
to put out there whatever
evidence they want without fear
of someone throwing torrents of
abuse at them just because they
don't like it, it has to stop.
Para Unity if an often touted
phrase which in the current
climate is nothing but words.
It will never be achieved in my
opinion due to the amount of
bullying that is going on, forcing
of opinions and ideas on others
is not what its all about.
Working together to take the
paranormal forward is what we
should ALL be aiming for, we
should be sharing ideas and new
discoveries, sharing our findings
with each other without fear of
abuse.
We need to work together to
stamp out these bullies before we
can move forward.
At the end of the day we are inves-
tigating the unknown so there is no
100% answers as yet found, we all
have our own ideas about various
aspects of the paranormal and
should never try to force this on
anyone else, there is a definite line
between offering advice to those
with less experience and telling
them they are wrong and your way
is the right way or you ‟know‟ what
you are looking at.
Lets please stop the abuse and try
to help each other in a civilised
and friendly manner, remember if
you don't like what you see don't
attack the person, just move on
unless you can do it nicely.

Weirdy beardy
As far back as I can remember
I've felt things, emotion way
beyond my capability.
I don't see them as in the "I see
dead people sense " but if there's
an entity, a feeling I seem to be a
very good receptor.
I currently live in a building
formally a yarn shop, since
moving in an aroma lingers in the
hallway of cigarette smoke, sense
of a quiet soul. a voyeur, a Seer.
Dead eyes interrogate me as I
sleep in the cloaked
darkness, a sense of complete
and utter desperate nothingness.
Not a clever word or one created
to promote a sense of
atmosphere, but one that those
who have experienced
nothingness can only truly
appreciate its hopelessness,
a word its primitive and casual
use .
Nothingness proceeds every
human emotional state, when
there is no more, happiness,
anger, jealousy even depression.
Nothingness is the calm before
the storm, this is what I feel, after
all sentiment has left they leave
this, a contradictory trail of
something which is nothing,
a void, a tide of regret, sense of
well being and weirdly enough
hope.
Hope. When there is death?
I had never heard of such an
idea, the entity residing in my
home appeared before me in a
strange dream, aggravated, angry
and searching for an object it
hoped to find.
I suffer from night terrors, I
cannot tell the difference
between nightmares and reality,
I relay this information as I
believe a reader should be
informed.
The night terror showed me this
spirit who was desperate to find
its treasured article, objects were
thrown with real consequences.
The story ends with no answers,
no reasoning, just a night
terrorised victim unable to sleep,
again the visitors have left as
quickly as they have arrived.
However with this in mind how
can a sane soul sleep again?
The night looms in without doubt
while silently drifting in and
dancing amongst the ashes of a
dreamers dream, there's no
comfort in the darkness's
embrace, no comfort.

E.V.P E.V.P. Electronic Voice
Phenomena or Elucidating
Vibrational Play-back?
This is a subject which has me
bouncing back and forth as to
exactly what makes up a
tangible E.V.P.
Evidence regarding the truth
and accuracy of this form of
information gathering is sketchy
at best. For centuries intrepid
investigators have gained
recordings which are believed
to be from those beyond the
veil of the living.
Whether electronically
recorded onto cassette tapes or
compact discs the argument has
raged through the centuries as
to their relevance and
authenticity in proving life after
death.
E.V.P experimentation really
took hold within the mid 1800‟s
when Thomas Edison
highlighted his belief that spirit
energies would find it easier to
communicate via a sensitive
recording device over them
actually being required to move
an object.
Thomas‟ hypothesis had medi-
ums and other intrigued individ-
uals experimenting in an effort to
find the one item which could
prove that interaction with lost
loved ones was possible.
As we all know, we are still no
closer scientifically in knowing if
there is definitely life after death.
Although many paranormal
teams utilise “Ghost boxes” or
SB7 boxes (both devices used
to constantly sweep radio
frequencies without pause.) the
readings which are provided
when the experimenter listens
to the white noise cycling;
where an occasional unclear
word could be heard, are, in
my opinion, subject to
interpretation.
The Stoke
Haunted team
have put this
theory to the
test by having
each team
member
using only a pen
and piece of
paper to write
down what they
thought they
had heard.
Of course there are the few
instances where everybody‟s
words matched (despite them
not conversing during the
period of experimentation);
however, it was more apparent
that the collective could not
agree on what they had heard
and what word was the right
response.
It is my belief; and not one
necessarily held by the Stoke
Haunted team or any of its
members, that each person
could attribute a distorted vocal
output into something which fits
into their daily
lives.
It is my
conviction that
life style,
acceptance to
the possibility
that there could
be life after
death, vulnera-
bility, emotional
mood and the
desire to hear something tangible
drives our brains to link
information fragments together
until they conform to something
which we think that we can
understand.
It is all subject to personal
interpretation.
All series and models of ghost
boxes cycle through radio
bandwidths at a phenomenal
rate. Is it inconceivable that the
various radio stations may emit
a partial word which will fall in
line with another wordy
fragment given from a different
station so that creates the sound
of one full word over an
elongated cycle frame?
Imagine if you will:-
You have three wheels of
similar size and shape. Paint an
arrow facing north on each
whilst they are all still. Once all
three arrows are painted spin
each wheel at a different rate.
How often will those wheels all
reach the North position at the
same time? Infrequently I can
assure you. Could the same
principles be attributed to the
various “Ghost box” devices
and their inner workings?
I am not saying that the
equipment works in the simplis-
tic description above, and I am
no technical genius either so
my theory holds no real weight.
I could be utterly wrong. If you
were to leave the devices running
unhindered for an hour how likely
is it that you will hear a complete
word?
I am not for one moment indicat-
ing that the millions of paranormal
teams worldwide should steer
clear or abandon the use of this
item of ghostly equipment. No. I
am merely highlighting my own
views about the matter.
Contaminants are around every
corner and it is our responsibilities
as researchers to manage them
where possible.
Where management is not
possible then it is vital that we take
note of the possible pollutants and
how they may affect your research.
With the gathering of E.V.P‟s it‟s
worth noting what type of
equipment you used; audio tape
or digital hard-drive.
Regardless of what device you
used, if you gain potential
evidence you will need to
establish whether the piece of kit
was laid/held next to some form
of a magnet during your
investigation – magnets can
completely ruin tapes and digital
hard-drives and what they may
contain.
If someone uses the same tape
over and over again; regardless
of how the tape may have been
formatted, it is possible that
trace evidence of previous uses
may remain.
If that should happen it is plausi-
ble that sounds from two or
more uses before could remain
and tarnish your current
recordings.
Again, the proper application of
an evaluation will help prevent
future occurrences or assist you in
ascertaining true facts.
Each piece of kit has its part to
play in the exploration of the
paranormal world.
Each item whether it be a K2
meter of a laser thermometer
allows the user to measure their
surrounding atmosphere which is
imperative should they want to
provide facts to a scientific body at
a later stage.
The Ghost box and digital
recorders are no different.
If we accept each piece of kit for
what it is, a tool for
measurement, our evidence will
gradually collate over time and
your investigations will become
more stream-lined.
No one person; or team, should
rely solely on what kit they may
carry. The mark of a true
investigator is being able to
balance both science and
observation to determine and
evaluate their application and
results.
Be alert. Be objective. Be safe!

Trance MediumshipTrance MediumshipTrance Mediumship Trance Mediumship/Physical
Mediumship
Making contact with those in the
spirit world can be achieved by
many methods but in trance,
channeling, overshadowing or
inspired speaking and
transfiguration, the medium and
their guide blend together their
energies as one. It is perhaps the
closest form of communication
between spirit guides and the
medium.
Inspired Speaking
This is when the spirit guide
directs the medium in what to
say. Mediums who give
clairvoyant readings in
spiritualist churches may do a
talk or philosophy. This is
usually inspired speaking and
can be on any subject, they start
to speak and their guide for, this
is usually inspired speaking and
they are inspired our guided as
to what to say by their guide.
Overshadowing
This overshadowing can make
the medium feel as if their
features or bodily form are
changing from the norm, or that
they have taken a step back and
someone else is trying to steer
their thoughts and speech.
Full Trance
This is perhaps the more well
known form of spirit trance
communication and is when the
full co-operation of the medium
is used.
In this form the medium will
spend a few moments attuning
to their guide, before seemingly
falling off to sleep.
The medium gives permission
to the guide to blend with them
and fully take over the use of
their body. Their are various
signs of full trance, such as
rapid eye movement,
movement of the mouth,
breathing rate slowing down.
After a brief period the
medium will have become an
instrument for the guide, the
guide being able to use his/ her
voice directly.
The medium has simply
withdrawn to allow the spirit
communicator through some
mediums are unaware of the
words spoken by their guide,
some have an agreement with
their guide that they will be able
to remember or know the words
that have been spoken.
The spirit guide will share his
knowledge and teachings, for he
is in direct contact with those
about him.
Questions are often asked and
indeed the communicating
guide will often invite them.
The mediums appearance,
body, face and voice, accent
and mannerisms will change to
that of their guide.
The more that the medium
works in this state with their
guide the more the blending
can take place and the more
clearly the guides physical
features/voice/mannerisms will
appear.
A truly tranced medium will not
be stuck for answers to
questions, though we may not
always hear what we expect.
Transfiguration
With transfiguration the face of
a spirit person can be seen
forming over the mediums face/
body.
It is best to do this mediumship
in a red light so the ectoplasm
can form over the sitters faces
without being destroyed.
The faces can be very clear at
times, with the mediums face
completely disappearing.
On other occasions many faces
can appear over a mediums face
quite rapidly but each one is
distinct from each other.
Features can be see, jewelry,
clothing type, hair type etc.
This type of physical
mediumship is usually done by
experienced physical mediums
who have a strong connection
with their guides and
understanding of mental and
physical
mediumship.
People do fear
trance or
physical
mediumship, if
they have not
experienced it
before or seen
it demonstrated.
It is one of the most used
forms of mediumship in
Victorian times.
A true blending of guide and
medium is a wonderful thing
to see demonstrated and to do
as a physical medium.
The most well-known spirit
guide to communicate through
their medium whilst in trance
is Silver Birch, through the
mediumship of Maurice
Barbanell.
Other famous trance mediums
in history have been Helen
Duncan and Gordon
Higginson, both who worked
tirelessly for spirit throughout
their physical lives.
When first working with
physical mediumship or trance
mediumship, an experienced
physical medium should always
be present to help both the
medium sitting for
trance and their
guide through this
process.
Their should be
great care taken
with the guide and
the medium at a
guided and controlled pace.
Care is also needed to make
sure that the medium is not
touched or shocked during
trance as this can be physically
harmful to them.
Therefore it is essential that
guidance is taken before
attempting full trance.
There are trance workshops
held where mediums are given
the opportunity to experience
this side of mediumship in a
controlled environment where
they are looked after and cared
for as they work with spirit in
this way.
When sitting for physical
mediumship people report
temperature changes in the
room, often with the
temperature dropping and it
feeling a lot colder in the room.
Physical mediumship energy is
a lot denser feeling than the
lighter energy used when work-
ing with mental mediumship,
(clairvoyance).
