Paranormal Vacations: UFOs, Bigfoot, Ghosts

 



It's time to plot your summer getaways. If you love the unexplained and want a vacation in a beautiful place the family will love, but also happens to have an X-Files vibe, here's some great ones -

Has Science Explained Residual Hauntings?

 



Residual ghosts

Having grown up in a very actively haunted Civil War hospital home (Aspen Grove in Fairfax, VA), I contemplated why we have these encounters that feel like we are witnessing history. 

Residuals with encounters have a very suspended and odd feel to them. For example, one of many residual ghosts at our home was a Civil War figure that was seen in a long window on the second floor, appearing to be smoking and looking out. He didn't see us outside staring up at him, was lost in his own world. Upon witnessing the figure, we felt a sense of being in a vacuum, suspended as if we met in a land between this world and that - a no man's land. 

I've long asked myself, why today? why this moment in time? 

Scientists have proven something called Time Mirrors.

Unlike normal mirrors that reflect space, time mirrors reflect reality backward in time. In the lab, scientists managed to reverse waves of light and sound, making them travel back to their point of origin instead of continuing forward. This breakthrough relies on manipulating the medium in which waves travel.


Let's look at another visually disorienting phenomena - 
Fata Morgana. This photo above shows what seems like a ship above the sea. This phenomenon happens when rays of light bend when they pass through air layers of different temperatures in a steep thermal inversion where an atmospheric duct has formed.

Under the right conditions, such things are glimpses of history playing in present day. 

As an investigator of ghostly phenomena, I have noted that on nights we investigate and a geomagnetic storm is occurring (the earthly effect of solar flares), we run into more ghostly activity. Is this a catalyst for Time Mirroring?

Statistically, most ghostly encounters are "residual" or lingering and replaying within the senses - visual, auditory, olfactory, or tactile. This glitch in time that allows mirroring is intriguing and also makes me ponder things like, when we get an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), perhaps we need to play these audio captures backwards, as the very act of time mirroring means going backward. 

These are exciting things to consider and I hope to continue to pursue this avenue of research.

The Alchemy of Hauntings

 



A person dies in a building and it's haunted, right?

Considering how many buildings and how many deaths, especially the fact that 100-year-old buildings had their residents dying in them regularly instead of hospitals, we should have a lot more haunting situations than we do.

Why does one building hold a haunting while another with a similar history does not?

I call such haunting buildings "Spirit Vessels"

Let's look at all the possible elements in creating a Spirit Vessel-


GEOLOGY/COPPER/QUARTZ/SPRINGS/LEYLINES

Mining towns like Tombstone are riddled with active hauntings, even though the buildings are wood structures - the copper running throughout the earth beneath the town seems to set an alchemy that counters poor building construction. Therefore, geology trumps building construction. Limestone is often found in haunting locations, as is granite, but it would appear that copper/quartz have an ability to be more potent to buildings that otherwise would be lesser vessels of spirits. Springs and waterways with moving water nearby are often reported near haunted sites and there are some theories about the inherent power of churning water. Leylines are the reported lines of energy running through the earth and where leylines converge, it is believed are power centers or vortexes. Many ancient sites are atop of such convergences, thought to be because of their amplified power.


CONSTRUCTION/BASEMENT/EARTH

Stone buildings seem to create their own sort of harnessing of energy and hold it within the walls. A building such as Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV, is a building that I consider to be the single best spirit vessel in America because it has all these traits - to an amazing degree. And, it even starts with being the largest stone building in America on top of great geology (limestone), running streams, cemetery, tragic history, plenty of deaths, feng shui - doors in hall do not line up....



FENG SHUI/LAYOUT/CONTENTS

In the case of Trans-Allegheny, the fact that the doors in the hall do not line up creates an interesting scenario in which the hallway would be particularly active, as energy can exit a doorway and be met with a wall and begin a bouncing journey through the hall. Had the doors lined up and energy could go in one doorway and through the other, you would have paths of energy you could walk through and feel, but nothing lingering. It's the cul-du-sac effect that makes this intriguing.



As well, we consider things like windows where energy comes through, darkness which attracts negative energy, clutter which attracts negative energy, proximity to a cemetery which causes negative energy, history of death which causes negative energy. This location has it all in spades.

AMOUNT OF DEATHS/TRAUMAS

Records had revealed thousands of deaths there, but this was not like a sanitorium where people were sick, weakened, and unable to put off the kind of mental trauma that we see in good haunting vessels. These people's mind energy and mental illness and inner torment was such that it basically stained the space.

When I speak about other dimensions in my theories about the other side, it's not sci-fi nonsense. A 2-D impression of us, a photograph, takes our 3D space and represents this 3D world in a 2D form. We are sharing our space in different ways. When we have trauma and death, we are imprinting the space in which we are in, that includes the other dimensions in which this ghostly activity comes from. If I stop and take a look at the 2D photographic version of me in my 3D world, I appreciate what it represents and there is an interaction. When we pass into the next dimension (I think a better term than "world"), we have marked an area in the 3D world that still can detect that portal we utilized. It has changed our 3D environment in that spot, a moment in which we turned from 3D form in this physical world to the next realm.


CUMULATIVE EMOTIONAL CONTENT/MENTAL ILLNESS


Continuing on the theme in the last paragraph, imagine the imprint we leave in spaces by trauma, anguish, mental illness, fighting, and arguments? Why do you think battlefields, prisons and asylums feel so powerful? The spiritual aspect of us (that which moves to the next dimension upon death) senses these things of the next realm - spirit knows. That's the same as psychic skills. Psychic skills are basically utilizing the spirit that can touch, feel and sense the next realm.

INFRASOUND/SOLAR/GEOMAGNETIC STORMS


Why would solar flares have an effect? Well, the geomagnetic storms that result from them do seem to have an effect on human physiology and we still do not know what effect this might have on stone, buildings, and activity in general. Infrasound's effects on something as simple as water molecules is an interesting realization - if it does this to water - what does it do to our bodies? People in the range of infrasound (sound waves below our ability to hear with our ears) often report feelings of paranoia, being watched, seeing shadow people....

HUMANS/EMOTIONS/PHYSIOLOGY/BELIEF

The humans interacting in the building, living there, perceiving the hauntings have their own body physiology--electrical and chemical, their own physiologic reaction to drugs/geomagnetic storms/and stress, combined with belief systems and interpretation skills that either enhance the ghostly encounters or perhaps stimulate them. Sensitives/empaths/psychics and those who have encountered paranormal in other residences, might be better activators or attractors of activity. The emotional state of the people within the building - whether they congregate for prayer or they have repressed anger, all have vastly different effects on the environment. The accepted belief that humans create or instigate poltergeist activity in the form of psychokinesis is a valid one. I, myself, have seen objects move toward me that were metal - defying all physics as we know it. I became a momentary magnetic of sorts. Hmmm....

HAUNTED FORMULA

A study I performed in 2009 about 50 very active haunted locations around the country revealed some very intriguing findings.

"Haunted Formula" (50 sites) This was looking at 6 traits of a site to find out how many of these traits each site had to get a "number" on how haunted it was. 5-6 was exceptionally active, 3-4 was mild haunting and less was not very active or not active at all. (6 traits - geology, construction, waterway nearby, railroad tracks nearby, death, older than 50 years)

Geology (in order of most potent geology and then descending in importance)

1. Limestone: 13 of 14 sites with limestone ranked a 5 or 6 on the haunted scale

2. Shale: 12 of 13 sites with shale ranked a 5 or 6 on the haunted scale

3. Sandstone: 20 of 22 sites with sandstone ranked a 5 or 6 on the haunted scale

4. Granite: 1 of 2 sites with granite ranked a 5 or 6 on the haunted scale.

Sedimentary is a rather vague title for a type of geology and just about all the 50 sites had this kind in one way or another, but then a great majority of the land in the US is sedimentary, so that's not necessarily significant, except that volcanic areas seemed to be very devoid of activity, except mining towns.

WATERWAYS: (I considered if the site was within a mile of running water, stream, river, ocean)

41 of 50 sites had this feature--that is very significant. It's also hard to discover whether or not the other 9 sites had underground springs, so it's a very hard one to judge. Also, people tended to build homes near waterways long ago before we had wonderful plumbing and such. I did not, however, find one super haunted site that did not have water nearby.

TRAINS: This one intrigued me because of the strange correlation, but now I am leaning more toward it being an incidental finding and considering removing it from the formula all together which might alter a few things, but statistically it wasn't horribly impressive and, as I said, people tended to build older homes near trains and trains tended to be built near towns.

32 sites had train tracks nearby, 18 did not.


DEATH/TRAUMA:

42 of 50 sites.

OLDER THAN 50 YEARS:

All 50 sites


CONSTRUCTION:

Masonry/block/brick were 43 of the 47 that could be judged (one place was a sign, one place was a ship, and one place was a cemetery, so construction could not be included)

Frame were 4 of 47.


PUTTING IT TOGETHER

In conclusion, we find that there are many factors to consider in whether a site could have a potential haunting and perhaps even the type of haunting -- feng shui could tell you where activity might pool in a building, the trauma history of when people left this realm for the next might show you hot spots, the geology and construction might tell you if it is even a potential vessel, given its history, and the emotional/physiologic/mental condition of the people investigating on the team can have an effect, as well. If the environment affects us and we affect the environment, we could be creating an alchemy in a moment in time in a space in this dimension that leaves a beacon or a memory for all time. In the right conditions, it becomes activated.

It's a good idea to consider all these aspects and even to have investigators write down their emotional or even hormonal states before a study and have them fold that up and put it away until afterwards so you can compare them with who was having issues or near the action or perceiving the action or feeling weird with what was going on in their emotions/hormones that day. We learn much this way, even to know what day you personally will have more encounters.

CHECKLIST FOR POTENTIALLY HAUNTED SITES


Geology/waterways/leylines (you can look up county/state geology maps online, waterways show up on Mapquest when you punch in the address of the site, as well as railroad tracks, and leylines can be determined by the use of divining rods)

Feng shui (nearby cemetery/clutter/darkness/odd dead end rooms/energy paths not getting a straight run, cul-du-sac places for energy)

Multiple deaths and trauma (use of building in the past, manner of death being not anticipated)

Generations of negative emotional content (troubled families and family members)

Infrasound/geomagnetic storms (Are these things at play?)

The humans within and their mental states/psychic abilities (what's up with the research team and the people who dwell in the building?)

Why Do Ghost Investigators Work at Nighttime?

 


It's easy to get caught up in the delicious spookiness of working at night, poking around an empty building in search of ghostly encounters, but there are some very real-world reasons we study at nighttime -

Why It's Nearly Impossible For Equipment to Get Hard Evidence of Ghosts


 I often advocate ghost hunting without equipment. The reason I do this is you are almost surely not going to get any definitive proof of encounters if you are utilizing equipment. Why is this?

Mesa Arizona Hauntings



I have an ongoing study of the City of Mesa and unusual ghostly findings that may have ancient roots.


Ancient HoHoKam canals map

I kept getting people from the city of Mesa, Arizona complaining about ghostly issues that seemed to repeat themselves in description by many people.

I looked around at the geology and found nothing of significance or in the history of the town, except if you go back to ancient times and a missing tribe called the HoHoKam whose canal system fed from this area.

As well, upon visiting one of their mounds in Mesa behind the hospital off of Country Club Road, I learned that many neighbors around that mound area have these same haunting issues on a larger scale.


In my studies of the characteristics of haunted locations, ancient sites, mining geology, and waterways are significant.

I've had a substantial reporting for several years. Anyone with more to add, please let me know at ghosthuntingtheories@gmail.com or comment anonymously below -

People in the area report:

Voices
Knocking
Doors opening and closing
Apparitions
Feelings of being watched/doom/uncomfortable
Shadow people
Objects being thrown
Pets acting strangely

I am going to give some regions of the town I've heard from just from that post alone:

University west of the 101: (talking, footsteps, heavy sensation)

Country Club, North of 8th Ave: (report of haunting)

University and Gilbert: (footsteps, shuffling sounds, voices, uneasy heavy feeling, cat and child reported but not living there)

West of Ellsworth between McDowell and McKellips: (seeing things in windows, voices)

Main and Extension: (heavy feelings, unsettling)

East of Country Club, South of Brown: (small child, growls, cabinet opening, mists, crying, screaming, shadow figures, eerie feelings)

Country Club, south of Broadway: (talking, touching, shadow person, apparitions)

South of Main, West of Extension: (uneasy feelings, apparitions, sounds, voices)

East of Mesa Dr., North of University: (voices, uncomfortable feelings)

Stapley and Brown: footsteps, apparitions, blinds moving, physical touching, electrical issues.

Broadway and 2nd Ave: Apartments reportedly haunted

North of Southern, West of Gilbert: (Being touched, poked, feeling uneasy)

South of McDowell, West of Usery Pass: (People seen in windows when house is empty, voices)

University, west of Stapley: (Believed to be child ghost playing tricks on office workers, female apparition, believed to be 1920s era)

East of Extension, North of 8th Ave: (pots and pans falling, man breathing, footsteps, doors opening and closing)

Country Club and McKellips: (sounds in closet, male apparition seen by child, doors opening, toys moving)

University, East of Ellsworth: (someone reporting a haunting)

Country Club and Guadalupe: (balls of light, feeling of being watched, objects moving, tapping on window, scratching on walls, child reporting apparition, electrical turning on and off, adult saw apparition of boy in overalls)

First Avenue, East of Mesa Dr.: (report of tunnels under the old downtown area from the Mormon Temple and outward)

Aspen Ave. off Jefferson Park: (cats watching things that aren't there)

Gilbert and University: (footsteps, being watched, being pushed, someone turning doorknob, animal seeing things not there, closets opening and closing)

East of Center Street, north of the consolidated canal: (hearing voices)

Val Vista and University: (child apparition)

South of Brown and East of Country Club Dr.: Apparently possessed by a demon.

I'm looking for characteristics that might explain an entire city having issues with haunting more than the usual. I'm all about commonalities and repeatability.

Is Consciousness the Key to Interaction With Aliens, Ghosts, Bigfoot?

 


I've long held the concept that you don't need equipment to make interactions with other realms. Too many researchers run around staring at screens and awaiting magical words to be pulled from the radio frequencies in hopes of having "proof" of interaction. They literally miss the actual method by which you interact.

Methods For Keeping Your House Haunt-Free

 



Even a perfectly fine suburban tract home and suddenly seem like the Munster's house of weird when unexplained things begin to happen, like cabinets opening and closing on their own, shadows walking the hallways, or voices whispering in an empty room. 


Methods for getting rid of such energy vary greatly and most depend a great deal on what you personally believe would be efficacious because your very confidence manifests results. 


Here's some things to try -

Can You "Manifest" Ghosts to Leave? Yes, You Can!

 


The very principals of "The Secret," involve ancient practices of refocusing the mind to what you want instead of what you don't want. This practice is called manifesting. 


If it works so well to give you what you want, can it work to get rid of what you don't want? 


Kinda, yeah -

How Manifesting Works in the Paranormal Realm



It is popular today to discuss the concept of manifesting. It is a motivational way to reframe your life so that you imagine as clearly as you can, focus on completely the success/goal you desire. You then begin to live and act as if it has already happened. And then the universe brings you many surprises that lead to that goal. 

I think we can all agree that when we think we can't speak in front of an audience, our minds go blank. That is manifesting in a simple but very real form.

In the field of paranormal research, how you handle the unexplained follows principles of both manifestation and cognitive distortions resulting in panic, anxiety and helplessness or inquisitiveness, wonder, and insight.

In other words, if you go into a situation imagining what would happen if you got possessed, you upped your chances of being possessed. If you think you might hear something you can't explain and it's a ghost, when you hear a noise you will assume it is a ghost.

As we have no real objective evidence of ghosts or hauntings, we are stuck in the subjective and that has to process through a person's background, belief system, knowledge, sensitivity, religion, culture, and more.

I have spent many decades chasing after the unexplained, even being raised since I was a baby in a Civil War hospital that also saw battles on the property. Never once in all that time I have been threatened, possessed, attached, pushed down stairs, or any other calamity. 

In fact, it is not even in my belief system, so it is virtually impossible for me to have such issues. 

Our world is a series of events and then our own take on those events. The way we handle it has much to do with how we handled it in the past, what we believe that we have been told about how the world works, and whether we look for what's right or wrong.

When I approach a haunted location, I have a bit more senses to help me understand the energies around me, but I also approach it with curiosity. No threat. No fear. I anticipate contact and interaction. I invite the location to show its message. I expect a new experience that will enlighten me further.

How we interpret sounds, object movement, and shadows all help to manifest different experiences. I was once on an investigation when a cup flew across the room. The person with me told the story later on of the "attack" and threat, even hearing a growl and seeing a shadow - experiences I did not interpret. In fact, it seemed like an ideal burst of energy to get our attention. 

Sometimes, ghostly phenomenon seems to act like kids tugging on your pant leg. They try real hard to get your attention and when you don't respond, they tug too hard.

To me, it was a random set of circumstances that allowed us to turn our attention to a force in the room.

There is one simple reality about manifesting in the spirit world - 

You will encounter what you believe is possible.

Popular Types of Ghosts



In the arena of ghosts, there are some popular players that show up over time and location. Some of the more popularly and often reported ghosts are going to be reviewed here today. Chances are your home, your friend's home, your neighbor's home, your neighborhood, your town might have at least a few of these. 

Crybaby Bridges


(Anderson, SC)

Cry baby bridges involve legends of or actual events of a child being pushed over the bridge and dying or jumping from the bridge, or some other tragedy associated with the bridge involving a child. The names of just some popular cry baby bridges in Ohio are; Rogue's Hollow, The Screaming Bridge of Maud Hughes Road, Egypt Road in Salem, Wisner Road and Helltown. That's just one state!

These are the cry baby bridges just in the state of Oklahoma as reported on Wikipedia:

In Alderson, near McAlester, the bridge is located at the end of Alderson Road and has been known to legends of a woman who was raped by her father several times and would throw her unwanted infants off the bridge. Local residents have reported sounds of babies crying underneath the bridge late at night and also the glowing image of the woman has been seen numerous times floating over the rocky bed of North Boggy Creek.

In Moore, approximately 2 miles east of Sooner Rd. on 134th St. there is a collapsed and abandoned bridge. Legend of a woman and infant in their vehicle falling through the wood of the bridge during late-night hours, a few days later the vehicle and remains were discovered by law enforcement patrolling the area. As for the bridge, it was never repaired and the road was therefore deemed unsafe and was closed off to vehicles, the cry of the baby is rumored to be heard during overnight hours.

In Kellyville, approximately 1.63 miles east of the Slick/Kellyville Road on West 181st street on the north side, there is the original bridge abutments off of the new road. Legend of a woman and her infant child driving down the road trying to escape her husband. The woman's car ran off the bridge and the baby was never found. Legend continues that if the bridge is visited at midnight the baby's cry can be heard and sometimes accompanied by a strange blue light.




La Llorona



The legend of La Llorona is from our legend-filled neighbors to the south of the United States. It is a legend repeated in some form or another in many cultures around the world. There are a lot of explanations for why the La Llorona exists, most having to do with a woman who met a man but he didn't want children, so she drowned her children. She rushed back to tell her lover what she had done and how much she loved him, that she would drown her own children, he was repulsed and rebuked her. She then wandered in search of her children. Some say, she was turned down at Heaven and forced to go back to earth and find her children. Her spirit is said to wander in the desert washes crying out for her babies. She is the equivalent of the lady in white in the United States.  In the UK, the equivalent is the banshee.

There is a different version in every area. Here is one shared by a woman about the Tucson La Llorona.

"The Tucson, Arizona version of La Llarona was a promiscuous lady who didn't like to be bothered with children. Whenever she had a baby, she would take it down to the river and drown it.

When she herself died and tried to get into Heaven, St. Peter told her that she couldn't get in unless she brought all her dead babies with her. So now she wanders along the river, wailing for her lost children. Not surprisingly, they haven't come back to her.

Don't leave your baby alone in the dark or let your little ones wander around at night alone, because La Llarona will take them in hopes of fooling St. Peter. —Maureen








Hitchhiking Ghosts



The most famous (or infamous) of the hitchhiking ghosts comes from Illinois and she was known as Resurrection Mary (named for the cemetery she was associate with).  

Back in the 1930s, drivers along Archer Avenue were reporting a girl in white was attempting to jump on running boards. More recent drivers claim stopping to give her a ride and one she's in the car, she disappears right at Resurrection Cemetery, before they get to her destination. She is seen to dart in and out around the cemetery and sometimes, right in front of cars, leading drivers to believe they hit someone. One of the legends associated with her is that she went stormed home on foot from a dance after an argument with her boyfriend and got hit by a car and is buried in the cemetery. 





Lady in White



This ghost is usually associated with a legend in a rural area of some tragedy. The woman, in a long white gown is still seen wandering. Some are attached to stories of losing a husband, being rebuked by a lover, or even being a harbinger that someone is about to die.

The White Lady of Acra (NY) is a legend of a young woman dressed in all white supposedly seen at night along the road she last traveled on or near the cemetery not far from her fatal accident. (Interestingly similar to the legend of Resurrection Mary).

It would seem that a great deal of female apparitions seen by people involve a gown, often a light/white gown, giving way to even more reports of white lady ghosts.




Stair-Climbing Ghosts


In terms of Feng Shui, the study of energy "chi" and how it flows, stairways are great raceways for energy. Why do we have so many stairway ghosts? I'd say the likely reason is very logical - stairways easily creak compared to floorboards because of the way they are supported. They have also had people climbing up and down them for decades, sometimes centuries. That common pattern is bound to lay down some memories. 

In the home I grew up in, we have a very famous stair climbing ghosts. We called him the soldier with no boots. The legend told to us when we moved in and my mother asked the previous owner about the sounds, was that a soldier had been in there during the Civil War and fighting broke out. He rushed outside to give aid with his gun, leaving his precious boots his parents had given him, up in the room. He was killed. He kept going back for those boots. Each night, he climbed the stairs and headed down the hall to the middle bedroom where he would come to rest before the radiator, the board sighing with his weight, as if the fibers of the house recalled this event over and over again. 



Bedsheet-Mussing Ghosts 



They tuck you in, they pull the sheet off your feet. These playful ghosts are sometimes very unsettling. On Ghost Hunters show, Grant spent a night in an infamously haunted room at the Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona where something moved his bedding as he slept. 

I had an incident at the Hotel Vendome in Prescott, Arizona that unsettled me greatly. I do not like hospital corners, I feel trapped in the sheets, so I was pulling the sheets out of the corners of the bed before going to sleep. My friend who was staying in the haunted room with me thought it was hilarious that I am scared of tight sheets, but she knew my routine. So, I got ready, climbed into bed, took a few pics of the room to compare in the morning. I woke up at night, hearing something in the closet, and feeling something bumping the bed. I thought someone was in the room. I picked up the camera and took a shot. Then, I realized that my feet were tucked in tightly with a hospital corner, in fact, my toes were pointed it was so tight. I panicked and my friend woke up and saw that I was trapped as I pulled the sheets back out from under the mattress. When the photo was checked later, it showed the closet door was wide open during the night. In the morning, when I took the pictures, it was closed again. 

The most extraordinary one was in Gettysburg. Julie and I stayed at Federal Pointe Inn (I highly recommend it). We went to bed at night and the air conditioning made the room really cold. I kept pulling the blankets over me and then I would wake up and they weren't there. I found them halfway off the end of the bed one time. The next time, on the floor on the other side of the bed. The next time, a few feet away from the foot of the bed. The last time, they were all the way at the opening to the reading room about 15 feet away! I got really mad, wrapped myself up like a mummy and said out loud, "these are MY blankets."

How To Attract Spirits



If you watch ghost hunting shows, by now you’ve probably noticed something interesting. Certain investigators seem to attract action. Others seem to be forever waiting for an encounter.

The Science of the Paranormal



I have worked on many cases where a benign entity wanted to reach out to a relative. The living relative, due to TV shows, movies, or religion had a view of paranormal events as threatening.

Joe Ghost: Do We Psychically Tag Places?


We are reviewing some interesting evidence accrued during our team, Arizona Paranormal Research, did an investigation in the house I'm living in. The prior resident had died and he had an unusual background of interest and teachings in healing, spirituality, and also believed himself to be an alien abductee. Since moving into the home, we've had lots of signs that Joe is still among us, so my team set out to do an investigation and I started it off with a seance.
