Compelling Evidence in the Paranormal Field

10/10/2014

No matter how compelling the evidence is, the nonbeliever will always disbelieve whatever evidence you have.

In my opinion, some of the best evidence is the old photos taken from negatives. The reason for this is because you have the actually negative to compare and examine with the actual photo. These I think are better examples or proof is because they were taken before the age of computers, photo shop, and CGI.

There are several fantastic modern day photos and video that has captured some very interesting paranormal evidence in the present day, but as I mentioned earlier the nonbeliever will always be skeptical and there will always be a chance of tampering.

Bigfoot is Part of the Paranormal Field

10/6/2014

I know, Bigfoot isn’t a ghost, but you have to admit, it is out of the ordinary.

In 2009 when I first moved back to Florida and to St. Augustine, I played tourist often. I wanted to see everything and one day I decided to visit Fort Mose. When I got there, I realized there was no one else anywhere around.

I walked out the long boardwalk onto the marsh to see what was there and vision what was once there. As I was walking along and taking in the view and reading the historic signs, something caught my eye.

I heard movement off in the distance and when I looked up to see what it was I had to do a double take. I saw a rather large figure covered in what appeared to be reddish brown hair. It was a great distance away and on the marsh so it couldn’t and wouldn’t have been a human. It didn’t appear to have a neck, or a very short one if that. It appeared to be extremely tall, taller than any man and had very broad shoulders. It looked as if it were looking my direction. I then turned around to see if anyone else was there and might have seen it with me, but I was still totally alone. When I turned back around, it was gone!

Was it a Sasquatch? I don’t know for sure but ever since then I have more of a passion for the hairy guy.

Ghost Hunting & TV and Movies

10/6/2014

Movies and television have helped and hurt the paranormal field. Even though movies like Amityville Horror and The Exorcist are taken from true cases, Hollywood Sensationalism has blown the truths way out of proportion and has made the field look bad. Grant it, if the movies and tv shows were filmed like a typical investigation goes, viewers would be totally bored with it. Truth is, investigations can be very inactive but it is all in the name of research.

If movies like The Legend of Hell House, The Changeling, and Poltergeist were like a few of our recent investigations no one would watch them.
Recently, The Conjuring was in theatres and was taken from a true case from the 1970’s handled by Ed and Lorraine Warren and was done quite well and respectful to the field.
Television shows like John Zaffis’ Haunted Collector, The Dead Files, and Psychic Kid’s with Chip Coffey are some of my favorite and more reputable shows and I respect their work greatly. I have even had the opportunity to work with Zaffis and Coffey and have learned a lot from them and am thankful for the opportunities.
I have appeared on more than one paranormal television shows and am greatly pleased with how they were done and not dramatized to make things more exciting or “Hollywood”.
I am not going to land blast the television shows that I do not agree with but I do not believe in staging or rigging evidence, over dramatizing things, or plan making things up. I do try to watch as many of the paranormal shows as possibly to keep up to date with what is going on, but there are certain shows I like more than others.
Over dramatizing and making things up, or blowing them out of proportion make the entire field look bad and fake. It also gives us all a bad name. We aren’t all seeking fame or fortune. Most of us are seeking evidence, truth, and answers about our fascinating field.
When watching movies and television shows on the paranormal, take them with a grain of salt and if it looks too far out there to believe, than it probably is.
