Ghost Chasing Need To Know

Deployment Floor Plans

2012-02-25T14:26:00.000-08:00

Floor plans are necessary for many reasons. First, it's important to mark down all the locations of where the claims of activity occurred. This can help identify patterns that could explain the activity. Such as exposure to high EMF, or the lesser known CO2 poisoning has been known to cause allot of paranormal claims. Although CO2 poisoning besides causing identical symptoms as exposure to high EMF will also cause sickness, and death. If the activity is focused in a particular area a floor plan would point out a location of interests.

Second, equipment deployment which means strategically placing equipment from your arsenal to improve your odds of catching activity. This is critical since you never know when or where it's going to occur. It's always a good idea to have the odds in your favor. Support equipment, such as a level, simple air streamers, or a geophone placed along side of the trigger object such as a ball for example, to debunk claims of external forces causing the event. Placing these simple tools in the room will help support your claims of catching paranormal evidence, and can validate the event as being truly paranormal.

Last but not least showing equipment placement will aid in debunking activity if there's ever any question on what was caught during evidence review. This will also keep you from loosing equipment when it's time to retrieve it at the end of your investigation.

Preston Castle private investigation 2010

2012-02-18T11:20:00.000-08:00

Preston Castle is brilliantly illuminated from all sides at night as the local landmark in Ione, California. The Preston Castle foundation will shut off all the power to the facility just before our investigation begins. The structure gets very dark very quickly. Our only source of light is from our night vision cameras, and a couple small flashlights. The building takes on an eerie stillness with heavy dust covered corridors. In the darkness the stairway that will take us to the second floor, and Anna Corbin’s room. The old building abandoned decades ago with its crumbling walls, and floors feels very much alive. There are voices, and sounds of movement coming from the empty rooms. In Anna’s room the flowered curtain are still covering the transom above her door. Anna Corbin was brutally murdered in 1957 her body was later found underneath a stairway in a small room off of the kitchen in the basement.

We lay roses at both locations underneath the stairway, and on the floor in Anna’s room that had been said to be Anna's favorite flower out of respect, and remembrance. I felt a sense of peace in Anna’s room, but other parts of the Castle such as the makeshift chapel in the basement was a different story. The chapel has a band of crucifixes painted around the entire room. At one end of the room a hand drawn mural depicting a man behind bars. Only through prayer, and worship at the feet of the Madonna would he be set free. In an adjoining room a four foot statue of the Virgin Mary with flowers, and candles placed at her feet. I avoided looking over at the statue her eyes seem to follow me around the room. My thoughts where about how out of place this room was, and the overwhelming feeling to get out!

Pamela the lead investigator starts her EVP session asking if Anna would communicate by speaking into her voice recorder, or moving a small ball that she placed on the floor. After 35 minutes we hear movement down the hall from the floor above us, so we proceeded into the room called the library where we hear heavy footsteps coming from the ceiling of someone, or something walking across the floor. We asked our Preston foundation escort if there could be anyone on the third floor. He said no it's unsafe, and the floor has been sealed off. No sooner than that was said, the sound of scraping noises as if something heavy was being dragged across the floor at each footstep dust fell from the ceiling. We all stood in amazement looking up at the ceiling as boards popped, and groaned from the impact of each step. After 10 minutes the activity on the third floor abruptly stopped.

During all this time back in Anna's room the ball that refused to move all night started to roll not once, but four times back and forth. We discovered this only after reviewing the video from the camera used in Anna’s room that night. We all came away from Preston Castle with some type of paranormal experience, from being touched, doors opening, and closing, shadows moving across the room to a pleading disembodied voice of a woman asking for someone to speak to her.

There was a question about the ball rolling back and forth because the floor wasn't level. This picture shows that the floors are perfect in every way undamaged and level.

I am scheduled to return to Preston Castle for anotherinvestigation in March 2011 if only to find out what was on the third floor.

CGC has been looking into using RC devices to access areas that are hazardous, or restricted this is just one of many devices we are testing.

On March 19th, 2011 for the first time CGC used a programmable robot called Seeker 1 to explore inaccessible rooms on the third floor of Preston Castle. We recorded the sound of movement within the room, and a disembodied voice viewable on the video evidence below.

Seeker 1 3rd floor Preston Castle.

We recorded movement and a disembodied voice.

Investigation Reminders

1. No whispering.

2. Talk only whenneeded, and at a moderate levels. (No need to YELL)

3. Since the floorsare wood. We need to keep walking around at a minimum.

4. Check yourpersonal equipment before the investigation not during the investigation.

5. Remember you’rebeing recorded watch what you say, no jokes, or bad language.

6. Do not zoom into the shot move upto the shot; remember to frame equipment in your shot.

7. While asking anobject to move stay on the object, don’t start walking around the room.

Move extra equipment tocover activity there will be more than enough cameras to cover all four floors.If you move one let me know, and why. We need to take it upon ourselves tocheck all deployed equipment. Make sure everything is working properly.

(Cameras Recording, LightsOn, Low Batteries)

Notify Steve or Edward ifthere is a problem with any of the equipment.

Predisposition to Fearing the Paranormal

2012-02-08T00:03:00.000-08:00

My first encounter with the paranormal occurred when I was four years old. I arrived at my grandmother and grandfather’s house with my mother and sister to find my grandmother lying on the kitchen floor. My sister and I were rushed into another room as the ambulance attendants took her body away. I was too young to know or understand about death. That night, my mother, my sister, and I stayed together in a small bedroom right off the kitchen. Late that night my grandmother entered the room to check up on both of us kids, like she’d always done. My grandmother had watched us throughout the week while my mother worked, so it wasn’t unusual to have her check in on us in that very room. I woke up and started talking with my grandmother. Though I didn’t see her I felt her presence and smelled her perfume as she sat at the foot of the bed. Lying next to me, my mother was awakened when she heard me talking. As soon as my mother realized who I was talking to, she yelled out, “Oh, my God, my mother is in our room!” As my mother screamed, I saw the black shape of my grandma leave the room. I didn’t understand what happened, or why my mother was so upset. When I spoke with my grandmother, I didn’t feel afraid or threatened in any way in fact it was a calming, and reassuring experience. Throughout my childhood and early teenage years I would stay up all night watching the late-night creature features on television. They taught me to be afraid of shadows and whatever goes bump in the night. As a paranormal researcher, I still get caught up in the creepiness at some of the locations. A winery investigation our team experienced seemed as if it were taken right out of an old horror movie, even to details such as the howling dogs and the foggy nights. However, I have long since realized that, overall, there is nothing to fear. In reality, being touched, shoved, or even told to leave is more or less a way a spirit attracts one’s attention and it is not necessarily intended to harm, or frighten. We have found that communicating with the entity and even accepting the haunt can be turned into a workable arrangement. Acknowledging the entity can turn the haunt into a harmonious co-existence in most cases.

Then again on rare occasions we've come across entities that for no other reason frighten, and torment the living. In one encounter the entity mocked one of us, and purposely frightened the family. In this case the familyrequested the house to be blessed after the investigation. During the blessingwe kept audio recording, and picked up crying from one human female entity, andscreaming from something that we determined to be non-human. Afterwards the family returned with thefeeling that the house was fresh, and full of light with no further reported activity. Checking back weeks later with the family. They now feel comfortable living in their home. But still even though it was a bad encounter with an angry entity no one was physically harmed the team didn't feel uncomfortable while there.

Mini-Maglite Flashlight

We've all seen the MagLITE trick used by paranormalgroups. I'm going to explain how it works. It's simply a short circuit justlike bad wiring. They adjust the light until the circuit opens drawing currentfrom the batteries until the batteries start to drain, and is no longer able tojump the break in the circuit! .. Light goes off!

You can tell when the light starts to weaken just beforeit goes out. When the battery builds up a charge again to bridge the break inthe circuit .. Light goes on! .. It's a very consistent on, off!

Now ask a question to turn the light either on, or off? Anyone can do it!

Great FUN for the whole family just like Ouija boards .. Nospirits necessary!

Give it a try!!

The Reality of Paranormal Reality Shows

2012-01-31T15:05:00.000-08:00

People thathave seen shows like Ghost Hunters, and Ghost Adventures don't realize thatfilming a 40 minute show where it looks like they investigated over night, inreality took a film crew following your favorite investigator around onlocation an average of 10 days. They stay in wardrobe wearing identicalclothing during the filming, so in editing they match throughout the show.

Real paranormalinvestigations are usually limited to four, or five hours over the duration ofa single night. Rarely are we ever allowed to investigate a location longerthan one night. Regardless of how much we would want too! CGC is very thoroughin our analysis of the evidence. Even though capturing activity of any kind sincewe never know when or where it may occur is rare. We've over the years developednew methods of research, and have the capacity to deploy upwards of 15 cameras,and even more voice recorders to narrow the odds of finding something? Thenagain there have been investigations that produced no activity at all, or verysubtle activity during the length of the investigation.

CGC wants you to know that activity you may have seen on realityparanormal shows are not entirely real, and the quality of the activity duringthe single night can change in intensity in the days to come. If the activity you'reexperiencing wasn't real. We wouldn't be doing the research, and you wouldn'tbe inviting us into your home. We wanted to make sure that your expectationsare not based on what you may of seen on some paranormal reality TV shows.

It's fantasy or entertainment but people don't understand that their is a difference. That's why we created this client clarification of expectations. It has nothing to do with real research or any paranormal teams including TAPS. It's the client that's been groomed to expect a reality show result. That we needed to make a written distinction between the two.

Thermal Compression Theory

2012-01-16T19:56:00.000-08:00

When applying electromagnetic forces to control the motion of the surrounding molecules through acting upon their orbital electrons in the atoms of each molecule, and by having corresponding electromagnetic fields intersecting in the direction of motion bunches up and collides with the other air molecules. By repeating this process in rapid succession it may be possible to agitate enough molecules to alter the state of the atmosphere at the conversion point. Energy being transferred from molecule to molecule are exchanged and the balance of charge is altered. In the field paranormal researchers observe rapid fluctuations in temperature where heat is generated and then dissipated rapidly. In Maxwell’s Theory this would create the super cooling effect as the molecules returned to their abeyance state. This anomaly would appear to change its mass and or weight at the conversion point. The weight at the conversion point combined with motion could be used as force against objects.

Maxwell’s Theory:
Although air molecules are invisible, they still have weight and take up space. There are 2.7 x 1019 (approximately 30,000,000,000,000,000,000) molecules in every cubic centimeter of air. When you compress air, it heats up because the molecules in it are excited; when you decompress air, it cools down. If you were to take the heated compressed air and then allow the heat to dissipate before decompressing it, the cooling caused by the decompression will drop the temperature of the gas below its condensation point.

Thermal Compression Theory should explain hot, and cold spots observed during paranormal activity.

The entity projects an image of itself

2012-01-16T13:18:00.000-08:00

There is the question of why an apparition is described wearing clothing? The apparitions is nothing more than mind our physical self decays. The once living human being has been reduced to the memories of it's last day of life. The entity projects an image of how it last perceived itself at the point of death. As we sleep, all short-term memory is processed as long term physical memory. As we begin the day, our conscious self starts over. We make new choices: what to wear, what to do, with whom we will interact, and then consciously, and subconsciously, we organize our daily routine. Each day we start with a fresh perception of ourselves: how we look, what we wear, where we go. If you are nothing more than the sum of your experiences of the last day you lived, then you would project an image of how you last perceived yourself. This is why apparitions are depicted as having a human shape. We view ourselves as having a head, arms, and legs, and even visualize the clothes we last wore. As our presence disrupts the atmosphere surrounding our conscious self, we project the image as we last viewed ourselves.

EVP Training Sheet

2012-01-14T19:29:00.000-08:00

Remember the EVP ruleis pause betweeneach question for 15 seconds, and accompanying researchers must observe total silence. The only exception is tagging unavoidable noise. (Do not talk over each other's EVP.)

Take your base reading as soon as you enter the area.
Speak at a consistent and moderate tone of voice. (No whispering)
Avoid making any noises during the sessions (tag any noises that you’re responsible for, or any other unavoidable noises.)
Establish way’s to communicate through EVP (K-II, Knocking, and or other noises)
Keep questions short and to the point.
Stay away from YES/NO questions.

Procedure:

EVP session {number} the time is{time}{location}{area}

Example:EVP session 1 2:06 AM Stockton Basement

Example:EVP session 2 2:10 AM 2nd investigation Stockton Cellar

NOTE any anomalousfeeling, temperatures during session.

Eachaccompanying researcher must state their {name}.

(Used as a voice record for debunking)

If you can make a noise, or talk to me?

15 sec.

Introduce yourself:

My name is {...} I am a Paranormal Researcher.

Can youapproach me; get as close as you can to me; talk as loud as you can into this tool it can hear your voice. This tool cannot harm youin any way; it is the means to communicate with you.

What is your name?

15 sec.

Can you communicate by knocking? (2 Knock for YES) (3 for NO)

You can also use a K-II flashing lights. (Flash the lights 2 times for YES)(3 for NO)

15 sec.

Touch one of us?

Do you have a message for us, get as close as you can to me?

This is your chance to make a noise, or say something.

15 sec.

STOP- You may need to change your strategy, or move on to the next room?

{ask question} add any unusual feeling (I’m feeling cold!)

15 sec.

Howmany are there? Knock 2 times when I say the right number:

2,(5 sec.) 3, (5 sec.) more than 3?

15 sec.

EVP session end. Log end {time} stop recording.

The questions attempt to coerce them in to giving useableinformation.

Remember to stay away from YES/NO questions. You can ask aYES/NO question; just followed the question with a WHEN HOW WHAT WHY and WHERE.

Was this your ranch/farm/home/business; When did you live here?

If this isn't your ranch/farm/home/business; Why are you here?

Did you die here; How, andWhere did you die?

Try asking them to tell you about their lives.

Ask questions that would interest you, or encourage you to answer.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

What is your name

What is your last name

What do people call you

How old are you

Are you male, or female

Are you a little boy, or littlegirl

What year is it

Why are you here

How did you die

If you want us out! Tell us toleave

What do you want from thepeople here

How can we help you

Show yourself to us

Move something

Make as much noise as you can

Why are they afraid of you

Why are you trying to harm them

Why are you trying to frightenthem

EVP: I love you

This is an example of how long it took the entity to respond to the question: 14 seconds after the question was asked. If the researcher didn't wait the allotted amount of time she would of talked over the evidence.

Imprinting Theory

2012-01-13T15:51:00.000-08:00

Earlier Imprinting theories encompassed personal objects, belonging to a once- living human being, attaching their life-force to the object known as a Residual Haunt. In most cases the human being imprinted their life-force by repeating a routine over and over for years on end. We once thought that Residual Haunts were caused when the imprinter died, and the activity continued. What we eventually learned is that trauma can be imprinted in different ways, and there is no need for a death. There is a Residual Haunt in which trauma is imprinted by the victims. In one particular case, children were being abused. The children's fear played out over and over again in the haunt. The owner of the residence knew the family, and they are all very much alive. Conscious energy theory tells us that an entity is nothing more than an electromagnetic pattern; it wouldn't be unreasonable to believe that the pattern could be imprinted on any material that can sustain it. The structure itself can be constructed of a variety of materials, man-made or otherwise, that contain minerals.

The ground the structure is built on can contain deposits of minerals that will sustain the pattern. All that is needed is a good charge to replay the event or resurrect the pattern that is the conscious energy of the entity. Most paranormal researchers believe that this is why during an electrical storm, when the atmosphere is charged, reports of paranormal activity increase. This also means that doing away with the haunt is much more difficult, since any old patterns that have been imprinted throughout the location can be resurrected. Besides electrical storms, a variety of common human activity can resurrect the patterns.

Construction is commonly reported as the cause of new or increased activity. It's not so much that the entity likes or dislikes what you are doing. In this case, it's the powerful tools and equipment being used which send spikes of EMF through a once-dormant location thus resurrecting the patterns. Another form of imprinting is caused by death itself. When a body dies, the life force energy begins to dissipate, leaving its pattern on that spot. It's similar to a Residual Haunt, except there is nothing being played out. All that is left behind is the static image of a once living human being at the time of death.

Bio-electrical Finger Print - Imprinting Theory

There is this fine line yet to be explored in understanding this category of haunt. That's one of the reasons behind my interest in investigating roadside memorials. Imprinting as in residual activity, ownership, or bonding to an object like a Doll. If someone died in an accident, and then was laid out on the side of the road would they leave a bio-electrical finger print on that spot as the body dissipates? The trauma itself would of already occurred in the vehicle at the instance of the fatality. So we're not really looking for a Ghost, but maybe another category of imprinting, or different type of residual haunt? I believe it's a completely new category of haunt a type of bio-electrical image that could exist. I'm not sure on what wavelength you would capture an image like that, so I never really pursued it, but it's always been in the back of my mind. Obviously this needs a working hypothesis. An extension of the imprinting theories, or maybe a completely new theory. I found technology that can be adapted that would answer a lot of my questions, but it needs more thought. It would be interesting to see if you would pickup anything with an EVP at such a spot. This leads me to explore a new category imprinting the biophysical death.

Update

EVP session was conducted at a roadside memorial in a secluded area near Vernalis California. Humming was picked up audibly by both researchers, and one voice recorder as the sound anomaly walked around us. The roadside memorial had names on the two larger crosses. There was two smaller crosses with no names placed in the front facing the side of the road.

Porcelain Doll

The 19th century porcelain doll. Not only are they the creepiest things ever, but the paint on them are high in led, and mercury. The horse hair originally used on the heads of the Doll was replaced with human hair because it was softer. In the late 1840s the popularity of this Doll peaked with millions being sold. This would been a child's most cherished possession. The materials in the object, led for instance would lend itself to storing the bio-electrical pattern of the possessor. I've always have been fascinated by residual, or object possession. CGC has studied personal objects to see if the once living human being that owned it imprinted their bio-electrical pattern on the object? One object stands out in particular was a book published in the 1860's of the collective works of Charles Dickens. When we charged it with an ionizer, and asked who owned this book? We recorded an EVP in a female voice "It's Haunted." I've charged other objects on the hunt for a residual that moves. Such as the stories of a haunted porcelain Doll where the head, and arms move as if it's still being played with.

By Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at City College of New York

2012-01-13T15:43:00.000-08:00

"We live in a three-dimensional world. Although we can conceive of three-dimensions or less the one-dimensional line and the two-dimensional surface it is difficult for us to imagine dimensions higher than three. However, mathematicians conducting research into space claim to be able to visualize four-dimensional space, and four-dimensional space can cast three-dimensional image, or a shadow of itself. At present, we perceive a rich world it has color, people live in it, and there is nature that extends out into space. However, if we consider this concept of light and shadow from a wider perspective, this world itself could be the shadow cast by some other great world. Early mathematicians perceived this as a possibility. The fourth dimension is the only other dimension that can cross through our three-dimensional plain of existence. Four-dimensional space can cast a three-dimensional image, or a shadow of itself."

Dimensional Theory

2012-01-12T14:01:00.000-08:00

After our three-dimensional shell decays, what is left is Conscious Energy. We are comprised of matter and energy, and as energy, our consciousness could pass from this three-dimensional world into a 4th dimensional existence.

What is a 4th Dimensional Being

A four-dimensional entity can see across infinite three-dimensional plains of space in a four-dimensional world. A four-dimensional entity would be spread across multiple adjacent three-dimensional planes of space. A four-dimensional entity could be taking up the exact space you are in. In the four-dimensional world, the four-dimensional entity could see you by looking across the multiple three-dimensional planes of space to the one you’re in. If you could moved past the four-dimensional entity in your three-dimensional space, it would constantly change shape. If the four-dimensional entity passes through your three-dimensional space you would only be able to see a three-dimensional cross section that would constantly change shape until it completely vanished. A four-dimensional entity can see all sides of a three-dimensional object at once. A three-dimensional object can generate two-dimensional shadows on two-dimensional surfaces. A four-dimensional entity can generate three-dimensional shadows on three-dimensional perimeters.

If our consciousness can transcend the dimensions, then what we are observing could be nothing more than shadows of a 4th dimensional existence, and would explain activity in places like cemeteries. My team has worked on ways to validate this theory. In our dimensional experiment we would be setting up multiple simultaneous experiments. The focus would be on conducting an EVP session of a deceased individual at multiple locations in the individuals life: where they died, where they lived, where they was laid to rest. Each team would be given a list of identical questions. Each question would be asked simultaneously at a predetermined time.

Dimensional Theory Experiment

When ever you plan an experiment like this every question is scrutinized to eliminate contamination. Remember your results shapes your theory which leads to new theories. By reviewing the audio for simultaneous responses would validate the experiment.

I've always wondered why there is a spiritual presents in graveyards? No one dies there? If 4th dimensional theories are correct this would explain the presents, and if we can prove a 4th dimensional existence. Would we then prove life after death? In conclusion by reviewing the audio for identical simultaneous responses would validate the experiment, and would point to a possible 4th dimensional existence.

Dimensional State Experiment – Mountain Mike's Pizza Manteca California

We planned this experiment at a known haunt. Where over the past year from 2010 through 2011 we have had an ongoing dialog with an entity that was very consistent with it's responses. We wanted to know what state of being the entity was in? Through our research we've determined that there are only two logical possibilities. Three-Dimensional State such as the one we exist in now, or a Fourth-Dimensional Being?

The video below documents how we tested our theory.

4th dimensional consciousness theory

In my book I credit Shadow Art for my insight into 4th dimensional theory that a non-descript object can project a recognizable silhouette of what can be mistaken as us. (4th dimensional Theory) Energy should be able to pass through the dimensions. The 4th dimension over laps the 3rd if a 3 dimensional being can cast a 2 dimensional shadow then a 4th dimensional being can cast a 3 dimensional shadow. If a 3 dimensional shadow of a 4th dimensional being passed through our 3 dimensional plain of existence. The appearance would seem to fade in and out as it passes through solid structures, only to dissipate as it crosses between our 3 dimensional perimeters.

Testing Equipment In The Field

2012-01-11T07:12:00.000-08:00

Part of our methodology is to asks HOW, and WHY. There are a lot of claims that new equipment feeds the Ghost in some mysterious way? As soon as we make contact with the entity. We isolate a new piece of equipment in this case a negative ionizer. The claims are that the negative ionizer charges the atmosphere like an electrical storm, and the entity can use that to manipulate its environment. So we asked! Does this tool (negative ionizer) in this other room help you, or hurts you? The response we got from the entity was "IT HURTS!"
It seems like the jury is still out on the EM Pump? The entity doesn't really know what it is?

Acoustical Energy Theory

2012-01-10T22:37:00.000-08:00

The theory states that disembodied voices are the result of manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum, thus transmitting its low electromagnetic frequencies through a solid surface to produce acoustical or audible sound.

Induction Dynamics® SolidDrive® is a powerful hidden sound transducer that transmits acoustical energy through almost any solid surface. The entire surface becomes a speaker delivering high-quality sound.

This technology that incorporates a similar concept. In many investigations, the entity had to be standing on top of me for the recording device to pick up the very low sound frequency that the entity was producing. I believe the entity was deflecting its Acoustical Energy off the device itself. The human voice is capable of various frequencies between 300 Hz and 3000 Hz. Any voice recorded below or above this range could not be created by human vocal chords, and would be a valid Electronic Voice Phenomena. As human beings we learn to speak at an early age it is an ingrained part of our conscious self. Our conscious self projects the sound of our voice. It is the manipulation of electromagnetic frequencies that is the essence of our consciousness which in turn reproduces patterns of audible sound by resonating nearby objects converting the electromagnetic frequencies into acoustical energy commonly known as a disembodied voice. In my original theory I held that the Acoustical Energy created in this manner could produce sound that would envelop the area in which it was being generated. This was known as Omni-Sound Theory, meaning that the sound being generated would come from all directions simultaneously.

Testing This Theory

I used the Zoom H2 360 degree recorder with 2 front left, and right channels, and 2 rear left, and right channels, I was able to show, from the sound levels on each channel, the direction and linear path of the disembodied voice, thus disproving my original theory that the acoustical sound being generated was omni-directional. It could be that the electromagnetic frequencies are being targeted, generating acoustical sound as it impacts at or near its intended target.

We know by testing with Zoom 360 microphones that the entity targets it's electromagnetic voice. We've laid out voice recorders in circles, end to end, side to side, directly in front of the researchers. We found the entity targets it's response. In one experiment when we looked at the audio from the Zoom 360 mics it showed a linear path across the room to the researchers recorder, and the response was only on that recorder. We've setup the team around a table with their recorders in front of them showing targeted responses.

Pseudo-science

2012-01-10T22:27:00.000-08:00

Much work that is produced in the realm of theoretical science appears to be outside of the standard scientific channels. These may or may not be considered pseudo-science. So the National Science Foundation sought to define the difference between the theoretical in science and the theoretical in the paranormal by identifying ten subjects, including haunted houses. According to their conclusions, belief in these subjects is constituted as pseudo-scientific. The categorizing of these subjects as pseudo-science was meant to dismiss the concept of earthbound entities while embracing alien life possibilities. There is a phenomenon that exists right here on earth of some sort of, yet unknown, life form that may be well documented, but because of the label pseudo-science, the technical professionals and funding that are needed to further the research are virtually non-existent. This leaves serious researchers little to no alternative but to cater to the public's current fascination with the paranormal. Giving tours of haunted houses or midnight walks through cemeteries has nothing to do with actual research, but are necessary to generate the funds required for specialized equipment and staffing. The stigma of being labeled a pseudoscience incites the subject of ghosts and the paranormal as a topic of humor. And unfortunately, there are a lot of frauds, and the falsifying of data for the purpose of notoriety. This also includes the effort to promote that not-so-haunted, overpriced hotel room in the middle of nowhere. Most paranormal researchers believe in legitimate research with real results. We can prove paranormal activity, but we can't prove that ghosts exist. I believe that, through the efforts of paranormal researchers like myself, we will.

Conscious Energy Theory

2012-01-10T22:11:00.000-08:00

There has been a growing interest in the concept of the mind as a conscious form of energy. Parapsychologists have long since studied physical energy and how it can be triggered by thought. Laboratory tests demonstrate that a weak coupling between physical energy and a sort of human "magnetic field" around the body that can move or influence objects. The research of Dr. Celia Green of the Institute of Psychophysical Research found that 12% of single (OBE) cases occurred during sleep, 32% when unconscious, and 25% were associated with some kind of psychological stress, such as worry, extreme fatigue, or fear. Such as the extreme fear that would accompany physical trauma. (i.e. Death)

In 1968 Dr. Green published an analysis of 400 first-hand accounts of out-of-body experiences. This represented the first attempt to provide taxonomy of such experiences once viewed as simply anomalous perceptual experiences, or hallucinations.

In this theory we are focusing specifically on the kind of energy that is associated with consciousness, our brains higher-level biophysical energy. In the case of out-of-body experiences, the consciousness seems to depart the body for brief periods, enabling observation of the world from a point of view other than that of the ones own physical body. This usually occurs under trauma, or extreme stress. For example, when one’s heart stops beating momentarily, the shock of the event could cause an out-of-body experience. You could be a witness to your own death, or you could be falling from a great height, realizing that death is imminent. At the moment of death, the link is broken. Without a host to feed your consciousness, you would be drawn to other energy sources.

Conscious Energy would be strongly attracted to you because of its familiarity with the human life force or physical energy. Our bodies naturally produce a subtle magnetic field, so it would only be practical to assume that conscious energy would be drawn to a familiar source. There are naturally occurring minerals that also produce magnetic fields. High concentrations of these minerals have been cited as the cause of a recurring form of conscious energy known as a Residual Haunt. An artificially produced magnetic field, such as an open circuit with a flow of electrons, could explain why batteries drain in active locations. The entity that is created by use of this method is nothing more than an electromagnetic pattern, a snapshot of our higher level consciousness at the point of death. So, therefore, it is not capable of learning beyond the time of its creation. It carries on as a remnant of a once-living human being. It is limited in its knowledge to the era in which it lived.

On going research has yet to determined if the entity can learn beyond it's point of creation. There was one incident that occurred where the entity acknowledged a piece of equipment. When the equipment detected the entity it sounded an audible alarm. At that instance the entity referred to that piece of equipment as: "It's on the table!" Later that same piece of equipment went off again during an EVP session. We can only assume that the entity may of used that piece of equipment to try and communicate after acknowledging it earlier. Then again using that same piece of equipment at that location over the course of three investigations it never happened again. So we can only conclude with any certainty that it may of been an isolated incident. Until at some point we have conclusive evidence to the contrary. I can only surmise that the entity is a fixed point in time.

Observation
The astounding thing is the entity seems to be very intelligent, has shown a limited form of comprehension, full range of emotions, verbal communication skills including foreign languages if known in life, shown visual ability, and is able to move objects without the need of a physical self. Yet when testing for cognition, as in remembering, learning, and repeating tasks. When going outside of the entities era of comprehension. Confronted with new words, or objects is usually met with confusion, if pressured for a response it turns into frustration, than anger, with the entity lashing out verbally with profanity, and the occasional death threats directed toward the researcher. Overall is a very human response under any condition breathing, or not. The entity projects itself with very human characteristics it would be difficult to say if the entity is imitating human beings, or maybe was once human itself.

How can entities pull off such complicated procedures without shown cognitive ability or having a physical presents. It's beyond reason that the entity would have powers, and abilities beyond it's once human state. I and my team has personally felt, heard, saw, recorded, and experienced paranormal activity with undeniable human characteristics. The question is can you say without a doubt if it's the effect of a Ghost, and that's really the bottom line. It always comes down to that one question. So I believe the question itself needs more scrutiny. Let's first start looking at the origins, and how the word was used throughout history, and it's original meaning to come to a more factual understanding of what a Ghost originally implied. Remember the public has been inundated for some time with reality TV shows with Ghost Hunting, can I call them enthusiast? That run up, and down hallways trying to capture Ghosts! A Ghost is unlike the word Spirit which is described as a non-corporeal substance, is the manifestation of the spirit itself. The word Ghost came from the Hebrew, and old English translation of the word "gast" that originally meant stranger, or foreigner. Throughout recorded human history you could say the civilization itself would not exist if it wasn't for the realization that there is a human spirit that carries on after death. The pyramids, and early Neolithic structures. Even religion itself proves that spirit activity exists, and has always existed. It has been only until now that we're on the fringes of technology that can physically prove it with data logging equipment backed by video, and audio. Our research in this field has come to the conclusion that it's not Spirit, or Ghost as based on earlier definitions. It's more than that, a type of human consciousness that on extremely rare, and very limited conditions exist as a normal part of our everyday lives. There are others that have defined a ghost being a form of disembodied conscious energy. Energy itself cannot be free flowing for energy to exists in any state it would have to be attached to something that feeds it. Energy cannot exist in a self sustaining state.

Structural Cohesion Theory (Entities Strength)

2012-01-10T22:00:00.000-08:00

Conscious Energy Theory states that the entity is the electromagnetic pattern of a once living human being, and is the bases upon how the entity can use it's electromagnetic properties to manipulate it's environment. The strength of the entity is in the structural cohesion, or binding of it's pattern. The denser the electromagnetic pattern the stronger the entity, and the greater the activity. To inhibit the electromagnetic binding, or cohesiveness of the pattern ends the haunt. This can be done in many ways. 1. Enhancing the ground: This would create barriers but would not end the haunt. 2. Low level electromagnetic pulse: This would degrade the entities electromagnetic pattern without structural cohesion within the pattern the entity ceases to exist. A strong enough pulse would rid any imprinted objects of the pattern, ending the haunt.

Sunlight generally and in the most basic of terms has a scattering effect on electromagnetic waves. So the structural cohesiveness. or electromagnetic binding of the entities pattern would be weaken during the day. Denser structures that are shielded from the effects of the sun such as lower levels sub-structures, a basement for instance. Would also explain why activity is predominantly greater in such locations. Seasonal, and atmospheric changes can all aid in the strength of the entity. In the early morning an hour just before dawn, and late afternoon as the radiation from the Sun is slowly diffuse. The lowest point in this cycle is between 2 to 4 AM which could answer the question of why activity is stronger at night then during the day.

Animal Sensitivity to the Paranormal

2012-01-10T21:56:00.000-08:00

The research I've done on our common household pets, and their sensitivity to paranormal activity. The dog for instance are dichromats, and have color vision equivalent to red-green color blindness. Dogs have very large pupils, a high density of rods in the fovea, an increased flicker rate, and a tapetum lucidum an adaptation toward superior night vision. Dogs can detect a change in movement that exists in a single diopter of space within their eye. (humans require a change of between 10-20 diopters.) Comparatively dogs can detect movement that is up to 20 times subtler than a human. The frequency range of dog hearing is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, which means that dogs can detect sounds far beyond the upper limit of the human auditory spectrum. Additionally, dogs have ear mobility which allows them to rapidly pinpoint the exact location of a sound. Eighteen or more muscles can tilt, rotate, raise, or lower a dog's ear. A dog can identify a sound's location much faster than a human can, as well as hear sounds at four times the distance. So in conclusion man's best friend your household pet would be more likely to sense the presence of a entity before it's human owner could. I've seen dogs growl, and bark themselves into a corner. While others lunge at the air, as their owners struggle with their pet unaware of what's going on. The owner will try unsuccessfully to coax the dog forward, finally giving in to the terrified animal, and leaving the area. It's unlikely that the Dog is able to see the entity. The animals advanced visual acuity would only pick up on subtle movement at a given moment. Instead hearing the entity would alert the Dog. Rushing into a room only to stare into the darkness both eyes, and ears fixed on an unseen intruder. Only to back out of the room frightened by what was heard, but unseen.

Scientific Method

2012-01-10T20:24:00.000-08:00

We've added additional steps to fit the paranormal field. It usually starts with asking a question. We start with make an observation. Then ask HOW, and WHY?

Because if your not asking how & why on your investigations then all your doing is just sitting in the dark!

The hypothesis is the part I like best. A hypothesis is a educated guess it's not meant to be 100% right most of the time it's dead wrong. Like: Percival Lowell's Martians.

A hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more "observation".

A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses. If you thought science wasn't apart of Ghost Hunting? Well it really is!

It's one thing to go running around in the dark in scary places. Like paranormal meetup groups. It's different when you except cases as a Paranormal Research Team, and your invited into peoples homes because they feel, maybe real, or not that they have a problem. If your going to start a team there is a real sense of liability that you own when you walk into someones home, or business.

Testing your theories "experimentation" This is when you let your inner mad scientist out!

If the experiment supports your hypothesis then your on the right track, but it doesn't end there. Your hypothesis has to predict future occurrences, beside answering the question that was formed from the original observation. Then again if there are new observations that don't fit your theory, either modify the theory or throw it out in place of new theory.

I don't expect anyone to do any of this. I just wanted everyone to have a basic understanding on how science works!

The Public's Trust

2012-01-10T20:17:00.000-08:00

It's important to remember these people are "trusting you" with their homes, and businesses they expect an "answer" to what their experiencing. There is a fine line you dare not tread, and that's peoples health! Never take the place of a health professional, or presume anything including the haunt without evidence to back it up! You don't want to end-up being the cause of pain and hardship to those very people seeking your help!

Scotopic vision

2012-01-10T20:13:00.000-08:00

The Human eye optimum dark-adapted vision is obtained only after a considerable period of time in darkness about 30 minutes. The light response of the rods peaks sharply in the blue; they respond very little to red light. It would be undesirable to examine anything with white light even for a moment. Since the rods do not respond to red, the eye can gain full dark-adapted vision. This phenomena arise from the nature of the rod-dominated dark-adapted vision, called Scotopic vision, and this is the reason why we carry flashlights that are both white, and red light capable.

Diopter Theory

2012-01-10T20:07:00.000-08:00

This Security CCTV camera picked up a full bodied apparition that walked right past, and in-front of the Paranormal Investigator. Why did the camera see it, and the investigator didn't?

The amount of light needed for the human eye to sense movement is much higher then the CCTV camera used which only needed a change of 6 diopters. For the human eye to sense movement it needs two rods in the fovea working together, both needing a change of 10 diopters to sense movement. The rods are responsible for night vision, our most sensitive motion detection, and our peripheral vision.

Investigation Process

2012-01-10T19:55:00.000-08:00

Right now three members of CGC are doing a walk-through at a possible investigation. But the process started much earlier, with an Activity Report being filed by the future client, phone interview, then the team reviews the case accepting it, or turning it down! Remember we reserve the right to refuse service to Anyone, It's for your own safety. When they arrive they do a video interview, EVP session, walk around, and draw a floor plan marking out hot spots, hazards, hidden spaces, anything the team will need to know. Take pictures, review the audio, and discuss findings, or concerns. After this process, and only then we schedule an investigation.

EVP: Avoid "YES" "NO" questions.

2012-01-10T19:30:00.000-08:00

Make it a point to avoid "YES" "NO" questions. We make the entity work harder to answer the question, and it's been very successful. We've gotten interaction with the researcher that shows emotion, and intelligence. It's really surprising to have dead people be so lively?

Are Ghosts Real

2012-01-10T19:22:00.000-08:00

Skeptics will claim it's all in your mind, and Ghosts are not real. There is so much fraud, and fakes out there. I'm tired of watching amateur paranormal teams that didn't take the time to ask the first question. Run out, and start hunting "demons" pointing at dust, and blurry pictures. Claiming their Ghosts Radar phone app has detected purple energy? Sorry ...huh? So I like to thank the Paranormal Groups that are doing it right. You will find the poof your looking for, and it will be real. Not only that, but you'll be able to prove it to the biggest skeptic out there, yourself.

Bible Bullies

2012-01-10T19:16:00.000-08:00

You will meet a wide variety of people with differing opinions, some carrying bibles. Don't worry most of the nuts have your number on speed dial. Keep that in mind they'll tell you that talking to the dead means your going to hell. I've even gotten death threats from dead people, but it's the living that scare me more.

Ecclesiastes 9:5
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and there is not left any reward for their memory is forgotten”.

Translation, the dead know nothing, not even emotions. This is fitting with the Bible's theme that the dead return to the dust, and are asleep.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 pardon the pun is dead wrong.

This is the most commonly quoted passage from the Bible that people will confront you with. That's when I get them to listen to some of my EVPs. After that they walk away.

EVP Evidence Page

Angelology the theological study of angels.

Thus totally disembodied minds exist which emanate from God and are the intermediaries between God and all the bodies here in this world.

Next time someone tells you that your going to hell for talking to the dead. Ask them if that includes talking to angels.

Video Only

2012-01-10T19:12:00.000-08:00

There's an OLD saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words", but what the picture is not telling us makes a world of difference. This is the reason WHY CGC uses video! Such as who was smoking, the marine layer was rolling in, where did the shadow really come from, and last but not least the "GHOST" was a team member walking through the shot. Video tells a more complete story where a picture leaves everyone's mind to wander!

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para – "beside", "with", or "alongside" — meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech) and eidōlon – "image"; the diminutive of eidos – "image", "form", "shape". Pareidolia is a type of apophenia.

Apophenia is the experience of seeing meaningful patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.

Cameras: Even though you'll never know when or where paranormal activity will happen the number of cameras will increase the chance of catching evidence. Cameras! Cameras! Cameras, and if you think you have enough cameras, buy more cameras. Now I know what your thinking $$$$ IR equipment, lights, cameras full spectrum unless you know how to modify, and build your equipment you'll be paying through the nose, but it's actually very simple. Knowledge is everything once you learn how. The rest is repetition. I can buy a HD camcorder for $35 modify yourself to Full Spectrum. You saved hundreds a lot of the other equipment geophones, IR lights, motion sensors, EM pumps, Ionizers, and much more can be built saving you hundreds of dollars. We usually post videos on how to build some of this stuff. Electronic schematics become simple as soon as you understand how things work, and how things work together. We post a lot of this on our website which I might add is another necessity, and can be done including the hosting for FREE.

Evidence pulling the Power

2012-01-10T19:09:00.000-08:00

Ghost Hunters do it in the dark! Makes a really good bumper sticker, but there are advantages in shutting off the power if the client lets you do it. Electrical noise that hum, click, crackling noise that you hear in the background. Home appliances, electronics of all kinds remember WiFi is Radio, Bluetooth is Radio, just leave the cell phone in your car, and that should eliminate anyone from using phone apps which is another topic. So if you can unplug, turn off, and disconnect everything! See if they let you shut off the power. We investigated a business that we had them pull the power more than once, or there would of been no way we could of investigated. The hum from the electronics in the building took out everything up to 170 Hz! It's time to whip out the Ouija board because your not communicating with anything with that going on.

Trigger Objects

2012-01-10T19:05:00.000-08:00

We use trigger objects to encourage activity. Our research into the background of the entity haunting the location uncovered a sweet tooth, so we planted treats in location of the entities death.

We find trigger objects to be very useful. At the Gold Hill Hotel in Gold Hill Nevada there where claims of children playing in room 12. Trigger objects of a ball, and a poker hand was set out to catch any activity. What we caught was one card moving out of a hand of cards without moving any of the other cards in the hand. This is the video footage of the activity caught in Room 12.

At Preston Castle on the second floor in what once was Anna Corbin's office we placed two dozen roses along side a ball, and asked Anna to move the ball. After the team left the room the ball moved back and forth four times returning to it's original starting place. This is the video footage of the activity caught in Anna's Room.

There was a question about if the floor was level stating that if the wind moving through the room rolled the ball up a incline then rolled back. Well we returned to Preston Castle to answer that question. As you can see from the photograph to the left the floor are perfectly level, and the wind that was claimed to be moving the camera was nothing more than the auto focus moving in and out giving the allusion of movement. So in conclusion if the ball was rolled by the wind it would of rolled away.

EVP Evidence

2012-01-10T18:58:00.000-08:00

We get just as good of evidence during the Day, as well as with the lights on, or off. The big advantage to investigating at night is noise! Since most of the evidence you catch are EVP! Noise of any kind even outside noise, if it can be prevented will save evidence. What do I mean save evidence: Training to keep your voice down, and that's everyone. Not to walk on someones EVP, we wait 15 sec after asking the question in silence. Tag any unavoidable noise! We have a decibel meter where we train people to speak at a moderate tone around 45-50 dB, we also have a saying "Their dead not def" No yelling, No whispering, No playing around when someone is asking questions. Using an external microphones on your voice recorder will eliminate the noise of your fingers touching the recorder. Most likely the entity your screaming at, is standing right beside you. We know by testing with Zoom 360 microphones that the entity targets it's electromagnetic voice. We've laid out voice recorders in circles, end to end, side to side, directly in front of the researchers. We found the entity targets it's response. In one experiment when we looked at the audio from the Zoom 360 mics it showed a linear path across the room to the researchers recorder, and the response was only on that recorder. We've setup the team around a table with their recorders in front of them showing targeted responses. Experimentation is apart of the scientific methods I listed earlier.

While listening to the recording, you should note if the background noise appears to fade drastically when a real, loud sound is picked up. This means that your recorder probably has an auto-gain circuit (AGC) whose job is to keep sound levels roughly constant. Most voice recorders have AGC and it usually can't be switched off.

Investigations

2012-01-10T18:53:00.000-08:00

The truth of it is paranormal investigations are boring. I admit to falling asleep from time to time, and in the most haunted places. It's a sign of a real pro when you can tag your audio while sleeping. Depending on the size of the location we rotate small teams to keep the contamination down 2 to 3 people at a time. That's it everyone else outside, but even being outside you still have to keep the noise down! Everything ends up on audio, or video people forget that.

I fell asleep on the second floor in the ballroom of the Washoe Club. We had already caught activity on the third floor where I was hit! Actually I was back handed in the arm. There was this really cool ripple in the air that looked like predator moving away, but really fast. I've made two observations that I haven't figure out yet. One is speed they are fast, incredibly fast, and second that flash of light like lightning even looks like energy discharge, no sound, and an electrical smell, or ozone in the air?
