Exploring the Paranormal - where the unusual is the normal

Bringing a blog back from the grave is most fitting for this subject. Dead for about a year and abandoned by 4 previous writers this blog now has new life as of August 2010. Each writer seemed to add only a handful of posts and then disappear............ so join me while I explore the paranormal from the world of ghosts to parallel dimensions. A journey you will not want to take on your own.

The ghosts of Las Vegas

September 4th 2010 05:05

Las Vegas, a town built on gambling, old time mobsters and prostitution. It should not surprise anyone that it has its share of ghostly events. Now I am not talking about the small outlying areas that are now western ghost towns, although I am sure that they have some interesting history to tell, no I am talking about the big casinos in town.

I am betting you think that Elvis makes his appearance in some spots. Quite frankly it is not the famous that tend to hang out but the infamous and the distraught. Both the Excalibur and Circus Circus have a few ghosts.

Next time you are in Las Vegas treat yourself to a walking tour of the haunted areas. Yes those are public places and here is more information on them:
Haunted Tour of Las Vegas - walkers need only take that first step into the unknown.

Why credibility is so important in reporting paranormal events

September 1st 2010 23:00

The credibility of a person is always brought into question when that person reports an unusual event. In the past few posts I had videos in them that showed people being interviewed as the person or persons seeing ghosts or other phenomenon. What went through your minds as you watched them? Were they believable or did they come across as having a screw loose somewhere?

You can see why credibility is so important to a paranormal investigation. Only those people that have a clear mental aptitude and truthful speaking ability should be involved with investigations. You don't want someone who regularly gets drunk every Friday night to conduct an investigation on Saturdays since they would not be thinking clearly. That people would probably not be believed by others if something felt "funny" to him/her during the investigation.

Credibility is very important in most professions and is often the most important part of a paranormal investigator.

Historic haunted location to be turned into movie set

September 1st 2010 06:31

The former Pennhurst State School and Hospital in Chester County PA has been the location of many recent TV paranormal investigations. All sorts of sounds and movements have been recorded on video and audio that remain unexplained. The state hospital had a notoriously violent history. Unspeakable surgeries were forced on mentally ill children. The living conditions were enough to bring anyone to tears, yet thousands of patients lived at this place most of their lives.

It was shut down about 20 years ago. Now the hospital faces an unusual future as a modern haunted house and a movie set. The video below shows why some people are not too fond of that idea. If you happen to catch a glimpse of Pennhurst on A&E like I did a month back, you would see how huge a property this place is.

Now for the video:

Ghosts upset when their school is torn down

August 30th 2010 01:37

Watch the video above and see if you think that the ghosts are upset about the school being torn down - or are the sightings the result of an over active imagination?

Why some people deny the existance of ghosts

August 28th 2010 17:48

When you were little, I bet you heard almost every adult around you say "there is no such thing as ghosts." It was probably in response to you telling them that you saw something in your dark bedroom. Them telling you that there was no such thing as ghosts was not so much what they believed, but it was a ploy to get you to back to your bed and go to sleep. They did not want you bothering them in the middle of the night nor the late evening when they were doing other things. That thought, that they buried deep in your mind, at an early age, stayed with you. Never mind that they were also the same people that told you about Santa. You still trusted them and what they told you was true.

That was what most people believed as they were growing up. The Gallup poll of 2007 tells us that only 25% of the adult USA population believes in ghosts. The rest are in denial

Ghost busting at the Absecon Lighthouse

August 27th 2010 01:51

Close to the casinos in Atlantic City is located the Absecon Lighthouse. The video below shows the owners before they called in the Ghost Hunters from the SyFy channel. They talk about sighting a creature they call the "Jersey Devil", a flying creature that is well known by the locals, that landed on the top of the lighthouse and someone tried to shoot it. You can go to the Ghost Hunters website to find out more about the investigation on the lighthouse, but check out the video first.

The ghost of the unsinkable Molly Brown

August 24th 2010 06:48

Molly Brown

The famous Molly Brown of the early 1900's, who was made famous by surviving the sinking of the Titanic, maybe still lurking around her old home in Denver, Colorado. Her real name is Margaret Tobin Brown and she was a socialite in her day. She traveled the world and was very well known in wealthy circles. She was also known as being very flamboyant, which was not typical of the women of her day. Apparently after her death in 1932 she still has a flare for showing up.

Reality TV ghost shows can be dangerous

August 22nd 2010 02:03

Am am sitting here and watching "Extreme Paranormal" on A&E. Normally the show does the regular paranormal investigating but as of late they are getting more bizarre in "provoking the spirits" as they put it. The latest is detailing and showing how to perform a "blood ritual" to get the spirits to react to them. So now they are showing low grade witchcraft to summon the dead! On the show prior to that one, they buried a member of the team in a coffin and then left him while the rest of the team wandered around in the woods

Phantom caught on home video

August 21st 2010 01:05

Everyone wants to see some proof of a haunting. Thanks to the newer camcorders and digital cameras, evidence is now being caught of the paranormal. People are posting their own evidence online now. The video below is one of the most widely viewed "ghost" videos on YouTube to date. It has over 39 million views. The video is short and if you are wondering what to look for, keep your eyes on the rocking chair. I do have to warn you that this video is not for the faint of heart.
