The Vampire: Tool of the Demonic Underworld

by Dr. William Lester

In the world of paranormal research, there are several recognized types of spirit beings. By spirit I mean of course a non-physical entity that can be perceived or detected in our realm. The human spirit is just that– the consciousness of a person no longer occupying the physical body. They are people. Because consciousness exists outside of time, a human spirit can linger in a location for 10, 20, 50, 100, or even 1,000 years– for them time has no meaning.

There a nature spirits– sometimes referred to as elementals. We often see these discussed in the lore of many cultures– spirits of fire, water, air, stone, wood and so on. These are entities of the Earth and rarely concern themselves with the affairs of men. Question: Could this change with our many growing environmental concerns?

Occassionally one encounters the darker, negative spirits. These are sinister, malicious beings that lurk in the blackness, seeking the ruin of all creation. Even among these bestial entities, there are classifications. Some types are drawn to locations or situations of atrocities, desecreation, violence, depravity– any circumstance in which humans are vulnerable and open to attack. When possible, such evil spirits will seek to sieze or possess a person, thereby manifesting its true evil nature for all to see.

The vampire is a comparatively rare manifestation of this demonic reality. This particular kind of entity, twisted and foul, seeks possession of the dead, not the living. In this, we see a deeper, more powerful demonstration of diabolical power. The spirit animates the corpse– sickingly approximating the characteristics of life. Thus the term nosferatu, or undead. The body, no longer operating under natural biological processes, is now fueled by preternatural energies and manifests great strength, agility and psychic powers. Thus, the vampire is immune to normal modes of injury. These same hellish engergies, operating beyond the confines of time, allow the body to transcend the passage of time. Thus the vampire will not age (as in life) or decompose (as in death).

The consumption of blood, the essence of life, allows the malevolent spirit mastery over the lifeless body. The demon views this as mastery over man, its sworn adversary.

Through all this though, the creature is not invulnerable. It shuns the natural light of the sun, which radiates at a frequency that disrupts the demon’s ability to maintain possession of the body. Similarly, the vampire is repelled by relics of faith. The power rests not in the objects themselves, mind you, but in the person wielding it. Such items work as amplifiers through which positive spiritual energy is conducted. Like the ultraviolet rays of the sun, this energy nullifies the negative energy field of the negative entity.

Because the vampire has been so richly glamorized in literature and film, the reality of such a being is difficult to contemplate. This in itself is a powerful weapon in the arsenal of the preternatural realm. It exists unchallenged, in part through society’s disbelief. Moreover, the movement of paranormal research into mainstream pop culture has done little to mitigate this. There are more self-styled experts today than at any point in history. Few of these curiosity seekers are interested in long-term, in-depth research into the subject of vampirism. I can’t tell you how many times I have listened to a “researcher” explain their “take” on various paranormal manifestations. By “take” I mean how they have attempted to slot these things into whatever belief system they have. Remember this: Reality is not contingent on belief, but on awareness. Always, always be aware.

***ADDENDUM***
I have been asked to offer some commentary of the vampire societies that exist today.  These groups have little to do with the paranormal and do little more than offer refuge to attention-seeker, chronic introverts and social outcasts.

It is predictable that such individuals would gravitate toward a lifestyle offering the facade of power, immortality and the opportunity for sexual exploits.

Some of the participants have gone so far as to sleep in coffins and have porcelain fangs implanted.  Vampire “pop” culture was invigorated by fims like The Lost Boys and Interview With A Vampire, the latter being a rather lackluster film adaptation of the Anne Rice novel.

On the whole, these activites might be viewed as “alternative” but harmless.  There is however, the potential for this lifestyle to cross over into dangerous territory.  The practicing of rituals and conjuring spirits can open the door to demonic attack. Oppression and infestation of these dark entities is a very real risk run by those who tamper with preternatural forces.

HOW TO DO A GHOST BOX SESSION

by Bruce Halliday
In this article I will explain from my experience the best way to perform a ghost box session. The task of doing a box session is as simple as it is complicated. A box session is simple in the fact that it is basically turning on one of the many models of ghost box be it a Frank’s box, Joe’s box, RS hacks, Mini box or the EVP maker phoneme method.  All will deliver to one extent or another Real Time Spirit Communication or RTSC as we call it.

What makes a ghost box session complicated? Let me just say without going into particular details, a ghost box sessions success or failure depends on many influential factors that play a part in the reception of communication from the spirit world.

That being said this article is meant to give a basic explanation on how to conduct a successful ghost box session.

First and foremost make sure you are in the correct frame of mind to do a box session, by this I mean simply, positive attitude, positive session. Negative attitude, negative session. So if you had a bad day at the office or the kids are getting on your nerves leave the session for another time.

OK let’s assume that you are in a great mood there are a few basic steps to follow before starting your actual session. There is a very real concern of attracting negative entities and negative energy while involved in a box session. If you observe this concern you can say a protection prayer and actually ask any of your spirit contacts to help to block any negative entities or communication that may try to come through the box during the open session.

Once you have dealt with the possibility of the negative aspect it’s time to attend to the other preliminary tasks such as making sure you have fully charged batteries, your incoming signal strength depends on the power that is supplied to the box.

Now speak out loud to your spirit contacts and inform them that you are about to do a box session and give them a heads up about the subject matter of your session.

Next make sure you have your recorder and it is set to go. Turn your recorder on and state your name the time, date and subject of the session.

Pause your recorder. Turn on your ghost box and allow it to run for a few seconds and make sure you have the best reception possible, if not move around the room or the area until you establish a good signal.  When you are satisfied with your signal, have done your protection ritual if wanted and have made sure your equipment is set to go you are now ready to do the actual session.

OK here we go!

Take your recorder off of pause, be polite say Hi and ask if there are any spirits that would like to communicate with you..

After your initial greeting ask whatever questions you have and or make any statement you want too. Then allow a reasonable amount of time for a response, I will usually give approximately ten seconds. During the response time listen carefully for any answers or messages that you can hear in real time as they occur. That is the main objective when we do ghost box research or RTSC, the key words in RTSC are “REAL TIME” that is what sets this research apart from any other form of EVP or ITC.

If you do hear an answer or statement you believe to be communication it is a good idea to repeat what you heard for validation that you did actually hear the communication, this will later serve as a validation of the communication when made into an audio file for review by others..

Be extremely aware of any vulgarity or curse words as these serve as a strong indication that what we are receiving is in fact communication and not just radio signal due to the fact that it is very unlikely that you will hear these sorts of swear words on publicly broadcast radio.

Also be aware of your name or that of others in the room during the session and of course relevant and pertinent answers to any questions you have asked.

The session will continue in this manner as long as you wish, I have found that our friends on the other side will in a certain amount of time “Run Out Of Steam” as it where. They seem to exhaust their energy supply and therefore communication will decrease and eventually cease as a result.

I like to keep my session to no more than 10 minutes for two reasons. One, it allows the communicating spirit time to deliver their communication without exhausting the energy supply and being cut off midstream and it aids in keeping the subsequent review and editing of the session to a reasonable time frame.

As with the preliminary steps before starting a session there are a couple of good rules to follow as you end your session.

When you are bringing the session to a close the first thing to do is to alert the communicating spirits that you intend to end the session or else it is like hanging up a telephone with no warning to the person on the other end of the line, very disrespectful !

Next, and this is a very good habit to form! Ask that any and all spirits that may have traveled to your side from the spirit world please return or they may be stranded after the box is turned off. We have come to believe that during a box session a doorway or portal is established between our side and the spirit world due to the live connection and stream of mutual energy the box facilitates and that it is possible for spirits to utilize this “doorway” to pass from their side to ours and back.

When you request that any wayward spirits be returned to the spirit world, ask for verbal conformation that it is clear to shut down the session and turn the box off.

Ask as many times as is necessary for you to hear some kind of understandable response, logically if you were to wait for review of the recording to find the conformation it would be too late. And you may have a stranded spirit on your hands!

After you are sure about your confirmation and you feel it Is safe to turn the box off, thank your spirit friends for any and all communication and the effort the put forth to send that communication. Say goodbye or goodnight and allow a ten second final response time and then turn off the box.

You have just successfully completed a ghost box session and hopefully you received good communication both heard in real time and recorded.

The only task left to perform is to load your session recording into your computer review and edit it and save your individual communication files for future research purpouses and validation of communication.

This is a basic explanation of how to perform a ghost box session.

Villisca Axe Murder House Investigation

by Annette Munnich

On Saturday, January 10, 2009, B.R.U.T.A.L. Paranormal (Anthony and Jennifer Edwards, Herb Cook and Bob Cross) from Minooka, Illinois with Roland and Julz Saenz from Midway Paranormal Society Romeoville, Illinois conducted an overnight investigation at the Villisca Axe Murder House…

The Story

The Villisca Axe Murder House located in Villisca Iowa, is often included as one of the most haunted locations in the United States. It was voted as number one on the Travel Channel’s Most Terrifying Places In America. Villisca, Iowa is a small town in Montgomery County in the southwest corner of the state. This home is the site of eight unsolved murders from June 10th, 1912. Two adults,  Josiah and Sarah Moore, and their children, Herman, Katherine, Boyd, and Paul, were brutally murdered in their beds. There were two little girls visiting that night who were murdered as well, Lena and Ina Stillinger.

It is believed that the killer entered the house and hid while the family and their guests were out at a church function. Later that night after everyone went to bed the killer emerged and killed them all with an axe. It is a horrific crime that stuns the town and police had suspects that included Senator Frank F. Jones, Reverend George Kelly, Henry Moore and William “Blackie” Mansfield. The mystery remains, however, as to who murdered these people and why…

Read more about the crime, victims, and suspects…

The once flourishing town of Villisca is smaller today than it was at the time of the murders in 1912. The residents there were in favor of demolishing the Moore home and putting the tragic history behind them. Instead the house was purchased by Darwin Linn. The home has been restored and tours are available.

Paranormal legend and lore… This house is reported to be very active. Interaction with spirits of the children are common as well as doors that open and close on their own. Something more sinister and frightening is said to be in the house as well.

History-
On June 10th of 1912 in a small town in Villisca Iowa, was one of the most horrific murders of that era. 8 people were bludgeoned to death by an axe. There is 7 different suspects, no one was caught.
The Moore family was a very prominent family in Villisca. This was a family of 6. They were people of faith and went to church and church functions all of the time. Mr. Josiah Moore (Father) was a successful business man. Sarah Moore (mother) was active in the church and busy being a mother of 4. Herman Moore the oldest boy was 11, Katherine the only girl was 10, Boyd was 7 and Paul was 5.
On the night of the murder, the family went to a church program that the children were in. It ran a bit late and by the time it was over it was dark and almost 10 pm. Two friends of the children Ina and Lena Stillinger were supposed to walk to their grandmothers house, but it was dark and they were too scared to walk so they went to spend the night with the Moores. They all got home around 10pm and had milk and cookies and went to bed, never to awake again. According to the coroners they had all been killed around midnight, all killed by an axe. The murderer snuck into the house while they were at church. He waited for them to all fall asleep and when the midnight train went by, that is when he killed all of them. All 8 people Mr. Moore, Sarah Moore, their 4 kids and the two Stillinger sisters. He had went into the bedroom on the first floor off of the parlor and killed the Stillinger sisters frist, then he went up the stairs and killed Mr. and Mrs. Moore, then walked down the hall and killed their 4 children last. A total of 8 people all together. He then proceeded to eat breakfast leave the axe in the house with blood on it, and it happened to be Mr. Moore’s axe that he used to chop wood. The family and the Stillinger sisters were all buried in the Villisca cemetery. There was 7 possible suspects but no one was ever caught. The neighbor and Mr. Moore’s brother were the two who discovered what had happened first. It was a horrible crime that shook this small community.
Investigation report-
Upon arrival we were taken into the barn and watched a video of the event and history of the murder and family and home. We then went on a tour conducted by Mr. John Houser. He took us through the house and into each room and told us who was were and how they were found murdered. Then we were left to investigate the rest of the LONG ACTIVE night.
With in the first 5 minutes of the tour, a ball rolled out from under a bed and stopped directly in front of Bob. Bob is sensitive and so was another member of the group. They both felt many emotions as the night occurred. Sadness, Happiness, Depression, Fear, and possibly evil. We all had personal experiences. Anthony had someone touch his hand, Julz had someone touch her head, Herb got the chills in some spots as well as I did Roland also felt strange at a few points in the night.
We used the ghost box for most of the night, asking questions that were answered by many spirits in the house. The box said all of our names except for Herb. The box said Jenny…..Help me. I asked what I could do to help and got a response of blood, and sad.
The words that came out of the ghost box were
Blood
Torture
Get out
Out now
Out
Blackie, Henry, Frank, and Hank…These are names of suspects
Julz, Bob, Anthony, Roland, Jenny
Joseph, Sarah, Lena, Paul, Herman, Boyd
Not with me
These were all answers to some of our questions and then some words were just what the spirits said.
There was a point in the night around 11pm when the house got darker and colder and the box said “GET OUT NOW!” The 2 sensitives felt something strong that wanted control and wanted us out. Then all the children left. We took a break and the house then felt empty. That point we turned the box back on and were speaking to Sarah Moore and Joseph Moore, they validated who they were and answered a few questions. We have yet to go over all the hours of evidence, we did get a few videos of orbs flying by the cameras. Mind you the temp was 15 degrees out. Bugs are not what caused these orbs. We did get most of the talking of the ghost box recorded. It was a very active place, and an experience that I will NEVER forget. If there are people out there that do not believe in the afterlife, then maybe they should spend the night here! -Jen

Saturday Jan 10, 2009
Villisca Iowa
Axe Murder house

Bob Cross B.R.U.T.A.L. Paranormal Minooka, Illinois

Arrived at the house about 4:40pm
Watched video/slide show about the house and its residents, took tour of the house
started downstairs in the kitchen, then the parlor, the downstairs bedroom where I felt the presence of something but not very strong, continue the tour and went up stairs to the parents bedroom in which I felt a strong presence of something, as the guide continues to tell the story in the parents bedroom I went to the upstairs children’s bedroom and felt very heavy atmosphere when everyone else came in, the room became so heavy to me that I had to leave it so I went back to the parents room to wait on the rest of the group. The tour guide came in there and was telling me that he was feeling the same things as I was, then all of a sudden a ball comes rolling out from under the bed right to my feet, I immediately ask him if he kicked it and his response was NO, there was no one near him to see if he kicked it, if the ball was set close enough to the edge and hidden by the bed cover/blanket he could have very well kicked it and no one would have known, so to say that was paranormal there is doubt in my mind. I did feel the presence of a child standing to my right and I also had a feeling of happiness and good. I set the ball back under the bed
in a specific location and filmed it, later that night Roland and Julie were in the room sitting on the bed, the ball was at the edge of the bed on the floor covered by the blanket, when Roland sat down on the bed and moved his feet the ball came rolling out, I never told anyone I did this so I think it is very easy for the guide to set this up and make it look paranormal.

Now its time to start the investigation, when we all return to the house the first thing we found was a ball in the kitchen that was located in the northeast corner of the room on our tour, now it is in front of the hutch, no one was in the house after the tour, we tried to debunk this by placing the ball in different places on the floor then walking and jumping on the floor to get the ball to move and we could not duplicate it. So possible paranormal activity.
Roland and Julie were very intrigued with the Radio Shack hack box so we started upstairs in the parents bedroom, as we asked questions the names of Paul, Ina, Hank, came out several times, the name Boyd came out only 1 time, many, many, times upstairs I felt the children, Julie is also very sensitive and she also had the same feelings. I left them in the parents room to use the hack box and I went to the children’s bedroom. I could never get them to play ball or move anything but I just felt as if they were there with me.  Now its break time.
Breaks over and we start again, we continue to play with the radio hack box where we get more information out of it, this time they here the name Joseph, Paul, Ina and a child saying help me, we asked how many people were in the room and it replied 11, (that would be the 8 murdered and myself, Roland and Julie) we also asked who did this to you and they heard what sounded like Blackie, I myself could not make it out. As we get ready to wrap this session up we ask if they know who is here with them and the hack box replied Julie, my response was WHO IS JULIE ? at that time I did not know Julie’s name.
Roland intoduced her as Jewels to me so I didnt know her name was Julie. Break time.
Breaks over and we all decide to put the radio hack box in the parlor and all of us will stay there and ask questions and see how it answers, most of this i do not remember so Jen will have to fill this in. I am drawn to the children’s bedroom downstairs, I have terrible feelings in there and I ask Julie to come in there and tell me what she feels and she also has this terrible feeling, I was feeling sad, depressed, sicken, pain, grief, I wanted to cry. I asked what time did the murders take place and Jen said around midnight, Now if you take into consideration the time change 11pm in January would be midnight in June, I just know that was a very devastating point of time to me.  Then we decide to try the spirit writing and I say I will try so they take the hack box upstairs and everybody goes upstairs except myself. I try to do the writing but all I get is “GET OUT” over and over it becomes overwhelming so I stop and go upstairs with the rest of the group and I tell them what I’m getting, also at this time the hack box is telling them to get out. we all go downstairs to take a break and the hack box very sternly tells us to get out !!! I tell everybody do not leave, I go upstairs and proceed to tell the spirit we will not leave this is our house I am in control you will leave etc… Once I feel the spirit knows I am in control we go to break.
Breaks over and for the most part the house is empty to me, I feel nothing, Julie feels nothing, they play with the hack box upstairs and get a few more names and things from it but I got nothing, It did tell Roland his name when asked who am I, but
I was not there. For the rest of the night I am just exhausted mentally, I have had a headache, been sad, feeling exhausted, depressed, ever since the 11pm hour. Before we left I had everyone tal to the hack box and tell the spirits that they must go
back to the other that they can not follow us we waited for the OK which we did get. then we turned the hack box off and left.

Now I want to say this to the group, I do not know some of you, I want the entire group to understand that this investigation was very real, there was massive amounts of energy there. There was sadness, death, control, massive mood swings, a lot of pain and suffering. I did not feel any evil though. If you are weak minded and I DO NOT MEAN THIS IN A BAD WAY but most people are not as strong as myself please be careful with this stuff. I never beleived that a spirit could bring harm to a living human but after feeling the emotions and energy from this house I am having different thoughts about it. I feel that if you allow a spirit to control or take control you may get hurt and that is why I stopped everyone from leaving when it told us to get out. ALWAYS ALWAYS STAY IN CONTROL and pay very close attention to what is being told or felt. At the end of the investigation always tell the spirits to go back to the other side and not to follow you. Just do this for your own protection. I do know that spirits will follow you. I have had many do this to me. One day I hope to be able to meet all of you and do and investigation with all of you. MAYBE IN THE SUMMER ALL OF YOU CAN DO THE VILLISCA HOUSE and I promise I will be there again. One last word of advice PLEASE BE CAREFUL there is a lot to be learned and stay in control. -Bob

Herb Cook B.R.U.T.A.L. Paranormal Minooka, Illinois

Ok from the start of the tour I felt a heavy pressure in the house. Some places more than others. The house had a lot of energy in it. Base readings were at a 1.5-2.0 any thing over 2 would set off the lights of the EMF’s. It was really weird that, if you held the device straight up you got the base readings. If you held it sideways you pegged the meters. I have no reason to believe that they were not working. 4 devices all could not malfunction at once could they? I went for a walk outside. I walked to what I will call east first. I had to walk across the road and about 50 feet into the next yard. Before the E.M.F would not get a reading the same to the other directions. I was holding the meter straight up. We went into the basement to see if there may have been a power source. There was not any thing in there base reading = .03-1.3 straight up. sideways would make the meter go off. not pegged but really strong. In the house I did fell some sort of heavyness. Not a sick feeling or anything just heavy. I can’t explain it, you would have to be there. Now when John was taking us on tour. While I was in the upstairs bed room. Bob and John left the room. They were in the parents room. A ball came out from under the bed and stopped at Bob’s feet. Did it do it on it’s own?  I would like to think so. But every time I went back up there the ball was still in the same place under the bed. I would take a pic. every time and it was in the same place. Now when we were in the kids room down stairs. Me, Ro and julz were the only ones in the room. A ball rolled and hit Julz foot. Could have Ro kicked the ball. Maybe he said that he did not. I did not see him do it. But it was dark in there. So I can not say for sure. I have a few pics with orbs all different sizes. All over the place inside and out. I took a pic of the moon. and one showed up. As of the ghost box it seemed to answer questions as did the lights on the E.M.F.’s when Anthony asked questions. Do I believe in them? Maybe, I know that it seemed to work. It did answer some questions. Now for the very wierd part of the night. Ro’s camera went dead then all of a suden It would come back on. I do not think that a camera with a dead battery would  come back on. We asked that it turn it on and it did. I think that we should go back as a team. Really work the house half go in at a time. Since it is small. I have some pics with orbs in them. Yeah I know orbs right? I have searched to many sites on this place. I would have to say that every one of the sites has pics with orbs. So I am leaning toward these things being something. It was too cold for bugs outside. No snow or rain Just the biggest full moon of the year. -Herb

Roland “Ro” Saenz Midway Paranormal Romeoville, Illinois

This was the highlight of my night….
Much later on in the night we all decided to sit in the parlor, while using the ghost box, and decided to sit as a group and one by one ask “Do you want me to leave?” I was 5th to ask as everyone before me did not get a negative response. I decide to say “This is Roland,do you want me to leave?” We get a response “yeah”. Anthony then asks”Why do you want Roland to leave?” We get a response “yes”. He then asks “You don’t want Ro to leave the house do you?” Replies “yes”. Julz then asks who is this and whats your name?” Replies, “Mike”. Anthony again. “What did Ro do?” Response back “nothing.” I then ask “Why are you intimidated by me?” and the response came back as a faint “creepy.” I then ask why do you not like me? Few seconds goes by and then a very strong response of “Creepy”. I think in all it says the word “creepy” during this part of questioning 4 times. A spirit actually called me creepy! I thought that was one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
Now you ask if I personally believe in these ghost boxes? Well by the experiences I had there that night and hearing my name come through the box 3 times that night and hearing Julie’s name several times and getting a female response in regards to me asking can you say Ro and getting a response back right away as “Ro” then immediately I ask can you say “Julie” and within 3 seconds a female voice says “Juulll-ee” I was very impressed.

Now remember back in 1912 people dressed much differently and were very proper and men did not wear earrings,as I have a loop earring in each ear as well as I have my eyebrow pierced with a loop/hoop ring. I may have looked a little odd to someone from 1912.

As far as my photos, I cannot explain the images that I captured that night. One thing I do know is that we will return to that house again one day to once again confront what lies in the shadows of a house that sits forever in time known as the Moore home. -Roland

Editor’s Note

I am hoping to be able to provide audio files from the ghost box soon to accompany this story. Please check back soon

Johnny Houser will be locking himself into the Villisca Axe Murder House for 30 nights to make a documentary on this famously haunted location. Find out more about this project…

Kristie- Show Me Paranormal

Being a demonologist, I have a lot of people express interest in what I do and enthusiasm for wanting to become a demonologist. I am more of the kind of person that just responds to that with a quick semi smile, thinking yea right – you have no idea the price you pay for such, and move on. I guess with the thinking that if I do not entertain them, they will just go on with life and forget about it. This is in reference to my everyday life, not my internet life. For the first time, I have had someone here on myspace ask me about being a demonologist, and here recently I have also had some team members ask me as well, and it is not so easy to just do the quick smile and change of subject with the team members. So, I have decided to address this subject for the myspace inquirer, as well as my team mates. My team mates have had the opportunity to witness the afflictions of the field, by seeing what I deal with following even smooth and simple extractions of demonic entities, but they as well have no real comprehension of my inner life behind closed doors. It is not something that I typically discuss with a layperson, and only discuss with those of like title, ministerial position or of understanding and strong support. Therefore, I will not go into any of that here, but I am going to lay out for you as best able what entails being a demonologist.

What is a demonologist and how do I become one?

Some will simply state that it is someone that study’s and catalogs demons, but a true demonologist is so much more then that, in fact it is a spiritual lifestyle. The study of demons involves studying every kind of recorded demon through history. The demonologist must go through endless texts and sometimes travel great distances to find literature (mostly religious material) of human intervention with demons. This is becoming more simplified with the internet era though. Cataloging demons involves data logging the different demons and knowing as much about then for the next time you either encounter one or come across it in your texts. Cataloging includes origin, gender, ethnic background, what religion it exists in, what geographical area in the world it mostly exists, sketches. Functionally a demonologist studies and catalogs demons, as well as they evaluate people or places that may possibly be plagued by demonic activity, and – when called by God and trained for such – run intervention against the demons. In validated cases of demonic activity, they perform the spiritual work to expel a demon from a location or person. You may also hear the term of “Religious Demonologist”. The title of Religious Demonologist is given by the Catholic Church to specific individuals who complete a dissertation on the topic. However, you do not have to be Catholic to be a demonologist, but you do have to be a person of solid religious faith in God, and following. Demonologist is a ministerial field, ordained ministerial field.

Understand from the start, that the power of an exorcism comes from God, so the study and cataloging area of a demonology plays little part in the exorcism area of the field, and therefore you may encounter a self appointed ‘demonologist’ that is neither appointed and anointed nor ordained to be such. Knowing the name of a demon has little benefit to the process of exorcism. Mortals have no intrinsic power or authority without Jesus Christ. We, as humans, do have authority over demons only through Christ, only when we invoke the name of Christ and the blood (as taught in scripture) but it is the power of Christ, not us, that commands the demonic forces. Even Archangel Michael did not command his equal in satan of his own, he commanded him with the words of “Jesus Christ commands you.” Michael merely has the authority to command in the name of Christ. I believe it is totally ludicrous for a person to become a self appointed demonologist when they do not have the calling and anointing of God, because to know them, to meddle in their business, is to be confronted by them and you better be equipped (anointed) to deal with them. There are specific gifts of God’s grace moving through a demonologist that protects them from being affected or injured. Power comes from God and channels through the demonologist that drives the dark forces back or causes them discomfort. Only people called by, and specifically anointed by, God to have direct interactions with the demonic forces are equipped with these gifts of protection and efficacy. Just having religious knowledge or faith, no matter how solid and strong, does not take the place of these gifts nor does it cause God to anoint someone with these special gifts ether. God gives different people different gifts of ability, and demonlogists are anointed with the specific gift of knowing when they are present (Discernment) and have the flow of Gods anointing to deal with them. Like a preacher has a calling and anointing by God to preach, being a demonologist is a spiritual calling and annointing. In saying this, it is still over simplified in the saying. You earn the anointing, you pay a high price for the annointing. a price that no sane person who actually understood the price would ever volunteer for. It is also a ministry field that requires you to live part of your life in a evil environment that often follows you home and attacks you personally, you and your loved ones. You live in a continuous realm of spiritual focus, you become a target so to speak. Most people go through life either never being touched by demonic spirits or merely being hit on once in a while, but a demonlogist is an active opponent of the dark forces and therefore pretty much lives in the boxing ring with them. So part of the annointing is also the spiritual strength and stamina to handle the dark forces as part of your existence and life, and to still remain stable as a human being and more importantly to remain stable in the anointing. There is nothing glorious or fun about it, it is not a normal existence and many times you just cry in the need of just wanting to be normal, to not have to be constantly on your toes spiritually and to not have to be the subject of every affliction they can place upon you or your loved ones. This is not something that any sane human being would choose to do, demonologists do it because they have to do it, because God appointed and anointed them to do, so therefore it is their moral responsibility to do it. No one chooses to be a demonologist, and any true demonologist would advise you that if you could choose, you would be insane and suicidal to do so and not go there. So in that aspect, there is no way for you to become a demonologist, God makes you a demonologist.

Demonologists seem to be normal and unaffected individuals to the layperson, leading to an air of simplicity about the field. This is true to an extent only because we are humans that have to function in physical world we live in, but the reader must understand that this comes from the anointing and the experience, the assurity of the anointment and the confidence in it, the adapting to it and it just becoming a way of life. I cannot stress this enough, as it is not simple by any means, it is a very hard existence. Know that most Demonologists live pretty secluded lives, and do not have many friends. The friends they do have however are usually very close friends and understand and support them. It is a simple fact that most people do not truly understand how this field of work and study affects the Demonologist, or what it takes to do it. Nor do they understand the calling and anointing. It is hard to understand something spiritual if you have not experienced such. Just as physicians deal with catastrophic injuries on a regular basis, yet seem to hold calm and emotionally unaffected when laypersons would experience horrific reactions and memories from such, they and we have simply adapted in order to do the job. I will say that I believe there is no worse trauma then spiritual trauma, it changes a person forever, changes your life, but we still have to adapt and remain efficient at the calling.

One way to unsettle a demonologist and earn their disrespect and maybe even their verbal wrath, at least this one, is to make light of demons being a real threat, to make light of the chance of encountering them if you meddle in spiritual things, such as paranormal research, and to make light of the harm that they can do to a person. When you live in this existence, you take great offense to someone making a mockery of what you have to contend with in everyday life and the sufferings (and losses) that go with this calling. Obviously, anyone who makes light of such things has been sheltered, spiritually stunted, is ignorant of the spiritual realm and has never had the experience of a demonic encounter…and they better hope they never do, because the demonic forces will eat their lunch. And unfortunitely, if that should happen, there may be no one to really care because they set themselves up for such. There is no greater lesson then a vicious demonic reality check. This is not to say that I would not care even if it is someone who has made a mockery of who I am and what I do. I would care and I would help them, that is my moral obligation and calling. Then again, most people who have this mentality are probably pretty safe in a blind immunity kind of way, because demons can operate better under cover and it is preferable to them that humans do not believe they exist or that they can influence and affect people, that way they get away with the things they want to do. On the other hand, lets just hope that this person never falls under affliction, because they will fail to comprehend the source and to be pulled out of it. Untreated affliction is death folks, devastating death.

Requirements of a demonologist: (This list was actually created by someone else and adapted by myself for further explanation, but since he hit the key points, I am using it just to save myself some typing)

There are a number of requirements for working in demonology. Without all of these you are putting yourself, your loved ones and your co-investigators in grave danger.

First and foremost, the religious demonologist must be called to the work by God, not by their own choice. If you want to be a demonologist, and have not been called by God to be one, that is a problem. No rational person wants to interact with pure evil and put their sanity, their physical life, and their soul at risk when they don’t have to. People in the work are called into the work and guided to people and situations that train them. Most, if not all, demonologists are in ministry, trained and ordained in ministry. Most are mentored for many years by another deliverance minister or demonologist. Such as I have a spiritual father, Frank, who was my mentor for many years. God is in charge from the beginning to the end. If you want to be a demonologist only because you think it would be cool, because you want to be thrilled, or you think you are going to defeat evil, you will either be corrupted by evil, driven insane, or dead soon enough.

Everyone functioning along with a demonologist must also be called to do so. There can be no bystanders or curious onlookers; they are open to being attacked and their presence is a major weakness that will be used against those present. I work with what I call a deliverance team, which is comprised of persons that I know are spiritually strong. They are firm believers in Christ, they are not easily intimidated or frightened and I know that no matter what happens, they will stand strong and calm and continue to participate in the position I have assigned them.

Secondly, all demonolgists need to have the gift of discernment. It would seem strange that God would put this calling on someone if they did not have this specific gift of God, as you have to be able to discern a demon in order to battle a demon. Discernment is the word used to describe a spiritual gift from God that allows a person to detect the presence of demons. Discernment, as well as all gifts from God, is active on an “as needed” basis only. The gift of Discernment is not the same as the gift of knowledge or the laymans term of being psychic. Psychic sensitivity is connected with feeling the presence of human spirit, or of detecting a person’s feelings or intent. Generally the people that have psychic sensitivity do not have discernment. This is seen most often in the trend of psychics claiming demons don’t exist because they don’t feel their presence. People with psychic sensitivity are generally used to it “working” all the time and being able to know what is “going on” in an area. This sometimes leads to a kind of arrogance that if they don’t detect it then it’s not there and no threat to them. This creates a situation where they are very vulnerable to being manipulated by demons. The demons seem to be able to tell what gifts people have. They exist and communicate in the spirit all the time; they can easily communicate any illusion or miss-information to a psychic sensitive without being detected for what they really are. The classic example of this is feeding a false name to a psychic, convincing them that they “got” the demons name. This is to encourage people to confront or try to expel the demon with this false name, thereby overstepping their bounds. Demons never, ever, give their real name unless under spiritual duress.

You must have special supernatural protection and intervention from God in order to survive, remain sane, and be effective in religious demonology. It is not the human person or the priest who drives a demon from a person’s home or body. It is not the human will that makes a demon stop throwing objects around the room or causing horrible thoughts and pains in the people there. There is no personal power or authority in humans: all intervention, protection, and authority come from God on a moment-by-moment basis.

You might be free from sin and close to God one moment and be covered in sin and vulnerable the next. If you meddle with demonic forces without the special protection that comes from a calling from God, and without living in a way pleasing to God, you will know it from the outcomes of your interactions with the demonic. If you see yourself depressed, isolated, suicidal, homicidal, obsessed with demons, thinking you are powerful or in control of demons, or working for evil, there is a problem.

You must be under legitimate church guidance and authority, at least solidly during your apprenticeship. Along with a legitimate calling from God naturally come the contacts, friends, and guidance from people with decades of experience in the work. It should come as no surprise that you cannot learn how to function as a religious demonologist from any book or web site. Doing so and thinking you have any real knowledge or understanding is folly.

You must understand what it means to give your life to God and surrender your physical life to the will of God. Without giving up your life to God’s will, not your will, you will feel fear and intimidation in situations where you might die. This cannot happen as death is a real possibility in this work and that reality cannot be used against you to intimidate you or control you. If you are afraid to die in God’s service, the demons will know — and you will be crushed by your fear.

You should be of a mature age. It is unhealthy and very dangerous for a developing mind and soul to interact with the demonic realm. Once you cross the line into knowing the reality of demons, you will go through a psychological and spiritual crisis where you must come to terms with your new reality. This can be very challenging for any adult; the young forming mind is generally not equipped to handle this successfully. Better to live a normal happy life when young (this pertains to someone is has the calling) and leave this topic for later in life.

The work must be done as an act of charity. You cannot mix any selfish motives into the work: fame, bragging rights, monetary compensation, social power, or other benefits. This must be work for good and for God, not for you in any sense. You are nothing but a vessel that God channels through to help others in the throes of demonic affliction. To do this for selfish reasons puts you in an arena with a supernatural force way beyond your comprehension with little or no protection.

When you are a Demonologist you never really quit learning. This field of work requires constant learning, and studying, and there are no experts. The Catholic tradition for Demonology is the most popular because the Catholic Church pretty much established the field. The Catholic Church for example usually requires the person to be either clergy, or to be ordained once they have finished their initial studies into the subject. Some of the Catholic churches require the person studying to become a Religious Demonologist to write an essay type paper (dissertation) to make sure that they understand the field, etc. before being ordained. Other denominations are not as rigid as the Catholic Church, but will agree that you are required to have ministerial training and mentoring for a lengthy amount of time, and be an experienced demonologist before venturing out as your own entity. Ordination comes from God more then it does from man, because this is a calling and anointing by God, not man; if God annoints you and calls you to something, you better heed such regardless of man. However it is important to also have the blessing of a ministerial alliance in being ordained as you need that training, mentoring and continued support.

Now as a afterword, I do not want anyone going from here thinking that every day of our lives we are out here in hand to hand combat rescuing demonically plagued people like super power beings or something. I will be the first to tell you that demonic attacks are rare. Encountering a demonic entity that wants to take you on is rare. One thing that I strongly advise people is to not look for demons around every corner, in fact it is best that one just disregard them for the most part. Greater safety comes in the not acknowledging them or summoning them by giving them undue credit. If you want an encounter with a demon, you will probably get one eventually, so best policy is to just ignore them. Even though demons exist right along side us in this physical realm, for the most part they are not haunting places. That is a rarity in fact. Demons objectives are not to inhabit locations and become the focus of paranormal investigations. There are principalities that inhabit locations to influence masses of people, but other then that demons objectives are to inhabit human individuals in order to physically function in the physical realm. They do not just lie in wait in corners of haunted locations to try to take someone captive, and in fact the affliction of a human and the goal of inhabiting the human is somewhat of a process that extends over time. Yes, there is the possibility of an encounter when you put yourself in a position of meddling in the spiritual realm, there is a reality of stepping into an instantaneous encounter, but that is rare. Most paranormal investigations in haunted locations are only going to involve the dealing with human spirits. There are negative human spirits, do not confuse them with demonic spirits. Humans in death will most likely be the same as they were in life. If you had a negative, nasty personalitied and angry human in life, he most likely be such in death as well. There is a difference, and this is where the gift of discernment does come in handy in paranormal investigations. I encounter many negative human spirits, and they just are what they are. However if a demonic spirit gets within my radar, it becomes a whole different ballgame and experience. It is that awakening of the discernment and there is no mistaking what is in my presence. I can honestly say that in my thirty years of just paranormal investigating, there have only been two true demonic encounters. I have had hundreds of them in my actual ministry, but in just investigating reportedly haunted locations, they have been that rare. The first encounter I just walked away from, because it was an abandoned uninhabitable dwelling that was out in the middle of nowhere when I was just wandering one evening, they exist in this realm and unless they are harming a human there is little one can do about their existence. The other was a client, and the sad thing is, most paranormal investigators (non demonologist) would have just done a routine investigation and walked away. It was the discernment that immediately awakened and keyed me into the problem, that leading to some in depth questioning of the client of things not voluntarily revealed in the interview. It was an affliction that had literally destroyed their family, that had already taken the life of one family member tragically so, and that any paranormal investigation was not going to cure. Demons try to hide themselves, avoid discovery, this so they can remain in control and finish the job. Therefore, It is very unlikely that even if present, they are going to jump out at you and announce themselves. Your bigger risk is just in the fact that when you meddle in the spiritual realm, you open yourself up to them choosing you for their next victim. Paranormal investigation is somewhat of a open invitation for demonic entities, so I will always state as a demonologist that if you are going to be a paranormal investigator, learn how to protect yourself from such happening. Although rare, you have the door open to them and you just have to be aware of that fact and know how to block them from entering through it.

If anyone has any further questions about being a demonologist, I will try to answer them for you. Granted, it is not my favorite topic because I would prefer that people would just recognize that there is nothing exciting or pleasant about this field, and it is not an anointing and calling that anyone would ask to be given. I will trade places any day with the person gifted with a great voice and singing in the choir, if only it were that easy. It is not something that you want to be, believe me.

Country Music star Bobby Mackey

Bobby Mackey’s World

by Annette Munnich

If you like your ghost stories to be factual as well as chilling to the bone, then I have the story for you. It’s intricate and multi-faceted like a black diamond, glistening and alive in it’s perpetual darkness. This is the true account of country and bluegrass music star Bobby Mackey and some of the history and experiences pertaining to his nightclub, Bobby Mackey’s Music World. Love and death linger intermingled in this structure with a well that is called the gateway to hell, and a stairway to heaven that leads to nowhere. The place in between is Bobby Mackey’s…

Bobby Mackey’s Music World is still open for business and going strong after 30 years. It’s located in Wilder, Kentucky which is actually on the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio. Just inside the door a sign warns visitors that the establishment is haunted and the bar is not responsible for any damages. In other words, enter at your own risk. There are more than 20 signed affidavits from police officers, employees and church leaders in regards to paranormal experiences at Bobby Mackey’s Music World. It is true that Bobby’s wife, Janet, does not go to the club any more and hasn’t stepped foot on the premises in years. Janet, who did not believe in ghosts, was physically pushed which resulted in a fall down a flight of outside stairs and told by a disembodied voice to “get out”. And she did. *** Update. Sadly Bobby Mackey’s wife Janet passed way February 15th, 2009.

This is how an ordinary place evolved into one of the most haunted sites in America.  There are two structures here. The bar itself was once a speak-easy with mob connections. The back building, at one time, was a slaughter house and the blood from butchered animals ran down the well and emptied into the Licking River.

Bobby Mackey's Wilder Kentucky

A recipe for a nightmare

Building section one which is now the nightclub

Building one is the site where love meets murder and suicide. The lovely dancer Johanna falls in love with singer Robert Randall. Her disapproving father has Robert killed. Johanna fatally poisons her father. She then goes to a secret room above the stage, writes a poem on the wall and commits suicide taking her life as well as the life of her unborn child… The activity in this location includes the sound of a crying woman believed to be Johanna locked in eternal sorrow. Bobby wrote a song called Johanna that tells her tragic tale.

The nightclub building has very strong paranormal activity. That includes heavy objects being moved and even thrown, people being pushed, and full body apparitions. The jukebox plays the Anniversary Waltz even though the record does not exist on the playlist. It has the ability to play this song whether it’s plugged in or not.

Carl Lawason was a maintenance worker who lived in the apartment upstairs. Carl is also the person who discovered the well underneath the floor in building two, which he regrets to this very day. Carl reports hearing what sounded like an army walking across the downstairs (bar area) floor every morning at 6 am. He also saw apparitions in his apartment as well as feeling cold spots and other various paranormal experiences during the time he lived on premises. Carl’s luck ran out when he actually became possessed and a six hour exorcism was performed to save him. When Carl came back into consciousness from this he was trying to choke the pastor. An unexplained fire spread up the wall immediately afterwards. Carl can still feel the negative forces present at Bobby Mackey’s.

Building section two which was the slaughterhouse.

Love becomes murder, decapitation, execution and dark eternal promises… Rewind for a moment to the well that Carl Lawason found under the floor. What he also found there was a piece of a human skull. This is the story of a girl named Pearl Bryan who was murdered by her boyfriend Scott Jackson and his companion Alonzo Walling. Her body found in the river without a head. The police dogs follow a scent that leads to the well in the slaughterhouse. Her killers were caught, tried and sentenced to death. Jackson and Walling were the last two people ever to be hung in Campbell County. Before the execution Pearl’s murderous boyfriend vows to haunt the place forever. This is a promise he and his friend Alonzo seem to have kept.

Alonzo’s spirit has been seen in the nightclub building as well and is accompanied by a feeling of heat instead of cold. He is able to manifest and has strength enough to throw garbage cans.

There is only one way to make this entire scenario worse and that is reports of devil worshipers performing satanic rites at the site of the well, opening a portal between this world and hell. The walls are stained with dripping blood, where strange and sometimes grotesque faces can be seen. A few feet from the well, a simple wooden staircase ascends to nowhere, leading only to the ceiling. Is it a pointless mockery that none can escape the doom that is this place?

Bobby Mackey

A strange twist of fate?

Bobby Mackey Was born on March25th 1948 as Randall Mackey. When Bobby was one day old his mother changed his name to Robert Randall Mackey. Robert Randall was the name of the singer killed by Johanna’s father… It’s been thirty years since Bobby felt drawn to buy the property that is now Bobby Mackey’s Music World.

His wife won’t enter Bobby Mackey’s. Carl Lawason was possessed while he lived in an upstairs apartment. One person flourishes in this hellish environment and that person is Bobby Mackey himself. At 60 years old he continues to write songs. Bobby takes the stage at his club and rocks the house with his brand of Country/Western and Bluegrass fare.

Bobby recently released his CD Foolin’ Around with his Big Mac Band.

Also released last year was his CD Ten Shades of Green.

Popular songs by Bobby Mackey include~

Ashes Of Love, Boogie Grass Band, Close To You, Corner Of Walk Don’t Walk, Heart, Hero Daddy, Pepsi Man, Poison Love, Seven Spanish Angels, Streets Of Baltimore, Thinking Of Home, With Tears In My Eyes, Yard Sale, Another Bridge To Burn, Buckaroo, I Never Once Stopped Lovin’ You, Image Of Me, Jukebox Charlie, and of course Johanna.

Bishop James Long

Bishop James Long

by Annette Munnich

Bishop James Long is a well known and respected person in the paranormal community. He does not investigate the paranormal however, he is a theologian and demonologist. Bishop James Long is presiding Archbishop of the United States Old Catholic Church, and can be found at St. Christoper Old Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He graduated from Loyola University in Illinois, and went on to  Saint Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois. It was during his time at Saint Mary of the Lake that he felt his calling to the Independent Catholic Church and was ordained a priest of the Old Catholic Church and elevated to the Episcopacy in April of 2006.

Bishop James had an interest in becoming a priest and studying demonology from a young age. He is very giving and kind natured. The Bishop does a great deal of traveling throughout the United States helping with demonic cases. He has performed and assisted with many exorcisms and truly has some bone chilling tales to tell as well as stern warnings for those who put themselves in danger from the darkside.

Bishop James was on the first episode of Ghost Adventures giving a warning to Zak Bagans about provoking evil spirits after Zak was attacked by malevolent forces at Bobby Mackeys in Wilder, Kentucky.

St. Christopher Church Louisville Kentucky

Bishop James Long  does his best to help and educate people on the subject of demonic entities and possession. He states that a demonic possession is for the purpose of the demon or demons to hurt their host body and ultimately cause them to commit suicide.

Some ways to recognize a demonic spirit…

A demonic spirit may try to disguise themselves as a ghost or even in particular a child spirit. The apparition will have a flaw such as no hands or no eyes. Demonic entities are extremely strong and can move heavy objects such as refrigerators while a human ghost is generally limited to about 15 pounds. The presence will have an aversion to prayer and activity will escalate when prayers are being said silently or aloud.

Ways that people become susceptible…

People sometimes put themselves in danger by playing with Ouija Boards or ghost boxes as they have no way of filtering the harmful from the harmless. He also adds that Demonic beings cannot spell and may pose as a child on a Ouija board as well. Other dangers include dabbling in black arts and demonic worship. People are sometimes put into danger by moving into a residence where the former occupants had these types of practices.

Bishop James recommends that people who may have demonic infestations immediately contact the Paranormal Clergy Institute and not try to fight the entities themselves.

Self help methods such as squirting Holy Water and cleansing rituals can sometimes make matters worse and more violent than they already are.

Ghost Boxes…Fact or Fiction?

Personal Experience

I spent the majority of 2008 in the ghost box research community.  About a year ago I was present when Jeff Rezman did a demonstration at an ISPI meeting in Mommence, Illinois. This led to a fascination on my part as to what, exactly, the box was capable of. I met many ghost box and RTSC (real time spirit communication) researchers and was a member of the RTSC yahoo group owned by Steve Hultay. I became friends with many people in this field, and did an interview of Steve Hultay last May which can still be read on this website. During the course of my involvement I have listened to hundreds of audio files, and have participated in approximately a dozen sessions mostly over Skype. I was an observer and never at any time have I owned or operated a Frank’s Box, Joe’s Box, Radio Shack Hack, or any other variation on what is sometimes known as the “telephone to the dead.” I was a member of Frank Sumption’s Yahoo group as an observer and never actually talked to him. I do know Joe Cioppi (Joe’s Box) and Bill Chappell (Paranormal Puck and Ovilus) through e-mail correspondence.

Do these devices work?

I know it sounds crazy, and I know the ghost box is radio based and all sorts of sounds can come through, so it’s only logical to say that people are making words and sentences out of bits and pieces of radio transmission. I thought that too. In truth, from the bottom of my heart, with all great sincerity, ghost boxes do work. It’s like the white noise principle. The radio is set to constantly scan and verifiable communication has come through as well as swearing which is not allowed on radio broadcasts. (There are people doing RTSC research without ghost boxes using running water, fans, and other background noise to capture messages from the other side.)

The spirits become familiar with the researchers and will often make reference to Frank Sumption and others on differnent boxes all over the US and beyond (although this community is primarily in the US). Each researcher has what they call “technicians” which are spirits that normally come though for that researcher and give information as well as try to connect the researcher with others they are wishing to speak to. The technicians also give warnings when dark entities are coming which are sometimes referred to as “darkheads.” If a person gives a box they once owned to someone else the new owner may be faced with a barrage of questions as to where the previous owner has gone. A well known researcher in Mexico gets communication in English although the radio stations there are all Spanish.

I’d also like to mention here that Bill Chappell’s inventions, the Paranormal Puck and the Ovilus, are not radio based.

It’s not that simple however

Yes the boxes work. Do they always work? No. Can people easily make contact with anyone they wish to speak with? No. Do the spirits predict the future for you? Sometimes they will speak of current situations and immediate future but for the most part no. Will they tell you the secrets of the universe and the mysteries of life after death? The spirits are stingy with this kind of information and sometimes other spirits will interfere and cut off communication with a spirit who is telling too much. Do the boxes always speak the truth? No. Can you control who comes through your box? No. Do people listen too hard and matrix messages out of gibberish? Yes sometimes. Do spirits lie about who they are? Sometimes yes…

The best uses for ghost boxes

Ghost boxes and all related RTSC spirit communication devices are outstanding tools at haunted locations. Often the messages come through very clearly. Most researchers and operators begin each session with a prayer of protection (even the ones that say they don’t believe in God… I haven’t really figured that one out yet:) Some use ghost box technology to help deliver earthbound spirits to the other side. They work well at cemeteries too.

You must tell the spirits you are ending the session when you are done so they can go back over to the other side and wait for the technicians to tell you everyone is back. If you don’t you may bring them home with you. This happens even to the more experienced researchers. Common. In essence the box does not just allow you to speak to the dead it attracts them into your physical environment. It is common as well for ghost box people to have infestations of unwanted ghosts and shadow people in their homes. Even those that claim to be careful. Many researchers do not use the box in their home due to bad experience. I have heard stories that would make your skin crawl.

My conclusions

After months of backseat involvement my personal opinion is that the box works. It is also my opinion that it is not reliable. Three attempts were made to contact any one of my deceased relatives and all failed. Many spirits were present talking but no one I knew for sure.

Safety Issues

From my observation the boxes are very unsafe even in the hands of those who are very experienced. I believe they open a portal of sorts and are like an electronic ouija board as Rosemary Ellen Guilley has stated. There is no way to control who will enter your environment. The box opens a door to anyone and anything. The dangers are not limtied to unwanted spirit guests who don’t want to leave, or those who accompany you home from another location.

Secondary dangers include believing all messages coming trough the box to be true. Egomania occurs in many cases as the researcher feels special and privileged communicating with the dead. Full blown obsession with the ghost boxes is not uncommon. Spending more time with the dead than the living is not healthy for anyone.

Communicating With the Dead

by Annette Munnich

This is a good time of year to discuss the different methods of spirit communication and the risk factors involved. While I don’t wish to scare anyone off of something they may want to do for whatever reason, I would like to attempt to send you off on your journeys with a level head. The warning goes doubly strong to teenagers and young adults searching for a cheap thrill to entertain themselves.

I sent my son off to college this year with many warnings about paranormal games. There is a certain rush involved in sitting around in the dark with friends and scaring yourselves silly… Maybe a few dares go back and forth… Peer pressure works in many ways.

Conjuring & Satanism

The worst thing anyone can do is plug into negative energy. Sometimes I think people struggle with the hardship of life and find themselves willing to try things like black magic and satanic type things. It feels good to be powerful. It feels strong to control others by fear. All of it is the opposite of helplessness. So I think this is why people will do such vile things. The fantasy in the mind can be spun out of the lore that the devil will give you want you want in life as well as protect you. In reality your acts can be a doorway for entities that are not spirits as they have never been living human beings. Once they have been invited to the earth plane they do whatever they want and will use and abuse the very person or people who helped them gain entrance here, plus the innocent who knew nothing of the wickedness that went on without their knowledge, that could be your mother or baby sister… anybody at all.

Read this next part twice. If a situation becomes dire enough for help to be called in realize that a dark force cannot be sent to the light into heaven like a human spirit can be crossed over. A dark force can be banished from a person or place, but will usually remain on our plane of existence. It simply goes somewhere else. You see it doesn’t just go back where it came from because it was invited to our world and can remain here now. Do I really believe what I am saying here? Yes. I lived in a house previously occupied by devil worshipers.

Ouija Boards

Some people use Ouija boards and never even get any results. Some use them and get some communication and yet nothing bad happens. Some people, however,  succeed in opening a door they can’t close. I’ve seen the Ouija used on TV shows like Most Haunted and Yvette Fielding thinks they can be a helpful tool. Let me explain something here. Using the Ouija at a haunted location and asking the spirit there to use it to communicate is not the same as using it in your basement and saying is there anybody out there who would like to talk to us or make themselves known? Do not use it in such a way that it can create an open door for anyone or anything to enter your home. It’s like putting a sign on your home that says anyone at all with any kind of intention just walk right in. You wouldn’t do that with the living, so don’t do that with the dead.

Table Tipping, Tapping, Rapping and etc…

Table tipping is when a number of people sit at a table and hold hands asking for spirit to give a sign or answer by moving the table. Tapping and rapping is asking spirit to make knocking sounds or to repeat knocks that you are making. These can be good techniques at a haunted location. Since it is used to speak with a particular ghost or ghosts on the premises it is safer than the open invitation of Ouija. If you suspect that your home is haunted ans are wanting to try this my only warning is that you must consider that encouraging communication can make your haunting become stronger and intensify. In fact any attempts at communication risk the strengthening of the haunt. I’m not saying you should never do it. I am just trying to help you make an informed decision.

Seance

Conducting a seance is generally not too dangerous as the people present attempt to communicate with those they knew in life or respected. A seance in a haunted location can produce good results and can be used in combination with other techniques. If however you are calling the spirit of Jack the Ripper that significantly changes my answer.

Frank’s Box, Ghost Box, Real Time Spirit Communication Devices (RTSC)

There is real danger here in inexperienced hands. Like the Ouija board, the ghost box is open to anyone and anything. There is no way to tell what you might get. Some of my best friends are ghost box researchers and many have had lingering paranormal activity in their homes after using these devices. The ghost box can be used to cleanse a home or area of unwanted spirits as well as help move them into the light if they are earthbound. The ghost box can work very well in haunted locales. Many of my friends who do research have stopped using it inside their houses and find it safer to be used in the backyard or garage instead. It’s always imperative that the operator gives the spirits time to go back to the other side before turning the box off. Always ask if everyone has gone back home and wait for a yes answer.

I would very strongly urge anyone who buys a device like this or makes a shack hack to have contact with someone who is experienced at using it for guidance. I recommend Jeff Rezman and Bruce Halliday who both  have written articles here on the Python. There are some good rtsc research groups available as on the internet as well. These are powerful tools best to be  used very responsibly.

Pendulums

The risk factor associated with these tools depends entirely on how they are used. A pendulum can be used to ask yes and no questions from spirit.  When used as spirit communication devices they come with some risk. The pendulum can intensify the level of paranormal activity in your home the same as table tipping, rapping, and tapping etc…

Prayers of Protection and Visualization

It is possible to use protection prayers and also creative visualization techniques to ward off possible bad consequences. Seeing yourself enclosed in a bubble of white light can help. It’s always prudent to take a few minutes of time for this at the beginning of any paranormal investigation or activity. Remember that everything is made out of energy and strengthening your own energy is to your benefit. Actually if you are going to attempt any spirit communication it is best to do it when you are not in a low energy state, which is not to just mean that you are tired, but also means if you are in pain or in a bad mood. Wait for a better time as like attracts like.

Be smart. Keep good counsel and advisers. Don’t do things alone.

If you want games and cheap thrills I recommend backgammon and roller coasters. Be safe.

Stuart’s Malevolent Orbs?

by Annette Munnich August 2008
A few months ago I was sent an amazing photo from my friend Rob Smith (EVP/ITC Australia) and that led me to trying to find some advice for Stuart. Stuart from Queensland Australia, feels he is attacked by orbs. He believes they are mean-spirited and out to hurt him. Now the pictures as you can see here are pretty extreme.I will tell you upfront that I have been kind of warned off this project because no paranormal investigator worth his or her salt nowadays pays much attention to orb photographs. In fact it’s true that many of the experts I tried to consult with did not respond.

The e-mails from Stuart to me pulled me in his corner. He told me that no one believed him or would help him. He has had many paranormal experiences in his lifetime. Stuart died and was resuscitated many times. He is able to see auras and have out of body experiences. My own experience in the paranormal has shown that people who have had near death experiences sometimes come back with “gifts” Stuart seems very sincere in his distress.

Orbs and the Paranormal Community

I do love the TAPS guys and I understand that orb photos can never be used as evidence to skeptics because they might be the product of a dirty lens, or dust, or even insects. Okay. This has evolved to a place where black and white thinking has taken over and orbs are totally dismissed as not being real. People have told me, “don’t even talk to me about orbs.”I have a sneaking suspicion that many won’t speak out due to fear of putting a dent in their credibility. One thing about me is that I don’t give a lick about what skeptics think or proving anything to anybody. As the old saying goes… “For some people no proof is necessary and for other people no amount of proof is enough.” Because orb photos could be dust or bugs I don’t think they can be evidence of a haunting in and of themselves. I think they are an energy phenomenon. They seems to show up in haunted locations, and are sometimes seen with a naked eye. Somewhere between the dust and bug theory, and the orbs are proof of ghosts theory, is the truth. Orbs are an energy phenomenon we don’t understand and they are of common occurrence in haunted locales and graveyards. In short, just because they can’t provide the investigator with the perfect proof, does not necessarily mean they are nothing. This is just my opinion, and I’m not afraid to tell it.

Dave Juliano from the Shadowlands Ghosts and Hauntings website says this…

“I always approach things with a bit of skepticism, so when I saw all these websites start showing off these photos as ghosts, I was just as weary as most of you.  I just had to try it for myself.  I took a 35mm camera that I had used regularly for 6 years in all types of lighting and weather and had never gotten an orb or other unexplainable photo before and went out with a few seasoned field investigators on a cemetery investigation.  One of the investigators was psychic and she pointed out a few areas we should take photos, so I did.  I also had ghost footsteps walkup behind me twice and I turned around quickly and took photos of the empty air.  When I got my photos developed, I had these orbs and fog in those photos that I was told to take, as well as the footstep ones.  All my other photos were normal.  Coincidence?

Since we do not know what orbs truly are, just that they seem to be found mainly in areas where there is ghost activity, I will tell you what they are not.  On a normal investigation there are about 10 people using 10 different cameras, 35mm and digital, and many speeds and brands of film.  They all get their film developed at separate places.  Let’s say only half of these investigators get some orb photos.  Are these water spots or dirt on the lens?  That would mean that 5 people all had similar dirt on their lens and all 5 did not clean their lens either.  Are these orbs film processing errors?  Well the 35mm cameras all had their film developed in different locations and used different film so that is very unlikely.  The digital cameras can’t have film-processing errors.  I am aware that some people feel that the orbs on a digital camera are an error in the digital processing of the image.  When that error does occur in digital photos, the objects tend to be square in nature, not round and they cannot be semi-transparent, the pixel behind would have to be corrupted also.  I will not even address the precipitation theory, no legitimate researchers takes photos in any form of precipitation.   What about dust and dirt being stirred up? Can that be the cause of the orbs?   If that were the case, I would think that there would not be normal photos in a sequence of photos from the same camera and location.  All of the shots in a sequence should have the dust or dirt in it. We find that most orb photos do not appear in consecutive photos.  All photographers present should get orbs if it is dust being stirred up as well.

These are just a few things for the skeptics to think of when they are condemning an orb photo as a fake or fraud and some things for investigators to consider when checking their photos for positives.”

Anyway back to poor Stuart’s situation

I would like to share some of Stuart’s e-mails to me to help you understand his plight. Now no matter what our personal beliefs are here, there is a person who feels very alone in dealing with what he absolutely believes is a paranormal attack. Since I felt he was sincere in his despair I thought he was worth a few minutes of compassionate consideration, yes?

Dear Annette, I’ve been a successful  professional prospector all my life. Prospected internationally and  in Australia , I’ve been very lucky, all I’ve ever done is ask  and my mate up  there has  showed me the minerals. My Journey started when I was 6 years old when I got polio and was crippled. I cried and prayed for hours for Jesus to heal me ,as I didn’t want to be crippled .I woke up next day and was healed,  My life is a long strange  story . I’ve heard voices all my life that have saved me in dangerous times. Out of body experiences that have changed my consciousness for ever.I died 7 or 8 times on a life support for 1 .5 months and came back . I got a deadly incurable bacteria from bats in an old gold mine. Thats another story. I  went on journeys to the other side , maybe that’s why these orbs are attracted to me. Maybe they see something different in my aura, I’ve seen aura’s around everything since I was six years old.  Regards, Stu..   PS. I had a bad night last night , an orb came above me in bed and flashed a brilliant white light that hit me on the forehead, I then had an electric shock that  really hit me hard right through my body. Twice now. It then zapped me 3 times in the head, cells sparking.     43 times now.     Annette , if these orbs let loose on humans we are in big trouble, they are not friendly. I’ve have seeked danger all my life, I was a crocodile hunter when I was younger,I got hooked on the adrenalin in the hunt. Prospected in Bulgaria with the Russians, plenty of danger there, Prospected in the jungles of Central America, Panama, Costa Rica and Honduras confronted all the dangers, BUT I’m up against something different now something I can’t see fully , I am really concerned.

Dear Annette,My ears started to ring high pitched ,I was laying back in an arm chair , I had the camera ,pressure started to come on my head, I was about to be zapped I flashed and here is the photo. My foot in the picture, Regards ,Stu.

Dear Annette,  Re:  the EMF meter , I don’t have one. Every time I go onto the computer and send orb pictures, that night I get zapped, again last night. What I have  been hearing is like a grunt or a bark sound, then I am zapped, but it sounds like it’s in my head . last night I woke hearing like a pack of savage dogs growing, I thought it was out side but it was in my head ,then zapped. When I went to sleep I thought of my old crocodile hunting days, I feel they read my mind, they certainly observe me on the computer as I have photographed them. They are very intelligent.It sounds crazy but its real. I feel if anyone keeps photographing them over and over and over in one area eventually they will be attacked. Regards, Stu

I think maybe because he is surrounded by so many orbs he is experiencing something akin to electrical shock from their combined energy. I suggested that but he feels otherwise. He feels they are coming to him with malevolent intent. I am referring this case to my friend Allison Andrews in Australia. She has a TV show there called Haunted Australia and hopefully some good contacts over there. More than I do for sure.I’d like to find someone who could help him in person.

Now it’s up to you my Parareaders to decide for yourselves. Is Stuart crazy? Seeking attention? Is his lens really, really, dirty? Or is Queensland the land of outrageous dust and bugs? I don’t know the answer.

If any of you has any help to offer Stuart please e-mail me at editor@paranormalpython.com

A special thank you to Steven LaChance and Dusty Smith, for being consultants on this case.
Steven and Dusty are both very straightforward and helpful. I appreciate the input very much.

UPDATE

With none of us knowing what to do in a case like this as it is the first of it’s known kind, it was decided to recommend A picture of Saint Michael and the accompanying Saint Michael’s prayer. Stuart reports that his attacks have lessened in frequency but still occur on occasion.

The Prayer reads as follows~

Prayer to Archangel Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
