I see these gadgets on tv and online all the time advertised as "ghost detectors". What are they? Do they work?
The tool I'm talking about is also known as an Electromagnetic Field detector. I've known that EMF's can affect many things from WiFi connections, hearing aids, cellular signals...to human and plant cells. I know that some people are very sensitive to them but I really had an experience today at work. I was running cable for an internet connection on campus and happened to pass through the generator room. WOW! I've heard the "hummm" of electrical cabinets in the past, but never did I really feel that "pressure" that I did today. You really can tell when the juice is flowing through those things. Your body is a very powerful tool when it comes to investigating the paranormal.
Although things like EMF detectors can help with finding your own proof, remember that not everyone will accept it AS proof. You need to not only open your mind but also open your body and use it as an extension of your mind. Use all of your senses and trust them. I've never failed to get a supernatural photo or audio clip when I trust my gut feelings. The biggest non-believer or closed minded person may not believe in things that can't be seen, but even the staunchest skeptic can be shown the light if they experience things on their own. We don't need to prove anything to anyone other than ourselves. If a skeptic wants proof, bring them along with you and share in the experience. Make it a rule beforehand, however, that they need to be quiet and let you do your thing or it's not going to be worth it. Pranks, Jokes, etc. won't prove or disprove anything, and only increases the chances that someone will get hurt.
FIY..I've been working on getting some of our files uploaded so I can post pictures online from several investigations. Keep coming back! Also coming soon are notes and summaries from the investigations themselves!

Happy Mother's Day
The most important thing parents can teach their children to have is an open mind. Without that, how can anyone see the world around them for what it truly is? I get sick and tired of people telling me flat out that they don't believe in something because no "proof" exists, but then go on in the same breath to explain that they wouldn't accept any proof anyway because it's all fake.
Come ON! It's possible to be a skeptic and still keep an open mind to possibilities. There is much more to this world than we know. Where's my proof for that statement? Well, if we already knew everything, why do we have science? Why still study it? Why hire researchers?
Don't close your mind to the possibility of something simply because you haven't seen it yourself or out of fear. The unknown can be a beautiful thing, and affects our lives in many mysterious ways.
Keep your minds open, and a whole new world of opportunities will arise. Doors will open that were formerly closed to you, and you'll see things in a new light. Just remember that simply saying you have an open mind doesn't mean squat. You shouldn't HAVE to say anything. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.
Enjoy your mother's day!

"Gut Feelings"
Have you ever had "one of those feelings" that you just couldn't ignore? My wife had one of those last night and we called every family member we knew of to make sure everything was okay. It WAS all okay, but the nagging feeling still lingers in the house.
Here's my own personal theory: It could be a number of things, from the recently deceased from a major car accident near our house.. it could be someone/thing looking for someone to listen...It could also have been that something DID happen to a family member in some distant or parallel place.
Who really knows? I know that she's rarely wrong about her feelings, and I know that when I was changing our 2 year old's diaper last night she was frightened and told me, "scary, I said go away!... scary all gone now." and she smiled at me. Interesting, isn't it? She's quite a gifted child. Later today I'll be posting more and hopefully soon adding some stories for you.

I'm doing it!
I've finally decided this is the way to go. I'm going to be attempting to post everyday so that you all have something to read and to know that I'm still out here. My goal is to be able to share with you not only things about the unknown, but also to have an ongoing dialogue with my readers. I really feel that this is going to be fun for all! I'm hoping to have a book out soon, too, so keep checking back for more info on that!
I'm going to be posting as frequently as possible.. providing I can get the software to work with me and let me add posts!
