DIARY OF A GHOST HUNTER

This is a short story I wish to share. Its about how that nasty spooky paranormal stuff can lead to ground breaking invention. Its about a young boy called Hans. Hans was to become a doctor just like his father but Hans was more interested in astronomy and poetry so he went to a big city to attend University to become an astronomer. The big city didn't suit him so he took off a year and joined the cavalry. Even though it was a time of peace he relished the hard training and being with the horses. One day as he was out riding his horse suddenly reared up and Hans was tossed in the air and landed hard on the road in the path of a fast approaching horse draw cannon. Hans thought, that at that moment, he was going to die but somehow the carriage missed him and, although greatly shaken, he was safe. At the very same moment far away Han's sister felt an overwhelming anxiety that something had just happened to her brother and pestered her father to make immediate contact b...

  Vortex: The Gateway to the spirit world? This article features: The Warehouse on the Canal in Canal Fulton which is the home of Ohio's Edgar Allan Poe Theater and is considered the Center for Ohio's Paranormal, Supernatural and the Macabre. By definition, a vortex is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. But, we are not talking about this type of vortex. In the paranormal when you talk about a vortex you are referring to an area of concentrated energy that can act as a portal for spirits traveling between the spirit world and this world.  When one encounters a vortex they may feel a range of sensations from a slight tingling on the exposed skin, to a vibration emanating from the ground, a sense of swaying, light headed, a feeling of being sucked into the ground among other sensations.  Mediums and others who are sensitive often get headaches and are unable to stay even in the area around the vortex itself. At the Warehouse we have a very stro...

Carl Jung was one member of the founding fathers of the science of modern psychology. They were Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich. Freud is the most well known of the three, followed by Jung and then Reich.* The supernatural and parapsychology was no stranger to Jung. He personally underwent a near-death experience, had clairvoyant dreams, incidents of precognition, encountered various hauntings with actual manifestations and poltergeist activity. He conducted experiments in telepathy and had a spirit guide known as Philemon, who flew out of the sky one day and landed at Jung’s side. Jung gave him the nickname of the “Old Wise Man” and they often conversed as they walked together in Jung’s garden. Jung claimed he had a second soul, one that allowed him to access the occult realm. Many of his beliefs were derived from The Tibetan Book of the Dead which he consulted though out his professional life. He used the I-Ching to help diagnose patient’s maladies and suggest treatme...

Author: Bobby Elgee Ghost Dance Texture by Ian Burt via Flickr I believe in humans. I’m not sure I believe in ghosts. Though I’m a skeptic, I can unequivocally say that I’ve encountered events I haven’t been able to explain. Whether the phenomena was caused by a ghost–the existence of a human consciousness after death–or other paranormal source, I can’t say for sure. No one else on the planet can say for sure either. At least in the foreseeable future, I suspect that we may never be able to answer the question as to the existence of ghosts. Perhaps it’s something we aren’t ‘meant’ to know. Belief in ghosts is just that–belief–and every human is entitled to their beliefs. Given the above caveat, humans behave in predictable patterns and, by definition, intelligent ghosts should too. So, when a paranormal investigator visits a haunted residence how do they tell the difference between an intelligent vs a residual haunting? The answer isn’t quite as clear as it seems. Let’s...

Every small experience one has with what is perceived to be outside the realm of the normal is something to be considered, pondered and appreciated even if we just think of it as just a curious anomaly. Each of us has different views on what is paranormal and what is a profound experience for one person may be looked at as total piffle for someone else. I try and stay open minded to everyone's personal experiences as I know, that as much as I might want to be believed when something happens to me, so does everyone else. So therefore if you come to talk with me and say that you have experienced something bizarre, unusual, paranormal I will believe what you say. I will also try to look for rational explanations, I will look for influences of the mind , drugs and alcohol. I will look for environmental explanations and the influences of others as some people find joy in explioting another's vulnerability. But, in some cases, as much as I might look for another reason..there is n...

Its been a big first year for Newcastle Ghost Tours and we have many people to thank for our success. First and foremost our husbands who have involuntarily supported us financially this whole year. We PROMISE to try and make some money to "take home" in 2012 instead of spending all of yours...really we do. To the rest of the family who have survived without us being at home on many, many nights and many nights of uncooked meals, many days of unwashed clothes and dirt piling up in the every corner of the house and lots and lots of " honey, please can you do me a favor" requests. Big thanks go to Angela and Kirstin from Boo Paranormal who were dedicated members of the team for much of this year and for their support on tours and investigations. We wish them the best of luck with their personal ventures in the new year. To our ghost hunting colleagues who supported us on SO many tours like Gail, Kim, Ken, Deb and Rochelle -to name but a few- and everyone who c...
