Basic Questions

What are Ghosts?
Ghosts are departed souls who have lived and died on this earth. Their emotions and intelligence survives after death.

Are Ghosts evil?
Ghost for the most part are good spirits, but think about it, how many evil people are there? Yes, there can be evil spirits, but the odds of having one in your home are rare.

What is a haunting?
A haunting is a repeated manifestation of strange and inexplicable sensory phenomena. The term haunt comes from the same root word as home.

Why do hauntings occur?
This is something that parapsychologists are researching and investigating. A house could retain memories of psychic impressions. A house could incorporate the thoughts, actions and feelings of it's former occupants, which would manifest as a haunting to the psychically sensitive.

Q: What Is The Difference Between a "Sensitive" and a "Medium?"

A: This is a matter of semantics .I believe it was Shakespeare who said" A Rose by any other name still smells as sweet" Now personally,I prefer the word "Sensitive" or "Gifted With Second Sight"" to "Medium". A "Medium" reminds me of a tea room with a little elderly Gypsy lady who reads the crystal ball .I call myself "gifted" I have never known a time when I wasn't. I guess that you can say that I was born "Gifted with Second Sight"

Q: Why do people only investigate at night? Can you investigate in the daytime?

A: People wrongly assume that ghosts only appear at night.They say (wrongly) that ghosts only appear between the hours of midnight and three AM. Midnight being the old "witching hour" and three AM being the antithesis of Christ's Crucifixion called in the ghost hunting sphere,"Dead Time." Of course one can ghost hunt during the day,all you need is an open mind and perhaps you can catch out of the corner of your eye, that elusive apparition. Virginia City,Nevada is great for ghost hunting even during the day.The loss of life here was tremendous.so of course ghosts abound here at any time Remember that they were once people just like our selves with a corporeal body,so why would they be seen only exclusively at night?

Q: How rare do you think it is to see an apparition?

A: I don't think it is rare at all.Now maybe a FULL TORSO apparition.Some spirits can manifest easily and others still can't I think it is the ability to use the energy of others that might allow them to manifest fully.Some of us that are "gifted" see them as easily as we see the living,others don't.

Q: Why do you think everyone can get an EVP,But NOT see a ghost?

A: Spirits might find it easy to manifest a voice imprint,but not have the capacity to fully manifest in spirit or ghostly form. Some people are at the right place at the right time,others are not. I think "luck of the draw" might be a good analogy. What is it that the gentleman said on the movie "The Shining?" "SOME PEOPLE "SHINE",AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T" in other words, some are gifted with the Sight or Second Sight. Believe me this is more "curse" than it is "gift",I speak from experience.

Q: Can a ghost hurt you or follow you home?

A: It was once believed that a ghost could not hurt you or follow you home. Since the cameraman from TAPS can attest to being launched and landing on his back I would say that answer is a resounding YES! If the TAPS family members also remember that happened after one of the TAPS team provoked the ghost to do something,Provocation can get one hurt.Talk to them as if they were just another human being and you were interviewing them about their life, and please, introduce yourselves,just as though you were at somebody's home, your results will astound you! After all "You get more flies with sugar, than you do with vinegar" These spirits still have human feelings and don't know how to use their new found other side gifts yet. I have seen still other ghost hunters get hurt or scratched.Even Jason of TAPS can attest to this as He was scratched by a "poltergeist" or "noisy ghost."
Can they follow you home? Sounds like the Disneyland "Haunted House Ride" I believe that people can find themselves "Attached" by spirits of ghosts that are not happy where they find themselves without a body and can try to "attach" themselves to the living.This is when a good ghost hunter knows when to "White Light" him or her self using positive White Light Energy or They can simply tell them person to person to "BACK AWAY!" Again, you are dealing with the essence of somebody just as alive as we are now,they have feelings too, and they are scared of where they find themselves and without the ability to communicate. Ghost Hunters, put yourselves in their shoes for a moment. Wouldn't it be terrifying for you, if suddenly you found that you could not communicate with anyone? Ones with the second sight gift should not offer themselves to spirits like the British Medium Derek Acorah does infrequently nor should one use the OUIJA board as this opens doors to other dimensions that are better left closed.. We should use the EVP instrument or the new White Noise Box if they wish to communicate with us,


Q: What are some of the ways you can increase paranormal activity?
Gretchen Wood
Silver Springs, Nevada
A: You can increase paranormal activity at a previously hunted site by recharging, a person who has an aura similar to that person, an epicenter, a seance, renovations of a house seems to start activity especially if it were an unkept promise. If you have the history of the area you may want to bring a sentimental object of the deceased.

Q: What are ghost's pets?
Chris Tee Collins
Reno, Nevada
A: There are many stories about pets such as dogs and cats, that die and remain with their masters. Perhaps these animals have souls that remain here with us as ghosts, because they love us and the power of love is very strong, even in death. If we have energy that continues, why wouldn't they?
