Paranormal 101: Walk Throughs Before Investigation/Hunt

Our friends over at SCREAM PARANORMAL RESEARCH posted this video to help illustrate the importance of walk through(s) before an investigation/hunt. [youtube=http://youtu.be/lcejJQzOWU8]

This video was lighthearted and showed the simple problems of what happens without conducting a good walk through(s) earlier, but in buildings that are in various states of disrepair, the dangers are increased and people can get hurt. (Case in point – we investigated a hotel under renovations and had to place boards over holes in the floor that people could fall down to the floor below… SAFETY FIRST!). When doing outside investigations its good to note holes in the ground or objects that can be tripped over.

Now that safety has been taken care of.  The other point of walk through(s) is too see the “hot spots” or major activity areas.  It also allows you to see where you want and can place things like recorders, video, etc. (Ghost Adventures marks spots for cameras with an ‘X’ for example).  Once you have your “hot spots” mapped you can then start investigating! Major advantage of walk through(s) on larger locations is helps people remember where they going, so either get a map from the owner/representative or make your own!

Famous Dopplegangers

I’ve been thinking about the way life has a funny  way of teaching you things you never imagined or dreamed, but the road has many bumps and challenges. I’ve given up counting the days/pieces that fit together the synchronicity of it all, but at times even that is nothing like seeing the past come alive: case in point i’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of Nicholas Cage and an unknown “civil war era” man – who look remarkably alike, some theories are Nicholas Cage is a vampire lol I think maybe genetics is more the cause here… or maybe a Past-life experience intruding on present time. 😉 Still the amazing similarities between these two men is crazy. But of course theirs more! John Travolta also has a doppelganger from the 1860’s (coincidence in the time frames here?), while I don’t know about Cage’s beliefs – Travolta is a a member of the Church of Scientology, which believes in reincarnation… so maybe it is him. What? You need more?  How about Raphael’s masterpiece from 16th Century painting with Rambo/Rocky himself Sylvester Stallone guest starring? You got it! The world and history is full of amazing things… some explainable, some unique, all of them makes me think the world & time really sometimes does come full circle….

Alice

"Alice" from 'Alice in Wonderland'
“Alice” from ‘Alice in Wonderland’

We all have stories working and investigating paranormal claims, the longer you do it the more stories we collect & hear – more importantly experience. Today talking with a local person who contacted us for help, I may have made a link in where my “Alice” came from… I call her “Alice” because she resembled Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” –  the possibilities are exciting. The story behind my “Alice” is interesting, but for another time, now I have to start the research end now and figure out what’s next, not just for my client but for me….
