I’ve been thinking allot about these famous ghost associations, like Taps Family or GAC (Ghost Adventures Crew).  In case you don’t know, these are a way for paranormal groups who prolly have never met the famous parent teams to be  “part of” family/crew….  Now Taps Family for example has strict rules to be part of the family, which is good thing! All teams in this field need good rules and principles to follow, that I agree with 100%.

What I don’t agree with is a team like TAPS or Ghost Adventures basically becoming an idol and blindly followed because of the doors it can open.  I’m told being a Taps Family or GAC member allows you access because of their name to get into places….. Well whoop de do. When I got into the paranormal my goal was to explore the unknown, not to use some one elses name in the field to get me into places.  Anyone whose known me for awhile knows I stand on my own, i’m unique and love the fact that Midnight Watchmen are unique as well!  I’ve gotten into places no one has because of the leg work we did, not someone elses!

I’d rather be remembered for doing my own thing then following in footsteps of another just because their famous… Strike your own path!   I’m also worried that TAPS or GAC in some way form would ‘cherry pick’ the hot case and leave a local team out because they the head of the house.  That being said, I have no ill will or bad things to say about Taps Family or GAC members.  This is just how I feel overall on the subject.

And i’ll state here, now… That Midnight Watchmen will never be a Taps Family or GAC member or start our own crew/family.  We work with anyone and everyone.  I personally believe Para Unity or whatever you want to call it will only work with teams working together, not under the “big dogs”…

As some of you who follow us here may have noticed a few new names popped up for writing lately:  Jon Bolton, Frank Heiberger, & ParanomGal.  Jon Bolton is John Cannon our fellow Midnight Watchmen member, he’s decided to return to his real name for his paranormal adventures. Frank Heiberger is a paranormal Investigator from Chicago, Illinois and contributes to our Cannon Shots section.  ParanormalGal is a western Pennsylvania investigator and Cannon Shots contributor as well.

Cannon Shots is what I call articles that range in topics and views that may not be generally Midnight Watchmen’s.  I as the founder let them run wild, hitting any mark they see fit. These writers are not given assignments or ideas, they totally go on their own for their posts/ideas.  Which is what makes their writings unique and we hope thought provoking!

Different ideas have been the corner stone of the Midnight Watchmen style of operation. We have never kept people from have their own opinions, even if they differ from ours.  I know for a fact that Jon Bolton for lack of a better term tweaked people with his article on “White Light Healing… Someone Call an Electrician“, and that started a nice debate on the subject internally and out worldly with others.

So let me officially welcome Jon Bolton, Frank Heiberger & ParanomGal to our team of thought provoking writers of Cannon Shots! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Peace,

The paranormal community as a whole probably could be more entertaining then all of the soaps combined!  We have so many conflicting views, cat fighting and just general discourse that the entertainment of watching groups, people, places implode would captivate an audience more the any paranormal find.. .hell an alien talking to a full body apparition caught on 1080p video would be over looked when groups fight! Oh he hates him, she likes them…. YUCK!!!!!

I’m personally tired of the whole i’m right your wrong bullshit that goes on. I mean two faced people aren’t needed in any phase of my life.  You hate someone, hey fine… don’t deal with them! I think that’s a simple idea, or better yet you want to be accepted as professional then act it!  Is that a hard concept? Nope… well for some it is….

I guess the main part of my rant here is that people whether its clients, para groups/person, or yourself needs to upfront and honest with not just yourself, but others around you as well.  I will never understand the point in attacking people for no reason, but saying you hate people who do that…. wow… hi my name is Cedric! Your? oh Hypocrite. Nice to meet you!

As Robert A. Heinlein  said, “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own… Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.”

The paranormal community could learn a lot from that quote… love the quest, enjoy the ride…. grow as a person on this journey don’t be bogged down by what you didn’t do that someone else has done or did first, be proud of what you’ve done… follow your passion, just don’t let it consume you…..
