I saw a story over on CNN’s website (read here) about a piece of parchment that some believe Jesus is quoted as saying “his wife” and of course its controversial. Jesus’ Wife so of course some believe its a fake, others that its real. The original story goes back to 2012 when testing was delayed and the results according to the Harvard Theological Review are that it is indeed genuine. So the question begs, was this a direct reference to his wife? Or maybe just an out of context statement since most of the parchment is missing…. Either way it will stir and cause much debate in Christian world. And as we say debate is good, makes people think, but this made me think alot about other moments in history we know little to nothing about….
Like for example the missing link of man whether it be a Bigfoot or another ape creature or could it be something more paranormal like alien intervention/manipulation of DNA – I mean without that scientific or definitive proof aren’t all ideas on the table?? We have cities and structures that seem to be out of time like Puma Punko or even the Pyramids that seem to be similar around the world from people who supposedly had no interaction with each other. Ancient man was either more advanced then we give credit to or we’ve missed something in our timeline. The more we learn the more questions we find & in the end that is the journey of self discovery for every bit learned, another question arises….
As I’ve said before: join us as we continue our search of whats out there and if you dare, look for it yourself. 😉
First off are groups who claim non profit status without paperwork… That’s not illegal – try being honest and say not for profit. Hell its what Ghost Hunters had to do… yup they used to say non profit all the time….. kinda hard without paperwork. 😉
People/Groups who claim they want to help people and take weeks to respond to emails, social media, or any other form of contact. Come on. If you have problems answering simple questions why would anyone want you to help them with serious issues? And if you can’t find the time to answer a simple question in a timely matter you sure as hell won’t be able to handle a serious one…..
People/Groups who don’t listen to anything another has learned and immediately jumps to being attacked. Open mind its like a parachute it works better, no one says you have to agree but listen. We do it all the time for clients or should be so why not other ideas about the paranormal?
And now something I noticed that’s a positive. Over the last 2 years I’ve seen allot more groups working together, sure maybe I dropped the bad ones and that’s why I see things better, but in reality I don’t think its true. More groups are a like then they care to realize. So keep up the good work and if you or your group fall under my list above and before…. well get to fixing it. I’m not perfect neither is my team and I put that out there. So if you need help or want to help me get better contact me below at my email. Working together is easy. Honestly the more views you have of the world will help you see it more clearly.

It depends on the day of the week and what mood I am in, right now I feel like the lead character in the movie “Ground Hog Day” LOL
What are your thoughts on networking with other teams or investigators?
Do it! never hurts to get different points of view.
Hunter, Investigator, Researcher – What do you want to be referred to and why?
I prefer researcher for myself. while I have gone on investigations, my physical limitations sometimes do not allow for that, so I take pride in more of the research aspect of it that doesn’t require going to every single investigation.
What is your most memorable paranormal experience?
I have to say the ones with my son in toe. For some reason we seem to see the same things at the same time.
Have you ever had an experience where you’ve crossed a spirit over?
Nope and I never will attempt it. It is not my place. If they want to cross over they will find a way on their own. I truly believe people are hear (whether living or dead) for a reason and when they are due to cross over, they will.
Did you have experiences while growing up?
Yes, frequently
What is your favorite Paranormal Show (TV/Internet/Radio)?
NEPA’s Ghost Detectives, Hey I am biased I support my friends. Actually its the only show I will even watch anymore.
What are your thoughts about Provoking?
HUGE NO-NO. Have some respect. Treat spirits how you would treat the living. I mean think about it, you are in THEIR space and you decide to pull an attitude??? Wow, Even I would start throwing things around the room if someone came into MY house and demanded personal information.
What are your thoughts about Orbs? Dust or spirit? How do you tell the difference?
Too easily explained away (dust,lighting etc)…I wont bother with them.
Would you ever use a Medium or Psychic on your team?
JRo Jesse Roth. I am formerly a research investigator for SONA Paranormal. More recently I am getting into the journalistic aspect of the paranormal field by writing blogs and producing an internet radio show.
Do you believe in Reincarnation? Who do you think you were in your past life (or lives)?
Yes I believe in it to a degree, I don’t necessarily think everyone reincarnates or they always become a person, they may become a thing as well. Anyhow, whoever I was or whatever I was, I must have been awful. I live with two disabling injuries and chronic pain.
What are your thoughts on Para Unity?
Hmmmmm good question. I think in theory its a good idea and can work when used properly, but I have seen many not so nice teams use it to rip people to shreds as well.My thoughts are, if you can’t get along with certain people (which does happen in life, lets be honest) then just go about your own business and leave others alone. There is plenty of room for all of us.
Have you ever investigated a Church?
What are your thoughts on this? Technically? no I have not. I have been in an empty church with my team, I have investigated a parsonage and the attached cemetery, but the church itself, No I have not. It was more of a time constraint issue other wise i would have been all for it.
When having a joint investigation with another team(s), how do you select the team(s) or members of other teams that you invite?
The rare occasion I have had to work joint investigations, was never a “which team member do we invite” situation, It was both teams are going, whoever can go from each team goes.
What do you tell someone looking to join a team, what should they look for or ask?
Oh Mylanta, I have written blog upon blog about this. Let me copy ad paste my own work:
“You want to find people who don’t mind if you ask questions or will offer advice on using equipment. And won’t get upset with you for asking. Also while this field can be expensive, it is not required to spend a lot of money you don’t have. You don’t need equipment right out of the gate and when do decide to purchase equipment, you want to find someone you can trust who will not steer you in the wrong direction and will point out the differences between good equipment and shotty equipment. As I stated earlier, none of us are “experts” but I would like to add there people who are more educated and more experienced. When I come across a person who asks me advice and I can’t help them, I have a list of teams I personally trust to give them the right guidance. I regard these few teams highly just for their generosity in time and advice and have never steered me wrong.
I also recommend looking for team that will be understanding. Many of us have different personal issues outside of this life that we have to work around. Several work full time jobs, have families and other obligations. You don’t want to get involved with a team that will not tolerate your personal situation. In my case I don’t have the energy to make every investigation and I may have to take breaks now and again because of my medical situation or other personal situations, but I was lucky to have found such a great team to work with who understands these needs and welcomes me back aboard when I am ready. It needs to go both ways though. If you bail on a project you must be understanding that they will proceed without you. I tell people I work with the best of the best, because in my opinion I do. We work well together, no drama and it’s all for the team. I stress it is very important to find people to work with that you trust and trust you. Team SONA is definitely an extension of family to me as it goes with many teams I am sure. They know my health and my child always come first.”
Steer clear of teams who aren’t helpful in any instance. There is an unnecessary amount of competition in this field. It’s not a race. While there are probably some legitimate reasons a group won’t work with another specific team or another, you also need to be willing to work with those who do approach you for answers or help. I have found that hoarding evidence and keeping “secrets” does not do anyone any good. Now I am not saying release every piece of info you have, but don’t be afraid to talk to other teams if you are unsure of something. They may offer a different possibility that didn’t cross your mind. That’s how you learn, by talking to people and asking. If the person or team you are asking is trust worthy, they are not going to “run off with your evidence and take credit for it”. However be willing to do the same when one comes to you for advice as well.
Do you think it’s important to share findings with others in the paranormal community?
It depends on the situation, the findings, the reasons for sharing etc.
You run across a team that you feel gives a bad name to the field. How do you handle the situation? Do you confront them about it?
I am JRo…. I will investigate it first and then you can read about it in my blog or watch me speak about it on my youtube channel. Some even retaliate and give me cute little nicknames 😉
Do you feel it is important to do a background investigation on the location (land/building) that you’re going to investigate?
Yes I do feel it’s important to research the location. It could turn up some quick findings such as minerals in the ground, any fault lines in the area, water tables etc. All of these have the potential to debunk some activities.
