Paranormal Reality Show Raptor
Unrelated Thought of the Day…

Here is the 2013 list of terms searched for on the site or asked to us via the site… here is a list  which we attempt to answer those questions & yes everyone of these was asked to us or typed in our search box more then a few times….

  1. Same as last year what (was/is) the Black Moon Manor’s Address?
    1. Black Moon Manor was located at 5575 West 300 North Buck Creek Township, Greenfield, Indiana.
  2. Paranormal Journeys Expo
    1. No surprise here, as we ran our first ever Paranormal Expo last year with www.paranormaldictionary.com! For information a video of last years expo & for more info on 2014 HERE.
  3. Ark of the Covenant
    1. After a Cannon Shots piece by Jon Bolton, we were sent a link by a fan as they both are interesting reads! To read our piece click HERE and the readers send in link HERE.
  4. Eastern State Penitentiary
    1. Possibly one if not the most famous prison in the country for not just the History but the Paranormal! We investigated it in August 2008.
  5. midnightwatchman.com?
    1. You’re here… thank you! 😀
  6. Oak Island, Nova Scotia

  7. Gettysburg, PA
    1. Orphanage – We investigated many times and our mentioned on a few tours.
    2. Jennie Wade House – Our first official investigation was here as we’ve investigated many times and our mentioned on the tours.
  8. Also without naming any names out of respect, quite a few search terms have come up looking for nude pictures of some of the lovely ladies of paranormal tv shows – folks you won’t find that here. So stop searching our site for them!! We investigate the paranormal and hopefully get people thinking about what could really be out there!

State of the Watchmen – 2013

Sometimes as I write these State of the Watchmen year reviews, It’s hard to pinpoint where to start. Its been a wild year, to say the least but here we go! We successfully ran Paranormal Journeys Expo in September – a years worth of work paying off big time with www.paranormaldictionary.com‘s help! (Which by the way also had a milestone in 2013, the site reached over a MILLION views!) As for us we’ve added a few new trainee’s/members Torry Good, Korey McClellan & Christa Nesbitt. We’ve Investigated a few more historic places, a few private homes and in my eyes we took a step up in the paranormal community with not just talking the talk of working with teams, but showing it! We also hosted our first Public Ghost hunt at Boehm’s Church in Blue Bell, PA – which was a blast and hopefully the beginning of many more! 😉  Paranormal Journeys brought together so many different type of groups, not just ages of people/group, but skills, ways of thinking. Everyone learned something and that leads us to:

2014 –  What’s Next? Well Paranormal Journeys will be held at historic Boehm’s Church in Blue Bell, PA on Sept 20th, 10am to 6pm. Oh and we will be having a public investigation the night before with special guests leading it. 😉 Our annual Gettysburg trip is coming up in January.  There is some talk of expansion out that way as well, but nothing final… We will be doing movie nights in and around Bucks County to help not just promote us, but help some good causes along the way.  Also we are in process of setting up some Public Ghost Hunts to help a few historic locations, so keep an eye out for news on that.

As I will repeat from last year: in closing I’d like to thank my team from our current members to the ones who are no longer with us, as all of you have had an influence on what the Midnight Watchmen have become and will be tomorrow.  Their are not words for me to express my joy and happiness in doing what we do, for me it was a dream since I was child to be a “ghostbuster”, this the next best thing to that, only thing we’re missing is an Ecto-1, but if that’s all we’re missing that ain’t too bad….

Peace,
Cedric

State of the Watchmen – 2012

2012 – Where do I begin? We had many highs and lows as a team. We still working on releasing our DVD’s of case files, which we hoped to have out earlier in the year, was derailed by some issues on my end.  Case wise may have been quiet but as we moved forward on some events and client help it was worth it.   We attend the para-xpo in NJ and as well welcomed old friends back into the fold, we’ve added a new members Trevor Gibson  who will work on tech & Johanna to help with research!  The Tylersport Haunted Hayride was a blast! Great event to network with the community!

So now that we all have survived 2012, I ask myself whats next?  We’ve met some amazing teams, people, been at some amazing events/places & had some interesting cases. We still are hard at work on making some public events/hunts as well as trying to just get our foot in the doors at some places.  I’m very calm and collected when I proclaim 2013 will be the best year ever for the Watchmen, I have no doubts about that at all!

We’ve also been busy laying the ground work for Paranormal Journeys Expo which is presented by Midnight Watchmen & www.paranormaldictionary.com, which will take place on September 21st & 22nd 10am to 6pm next year 2013!  Returning to Delaware Valley College was a fun experience, students and staff always keep us on our toes. We also have a few  Open Positions available, Video person (2), Photographer, Researcher (2), and a marketing person to help with logo designs/other marketed related things.

As was said last year and again in closing I’d like to thank my team from our current members to the ones who are no longer with us, as all of you have had an influence on what the Midnight Watchmen have become and will be tomorrow.  Their are not words for me to express my joy and happiness in doing what we do, for me it was a dream since I was child to be a “ghostbuster”, this the next best thing to that, only thing we’re missing is an Ecto-1, but if that’s all we’re missing that ain’t too bad….
