News & Notes on Independence Day!

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having an awesome , safe and fun 4th with family and friends! I wanted to take a moment to just fill everyone in on what we’ve been up to last few weeks… We’ve been busy finalizing some cases, getting some info for possible ones upcoming and more importantly organizing ourselves for what’s next!

I’m sure your asking ‘what’s next?’ – I’m here to tell ya one of things is a para expo/event/conference deal. We hope to have details in the next few months for what we have in mind for next year! We also by the time of the expo hope to have some gear for sell custom made gear (IR lights; EM Pumps; and few IR light variations that are in prototype stage now!) So that’s two things we’ve been up to…

What else? Well we also working on some ways to “improve” the use of pendulums and dowsing rods for a more controlled way to use them…. Details as well coming on that as we finish our designs. We enjoy trying new things in the para field/hobby/whatever you wanna call it, new ideas whether they work or not are the key to finding what does work. My advice to groups starting out is be open to change, change in how you do an invest, what you use, what constitutes evidence – be open to changing and reevaluating of all things paranormal! Don’t be afraid to remove EVP’s or picture or video evidence that you know what it is, you will get respect for sticking up to the truth your seeking…

Peace,

Update: 6-16-2012

Hello everyone after talking and really digging into alot the last few weeks about digital photography and how settings can cause false positives I came to the conclusion that the picture from our private case on 7-17-2010 seen below is NOT paranormal, though it is very interesting to look at, because looking deeper into the photo’s meta data that tells us if the flash was used, iso speed, F-stop settings, etc. Tells us that the photo is an extreme light source movement blur caused by a shaky hand and camera settings at time of picture being snapped – we have since changed our investigative guidelines to have all pictures from this point on be shot from on a tripod and have moved this picture to our 50/50 section.

We have never been ones to stop learning and now that we know what caused this we moved its designation. While we continue our journey and learn whats really out their we have no problem sharing images, video & audio for peer review. We believe in sharing knowledge and ideas. We hope you continue on this journey with us! We are proud to be part of the paranormal community and are pleased that we have done a few things first – as well as have the ability to continue to grow as investigators and more importantly people! Thank you all for your help and support. We continue on for that search for the Holy Grail of paranormal research… whatever that is 🙂 The only way we will advance the field is by sharing not just what we have or think we captured but by sharing the knowledge that makes it that…. Take care everyone.

Peace,
Cedric

www.paranomaldictionary.com

I have created a page (www.paranormaldictionary.com) with a single goal, to break down walls in the paranormal community, to share experiences, places, and the people/history of paranormal.

All information on this site should be fact based, not advertising, I’m not saying advertising is evil, but it doesn’t belong here.

www.paranormaldictionary.com is something special, its the only free and open place on the web, a library for the paranormal.

Here you can meet groups and interact in ways you never knew possible. See who else investigated the same place, maybe share notes build a better more unified foundation.
When his site was founded it could easily have been made with with advertising banners all over the place, like some of the others that have popped up since our launch, but I decided to do something different.

I’ve worked hard since becoming part of the paranormal community to work with anyone and everyone in it. Share the knowledge I’ve learned, as well as listen to those who been doing it longer then me.

I know no one gets rich in the paranormal field, less then 1% in reality, it costs a lot to run a group or do investigations, but if everyone reading this donated $20, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year. I know not everyone can or will donate. And that is ok with me.

Please consider making a donation you can help to protect and sustain this idea.

State of the Watchmen – 2011

2011 started off on a high note, coming back from our Gettysburg trip in December in which we were the FIRST to do do DUAL investigations at Jennie Wade House Museum & Solider’s Museum/Orphanage! Thats both places in the same night same time, we did it for nights in a row! A big thank you to our Friends Chris and Kendra from Spirit Realm Investigation who helped fill out our numbers. This was just the first of many interesting things for us. We spoke at Delaware Valley College to students in March about the paranormal, which was awesome and I hope we are invited back again! We attended our first expo in June at the Historic Bolton Mansion, in levittown. July brought a tandem investigation with NJSPR. In August Bekah Liz decided to leave the group and we wish her the best in her future paranormal plans, she is now over at Parahistory. We welcomed Mandi Simone in September to our family as our new researcher. October has been jam packed with changes & Events! We welcomed officially a long time friend and awesome person Christina Smith to our ranks. We attended our 2nd ever Expo at the historic Fort Mifflin, in Philadelphia. Our first local event we helped promote and had a table at was the Tylersport Firehouse Haunted Hayride, which was a blast! We also had our first public meet and greet at the OBR Hotel (Old bethlem Road Hotel) in Quakertown & Scheduled our FIRST public reveal of our findings of the OBR Hotel for sometime in 2012!! Should be a very fun filled night! 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.

All in all we the Midnight Watchmen are growing towards more then just ghost hunters, we are explorers of the unknown and as such I expect 2012 to really be an interesting year. We plan on having our first DVD of cases available for sale early in the first quarter of 2012! In the works is a public ghost hunt at a historic tavern and the year will also be filled with joint cases with other groups, a few new members and more importantly we’ll be shedding some light onto the dark… Knowledge and helping people is the core of our “business/hobby/field”. And That is what we do best!

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
