1.What is a human ghost capable of ?

2.What causes hostile hauntings?

3. How real are the paranormal reality shows?

   We are not ghost hunters.  We have been around long before the paranormal craze began, and do not participate in all the hype, and commercialism in this field. The director has been working in the field for 32 years now. We take what we do very seriously, and our main concern is helping to bring resolution to those that are being haunted and having their lives turned upside down by it. We do not run to famous haunts to look for ghosts. We do not solicit places to do investigations. You will "NOT" find ads for ghost hunts, ghost tours, or ghost hunting events at this website. The only thing we promote is education and events geared for education in this field. You will not find membership logos or badges here for fanbase memberships to TAPS,GAC, or any other TV show affiliated group. We are not and do not want to be associated with the commercial paranormal community. We take real hostile haunt cases, mostly in private residences, as we are a resolution team as much as a research team. Most of our cases are referred to us by word of mouth, or other teams and organizations.

   We do take cases at locations such as business buildings etc. even if they are not hostile haunts,  but we do not organize ghost walks or ghost hunts so please, do not send emails asking to participate in such activities with us, as we do not organize such things for the general public. We do not believe that a ghost hunt should be an avenue for entertainment or thrill seeking. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect, and that includes those ,who have passed and linger here in spirit.

   Our members come from all faiths and different cultural backgrounds. We have members who are Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Greek Orthodox, and non denominational. We also have team members that speak spanish, so if you have a language barrier please let us know in advance and we will accomadate you. Se Habla espanol? Nosotros tambien. We also have team members that speak Greek.

We do organize paranormal meetings for local groups in Florida and we do lectures and presentations for groups and centers that wish to further education in the paranormal field. If anyone wishes to have us for such an event, you can contact us here.

You can join this website simply by leaving a comment and waiting for the invitation email, that will follow. If you want to join, you simply follow the instructions in the email.

BELOW IS AN ARTICLE FOR CONSIDERATION: EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS, AS IT TELLS HOW A HAUNTING CAN GET WORSE THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS

How does a ghost become a demon?

You know there is so much hype right now about demons but in reality they are a rare find indeed. Angry, trouble making ghosts on the other hand are quite plentiful. Then there is another class of haunting that is not just a ghost and certainly not a demon. It is a haunting caused by paranormal hysteria. How does a ghost become a demon? At least in the eyes of the people being haunted? This is how...

ATTENTION

PARANORMAL TEAMS; KEEP TRACK OF THE PARANORMAL WEATHER BEFORE YOUR INVESTIGATIONS FOR BETTER RESULTS SEE THE LINK BELOW;

http://paranormalweather.com/

We try to provide up to date information on paranormal happenings in the Tampabay area, and post them here;

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WAVES

Paranormal activity waves current in local areas, are something we always try to keep tabs on to learn more about these waves of intense activity and what may be the cause of the spikes in certain areas. If an area is listed below in these announcements it is because we have received more than three reports from three separate individuals, and or have already had cases there. For example in the Anclote area listed below we have had 47 reports in the last 20 years and 20 cases in the last ten years. We now consider this to be an active area for paranormal activity and try to keep tracking and logging this information, and the time of year that it seems to spike the most.

Below are the areas we are currently very interested in and continue to monitor, in order to research these activity waves. If you live in any of these areas, and you have reports to add to these please let us know.

 Attention Holiday residents: posted Jan. 1st 2010

There have been several claims of an apparition sighted crossing the road on the side street that borders "Slim and Chubbies" bar. This apparition is described as a white male wearing a red and white windbreaker. He has long brown hair and appears solid. He comes up from the side of the road by some newspaper boxes and walks right in front of cars. He vanishes, when he gets right in front of the car. People leaving the bar have usually had a few drinks and so perhaps they could be hallucinating but, if so they are all hallucinating the same apparition in the same clothes. Odd.

   We are currently studying connections between several residential haunts in Hudson Florida. We are particularly interested  in activity in the following locations: 

Embassy Hills, Beacon woods, Moon Lake,  Seapines,Terrace drive, Bass Lake. These areas seem to have several residential haunts that may be connected, to others in each area. We are always researching to find out why. So, if  you are haunted in any of these areas, please let us know. 

Attention; EMBASSY HILLS RESIDENTS IN PORT RICHEY FLORIDA/posted 7/10/2008

If you live in the Embassy Hills sub-division in Port Richey Florida and are experiencing paranormal activity please contact us. We are working there this month with a hostile haunt and have discovered in our research some unsettling facts that may be contributing to the hauntings in the area. This applies especially to those who live on Ledgestone Lane, Stirling, and Cutty Sark drive and the area in between these streets. If you live in this area and are experiencing problems please call us directly at the contact number listed on this page, 727-938-1305.

ATTENTION; ANCLOTE RIVER AND SURROUNDING AREA RESIDENTS/Posted 8/20/2008

We are also seeking any reports of paranormal activity in:

The Anclote area between Tarpon Springs thru to New Port Richey, from Anclote boulevard to Bailey's Bluff. We are currently keeping a running log of paranormal activity in this area. It seems to be one of the most active areas for activity of all kinds. If you are having spirit activity or crypto activity and have sighted anything unusual,please let us know. This applies especially to those who live in Key Vista community, in Gulf view heights near Cemetary road, and on Anclote road near the power plant.

ALSO:

   We have had many reports also, of an apparition of a young woman, seen on Anclote road near the power plant. She is described as blond, about 20 years old and wears 80's clothing. She may appear normal or may appear very mangled and with her hair cut short on one side of her head. She usually wears a pink tube like top and jeans, and has been seen by several people over the past ten years. Again contact number is 727-938-1305.

NEW SIGHTINGS OF THIS SPIRIT/ posted January 22nd 2010

We have an update on this spirit. She has been sighted again and again over the last five weeks at a local mud hole where many people go to fourwheel. This is in the same area where she has always been sighted, but now she seems to be running around in the woods there as well. Reports have come in saying that she actually spoke to two girls there, saying that she had been raped in those woods by four men. Some men out four wheeling also saw a naked girl running through the woods that fits her description but as they approached she vanished into thin air. If you see this apparition please let us know.

ATTENTION NEW PORT RICHEY RESIDENTS/Posted 8/20/2008:

If you have seen what can only be described as a spectral black dog in the vicinty of Mike Street or Eilleen Street, or are having paranormal activity in a location near this area, please let us know. We have had many reports of this dog apparition and have investigated a lot of haunting activity in this area, and in the area west of US 19, in the communities back behind the Hooters restaurant near the bridge. If you hve experienced anything in this area, we would like to know so we can add it to our logs, in this research study, of activity spikes in the area. 727-938-1305

What are the real signs of a possible haunting?

Signs of a possible haunt are;

1. Voices in the home that have no explanation. Especially those that call out your name or the name of another in the household.

2. Electric and electronic disturbances. Lights turning off and on by themselves etc.

3. Objects moving on their own accord. Doors opening and closing, and things moving from one place to another.

4. Knocking or banging on doors, wondows,walls, floors etc. that cannot be attributed to loose floorboards, plumbing pipes, loose fascia, tree branches etc. Scratching sounds usually turn out to be rats 99 percent of the time.

5. A feeling of being chilled to the bone ,out of nowhere when the house is warm, and you walk down a hallway or into a room. If it takes twenty minutes or more to recover from the teeth chattering, shivering cold that has suddenly come upon you, you could have a ghost that you accidently walked into or through.

6. If your dog barks at something invisable or the cat stares at something and then bolts away. your pets could be seeing something in your home that you can't.

7. If you see apparitions in the home, there is a good chance that you have a ghost present. Whether or not it becomes a problem depends on the nature of the ghost and if it is active or residual. It also depends on your actions and reactions to the ghost activity, believe it or not. See "How does a ghost become a demon?" article on this home page.

8. If something touches you or physically attacks you, then you obviously have a problem and need to get someone in to check it out.

There are many kinds of hauntings. What some people might take to be a haunting, may  be nothing more than a harmless visitation by a loved one. Other times it may be a genuine haunt by a troubled or disturbed spirit trying to get attention or get a message across. Below is a list of the most common types of ghost and or spirits that we have encountered over the years. The majority of them are just human spirits of the departed. Others can be more serious and cause more problems as they are some kind of non-human interdimensional spirit. The ones listed below are the type that usually cause negative reactions and seem to be threatening to the people experiencing the activity they cause.

1. Angry former resident; This type of ghost is usually being resentful of someone in their space especially if you start redecorating.

2. Fixated Opportunist; this is a spirit who fixates on one member of the household, feeding off that person's fear and energy. Then using it to fuel it's displays of activity, much like a poltergeist.

3. The frustrated deceased friend or relative; they only want attention and maybe to communicate and when they don't get it, they try harder, thereby doing some dramatic things that cause fear to their loved ones.

4. Transient area opportunist ;This is a ghost or spirit who doesn't haunt just one house but maybe several in a given area, getting his kicks by mischievous annoyances and thrives on the reaction and the energy it provides.

5. Sustained, artificial thought form entity: This is an artificial intelligence that was created by the phantasms of a living person and has been raised up to have a seemingly real life of it's own by being fed energy by the creator and those who experience it in the surroundings. And yes it can happen and does in many cases.

6. Malevolent predatory entity; This is a truly bad spirit who preys on children, people in a weak emotional state or people who are open and susceptible because they are sensitive. This is bad news, for all concerned.

7. Mischievous elemental spirit or human show off ghost: This is the ghost that really does no actual harm but likes to make big shows of activity for the sheer kick of it all.

8. Unknown interdimensional spirit, not a deceased human ghost at all...These are usually very strong and often appear as solid black shadows. They are not shy, do not disappear upon being noticed, but usually are just watchers, rather than the spirits that haunt and make noise, they just observe, sometimes too close for comfort. These are what people sometimes refer to as a "Shadow Man."

Notice I have not used the words, demon, or poltergeist. This is because A.] Any ghost can be a noisy ghost, without children or a young person present to create activity, as far as poltergeists go. B.] We do not even know if there are demons, this is a  term from  religious dogma. The word demon came from the Greek word Daemon, which referred to any spirit outside of the human range including angels. Later the word was associated with evil  spirits associated with evil or the devil himself. I have never seen one that I know of, and although I have heard of some extreme cases, no one knows for sure at this point. Why assume the worst possibility, in assuming that something is a demon? Paranoia will destroy ya!

 OK,   now that we have identified the usual culprits for a negative haunt, how do we put a stop to it?

This is a complex question. We have to consider many things before we can proceed to a solution. Most haunting require just that ,a "Solution" not an excorcism or a banishing. As a rule if a ghost is trying to communicate, whether it be in a negative or positive way, it wants to get a message across or is unhappy about some unresolved issue. I have found that most of the time communication with the spirit and learning as much as you can about whatever that issue may be ,can be very helpful in resolving the haunt. You can mediate with the living and you can mediate with the living in the next world as well, a lot of the time. Now when it comes to getting rid of the ghost, that is another matter'

   You see stories on TV from true haunt cases ,where the clergy fails to get rid of the ghost with a house blessing or a banishing prayer. This happens more than you know. Why? Because first of all there is a fine line between what is truly evil and what is just an upset spirit. Most banishing rituals center on ridding evil spirits. An angry or troubled ghost may not be in that category, so they fly right under the wire of that banishing. Second of course is the possibility that we, are living incarnates on this plane have no control over spirits on the next, as we do not in reality, really know that they are lost, or trapped or need to go to any other place but where they are. This is an assumption we make born of our religious beliefs. Now we come to the third possibility, which is the truly evil ghost or spirit that we do indeed need to try and banish for our own safety. There are many ways to attempt this and the bare truth is..."Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't"

    When they don't you may be faced with no other choice but to move from the premises. Even then if the spirit is attached to you or someone else in the home and not the home itself, the problem can go with you. I know this is not encouraging but I believe in being truthful with people. A spirit attachment is very hard to get rid of, but it can be done eventually, with persistence and an open mind to new solutions to try. Some people, especially children and very lonely people actually form a sort of bond with a spirit and become "ghost anchors" unknowingly tethering the spirit to them. The scenarios are endless and this field is in it's infancy.

    We have been sucessful with stopping bad activity and getting many spirits to move on, but there are others that we could not budge. I would say for every ten you can get rid of there is one that sticks like glue, or just moves on to haunting the guy next door to the previous haunt location. Some haunt several homes on the same street. Some follow us home and then we have to deal with them. We have experienced all of these situations over the years.

People will tell you that white candles deter a ghost from coming around.   False, ghosts love candles, period!

They say that burning sage will get rid of a ghost, and althought it can help to dispell negative energy from the area, it does not stop a ghost hellbent on haunting you. So this depends on the type of spirit and it's strength in the first place. Smudging with the proper banishment prayers do a lot more good, when done by an experienced cleanser.

Hanging rosary beads up everywhere.   I have never seen them stop a ghost, I have one in my home on the wall and I have a resident ghost in my home as well.  Same applies for crucifixes and other religious artifacts.

Salting the house? The only thing salt appears to be able to do, is act as a neutralizer to a ghost's energy. For example if you put salt in a bowl and place a statue in the bowl, the ghost can not move that statue anymore. The salt has some chemical property that prevents the ghost's energy from passing through it. However, when you put it on the floor, what is to stop the ghost from floating over it? Seriously! Pouring it around your home might trap the ghost inside if it really stops a spirit from advancing past it, right? We do not advise this as a viable remedy at all.

Olive oil on the door and window sills?  Well I have not seen it work yet.

Certain symbols when traced in ashes on the doors and on the thresholds do seem to work half of the time. These are, the cross, the six point star in a circle, and the outward spiral. But they too fail here and there. They are usually more effective to ward off spirits that have not entered yet. They may provide a barrier of sorts to certain areas. The best ashes to use are sage ashes and remember they wear away quickly unless they are rubbed into raw wood, such as on wooden stairs or a wood floor, and sprayed with a sealer of some kind.

One thing I have noticed is spirits seem to hate flashbulbs and camera flashes. However if the spirit is nasty enough he or she may get really mad about your flashing the lights at them and take revenge later on, so this is a temporary deterrent at best.

The best defense against spiritual energy is spiritual energy, your own energy. The best way to harness your energy is to fight the fear factor. Fear gives a ghost high octane fuel to use to produce even more intimidating activity. The more scared you are the more the ghost retains the upper hand in the situation. It is much like the school bully when you were a kid. The more he knows you fear him, the more he will try to push you around.

In the above scenario, "Get the Hell out of the house!" Get someone with experience to come in and try to alleviate the situation. In certain cases they may require your presence later on for whatever measures they decide to try and take to solve the problem, but until then stay safe! Where children are involved in this type of scenario, this advice goes triple for them. Get them to a safer place until you can resolve the situation. Spirits prey on children and it leaves the children with lasting traumas. Believe me as I was one of those children once.

You would not keep your kids around a vicious or unpredictable dog would you? Or in a place with a child molester, or around a person who is mentally ill and unpredicatable as to their actions, so why keep them in a place with a hostile spirit? What you can't see can hurt them in many ways.

  For many years there have been stories of some kind of entity that comes in the night and terrorizes people. Some call it "The Old Hag" syndrome but I do not think that quite covers it. This experience tends to vary from person to person. Some people do claim to see an old hag sitting on their chest. Others claim it is a black form, and others see nothing but feel as if  something or someone climbs onto the bed and holds them down , and they can't move, scream or sometimes even breathe during this experience. It usually lasts for a few seconds that seem like forever and leaves the person very shaken up or cold when it is over. Now I have heard stories from folks who say they were asleep and were woken up by it, others who say they were awake and still others who say they were in the in between stages of sleep and wakefullness. Some of these events are brought on by sleep paralysis, a condition that is normal and that the body causes to keep us from getting up and acting out our dreams. Not all of these events can be attributed to sleep paralysis however.

   Everyone agress on one thing...something climbed onto the bed and accosted them. Strangely enough the majority of what I call "night Crusher" incidents have occured in a home where there was already a certain amount of paranormal activity of other kinds, that would point to the possibility of a ghost being in the home. Scientists attribute this experience to a waking dream and /or sleep paralysis, which makes the person unable to move or scream. Most of the people who have had this experience say they were laying on their backs. I find this curious as on one's back is also the same position in which a person is most likely to trance out, mediatate or attempt to astral travel. Is it possible ,that these folks went down to some altered state that allowed contact with this entity? This is often a hypnogogic state which often settles in right before we fall asleep or when we first start to awaken. How many people claim they were almost aslepp when they heard someone call their name? Is this also a coincidence? Now I have never experienced this night crushing phenomenon,  thank goodness and do not hope to. I sleep on my side not my back.

    I have heard night crusher stories from all kinds of people from all walks of life over the years.  And in one of my cases,  four different people were night crushed in the home, some of them guests who knew nothing about the experiences of the residents there. Now can this case be chalked up to sleep paralysis? Mass hallucination?  I find it difficult to accept that in cases like the one I just mentioned that this strange experience can be dismissed as coincidence. One of the crusher victims in this particular home was a 235 pound man who was wide awake lying in the bed when it happened. It would take a lot of power to hold down that man, wouldn't you think? We later discovered that the ghost in the home was a relative who lived there for a long time and she just wanted to be close to her family members again, scaring the living daylights out of them in the process. So now what? What deos this tell us about the night crusher events? Maybe not all are intentionally malevolent or predatory after all.

   There was another case of a teenage boy who was accosted by a similar crushing entity in the early morning in a new home that his family had just moved into. He managed to fight it off before it could really get a grip and said it never happened again. People with bad hearts are the ones who suffer the worst with a night crusher experience. I had one case where the victim of this repeated attack had a bad heart and actually went to stay somewhere else until the activity was reduced in the home.

   We are interested in hearing about night crusher experiences that have a different aspect from any of the usual ones listed above, so if you have experienced something of this nature with some different elements please send us an email and tell us about it.

Do you live in a haunted zone? The maps below show the most haunted areas in Pinellas and Pasco counties. There can be activity in other areas, but these have shown to be notorious for paranormal activity, judging from what we have seen over the past 20 years or so. The Anclote area in Holiday and the area along the Hudson, Port Richey line seem to be very active, as is Hudson and Spring Hill. Dade city is another very active city for paranormal activity.

See the areas highlighted in purple below, for Pasco county.
