Advice for future or would be ghosthunters……..
Quite often people ask me for adviceabout getting into the paranormal field. By this they mean “Ghost hunting.”Everyone wants to be a ghost hunter. There are thousands of teams popping upall over the country, since the TAPS show hit the air a few years back. Thereality shows are entertaining for someI guess, even though they never seem to pack any real thrills. They alsoprovide a booming fad industry for the paracelebrities, and the network thatsponsors them. But what are they really doing to further progress in thisfield? Have they gotten any real irrefutable proof of anything? Do they poseany heavy or spiritual questions to spirits? Do they offer any advancement tothe study of spirit return? Has anythingnew been introduced other than new tech equipment for people to go out and buyto be like the guys on the show? Theysometimes get an evp here or there, and some fuzzy shadows on tape. Anythingabove that is suspect to television magic, to increase ratings.
Dabbling in the paranormal is not as yousee on TV. All the tech equipment and a printed T shirt, does not get youanywhere with the spirit world, in fact it has the opposite effect. You willeither be ignored or be messed with by some not so friendly spirits, out tomake a fool of you, and who could blame them? Most of the spirit entities thatwe call ghosts are people that have passed into the next world. If there is anext world then there obviously has to be a God. Someone or something gave usimmortal spirit then. Haunting a spirit in that sense, is a very audacious andeven sacrilegious thing to do. I do not even like the term “ghosthunter” forthis reason. I am not now, nor have Iever been a ghosthunter. I am a haunts resolutionist. I do not go looking forghosts to harass, in order to get some note worthy piece of evidence. I go outto help the haunted and the spirits that are doing the haunting, as theyusually always have a reason. If I get some astounding evidence along the way,I share it with others. How you fare in seeking to learn about spirit dependslargely on your agenda. I can get 20 ormore evps on a case, most of the time. This is because the spirits know why Iam there and that I am not some curious, ghost hunter, out for fame and fortuneor some entertainment. I do not have cameras trailing me around for somefrivolous TV show, and am not dressed up like some member of a swat team. Istarted this 31 years ago for a higher calling, than making a name for myselfor getting on TV. I do not give a damn about notoriety or making the front pageof the paper. I care about people, living and deceased and the things I canlearn in my journey.
When I got into this field, there were noparacelebrities, in fact few people even worked in the field at all. There was no rivalry or ill will among thosethat did work in the field. We all had pretty much the same idea and the samegoals. We had a healthy respect forspirit and for each other. There was no money to be made with paid ghost hunts,or paracelebrity events. We had no desire for these things, as they are shallowendeavors. Now, the ghost hunting crazehas reached ridiculous proportions. There are more ghost hunters than there are ghosts these days. They arehitting the cemeteries and old buildings in droves, like invading stormtroopers, with their cameras, their supposed high tech equipment and disturbingwhat were formerly the peaceful places for spirits to swell in the realm ofdark and quiet. Respect for the dead has become a thing of the past. Would beteen ghost hunters are partying at cemeteries and littering and making a messwith liquor bottles, beer cans, and other trash. Ghost hunters provoke spiritswhen they do not get the response they seek. This is another bad idea. Just asin life, they will eventually pick the wrong spirit and then the realities ofthe dangers of the paranormal become apparent.
Ask yourself why…you want to become a “ghosthunter”. Is it to emulateyour hero on TV. They are not bravesouls, they are making a television show with an entire production crew in tow,most of the time. They are second rate actors who get paid to make the show foryou to watch. They go out and harass and even try to bully the spirit world,for money and personal fame. Is this your idea of a hero? Do you think ghosthunting is cool? Fun? Do you think it makes you unique? NOT ANYMORE! Everyoneand their brother have jumped on the fad, like sheep following the trend. Ifyou want to get into the field to help people, or find some real spiritualproof to help people believe in the afterlife, and find their way back to aspiritual mind set, which is rare these days…then you might be OK. If you havewhat it takes to actually help people who are having problems with bad spirits,than have at it. Do you even know what that is? Do you think some course indemonology, or some ghost hunter 101 certificate gives you the ability to gointo battle with a spirit? If you do then you are buying into the craze and allthe hype it serves up to part you with your money, for these courses. In order to have any chance of winning theday against a spirit that is wreaking havoc, you have to have personal,unshakeable, spiritual faith and energy. It does not come from any specific type ofreligious belief, so don’t misunderstand and think I am bible thumping here.You can be very religious and still have deep, down, fear and doubt. You haveto develop a level of awareness that cannot be taught in any course on theinternet or otherwise. Most of all youhave to be solid in your calling, to work in the field for the best possiblereasons. Any other agenda, will just lead you into trouble. You will eventuallyget what you ask for, and it may not be what you wanted at all. I offer you thefamous quote…”As you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you and onewho “hunts” the monsters, becomes a monster too.” Don’t become a “Ghosthunter.”Don’t be a sheep, as you know the traditional place where sheep end up. Thereis surely some bad ghost out there who would love to have you for dinner. Trustme, I have met quite a dew, over the years. I even have an evp that says “Igotta eat!” One of my team members had a really harrowing experienceimmediately after that.
Now you can hate me, and say I am a selfrighteous, hypocrite because I do something, that I tell others not to getinvolved in. I just will not encourage anyone, to go out and open doors thatthey can’t close, that may hurt not only them, but others in the process. Theghost hunting craze is causing more and more hostile haunting, and in the endwill come to no good whatsoever. The realm of spirit is God’s world, and thatworld cannot be measured with our gadgets, in our frivolous curiosity, or ourdesire to be “cool.” In that world we are way out of our league, my friends. Remember in the progression of evolution,every organism from the mineral to the animal to the human is a constantprogression to a more sentient and powerful life form. What makes you think thenext life does not follow that same rule. When we die, we move a step up on the scale, to a higher life form. Thatconsidered, then it makes sense to assume, that we are inferior to those thatwe choose to hunt as a ghost hunter. You had better have some real friends inthe higher realms to protect you when you get into trouble, as with spiritsfrom the next world you are outclassed. I hope that some people think aboutwhat I have written here and think seriously about the hobby of “ghosthunting.”
