Past Investigations/Beyond Parazine would like to state that articles within this magazine are the views of the contributors and not necessarily ours.

A WORD FROM PAST INVESTIGATIONS Investigating the paranormal world is a fascinating job, throughout our years investigating we have come across a huge variety of approaches to an investigation, not only in the equipment used but even down to what people like to be called.

Many, probably most like to be called paranormal investigators or paranormal researchers, we have noticed there seems to be a lot who are against being labelled as ghost hunters, why? We don’t know.

We ourselves do not mind being labelled as ghost hunters after all that is basically what we are doing when investigating, agreed when at a location we do research things, do experiments etc etc but when it is all said and done we are hunting for proof of the spirit world, ghost hunting.

Of course this is just our humble opinion and everyone has their own, which is part of what makes this field so diverse and interesting. The same goes for videos and photographs, what one person sees as a fantastic catch and believes may be a ghost others see it as something they feel they can explain away.

Throughout this magazine you will see numerous photographs sent by many teams and individuals from around the world, it is not our place to judge them as definitely paranormal or not, we receive many messages from teams on our Facebook page telling us they are afraid of posting any photographs or videos due to being ridiculed and abused by other paranormal investigators, we find this unacceptable and will not put up any such abuse coming from anything sent to us for publication here.

We hope this magazine will be enjoyed by many people, not just investigators but anyone with an interest in the paranormal world, if you are interested in having any photographs or articles included then please feel free to email them to us at beyondparazine@hotmail.com.

Are We Over Equipped?

As paranormal investigators we all know the feeling, getting everything charged up before an investigation, packing everything away into cases, could it be the modern day investigator just has too much equipment?

How much is enough and how much is too much, we all make our own decisions on what we like to use and take on an investigation but are we taking too many gadgets that all do the same job? Take the good old EMF meters as an example, there is dozens of different designs on the market all claiming to be the best and detect some different energy field to the last one, are these claims to be believed or is it just a sales pitch?

The more equipment we take to a location the more time we are spending unpacking, setting up running cables etc and then breaking it all down and packing it again the less time we are actually spending investigating which also brings about the fact of the more cameras, digital voice recorders, cctv systems we use the more footage there will be to analyse afterwards.

Its as though every week a new piece of equipment becomes available, improved from the previous model so it becomes the must have item for the serious investigator, but is it really any better?

Many teams seem to be starting to ‘go back to basics’ recently, is going backwards really the way forwards, do we only really need a good night vision camcorder, digital voice recorder, emf meter and a still camera?

Who knows what is the best way to investigate and what is the best equipment to have?

Every team and each person has their own way of conducting an investigation and it is all down to personal preferences, are many of the gadgets we use today so scientific in the way they work that most of us don’t really know how to use them correctly?

Could it possibly be a bit daunting for private clients when investigators turn up at their house with huge cases of equipment full of weird gadgets that beep, flash lights and all manner of things when its possible they expected you to turn up with a camera and some flour?

One vital piece that we really cannot do this work without is ourselves, our senses, our emotions, our feelings we get at a location, these are worth much much more than any piece of electronic wizardry we may be able to buy. As part of a ‘back to basics’ approach we perhaps need to rely on what our senses are telling us more than what our equipment is.

GROWING UP IN A HAUNTED HOUSE A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER

The first recollection I had would have been just before my teens.

I remember my parents burning some board game in the back garden, but this was no monopoly, it was the Ouija.

My Dad worked and my Mum’s job was a housewife, usual for the period I grew up in.

The first time I remember anything ‘strange’ happening was after mum had done some ironing. I remember seeing it on the edge of their bed, nothing unusual in that. What happened next was not usual at all.

“Have you moved that ironing?” my Mum asked “no” I replied, I’m still not sure to this day if she thought it was one of us kids messing around.

After a search I think my Mum must have just thought it will turn up, and it did. A week or so later my mum found it at the bottom of one of the wardrobes, and no it definitely was not a childish prank!

I am not sure in the time gap between the happenings, I was too busy with my music and other teenage things. The second thing I remember was one night, we were all asleep when the landing light came on, on its own.

My Mum got up and turned it off, and we went back to sleep.

We had the typical pictures falling off walls, which unless your there at the time, its hard to say it was paranormal. One of the more frightening times for me was the day when my younger brother and me were in on our own.

We had bunk beds at the time, and our bedroom was next to the bathroom. I had gone up stairs to the toilet, and as I was stood I heard a loud bang come from our bedroom, it sounded as though someone had jumped from the top bunk. I just remember shouting for my brother to get up stairs! I was literally frozen to the spot.

It was after this that I really didn’t like being in the house on my own.

I used to come home at dinner time and walking into an empty house was no easy task, I did not like to walk about to much, it was like if I sit still they might not see me.

My Dad was a spiritual man, so much as spirits visited him, and that didn’t bother him at all. My dads friends Pete and John, father and son, were very much into the paranormal, John had cleared many a haunted location.

John came to our house one afternoon, my parents had blamed the things that were happening on the Ouija board. John had come to do a ‘clearing’, draw a line around the house and remove whatever was there.

After things were completed I remember my dad saying to my Mum, “whatever it was went out the house, circled and came back in on the landing” and it wasn’t a good spirit either.

My Mum used to say that whenever she was in the kitchen she always felt as though there was someone in the doorway staring at her.

Just writing this has taken me right back there, and believe me it’s not a nice feeling.

My Uncle, who lived in Mapperley, was also going through a lot of bad things at his house. The more that things escalated at his, the worse things got at ours.

It began to feel ‘dark’ and one night we had a real bad smell of rotten eggs, my Mum explained it as being connected to what was happening in Mapperley. As you can imagine it was very frightening.

On one occasion my Uncle phoned us in a panic, saying he and my Aunty were stood outside and wouldn’t go back in as ‘they’ were there. We jumped in the car and drove from Long Eaton to help my Uncle. When we pulled up I could feel the energy from across the road, it was like a feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I felt really sick. Us kids didn’t go in, we were sent to my Nanas.

Growing up with this made me block everything out, I just didn’t want to feel scared like I had.

As things moved on, and my Dad and Pete tried to help my Uncle, my Aunty Joy, who was my Mums sister, came round our house one night to talk about what was going off with my Uncle. I was in the front room, my brother was a sleep on the sofa, and the adults were sat around the table in the dining room.

I remember very clearly, as they talked about removing the spirits from my Uncles house there was a humming noise, it started quiet and grew louder, then there was a big flash of white light over the table. I think everyone was in shock, my Mum was saying “that’s because we were talking about Kens” It was then I heard 2 footsteps coming down the stairs, it seemed to be in slow motion and I remember thinking if we’re all downstairs and there’s nobody upstairs who’s that coming down??

It sent me into a panic, I started crying and shouting, my Mum put her arms around me and my Dad went to take a look. That night I was in bed. barely able to look over the sheets. I heard my Mum asking my Dad “has it gone?” to which my Dad replied “no, its still here”, not what I wanted to hear.

My Dad and Pete went round to my Uncles house one night when they were out. My Dad said that when they walked in they saw a suitcase at the bottom of the stairs, they walked around the house and then my Dad said “it’s time to go” They left the house and my Dad got in the car and started driving away, he said he looked in his mirror and there was a young woman sat in the back.

After a few miles he looked again and she was gone.

In 1985 we sold the house, and right up to the day we left there was always something in there, and we have wondered if the new owners had anything happen.

I have lived in many properties since then and there always seems to be things going off, people have often said to me that something follows me around.

I have never really had any direct experiences, in as much as I have never seen or heard anything, but little things do happen, and sometimes I think is it the spirit from our old house?

As I have chosen to investigate the paranormal it surprises me that it doesn’t scare me, but I can only put it down to the fact that I am so busy setting up the equipment that I don’t have time to get scared!

Too much Information can be a bad thing...

Paranormal investigators inevitably take members of the public on investigations, information about the specifics of the site is a key element in any initial brief that we give to them. However, what we say and how we say it, can and does, in some way affect the outcome of the investigation.

How? Let me give you an example of a fairly innocuous generic briefing:

“Hello and welcome to this very active site, we’ve conducted many investigations here over the years and most people get some very good evidence, everything from video to A1 EVPs, you won’t be disappointed but what we will say is – Don’t be scared!”

That statement appears to be innocent enough..... Or is it?

The simple answer is; NO it isn’t innocent. It’s a loaded statement that is biased towards there being paranormal activity on the site.

If we break it down we can see why this is the case: Before they even get to the site the guests will already have an element of expectation and belief that the site they are visiting is haunted. They are then informed that “....most people get some very good evidence....” Do they really want to be in the minority of people who don’t experience something?

This expectation is then reinforced by an experienced investigator with expert insight that it’s an active site – “...many investigations over the years... you won’t be disappointed... Don’t be scared....” That final point is worth extra note because the human brain cannot process negative information; we have to think about the thing not to be scared of, in order not to think about it! They’ve even been told what type of evidence they can expect to find “...video and A1 EVPs...” The site has definitely been hyped up, and this is all done without any back story or specific details on the site and more than likely, quite innocently.

It’s impossible for us as to ignore aspects of human physiology and psychology when investigating, the majority of people are unaware that the way in which a simple greeting to a group can influence the outcome of an investigation; the subtle nuances of the non verbal communication, the tone and not just what is being said can all play a part in influencing a guest, we may not do it deliberately, but we do it nonetheless.

I hope this short article has given you food for thought, I hope its raised questions and I certainly hope it’s given you a small insight into how too much information, deliberate or not, can be a bad thing.

Take care, be safe and above all, happy hunting.

The image on the left was Captured by the team during Their investigation.

The image on the right is Taken from the young mans headstone

HERE IS THIS MONTHS INVESTIGATION REPORT KINDLY SUBMITTED BY TRUTHSEARCHERS_UK BASED IN SUSSEX, ENGLAND. Investigation Report, Yesterdays World, Battle The team have been to Yesterdays World many times over the years and must say we have always had a lot of unexplained activity.

When the team were asked to do a charity event for Tiny footprints to Heaven one location we decided to use was Yesterdays World. Once all the guests were in we headed off for a medium walk round.

Medium walk Round Our first area on the walk round was the landing on the first floor. Mario started to tune into the building, informing us of a lady he was sensing. At the same time a guest started to feel very sick and unwell and was taken out.

There were also growls heard by many of the guests in the corridors. There was a lot of k2 activity in the building and a very strong smell of marijuana which kept disappearing then returning. Many of the guests had the feeling of being touched on the arms and legs.

Vigil area 1: Front Building

Group 1 Attic

As the evening is all about the guests, as a group we decided to conduct a sĂŠance which proved to be quite active. All of the team were sat on the floor apart from our team member Joy, who was sat in the corridor just outside.

The majority of guests witnessed a figure move across the room and at the same time the window appeared to be obstructed by something or someone before reappearing again. Below is a list of other observations made by guests.

Male and female presence felt ( names were recorded but we do not make them public knowledge) 4 guests started to get pain in their head as another guest felt a presence of a man hanging in the corridor A nanny ( childminder) was also felt ( Again name has been recorded) Group 1 Sweet Shop We decided to move onto our second vigil area, the sweet shop located on the first floor. As we commenced our sÊance multiple K2 activity was observed within the room. One of the female guests mentioned a gentlemen’s name that she was sensing, a growl was heard by a majority of those present. Our celebrity guest Paul Gannon, who was wearing hearing enhancers on the other side of the room started to hear some taps coming from the adjoining room.

A number of guests also started to complain about pains in their knees Cold spots were also felt within the room by numerous people. Temperature was tested with a laser thermometer which registered a difference of 5 degrees.

Numerous aromas were smelt by numerous guests A guest picked up a name which was verified by our team historian / genealogist

Vigil Area 2 Back Building Due to the size of the group, the decision was made to divide them into 2 smaller groups 1st group ground floor 2nd group royal rooms.

Royal Room Footsteps were heard The team selected table tipping as their form of experiment and upon calling out the table to started rocking before finally going onto one leg and rotating 360 degrees One of the guests struggled to speak coherently struggled Ladies name came up on the ovilous ( which has come up on previous investigations ) Knocking was heard A female guest sensed a 16th century lady

Ground Floor The vigil area was by the old pub front and telephone box Taps and bangs were heard on the stairs A loud bang came from telephone box area while it was being discussed Bell ring from telephone box heard by more than one guest Mario our medium, decided to do a visualisation experiment with a small group. He asked them all what they were seeing and all seemed to see an old lady with curly hair with a stern expression.

Free Time During free time everybody has the choice to conduct experiments themselves. Jim, Joy and Kev accompanied some of the guests to the ground floor streets area. We stood by the staircase and proceeded with a séance experiment we were hearing taps and bangs in response to Jim’s voice which seemed to be concentrated by the red door in this area. Jim reported feeling very hot one of the guests took a temperature reading with a laser thermometer and took a reading of 22 degrees where Jim was standing.

The reading within the rest of the room was 18 degrees (no heater observed) she preceded a more detailed recording. Jim’s legs recorded a temperature of 24 degrees, his chest was 32 degrees and his head was 18 degrees.

An observation was made that the padlock on the red door had started to swing in response to Jim’s voice. At this point numerous guests sensed a young girl of approx 8 years of age. Others guests experimented with calling out but no movement were seen on the padlock. It only seemed to move in response to Jim’s voice.

Conclusion After reviewing certain evidence we have found some interesting photographs taken throughout the evening. Evp and CCTV have yet to be reviewed but will be posted up at a later date if anything is recorded. Numerous names that have been recorded during this investigation on the ovilous and other audible equipment have been verified with historical records.

These names will not be divulged due to future investigations at this location.

All in all a very active evening with some very strange phenomena. Yesterdays world has yet again proved to be very active and I know when I speak for all at TSUK when we say we can’t wait to go back and investigate again.

PARANORMAL FUN

Ross Allison has been investigating the paranormal for more than 25 years. His work has taken him all over the world to London, Paris, Romania, Rome, Mexico, Scotland, Ireland, Greece, Spain and many other exciting locations. Throughout his travels, Ross has collected ghost stories, investigated haunted sites and photographed some of the most beautiful cemeteries you can only imagine.

Besides his passion for exploring the unknown, Ross has written a number of books, with articles featured in magazines and blogs. He also enjoys traveling the US to speak with students, fellow ghost hunters and others that fancy a good ghost story.

Throughout his career, Ross has appeared on a number of programs, books, magazines, documentaries and radio shows. You may have seen him on shows like: Ghost Hunters, Scariest Places on Earth, America’s Ghost Hunters, The Montel Show and quite a few others. Keep an eye out for his new book, Spooked in Seattle, in bookstores.

You can also join Ross on his Blogtalkradio show The Angry Ghost Hunter every Thursday at 7pm PST Para-Drama, is there a need for it?

“Witch! Witch!” is shouted from the crowd, raising their pitchforks and torches as they chase down the accused for the public witch burning. Witch Hunts demonstrate how greed, jealousy, fear and misunderstandings lead to many misfortunes of those involved. Unfortunately, this kind of behavior still occurs today. Now, Western culture no longer tolerates witch burnings (too messy), but we still can be labeled accusers, as we point the finger and do the name calling. There are still followers, those who chant out wrong doings with pitchforks and torches in hand (well, maybe not pitchforks and torches, more like cellphones and ipads) and lastly, the victim, the individual tied to the stake.

We know what it’s like to have the aching feeling of a knife pierced in our backs, or to have participated in the whispering taunts when that person leaves the room. And kept the rumour mill spinning as we spread the juicy gossip of the he said, she said crap. We all have been a victim of it or even in some way a part of it. Drama, drama, drama! Even when we have both hands on the wheel, we just can’t steer away from it.

It’s in our homes, workplaces and even our best of friends can dish us up a good heaping pile of it. So it’s no surprise we find it even in the field of paranormal. “SCREAM!!!!!”

In fact, it’s so common that we have given it its own word “Para-Drama.”

Now, it’s nothing you’ll find in the dictionary, and it still comes up underlined in red when using Spellcheck, but it’s becoming a popular word among us ghost hunters and paranormal investigators. It is nothing more than conflict regarding any given situation or series of events caused by individuals or groups in the paranormal investigation field.

Throughout my years in this field, I have experienced betrayal, rejection, ridicule, and heartbreak. I have been witness to plenty of drama played out in several groups (including my own), usually ending with folks leaving a group, being excluded or even termination. I have witnessed emails and online fights break out among members and other groups. These conflicts can be the focus of investigation methods, interpretation of data, psychic impressions, protocol, territory, personal conflicts, equipment used or obtained evidence, investigation location, media and even becoming a popularity contest just to name a few.

Let’s be frank here, is this level of immaturity and unprofessionalism getting completely out of hand? Has investigating the spooks sparked our inner children? And now we take our toys and run when things don’t go our way?

GROW UP PEOPLE!!!

With overwhelming amounts of people chasing ghosts, many groups and individuals have been known to display egos, competitiveness and jealousy targeted at those they simply disagree with or don't understand and in most cases, don’t even know personally. It’s the belief that if we make others look bad, we make ourselves look good. But who really has the time for this type of behaviour?

Are we so prepared to go to war with our fellow ghost hunter, when we may not even have the facts straight? We call ourselves investigators, yet in most cases we have not even taken the correct steps in finding truth to what’s happened when dealing with the situation.

Could all this simply be nothing more than wrong assumptions, misinterpretations which lead to multiple opportunities for misunderstandings in our community, all due to the lack of communication we have with one another?

Remember, every tale has two sides to the same story.

Take this example for instance: In the casino you spend $20 on a slot machine that just didn’t pay out. As you walk away, some stranger jumps on the same machine and pops in a nickel and hits the jackpot. How does this make you feel? You’re pissed, even furious at the person who just won big.

It’s human nature that effects our reactions and influences our behaviour towards perfectly innocent and random events.

Just like in ghost research, we can spend hours investigating a haunted location and get nothing, but when another team goes in and walks away with something amazing, we tend to respond with “We didn’t get anything there; so it wasn’t haunted, so that group must have faked their evidence.” This type of thing happens all the time. And the term for this is simply jealousy. Remember with ghost hunting, it’s all about being at the right place at the right time.

There is no such thing as a perfect team or investigator; there will always be power struggles, conflicts, personality clashes, and disagreements about how others feel the group should be run. In fact, you may not agree with some of the techniques and/or equipment used on investigations, however, we all strive to do our best to learn what works and what doesn’t.

We don’t need to deal with a rat race to find the perfect evidence or to become the most popular group. It’s almost like geeks vs. jocks in high school. And in this field, we know the geeks are going to win ;-) The best thing you can do to avoid this type of behaviour and prevent yourself from becoming a Para-Drama Queen is to leave the negative attitude at home. Always be professional.

You don’t have to like everyone in this field, just treat them with respect.

Remember attitude is everything.

What we need to do is work together. Learn to develop better ways of having direct communication with the other groups and individuals in this field. Have a face-to-face conversation if at all possible or at least on the phone which offers a more effective way in communication. Here are few good reasons why you’ll want to do this: 1.

Issues can be dealt with faster 2.

Less room for misunderstanding in the content of the text 3.

Builds relationships & communication skills Don’t allow yourself to be a victim in how your email was interpreted. Potential damage is done through emails and text, often enough that can never be repaired.

So get off the Para-Drama bandwagon and motivate yourself and your team to what brought you here in the first place, to have a better understanding of the unknown. For your experience in this field should never be diminished by resentment or our own insecurities but filled with the pleasure of having that encounter you’ve been longing for, an experience filled with the paranormal and NOT Para-Drama .

England’s Haunted......

Poltergeist By Stephen Renfield

I have been searching the length and breadth of England to bring you some of our alleged hauntings. Some could be real, some are known fakes that bring fame and fortune.

Even so, I personally find the whole thing very fascinating as some public houses claim theirs to be the most haunted in England while other places claim to have reoccurring poltergeist activity.

Some places have closed their doors to paranormal investigators, while others welcome them with open arms.......

In this addition, I have looked into alleged Poltergeist activity in England.

Case 1 THE McKENZIE POLTERGIEST One case that has me absolutely fascinated is one of Edinburgh’s most notorious, The McKenzie Poltergeistat Greyfriars Cemetery.

Most people do not realise that this is one of the sites of cruel England.

The Covenanters prison here was the first recorded concentration camp in the 1600s.

Greyfriars Graveyard

In 1637, approximately 1800 Presbyterians were held here in the walled section of the graveyard, which now is called the covenanters prison.

It is here that the prosecutor at the time, Sir George McKenzie who was a lawyer and lord advocate to Charles II, ordered the torture and killing of the prisoners.

This man is said to have lied and cheated to bring charges against these prisoners. He was given the nickname ‘’Bluidy (Bloody) McKenzie’’ Upon McKenzie’s death on 8th May 1861, McKenzie’s body was brought up from London and laid to rest in Greyfriars Kirkyard close by to the covenants prison.

Erected over his grave is a rounded mausoleum designed by James Smith.

Now called the Black Mausoleum.

Early in 1999, a homeless man broke into the mausoleum to sleep, here and he desecrated the coffin in his search for a comfortable place and also fell through the floor revealing a hidden room which was filled with unidentified skeletons.

Sir George McKenzie

It is said that he disturbed more than just a tomb, that he had disturbed something in the afterlife.

The homeless man did not stay here long needless to say. There are no reports of why he fled, it could have been that he himself encountered something sinister.

The Covenanters Prison

Today there have been over 500 reports of attacks on visitors by unseen hands.

Visitors have been knocked unconscious, left with bruises, being cut and some even being bitten.

Of the 500 attacks 180 have been left unconscious.

Could this be the evil predator, Sir George McKenzie?

A great place to visit steeped in history and a great place to investigate too.

McKenzie’s mausoleum today

Photo’s This was taken at Annesley Hall, Nottingham, England.

The poet Lord Byron often Stayed here and it was the Inspiration for some of his Poems. Nothing was see at The time the photo was Taken.

This was captured on a Clear, dry and warm night, nobody in the team was smoking and nothing was seen at the time.

How Mediums Work How mediums work - the difference between working with a Psychic link and a Spirit link. (This is only a rough guide but may interest people to know the basics of how mediumship works). Someone who is Psychic is said to be in touch with their, and anybody else's, soul. They do not need to be in the same room as each other, or even the same country to be able to do this. Therefore they can perform a soul reading, where they can connect with someone's soul, and read information about a person's past, present, and possible future with or without tarot or oracle cards. When reading on a psychic link the person reading consciously or unconsciously pushes their energy field or auric field outwards and forwards.

The word Clairvoyant comes from the French for Clear Seeing. Nowadays the word Clairvoyant is often use to describe someone with Psychic powers because they can "clearly see" things most people cannot, including the future. There are other "Clairs" as well. Clairsentience means clear sensing or feeling, Clairaudience means clear hearing, Clairgustance is clear smelling, Clairknowing is when you just know.

Mediumship is when a medium raises their energy in order to act as a conductor or relayer of information direct from the spirit world and pushes it outwards and behind them, consciously or unconsciously. The word medium means the thing in which something is transported or transmitted.

That is what we say when we talk of the medium of television or the media when referring to television, radio, newspapers, etc. They transmit information from person to person. A Spiritual Medium transmits information from a spirit, a departed loved one to someone on the earth plane.

The medium cannot work alone and works in partnership with their spirit guide who is in control at all times of finding the spirit person that is needed for the communication, the information that is being received and the way that the medium receives it. The most important thing when working as a medium is the relationship that is built up between the medium and their guide and the trust bond that builds over time as the working relationship develops.

CONNECTING TO SPIRIT & ENERGY CONTROL Mediums are taught ways to connect to spirit before they give a message. All mediums will use some form of energy expansion or connection technique to help them get ready to work with spirit.

There are lots of different ways and none are wrong, it is just best to try a few before you work out what is best for you. Some people like to say a prayer or do some form of protection.

If you have not been taught how to connect to spirit or are interested in other ways of connecting with spirit before you do readings, this article may help you. All matter and energy vibrates, we vibrate as human and so do spirit. We are all energy and vibrate on different levels. Humans vibrate at a slower rate and spirit vibrates higher or faster. When a medium connects to spirit, they have to raise their vibrations and the spirit guide and spirit communicating through the medium have to lower their vibrations until the two meet in the middle.

When you feel that there is a weak link or the information is not flowing, it is just that your energy levels or vibrations are not raised enough for spirit to communicate properly with you. Your energy levels or vibrations will also go up and down as you do your reading.

If you get a no answer or a not sure answer during your reading, your energy will shrink back down and you have to push it back out again to be able to continue with the reading.

Some people will naturally do this, most have to be aware of it and practice it and be conscious of it during a reading and that way you are able to be in control and get the most amount of evidence through in your reading for your sitter.

ENERGY CONTROL AND CONNECTING TO SPIRIT This is an exercise that is a quick and easy way to expand your own energy and raise your own vibrations and then connect to spirit. It may help to read it first and then close your eyes as it is a visualisation exercise. If you keep practicing and it works for you then you will get the hang of it and do it with your eyes open. Imagine your aura or your energy field as a bubble around your body, front, back, sides and over your head.

The energy can be clear, coloured, multi coloured, its up to you its your energy.

Now concentrate on your breathing slowing it down in and out. Now with every out breath imagine your energy bubble/aura expanding away from your body, upwards, outwards, front, sides and back. With each out breath push it out more, and more, expanding it out, more and more. It can grow to fill the room, you can push it out through the roof of your house, towards the stars, its up to you, just push it out and when you are happy, stop.

Keeping your energy there ask for the white light of spirit to shine down on you and enter your body through your head, through your crown chakra. Feel this light energy as it fills your body. Then with your next out breath, push it out through your stomach, or solar plexus chakra into your energy field/aura. See or feel the light energy mixing with your own, the colours mixing or merging with ease.

When you are ready re focus on the energy entering your body through your crown chakra. Then quick as a flash see it coming into your body down the length of your spine and below and back up again, faster and faster, quicker and quicker until it is a continuous up and down flow constant and continuous. When you are ready open your eyes.

You should feel, lighter, lifted and happy. You are now connected to spirit.

This process, helps you first grow or expand your energy or auric field and raise your vibrations. Then when you have raised them it connects you to spirit and lets spirit lower their vibrations to merge with yours.

HELP YOUR CONNECTION & LINK WITH SPIRIT You are now working with your own energy whilst you are connected to spirit. Keep the bubble in your mind. If you get a no in your message or a don't know, consciously visualise your energy pushing out again, the bubble pushing out and get that re-connection you need to keep the connection strong with spirit as you work.

Ask your guides to help you with this and they will. . If you are connected in this way and still are having trouble connecting, feel that the link is weak or can't get the evidence you need, then the other reason will be that the person communicating through you in spirit is too far away from you on the edge of your energy bubble and you need them to come in to your energy as close as you possibly can to get the information from them to pass on to their loved ones in their message.

You need to mentally or verbally ask the spirit working with you to move as close into your energy as they can, get them in as close as you can till you can feel them really really feel them. You are in control and sometime will have to tell them what to do to communicate through you. Your guide will at all times be in place right behind you and will always be as close to you as it is possible to get. This is why, when you see mediums on a platform in a church or doing a demonstration, they will move around a lot or move forwards and backwards. It is because they are moving themselves into the energy of the spirit that they are working with.

Sometimes it helps when you want to get your link with spirit to stand up to do it, you will find yourself moving backwards and forwards side to side, just go with it.

When you have your link, you can ask them mentally or verbally to move with you to the chair where you are working to give out your message and your guide will help you. When spirit work with us as mediums they will use the moisture in our bodies and it is easy to become dehydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during and after you do a message and this will keep you hydrated, concentrating properly and keep your energy up where it needs to be. This again is why all mediums in circle, on platform or doing private sittings always drink a lot of water, and if you try this when you are working with spirit it should help you.

CLOSING DOWN It is vitally important for you to close down as a medium EVERY TIME you finish working with spirit. As soon as you start to work with spirit you are in the eyes of spirit, a medium, you just have to develop your mediumistic abilities. You will vibrate on a higher frequency than others on the earth plane, when you start to work with spirit.

Those in spirit will see your light shining brighter than others and know that they can possibly communicate through you to their loved ones.

You will find your own family and loved ones in spirit, and those of friends/ strangers will come to you because of this. You must be aware of this and stay closed to this unless you and your guide wish you to bring a message through. If you do not, then your energy will be drained and you will find that you are not fully feeling very with it/day dreaming etc. You need to keep living your physical life, and so asking your guides not to connect when you are working etc will also help you. When you have been working as a medium you must always and every time close down after you have finished your message(s). Again there is no wrong or right way to close down it can range from really quick to very complicated and will depend on your teachings and background with working with spirit. If you need a quick and easy way to disconnect and close down, then here is one for you.

It is all about intentions and if your thoughts are saying to your guide, close me down, then they will do. Close you eyes and send out your thoughts to your guide of love and thank them for working with you as you have worked with them. As guide and mediums together in partnership. Ask that the energy that has been built up whilst you have been working with spirit be sent out into the universe or into the world to be used where it is needed most.

To heal the sick, to comfort the suffering.

Then imagine your energy bubble shrinking back down, to your body.

Some people may say a small prayer. Do what is right for you. When you are closed down, your sprit guide has the intelligence to stop all spirits from coming though with messages for you.

They will do this for you and protect you.

All you have to do is ask them once to do this for you everytime you close down, then you can consider it done. Working with spirit is a two way process, as soon as you start you build your relationship with your guide. They are your guide and you are their medium. Ask your guide for help to communicate with spirit, with your messages, to open and close and they will always do their best to help you.

England’s Haunted......

Poltergeist By Stephen Renfield

Case 2 THE ENFIELD POLTERGIEST In August of 1977 Margaret Hodgson called the police to her rented home after two of her four children had witnessed furniture moving and knocking sounds. Even a neighbour had been called to the house and after witnessing a chest of drawers moving on its own had fled the home. A female police constable had even witnessed a chair slide across the floor and then flip over, but could not explain this. Later the police released a statement saying that this was not a police matter and withdrew all investigation there.

Tappings, strange noises and demonic voices were later claimed here.

The story of the Enfield Poltergeist reached the national press and investigators for the Society of Psychical Research. Member Maurice Gross & Guy Lyon-Playfair took up the case.

The home of the Hodkins’ Green Street, Enfield

They recorded Janet, aged 11 speaking with an unexplained demonic voice. The rasping male voice sent a chill through the room.

Hauntingly, it delivered a message from beyond the grave, describing in graphic detail the moment of death.

‘Just before I died, I went blind, and then I had an ’aemorrhage and I fell asleep and I died in the chair in the corner downstairs.’

The eerie voice — which can still be heard on audio tapes today — is reportedly that of Bill Wilkins.

The recording was made in Enfield, North London, in the Seventies, several years after his death.

A news reporter also captured Janet being thrown out of her bed.

Janet Hodgson, aged 11 at the time, appeared to be thrown out of her bed while her helpless sister could only look on.

Naturally, many questions arose, whether it was all a hoax — but no explanation other than the paranormal has ever been convincingly put forward. Years later, Janet would tell a Channel 4 documentary: ‘It started in a back bedroom, the chest of drawers moved, and you could hear shuffling.

Mum said: “I want you to pack it in.”

‘We told her what was going on, and she came to see it for herself. She saw the chest of drawers moving. When she tried to push it back, she couldn’t.’

Janet’s sister Margaret explained how the activity increased.

‘There were strange little noises in the house, You couldn’t make out what was going on. None of us slept.

‘We put on our dressing gowns and slippers and went next door.’

The family appealed for help from their neighbours, Vic and Peggy Nottingham. Vic, a burly builder, went to investigate.

He says: ‘I went in there and I couldn’t make out these noises — there was a knocking on the wall, in the bedroom, on the ceiling. I was beginning to get a bit frightened.’

Most of the activity centred on 11-year-old Janet. She went into violent trances, which were awful to watch. Janet told Channel 4 ‘I felt used by a force that nobody understands. I really don’t like to think about it too much.

I’m not sure the poltergeist was truly “evil”. It was almost as if it wanted to be part of our family.

'It didn’t want to hurt us. It had died there and wanted to be at rest. The only way it could communicate was through me and my sister.’

Some cast doubt on the events, however. Two SPR experts caught the children bending spoons themselves, and questioned why no one was allowed in the same room as Janet when she was using her gruff voice, apparently that of Bill Wilkins.

Indeed, Janet admitted that they fabricated some of the occurrences.

She told ITV News in 1980: ‘Oh yeah, once or twice (we faked phenomena), just to see if Mr Grosse and Mr Playfair would catch us. They always did.’

Now aged 45, Janet lives in Essex with her husband, a retired milkman. she describes the poltergeist activity as traumatic.

‘It was an extraordinary case. It’s one of the most recognised cases of paranormal activity in the world.

But, for me, it was quite daunting. I think it really left its mark, the activities, the newspaper attention, the different people in and out of the house.

It wasn’t a normal childhood.’

Asked how much of the phenomena at Green Street was faked, she says: ‘I’d say 2 per cent.’

She also admitted playing with an Ouija board with her sister, just before the activity flared up at the house.

She says she was unaware that she went into trances, until she was shown pictures.

‘I recall being very distressed by the photos when I was a child, I was very upset.

‘I knew when the voices were happening, of course, it felt like something was behind me all of the time.

They did all sorts of tests, filling my mouth with water and so on, but the voices still came out.

Paranormal? Myth? Legend?

How the curse of the crying boy evolved...

The Spanish artist J Bragolin (who also went by aliases Franchot Seville and Bruno Amadio)was said to have painted a deaf and dumb Spanish street urchin by the name of Don Bonillo, who would have been between three and five years old at the time.

It is thought that Bragolin found the child wondering around the streets of Madrid.

The orphan boy had run away after seeing his parents die in a blaze and never spoke again.

And because wherever he settled, fires would mysteriously break out, he became known to the locals as Diablo or devil.

Warned by a Catholic priest that the boy was jinxed, Bragolin nevertheless insisted on painting the boy and is rumoured to have tried beating the curse out of him.

When the artist's studio burnt down in a blaze he blamed the orphan boy, and Bragolin's career was likewise jinxed for evermore. For nobody would buy his paintings again after this.

It is thought that 19-year-old Don Bonillo later died in a car accident when the car he was in exploded into flames. Nobody came forward to claim his body.

These crying boy paintings were later mass reproduced in the 1980's and were readily available in places like Woolworths and Boots.

The curse of the crying boy began in Yorkshire, September 1985 when over 50 mysterious house fires were thought to have been caused by the paranormal painting. In most cases the houses were completely destroyed and only the painting remained untouched. It is thought that the paintings didn't burn because they were printed on compressed hardboard and hard to ignite.

Even so, there is not a firefighter in Yorkshire who will allow one in his/her home.

This months featured team Dayton Ohio Supernatural

Team leader Aaron Bilbrey (bottom left, with core members Krista, Kevin & Jane) began ghost hunting with his family a couple of years ago when they went to Prospect Place in Dresden Ohio. It had been featured on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. They made contact with a little girl there who rolled a ball out into the hall.

They later found EVPs of her answering questions.

After that he was hooked.

He started booking places himself under the name Dayton Ohio Supernatural. The name turned out to be a blessing because they started getting referrals from other groups for the Dayton area.

He has been very lucky in his captures of EVPs. almost always coming away with a large amount of Class A's. The main goal of the Dayton Ohio Supernatural group is to have fun, but also educate others as well. This is why they have started a daily feature on their Facebook page called "The Ghost Hunting Tip of the Day". Aaron tries to give an informative and unique look into paranormal investigating, all the while giving ideas to make other groups more successful in their capture of evidence.

Some of the places investigated: Prospect Place, Sedamsville Rectory, Poasttown Elementary, Bryn Du Mansion, Whispers Estate, Mansfield Prison, Twin City Opera House, and Bobby Mackey's.

They have upcoming investigations at Waverly Hills Sanitarium and Thornhaven Manor.

One of the most famous ghost photographs ever taken.

The photograph known as 'The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall' is probably the most famous picture of a ghost ever taken.

Captured on 19 September 1936 by two photographers, the picture shows a curious transparent image, suggestive of a hooded figure, apparently descending a wooden staircase in Raynham Hall, Norfolk, England.

Comments when recently posted on Facebook Very good picture because it is so well known that if almost become representative of Ghost Picture.

Beautiful!!!!!!!

110% legit, it has been proven again & again Have seen this photo many times and I'm fascinated by it every time Its meant to be (which is subject to debate) a woman & her young son.

Anita Jo Intenzo-Haunted Author Classically trained as a fine artist, I graduated with honors from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. My fine arts training in painting and sculpture along with my knowledge of restoration materials evolved into a business where I'm able to preserve and restore family treasures: www.pastimagesbyanita.com I wrote a non-fiction book, Estate of Horror that has just been published. It is now up on Amazon, Kindle. Check out my website: www.estateofhorror.com for updates on my ghostly news.

Have you seen a shadow person? Read about one of the world's current phenomenons in my updated blog that is happening more and more frequently and being reported to the paranormal community.

What is a shadow person? By definition a shadow person, also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass, is an alleged paranormal entity. Their movement is often described as being very quick and disjointed; they may first move slowly, and then rapidly "hop" to another part of a surrounding. Some witnesses describe this movement as though the shadow entities they have seen "danced" from one wall to the next. They often completely disappear into solid walls.

A number of religions, legends, and belief systems describe shadowy spiritual beings or supernatural entities such as shades of the underworld, and various shadowy creatures have long been a staple of folklore and ghost stories. The phenomenon can take many forms: big, hairy, shadowy spiders, cats, clouds, black masses, or where a head is directly connected to a set of broad shoulders and, at times, you can see red glowing eyes.

Shadow people are described with striking similarities all over the world such as the Hat-Man which is described the same from small children to adults. The common traits are dark silhouettes with human shapes (usually a masculine shape) and profiles. Some shadow people are wearing coats and hats and a few have claimed to see them with bright red glowing eyes.

Others talk about the "Hat Man," a solid creature as having "a Zorro-type hat" or "a Fedora type hat". He wears a three piece suit and a cape or a long trench coat, and possesses glowing red or solid black eyes. Even more terrifying is the entity covered in a Hooded Black Cloak with no feet!

Where Do They Come From?

There is scientific research that tells of several physiological and psychological conditions can account for reported experiences of shadow people.

A possibility could be it's an illusion from sleep deprivation, which may lead to hallucinations. Another theory is that Shadow people are psychological in nature, and that they are somehow linked to a modern stressful lifestyle.

One scientific explanation is that shadow people are seen mainly in the corner of ones eye from a condition known as Pareidolia, that could be responsible. This is a condition where vision in the peripheral area of the eye incorrectly interprets random patterns of light/ shadow or texture as being familiar patterns such as faces and human forms.

Can shadow people be spirits of once living human beings that are stuck here on earth and maybe for one reason or another can't move on? A lot of people who have seen and experienced shadow people don't think that shadow people are residual haunting's. Most people who have seen shadow people think that they are intelligent and able to come and go when they want.

Some people even say they think shadow people may be another life form entirely or may be the extra-dimensional inhabitants of another universe.

Online discussion forums devoted to paranormal and supernatural topics describe Shadow People as menacing, among other believers and paranormal authors, there is no consensus that shadow people are either evil, helpful, or neutral.

One of the more frightening forms witnesses recall is the black mass, an appalling dark form with a vaguely humanoid stance, which the witnesses unanimously feel represents pure evil can jump on your chest to choke you. The "Hat Man," is claimed to be a form of evil incarnate and speculated that the being is the Devil himself!

My Own Experiences With Shadow People August 2009: our cousins visited the house of my deceased friend hoping to capture some paranormal activity on their cameras. The chapter describing what took place during that visit is in my published book, Estate of Horror. www.estateofhorror.com.

Our cousin *"Karen" sat on a chair during the time spent documenting the activity in the basement of the house that harrowing day and soon felt a presence behind her. Following photo shows what she captured on film. Her sister also recorded a darting dark figure behind a wardrobe closet.

*named changed

On June 2010: My son, Chris awoke suddenly in his bedroom and saw a dark figure near his chair. He instinctively snapped a picture with his cell phone camera and went back to sleep as it was very early. When he woke up several hours later he thought he had dreamed the event. That was until he looked at the image he captured on the camera. A dark hooded creature that seems to float off the floor. He showed it to me as he was getting dressed and I suggested he take another photo of the chair to compare before and after. That is why there is a slight change of the shirts moved in the other frame but the photos were taken the same morning.

My family have seen small shadows darting along the baseboards and ceilings in our home and these have been connected with poltergeist activity at the same time.

July 6, 2012: This figure showed up again last year when we filmed my book trailer. On our teaser, before you see the shadow man at the beginning of the video (the first 10 seconds) reflected on our white door and just before you see him there is a brief EVP of a dog barking. http://youtu.be/kA2_q6GWJjQ Our producer and crew said no one heard any dog barking or noise (this was midnight and no one was around but us) when they were filming and our cinematographer and director and crew were not wearing hats.

Artist rendering of our shadow man as seen on video

Our brimmed hat shadow man came to my son later (who is very psychic) in a dream and told him was a former resident who murdered his wife in the early 1900's. My son described him as wearing farmer's overalls and a brimmed hat along with his companion-a large black dog with red eyes. We researched in county records (the property dates to the early 1800's) and indeed a former owner went to prison for murdering his wife in 1900's.

So, Should You Be Afraid?

It depends. Has it caused you to be frightened by its presence or has shown aggression towards you? That can be a problem. If you've never been harmed it may just be part of the home's original history (like with our experience) and is just an echo of a spirit or ghost that has existed for an extended period of time. It could be a being created through negative psychic energy or a lost soul who has been wronged, has unfinished business or has evil intent. Perhaps just an hallucination or optical illusion brought on by the psychological circumstances of stress, or mental illness. These are things you have to keep in mind to understand its reason for being there or just exactly why they are suddenly there at all. As the old 1940's radio detective show "The Shadow" used to say in its opening line, "Only the Shadow Knows!"

Sleep Well….

A man moves into a new house..

Every morning as he leaves for work a little girl in the house opposite looks out of her window, she watches him go to his car and leave, he has never seen anyone enter or leave the house and begins to grow concerned.

One morning as he leaves he see the girl…she is frantically banging on the window with a look of terror and appeared to be screaming for help!

Taking his eyes off her for a split second as he grabbed his phone to call for help, he looks back and she is gone!

He calls the police to report what has just happened, to his surprise he is told prank calls are an arrestable offence, he assures the police that he is deadly serious and not pranking..

The police inform him that he is then mistaken as the little girl who lived in the house went missing 8 years ago, her parents left the area 2 years ago….

Nobody has lived there since…

A couple take their children to the families picnic where every year the wife takes a family portrait. When adding this years photo to the album she notices a woman at the very back of the group who she doesn’t recognise, going back through previous years she notices the unknown woman is there every year…

Confused about who she is she shows her husband, he freezes with shock!

He recognises her from photos he had seen as a child….it was his mother who had died giving birth to him.

He grabbed the albums and rushed to show his father…he told his father about his mother being in the photos, he quickly opened the album to show him, but she had vanished from every single photo. ….she never appeared again.

I suddenly awoke realising I had slept in and was late for work, grabbing my clothes I quickly dressed and rushed from the house.

Running to the bus stop as fast as I could, shouting out a few ‘Hello’s’ to people I knew…

My still sleepy mind began registering nobody was returning my greetings, they didn’t even acknowledge me!

Some people can be so ignorant.

As I was running it suddenly dawned on me I had left my wallet on the bedside table, angry with myself I spun round and ran even faster back home to get my wallet, again everyone seemed oblivious to me as I sprinted through the streets.

I burst through the front door and took the stairs in a few bounds, as I flung my bedroom door open I froze in horror….

I was still in bed, quiet clearly dead.

This was taken during An investigation at a pub/bar Nobody was in the frame when The photo was taken. One of the reports from the location is a white figure rushing to go Upstairs which are to the right As you look at the picture.

Has this figure been caught?

Caught at Nottinghams Galleries of Justice, England.

Upon lightening a Dark photo, what Appears to be two Figures becomes Visible. Right one Standing and left One seated..

He is a Wonderful, Dedicated, Friendly Hard Working Guy who is always there for everyone and which is why people love him so much, what you see is what you get with Simon! His Motto "we should be all working together" x What got you interested in the paranormal?

"Ever Since I was little I was fascinated in the Paranormal by watching movies and TV shows based on the Paranormal and listening to stories my granny told me about her sightings of ghosts being relatives etc One of my fave show's was Most Haunted which I thought was a fantastic show which opened my eyes to the Paranormal world, loved how being locked away in a haunted location with a camera for 24 hours was so exciting and thrilling. Being a fan of the dark I just loved how the show was put together and planned out it really taught me a lot in terms of equipment, experiments and techniques to use when Ghost Hunting. From watching the show to Ghost Hunting now in the present day it has been a wonderful journey and I’m so excited to see where My Investigations into the unknown take place next"

Did you enjoy your time with Most Haunted?

Yes it was an Amazing Experience to take part in what I watched for over 10 years, Fantastic Team and Locations it was an amazing experience to be with the Team filming and to see what it was like and it has definitely made me believe that there is life after death, you have to experience paranormal activity in person then you can say wow I believe! So much different than watching it on TV. It was a dream come true and I Thank Karl and Yvette for giving Me the chance to tag along and experience the thrill and fun of Ghost Hunting on Most Haunted.

What is your scariest time on an investigation (what happened)?

"My Fave so Far was a Wollaton Hall Nottingham with the Amazing Haunted Events UK Team which I am Now a Team member with, they are the Best Ghost Hunting Company in the UK So Please Check them Out The Investigation began in darkness.at Wollaton Hall Nottingham in the Grooms room. We Started of with Table Tipping, we all stood around the table in the centre of the room and placed our hands lightly on the table and called out and asked questions with which the table started to move across the floor. No way was anyone pushing it cos you cant and you would know by the pressure of your hands! At one point the table tilted onto two legs and it was so hard to even try and push it back down again, it was Amazing! Bojana decided to move the table near the steps of the entrance of the room, and again the Table moved about. What came to us was a Spirit of a little girl who wanted to play with us. So we all stood in a circle and got marbles and placed them on our hand flat out in front of us and called out and asked the little girl to push them off our hands onto the floor. In which in time they were pushed and moved off our hands it was amazing. while that happened my left eye twitched a lot like someone was pinching my left eye, it also felt as if something was stroking my back. I felt a lot of cold spots and tingling sensations over My Body too. The Door of the room we were in was shut but started to move as the light from the door went brighter and then dimmed, there was no wind or breeze. We called out and asked for the door to be pushed open and closed, which it did but was like a child was trying to push the door gently it was Fantastic! We also noticed while that was happening that a black figure was standing on the steps, even though we were in darkness the light from the door that was opening and closing shone on the steps into the room very lightly so that we could see a black silhouette figure appearing and it went again on the steps that led down into the room of where we stood, we also tried placing marbles on these steps stood back in the dark and one was moved of the steps onto the floor in front of us INCREDIBLE!!

We got lots tapping and noises around the room too .

It really was an experience and has made me believe even more that there is definitely life after death."

Why did you leave Most Haunted?

"Just to quote I wasn’t part of the Most Haunted Team but I did a hell of a lot of hard work for the social media of MH for over 3 years. I felt I did my bit for the fans, but sadly to some it wasn’t enough. But I was proud of what I achieved in the Fan Base I worked hard to bring together after the show finished on TV in 2010. I am so grateful for the fun experience I had with the Most Haunted Team and I wish them luck for the future. I am now putting Myself first and focusing on my own career and talents with my Singing and Ghost Hunting. 2014 has been a refresh for Me and its time to move onto bigger and better things now" What is your favourite location and why?

Oh so far it has to be Wollaton Hall Nottingham. Amazing Location and Looks Incredible!

Wollaton Hall The hall is quite a wonderful building in itself, with over 500 acres of deer park it was built by Francis Willoughby. The hall is now used to house exhibits of the Nottingham Natural History Museum and the industrial past of the city.

In the early 1980’s two staff were chatting to a foreman and heard laboured breathing. It sounded like it was in the room with them, as they listened the sound moved away and faded as if the person was walking off.

On another evening an attendant heard a tune being whistled, another witness was called so they could check the room. When they looked inside there was nothing so they shut the door and carried on, the tune then started up again inside the room so they decided to leave it for good.

With a building that has been there since 1588 it seems some of the residents enjoy it enough to carry on sticking around.
