ALCOHOL AND THE PARANORMAL

Recently someone contacted us and said something like, "We have a ghost in the house now. It's black and has red eyes! It used to only be in the front yard, but my friend Tracy called it in one night while he was drunk! He went out into the yard and said, 'Come in! I dare ya.' And it did! Now the ghost acts up EVERY TIME Tracy is drunk!" Oh my.

My first reaction was like the psychologist who when the patient says, "I bite my fingernails. What can I do?" And the droll psychologist simply says, "Stop biting them!"

The psychological community would of course suspect that everyone in the household is drinking or on drugs, and that is the only time they see the black ghost with the red eyes!

Even as a paranormal investigator I might concur in this particular case! This could have been a complete ruse for their own enjoyment; however, they man reporting this seemed to be genuinely concerned.

We had a case early in 2009 where we captured quite a bit of real evidence over three visits -- where there do appear to be spirits haunting the original farmland that this house now sits upon in a residential area. Most of the activity was centered around one particular house guest; however, who had relapsed heavily into illegal drugs, and was acting in a very erratic manner quite suddenly after having lived there for some months prior.

The findings were that these spirits who had lived in the last century on this land were very old-fashioned, and to put it lightly they did not approve of the behavior! Therefore, they became extremely active in this house until the man finally was forced to move out by the homeowner.

On last report, the homeowner knows they are still around him at times, but now it is a much more gentle encounter, and they appear to be cohabitating very well at this point now that he understands what exactly was happening and why.

Not drinking in general, but ABUSE of alcohol and drugs do not mix well with spirits! People can either draw in spirits who like the wild life and cause havoc because of that, or they protest vehemently because it is "our house" or property, and they will not tolerate it! So just remember that the next time you "tie one on"! :)

Busy Busy!

I haven't posted in a few weeks because we've been so busy. We've been working on two very interesting and involved cases, one in East Texas and one in Dallas.

Sometimes, if a paranormal investigation group is doing a thorough job, they just cannot get in and out in one visit! Occasionally, there are just too many layers and intricacies at the location.

This really makes a "P.I's" day generally speaking to be sleuthing everything out to everyone's satisfaction. At times, these cases will be on-going. At other times, the client finally comes to some of their own conclusions and begin to finally feel "safe" in their own homes.

The goal is not generally to make anything leave. The main goal is to figure out what exactly is going on at the site, and to more or less counsel the clients, and even help them learn to communicate with whatever is there! It becomes somewhat of a negotiation or a marriage between the living and the dead!

Hope everyone has a great week! Now I'm going back to our cases . . . .
