The Truth About Evil...Is More Positive Than You Think
By Dorraine Fisher
People in spiritual and paranormal circles talk about evil a lot, but very few really understand the true nature of it. And the rest don’t believe it exists at all. But those are the ones who haven’t experienced it. Those who HAVE experienced it will tell you it’s very real.

First of all, if you aspire to logic as your framework to understand a metaphysical subject such as evil, you’ll totally miss the point. Evil doesn’t fit in that box. Scientist Nikola Tesla said “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, the more progress it will make in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” And yet, science and logicians ignore non-physical or metaphysical phenomena and refuse to examine them. But if you see logic as the answer to everything, you’ll never understand evil. And you’ll likely miss a very important element of existence that we all really need to understand better. So, if you’re one of those who insist that everything needs to be logical, you might want to stop reading right now. Because evil defies logic.

I recently got in a couple of reports dealing with the phenomenon of shadow people. A shadow person is also sometimes called a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass. It is sometimes even referred to as Hat Man as sometimes these figures appear to be wearing a hat.

The perception is that these black masses are a living, humanoid figure and is thought to be evidence of the presence of a spirit or other entity.

I have always been a dreamer, whether I was sleeping or awake. When I was little, my dreams were not always your typical little girl dreams. Instead, of kittens and rainbows, I would also dream about deceased family members or people I did not know and far off places, that I had never been.

Sometimes when I had the visitor, they would tell me things such as they were happy and safe; there would a bright light around them. Other times, they would be scared or confused. Being little, I did not understand what I was dreaming. My mom thought I was being an emotional little girl and one who had a big imagination, and that I was having nightmares/night terrors.

I was sixteen when I had my first Paranormal experience.The whole episode left me in awe. But scared me and sparked my interest all at once.

I had went to visit my girlfriend I'll call her Kate for privacy sake, but Kate lived in a old coal camp community. Coal Camps are small communities where the men that worked in the areas coal mines lived with there families. Most of the homes these men lived in where own by the coal companies themselves.
The house Kate lived in was at one time or another home to many people that worked the mines when
coal was abundant. Kate's family had told me many times they witnessed various things in the home like lights flicker, objects would move on their own, shadows where seen upstairs and downstairs, also noise and voices were heard at times. Of course I didn't believe any of it and would call them all nuts and would laugh when the subject was brought up.

I was challenged by Kate one night to go upstairs and say “I don't believe in ghost”... big mistake, so me being the brave 16 year old, I rushed upstairs and yelled to the top of my lungs “I don't believe in ghost”.
I was asked one night by her brothers Jake, Barry and Joe to spend the night since Kate was staying with a friend so I stayed. Jake didn't have a door for his bedroom so he had hung a sheet over the door frame for a little privacy. We were so into a game of Street Fighter When I notice the sheet in the door way move. I didn't say anything at first until Jake asked us “ Did you see that?”
We all responded with a "yes", when all of a sudden the door to the Balcony slammed shut. It shut so hard it shook the whole house.

We then spent 10 minutes fighting over who was going to go shut and lock the door then Barry said
he would go shut it. The moment he stuck his head out the door way there was a loud boom and he said "Nope I'm not going". So, I said I would. I get half way there when the door slams shut. I knock the boys down as I ran through the doorway.

But the episode that really done it was when me and Kate were on the balcony sitting, I kept feeling something rub up against my leg only to see my pants leg move and nothing was there. I kept feeling for a string or something but there was nothing. I also watched an Orb the size of a basket ball hover around the upstairs, on a few occasions.

After that I never set foot back into that house. The house stills stands to this day and I still have so many unanswered questions. After these events, I soon found others with my same interest and got into Ghost hunting and have been doing it on and off for a while now.

Over the last few days, I have been battling with a head cold. So, while trying not to over do it, I thought I'd just watch a movie.  Being a fan of Nicolas Cage, I settled on Pay the Ghost. I had never heard of this movie. The plot of the movie is fairly straight forward. A professor (cage) takes his young son to a Halloween carnival and the child vanishes right from his side. After about a year, the professor and his estranged wife (Sarah Wayne Callies, The Walking Dead) start to have odd things happen and soon realize their son is trying to contact them. As the couple tries to uncover the mystery about their son, they follow the clues and learn about a local legend that refuses to die.

Now, this movies offers very little in the way of "something new", but I found it very entertaining. It does contain some "jumpy" parts and a dark gloomy atmosphere. It is very well acted and the mystery of the phrase "pay the ghost" figures into film very well. Another good thing, at least for me, was that the movie contains no sex scenes or nudity. I don't even think there was any swear words. The film should hold most people interest, as it did mine. The movie moves along and avoids the boring scenes that can kill movies of this type.

In the Bigfoot world, there is often talk about portals, well this just might be a movie for you as portals play a important part in the most climactic part of the film. In fact, one of the more creepy parts of the film happen during this part of the film.


In the end, the film is a very watchable and falls into the realm of such films as Insidious. It's a supernatural child abduction movie.

Rating: 3 out of 5


Thanks

Mock up picture - Not actual photo. Used for reference only.

I got the following report in a couple days ago. It is an interesting report and is something many people have reported seeing.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Debbie ****

Email Address: on file

State: ky

County: bell

Date of Sighting: 1987-88

Time of Day: night

Nearest Town: pineville

Length of Sighting: overtime

How many Witnesses: 2

Any Photos/Videos: yes but i don't have them with me.

Describe sighting in detail:
In the 1980s I had move into my grandmothers house. I lived there when I was a young girl before my grandparents lived there and loved it but the people who lived in the house last did not take care of it and keep it up. The roof leaked and the paint was gone off the outside,and windows were busted. The two back doors didn't have any locks, so I had to make my own locks with two boards and nails.

My cousin kept saying he thought he would see shadows go back in forth through the living room and kitchen part when he was brushing his hair. My husband said he thought he saw things in the corner of his eye at that time. I did not have cable and the TV signed off at 11:30. When I had a fire built in the fire place, my husband hadn't got home yet, the kids were in bed. At that time I smoked cigarettes, I always blew the smoke at the fire place but I noticed that night the smoke wasn't going into the fireplace and keep going in a circle and into the next room. I kept feeling like someone was starring at me. So the TV signed off and I got up to turn it off. The smoke had surrounded the shape of something through the door way starring at ME through the mirror, which was by the doorway. It looked like it had long stringy hair, hollow black eyes, big long teeth and claws. I screamed god help me Jesus and turned the light back on, and kept it on till my husband got there. We didn't see anything else that night but whole time I lived in that house I became very sick and lost a lot of weight, I weighed about 75 pounds. I couldn't eat or sleep, always got very nervous, felt like I was losing my mind.

I begin to hear something make a tapping noise across the kitchen floor. I thought it may be a big rat and I sat out all kinds of poison but nothing stopped it. So, I thought what if its a snake. I took a flashlight to bed with me so I could turn it on when I heard the noise to see if I could find out what it was. There was a street light that shined through the window a few houses away so when I turned around to turn the flash light on I saw a shadow about four foot tall coming across the floor making the tapping noise. It was a shape of my grandmother with a headscarf and carrying two plates coming in my direction. I screamed no I don't want anything keep it and threw the cover over my head for a few minutes and then looked again nothing was there. Then I heard a very scary voice say why don't you just put the pillow over your head and suffocate yourself to death because no one loves you or cares about you anyway, so you might as well kill yourself and get it over with. Then I heard another calm voice saying your children love you, your dad and aunt, husband loves you and I love you. Who will raise your children right. I told the voice that spoke to me, no I will not do it (kill myself) to get away from me and leave me along. And it was like a bee hive going off in my head.
I saw all kinds of lights flashing going off like an explosion.

The next day I was standing on my porch and some people drove by in a truck and came back and talk to me and said that the lord had told them to come and pick me up that there was a revival at church and said I could come if I wanted to. I told them I would go and at the church service that night when they made the altar call there was so many people there that I could not get out of the aisle. So I lifted my hands and said God, if you don't help me I'm going to die and there will be no one to raise my children right. I felt like a warm fire came over me and I did not know what it was, it scared me and I started to ask someone what it was. I just lifted my hands and continued to thank the lord. Very shortly after that I moved out of the house and began to feel so much better right away. I have pictures of that house that was talking at night and there was like light coming out of the windows that looked like hands. There were three of them that came all over the house. There is a lot more to the house but if you want to hear more I can tell you later.
Thank you for your time

- End Report -

It sure sounds like there was something going on in that old house. I'm sure I have read about other cases where the person experienced weigh loss due to paranormal activity.

I can understand where Debbie is coming from, I lived in a house that had activity in it. That activity is still happening today. I hope to tell all about that at some point.

Also, I have ask Debbie for the photos she talked about in her report. If she is able to get them to me, I will update the post to include them.

Thanks goes to Debbie for telling us about some of her experiences with the spirit world. 


Thanks

Whelp, it has happened again. I was searching around on ebay and ran across this unusual item.
I know almost everyone has watched the Chucky movies. The series has been very popular over the years. There was a lot of movie related merchandise created based on the movies. I've had and have some of this merchandise. At one time I even had a bunch of these 12 inch Chucky dolls. I don't think any of mine was haunted or possessed.

 This auction for a Haunted Chucky doll is one that might interest some of you. Here is what the seller had to say about the doll.

--- 
"I believe it is a evil spirit it has been causing many problems and I am selling this for $99.99 and AS IS. You are 100% responsible after you buy it and receive it also the condition of this doll is the last thing you need to worry about.  . NO RETURNS . LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE EYES. " 
----

Notice this Chucky doll has no hair, what's up with that? Now I have not idea if this doll is haunted or not but I will admit the thing is kind of creepy looking with it's bald head and crisp blue eyes. There has been many reports of items becoming haunted or possessed and it seems dolls are at the top of the list.

For example, Robert the doll is a doll that was once owned by Key West painter and author Robert Eugene Otto. The doll, which is supposedly cursed, has become a fixture of ghost tours in the Key West, Florida area. Aesthetically, Robert resembles an early 20th-century American sailor. Contrary to popular belief, the doll's hair is not made of human hair, but rather, it consists of a synthetic material resembling wool yarn. Robert the doll has appeared on numerous TV shows and in magazines.

Then you also have Annabelle, which is a haunted raggedy Ann doll. The doll was investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren and currently resides in a glass box at The Warren's Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut. The Annabelle doll has also spawned a couple of movies, The Conjuring and Annabelle.

So, maybe this Chucky doll is haunted/possessed ....are you willing to give this hairless doll a new home? If so Click here to buy it. But don't get scared if one night you hear "Hi, I'm Chucky, wanna play?"

You never know what kind of item you might find up for sell on ebay. If you like haunted items and ghost then this auction might be for you.

Haunted Possessed doll Auction!

Here is what is said about the doll:

"As the title says, this is not a joke. Now we are not saying that this is an evil doll that her head is going to spin around and vomit pea soup. But at least 8 - 9 times in the past year, we have come into our store to find her somewhere other than the shelf she belongs on. Usually in the middle of an aisle in a part of the store where she doesn't belong. And even one day manage to fall (jump) off the shelf in the middle of the day. Which is a pretty big thing being that our shelves are 18" deep and she leans up against the wall. The last two times happened one day apart just a few days back. My wife and I arrived to open the store in the morning, there the doll was again, laying on the floor in the doorway. We got into an all day long discussion of how often one of us finds her on the floor to return her back on her shelf. Did not realize the other finds her out of place just as much. So that night we decided to bury her under a pile of other dolls so there would be no mistaking where she should be come morning. The next morning I arrived alone and walking past the doll shelf I noticed one of the dolls we placed on top was almost falling off the shelf. To my amazement "The Doll " wasn't on the shelf. It almost looked like she pushed her way out. At this point I'm totally freaked out and start looking for her. It didn't take me long to find her, I found her laying on the cash register. The register was turned on with the numbers 6913. I always shut off my register at night. You can believe or not but I no longer want the doll and do not want her back. No returns."


So, if you feel like a little danger in your life, Click here and buy this Doll!



Thanks

  The Power Of Ouija Boards – Real Or Fake?
Real or Not, I Love This Stuff!
By Dorraine Fisher

Hmmm.
Check out this video. The man claims to have poltergeist activity when he summons it from his Ouija board.
I’ve always been really curious about Ouija boards, but I’ve never had any strange personal experiences with them. It does seem really easy for kids to pull pranks on each other with these things. They’ve been doing it since 1891.

But who knows?

After the Spiritualist Movement of that time that took place during and shortly after the American Civil War in 1865 and beyond, Americans had lost so many of their loved ones to the war, that séances and attempts to talk to the dead became a popular pastime in America. First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln, was known to have held regular séances at the White House. It was quite an accepted practice for many years. But the so-called mediums used more “complicated” equipment devoid of the Ouija board we know,  or preferred to summon spirits while in a trance. And, incidentally, many of them were exposed as frauds.

And the country settled down a bit, but the movement wouldn’t die completely.

In 1886, The New York Daily Tribune announced a new “talking board” with the alphabet, numbers, yes, no, good evening, and good night, along with the raised pointer. It looked more like the Ouija board we know today, but it wasn’t quite there yet.

And in 1891, The Kennard Novelty Company was manufacturing and selling talking Ouija boards as toys to children and adults alike.  Later, a man named William Fuld, who worked for Kennard, took over the board’s manufacturing, and created his own style of board finally called the Ouija, which he explained was the combining of the French and German words for yes. And the name has stuck ever since. Later the manufacture of the boards was taken over by Parker Brothers and eventually, Hasbro, that holds the patent to this day which is still Fuld’s design.

The Ouija’s so-called “power” was said to be based on a phenomena first described by a scientist named Benjamin Carpenter who wrote a scientific paper on the subject and theorized that muscular movement can often happen independent of conscious thought.

Maybe he was right, but we may never know.  And since then, people have made all kinds of claims about the power these boards hold. And there have also been a lot of pranks going on with them too.

So check out this video and see what you think. Real or fake?

The History Channel's CRYPTID: THE SWAMP BEAST

The bayous of Southern Louisiana are home to some of the planet's most rugged and unforgiving terrain.  And hidden deep within these swampy confines lie many of America's oldest mysteries and bone-chilling legends.  With its ancient Indian burial grounds and above ground cemeteries, the area has always teemed with eerie sightings.  In recent years however, there has been a dramatic uptick in strange occurrences, many of them attributed to a legendary werewolf-like creature known as the Rougarou.   In History's newest narrative series, residents of a small bayou town must face their darkest fears when something unknown begins to attack, leading to panic and hysteria.  When it's believed the culprit is possibly the Rougarou, or Bigfoot of the bayou, the townsfolk will use whatever means necessary, including the dark arts, to ward off the evil.  An American folktale comes to life with the story of CRYPTID: THE SWAMP BEAST.

Tomorrow (10/22/13) is the release date for the movie The Conjuring. I did a review of the film (found Here) if you want my take on it. I think most do not realize the movie is base on real events. So I wanted to share this information graphic with everyone. Click this link to buy The Conjuring.


Info about the Warrens and The Conjuring

Some pretty interesting stuff. The Warrens do have some critics of course but that seems to come with anyone in the paranormal field.

I hope you will give The Conjuring a watch, it was a good movie.

Thanks

We recently took a trip to ride the train at Big South Fork Railway in Stearns, Ky.
We captured a strange orb like thing on two different cameras and I wanted to share the video.


It was about a 2 hour train ride. This was an old mining camp and at one point you go into a very small tunnel. We captured something just as we were going into the tunnel. Could it be a ghost orb from some long dead miner or railroad worker or is it just a bug? I really can't say for sure but wanted to share the video.
Thanks
