Finding Hope In The Afterlife

There are so many self-proclaimed “experts” in the paranormal and afterlife research fields that I’ve had to ask myself what makes someone an expert? In most other research fields, getting a Ph.D., joining a lab, spending years researching, gathering evidence, forming conclusions, and having a peer review done with the findings published is what truly qualifies someone as an expert. But there really is no such thing in the paranormal and ITC (Instrumental Trans Communication) fields. There is no accredited ghost school one can attend. There is a branch of psychology known as parapsychology defined as the investigation of psychic phenomena, telepathy, and the like, but someone would have to become a psychologist. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have the grades to go that route. Even though I’m no expert, I am someone who has spent countless hours conducting different sessions and experiments in controlled and uncontrolled environments. I’ve made many mistakes but learned from those mistakes, and the amount of time I’ve spent in the field, gathering evidence with repeatable results makes me somewhat qualified to comment on this subject matter. The fact that many of my sessions have produced true validations for people regarding their deceased loved ones makes what I do very real. I get real results, and that makes me effective at what I do. But what keeps mainstream science from accepting my findings is that even though I have to be objective with my research, I also need to use a good amount of intuition, which is very unscientific. By going on investigations with other people, talking to members of other groups along with psychics and mediums all over the country, I found that people like to stick to what they know. True ghost hunters may ask psychics to come along on investigations, but ghost hunters always tend to be more skeptical and trust the gear and gadgets they use more. They’re also more inclined to think something evil is present, I’ve found. With a psychic or medium, they normally trust their ability and steer clear of using any kind of equipment. Most times, psychics and mediums also state up front that they don’t deal with dark entities. So, where’s the happy middle? Being able to intuitively connect to a spirit in order to communicate with them through a device is very important, and I will delve into that topic even more in the next chapter. Using a device that can give a spirit a voice without using our intuition isn’t as effective, I found. But using such a device and utilizing one’s psychic ability truly completes the experience, and in my opinion, the two need to be married. It’s not easy, though, and I understand why more people don’t do it. I had to experiment at first and see what would work for me. In the beginning, it was just a simple voice recorder and hacked radio that skips through stations. But then it led to using more advanced boxes and techniques. With that had to come the development of my psychic ability that allowed me to capture better evidence. When you say that to a true person of science, they don’t accept it. But to capture great evidence, one has to be able to tap into that unseen energy. A wise man used to tell me, “The best piece of paranormal equipment we need to utilize is ourselves.” I’ve always said when someone tries to discount a software application or a box I use, I tell them, if I’m able to ask questions repeatedly and receive intelligent and relevant responses, then it’s working. Therefore, I will experiment with unconventional methods that draw controversy from typical paranormal researchers. People that were using basic spirit boxes like the PSB7 early on thought the spirits used specific words from the radio broadcast to answer our questions. They also thought the more white noise or static the box had, the better the replies. But my research, along with Steve Huff’s, has proven the opposite. In fact, the static hurts our chances of capturing better responses, and we discovered it wasn’t the actual words they were using from the radio broadcast. We found the spirits were taking the random bits and pieces of the broadcast and manipulating the audio to form their own responses. We knew this to be true when they would reply with specific words like our names when asked. The chances of my name coming up on any of those stations at that moment were damn near impossible. Not to mention the box runs with a scan rate of 150 milliseconds, so any true response will pan across three or four different stations. Meaning it’s impossible for the same word, like my name, to be coming from four different radio stations at once. Another great example of how these responses were not false positives was when profanity would come through. We knew that cursing wouldn’t be allowed on any radio stations and wouldn’t be coming through.
