Thanks for visiting our site. I also hypothesize that there is a correlation between those that experience ASMR and those that are"in-tune" with the paranormal. I'll be contacting the ASMR facebook page so maybe we can do an unofficial poll.

Thanks for posting this! It's unfortunate that more people don't feel ASMR, but I do wonder if there is a correlation between people who experience the paranormal and those who experience ASMR.

Outside of the sheer fact of its own existence, this "news sheet" from 1561 is not supported anywhere in history prior to WWII. You see it was cleverly faked and planted after WWII by a man adept at this type of chicanery, (he concocted the Abelard Reuchelin/Piso Christ document, and the Helen Peters "Union Jack" expose of British Israel Theology, both available to read online free) a Jesuit named Revilo P Oliver, (ostensibly a racist american boor) who was doing secret work for the USA during said war (true story). He was Francis Parker Yockey's handler and mentor and also Timothy McVeigh's (Murrah fame) He also set up the Fascist secret "Gladio" sleeper cells that still exist in Europe to this day.

These flying objext look like today's "Big Black Delta's" . To build up the belief in "Flying Objects" was a strategy doveloped in those years and still a current project up to this day. I think the "Agency" wants the people to belive they can travel thru time now (they cant). You find me one place this "newssheet" was supported in history outside of its own existence, because you wont. Mark my words they might be proved true . . .One day

Touche? It's true that scientists once thought they had proof the world was flat. That has been proven to be false. But science is constantly evolving and dispelling old "facts" for updated new ones. As such, I do believe that one day science will begin to accept paranormal phenomena as true once they start to understand quantum theory and the theory of the tenth dimension in greater detail. As for my writing, I try to use a wide vocabulary when writing, as it supplements my speaking in person.

Finally, I leave you with a famous researcher who questioned the spiritual side of paranormal phenomena: Harry Houdini.

Joanne DuPonte — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:32:23 -0000

AH Matthew you are correct we should stop meeting like this lol. I believe I agreed with you that I do think that the paranormal field has way to many "orb groupies" and people who want to believe that everything is paranormal. Well i will first say unless it is something they are presenting to a horrified family and saying look at this picture your house must possess a demon, instead of maybe suggesting a good house cleaner, than yes it is dangerous. But who are they harming by heading into a cemetery and capturing some bugs and wanting to believe they got something. Dont get me wrong I could spend hours online laughing at pictures people are presenting as evidence, but as long as it is not at the expense of a poor family in need of help, well then its there hobby and choice to believe what they want. To be honest, when we are asked to investigate a house for a scared family, we prefer to not investigate at all. We simple come in and conduct our cleansing and make whatever is there leave. Why do they need evidence of something they have been living in fear of for months. Even if I caught the best Class A EVP, is it actually ethical of me to present it to the family to just scare them more. IF the need is help, evidence is not necessary, unless you are looking for the notoriety of it all, which is not what the paranormal field should be about. Faith and a belief in something is very powerful, so if they believe that the moon is a UFO (AHH that poor old man who called 911) by making them feel ashamed or bad about what they believe to be true has nothing but a negative effect on a persons self esteem and then they find themselves questioning everything they always believed to be true. Throwing out a number like 99% is also not very "Scientific" of you. You can not just choose a number and call it fact, can you? oh and you lost me with all the big words too by the way it kind of read like Chinese to me. But with that being said, I hate t be the one to burst anyones bubble but the paranormal field was, is and will continue to be a spiritual field. No true scientist will ever take the paranormal as a serious scientific study. Its just the way it is. It also lets me leave you with my favorite scientific BOOYAKA...I understand you have these big words that you say need to exist for something to be paranormal, but there was a time when Scientist had PROOF the world was flat...and that my new friend is a spiritual "BOOYAKA"......

Re: Psychics, Mediums, Empaths: The Good, The Bad, and The Quantum

Joanne DuPonte — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:05:08 -0000

Thank you for your reply Matthew. I would like to start out by saying that I enjoy debate and, I guess the young ins call it blogging LOL, so never are my intentions in any replies meant to be taken as an insult or an attack. Just enjoy reading others thoughts and, when possible, giving an alternate view or theory I guess, which gives us both something to ponder. I am a strong advocate for any kind of Scientific Investigating. I think sometimes when people find out we are a spiritual team first, they picture us out in the field with a halo of daisies in our hair trying to conjure up Janis Joplin. I just like to remind people that mediums, spiritualists, or whatever you want to call them have been doing cleansings and communicating with spirits since ancient times. It wasn't until the early 1800's that anyone ever tried to capture evidence scientifically, and even then that was not taken very seriously. It has not been since the last decade or so that the "Technical" ghost hunters have emerged in full force. And I apologize if I maybe misunderstood your meaning behind your opening statement, but it is the mind set of many. Its true, a lot of fake fame whores claiming to be psychics (which is a word I hate by the way, i always picture the old lady on the beach wanting to read my palm) who have tarnished the truly amazing gift that some people possess. How many "daddy's girls" can say that on occasion they get a message from their father who passed containing information only him and her shared. Only a truly pure soul with no ill will or selfish intentions can truly bare such a gift. But they are out there. And ever since reality TV took over the paranormal its like a whole new entity. Yes it has helped in the sense that people are no longer afraid to go out in search of help for fear of ridicule, but it brought a whole mess on skeptics to a place run by the spirituals, and for most with their only intention of making them look like a fraud. I just think that to be a true believer in the paranormal (unless your reason for being in the field is to prove its a crock) and not have the utmost respect and be humbled by people who can actually send and receive messages from the very place you want to capture evidence from just seems counterproductive for all.

On a side note your fiance being an eclectic witch very much intrigues me. It something I do not know much about..I would like to learn more about that.

Oh and for reference if you would like to be curious and see some of our c redentials and what we stand for our team is CALLED ECLIPSE And can be found on facebook under E.C.L.I.P.S.E. or our website at www.eclipseparanormalteam.tk . We have for awhile stopped posting much evidence or case studies due to unnecessary bashing by ignorant people. We dont do this to impress anyone, and the ones who need us know where and how to find us. We have nothing to prove. What we have done and the people we have helped speaks for itself. We also just agreed to take be the directors for the CNHPS NH Chapter so we are around.

Thank you again for your response.

Joanne, we meet again. Haha. I try not to be ignorant, and you may be somewhat correct about my close mindedness on this subject, but you have to admit that their is a lot of disinformation our there regarding orb photos and camera straps. Again, I challenge you to go to a random paranormal site and not find photos submitted as proof, that are really nothing more than dust, bugs, fog, or smoke.

In order to truly submit a photo for proof, one MUST have environmental data to back it up. Humidity, temperature, photos in different angles, solar activity, and barometric data are important to a photo's credibility. Finally, EXIF data from the photo should be included.

Again, this site is about promoting acceptance across a wide range of people. I personally don't want hundreds of people to believe that every "orb" in their photo album is a ghost. This is dangerous and damaging to the field of paranormal research.

Re: Psychics, Mediums, Empaths: The Good, The Bad, and The Quantum

Matthewherch — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:54:51 -0000

Thank You Joanne, if you don't mind me using your first name. Personally, I actually do believe in the power of psychics and mediums; if I didn't, you surely would not have saw this post at all. With that said, after re-reading my opening paragraph, I can see how my wording says otherwise. I will immediately changed 'many' to 'some'. You see, my personal belief is not in a supreme being, but a supreme force as real as Gravity that instigates intelligent hauntings, demons, and other paranormal phenomena. This universal oneness is also like a repository for human consciousness and the 'spirit.' The problem with bringing this belief into the field is that as a primarily research oriented group, we need to have quantifiable evidence. Now this does not mean that we simply shun families who are having terrible encounters with the paranormal. On the contrary, we will work closely with other, more experienced paranormal groups who may be able to perform rituals to assist the family.

Our reason for choosing scientific format is firstly because of my background as a computer technician. I was writing research papers in the sixth grade on hauntings and paranormal phenomena, long before any "reality" ghost hunters shows were even thought of. Actually, I quite despise these shows because of their inaccuracy and dramatization. I realize that they must get ratings, but most go overboard.

My second reason for choosing a scientific format is that my fiance is an eclectic witch. She balances our group with a spiritual view on every situation.

My final reason for choosing a scientific format is to promote acceptance of paranormal theories and events across the world. I challenge you to go look at a random paranormal oriented website and not feel creeped out by the imagery, Many paranormal groups use "halloweeny" images and scary sounds on their sites, which promotes fear among the public. We are trying to do the opposite. By refusing to use scary, off-putting imagery and wording, we can promote investigation into the unknown instead of fear. In doing this, we hope that people will become more open to the possibilities and less fearful.

Finally, if there was any wording in the post that may have seemed insensitive or too scientific, please email me or respond back to this. I'd love to hear more input. Perhaps I can write a part 2 that delves further into the field and explains a bit more.

Thanks Joanne, for your input and for reading my humble little blog.

Being the GF of a well respected Clairvoyant Medium in the paranormal field and being the co-director of a paranormal team requested by numerous teams all over New England for our assistance in cleansing houses of unwanted entities, I can tell you that you can very easily qualify a mediums abilities. I will first say that, you are correct there are WAY more sensitives who claim to possess stronger abilities than they actually have which then gives true mediums a bad name. Here's your test...grab your medium and drive as far and as long as you want and take him to a location he knows nothing about. No name, no timeline, nothing and then sit back and let him tell you the story of that location. I guarantee you experience that just once and you will be forever humbled. I also should add that you have some facts backwards. The psychics and mediums did not come out to latch onto the paranormal craze for profit. A true Spiritualist with true gifts would NEVER charge to help another person. That is a good way of slowly losing the strengths of your gifts. Just ask John Edwards...oh right where is he, hes back to private readings and assistance because as fame took over he started finding his abilities were lacking. They are called a gift for a reason, misuse them and lose them. But before the CRAZE the paranormal field was made up of ONLY spiritual people such as mediums and clergymen and demonologist. It wasn't till the craze that Electricians could no longer find EMF meters the needed to do their job. Dont get me wrong we are a spiritual team and assisting people in need is our main priority but we do investigate for fun and we bring along all the same equipment as "Technical" teams to capture evidence. We work hard to debunk all we find and conduct our review of the case like any other team we just have the ability to know if its worth listening to 3 hours of a digital recorder to find there was nothing there. We know before we start if there is the possibility that something was there that might have wanted to communicate. So again the paranormal field was a spiritualists field first, they did not ride in on the coat tails and should not now be treated like the quirky sidekick. Techies road in for the fame. And I do have to pose one last question to you....If you enter a house, set up all your expensive fancy scientific equipment and DO catch evidence of the haunting that has been torturing this family for months...Which one of your fancy Scientific gems do you use to help this family finally find peace?

Joanne — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:57:31 -0000

i think its a great article, but my opinion is there is never anything you can always prove even 99% of the time. I am all for debunking and do feel there are way to many investigators that think any speck on the lens is paranormal. But by saying anyone that believes different than you is ignorant is actually kind of ignorant. Unless you have solid proof that everything captured is something else and can physically show it, is that just you making you own assumption also.

Great Article!! We definitely need this info out there. I've come across so many people that swears they see spirit faces in photos when I know it's just the shadow shades or lighting. Perfect example in photo I posted...It's just a combination of reflections, but people swear it's a "ghost" in the mirror.
