Is A Place Haunted Or Cursed?

I would think that every foot of the earth is haunted. But, why is it that we don't see hoards of ghosts wondering around. Or, is it that a certain places are just plain cursed? Some people during life have a miserable time alive. That, I think, hauntings are just a continuation on death their misery. And, the place where they last lived their days capture the misery of the persons soul. This is just another theory. Believe me, there are many high strung people out there. I believe it wont end when their dead. Not by a long shot. If you notice, it's the energy that they carried might be what is the answer to why spirits exist? I think if a person has an understand about "life" they can die a peaceful death. And, move on. If there are several spirits haunting the same place. It's just the general "vibe" your picking up of these people during their lives living there. In that particular place. And, still living on in the problems and hard lives they had when they were alive living there. What spirit would go back a do a "residual" haunt? It's the "stress" while alive that keeps them coming back again, and again. It's sad when you think about it that way. I believe when people investigate a place. You have the responsibility to help these poor souls rest. By a prayer and tell them it's ok to move on. It's a kind of mean to leave them that way. Forever.

Do Ghosts Travel? Where Is Their Luggage?

Always heard a ghost "follows" a person. Or, a person had died in one place. But, shows up in another place? Or, does "it" follow an object? Very confusing? Which is it!
If a person's soul stays were they died. The the hospitals will be filled "up the kazoo" with ghosts. Can ghost really, truly, travel? Overseas, different states. Can they really jump around like that? What happens when the living moves? How can their deceased loves one know where they went?
And, can psychics really "call" a spirit to travel to them? All these questions are really never brought up in the paranormal shows, or recent books. And, why is it that some spirits just can't get out of a place? Another words, stuck. I did read somewhere that someone asked, "Why isn't the world swamped with spirits? Where do they go?". Very good question!
Me, personally, I believe that a spirit would first would like to be around a loved one. And, then you would have the other kind of spirit that the person went through a terrible experience when still alive. But, I also believe that they do leave sooner or later. Now, that's the part of the question I can't answer for myself. Where do they go?

Jason and Grant at Ft. Mifflin. And, Beyonce is Next Door!

Just had to add this. So, today I wanted to know what else we can do other then go to the "shore". Or, just for me, Atlantic City. Found out Jason and Grant of TAPS is at Ft. Mifflin, PA tonight, tomorrow, Sunday (I believe). But, get this! For $20.75 I can see Beyonce sitting in the boondocks. OR, spent $265.00 to go to Ft. Mifflin (by the way, it's sold out, try Craigslist). It's rainy, and no air conditioning. Now,let me see, which would I rather go to (deep thinking, now). BEYONCE! And, grab a Hoagie at Tony Luke's. Woo Hoo!

Michael Jackson and Voodoo? Strange, huh!

Heard of his passing yesterday. It's a little sad for me. Was just listening to his music the other day. The "music" was so much a part of my younger years of my life. He will be sorely missed!
But, in keeping in the theme of my blog. Not many people knew of his involvement with Voodoo? Yes, I know what your thinking. He was involved in this too? On top of every strange stories of his life. Yes, he was. In an article in Vanity Fair, April 2003 they wrote about his "odd" behaviors. One being that in 2000 Jackson went to Switzerland for a Voodoo ritual. He paid $150,000 to have Steven Spielburg and David Geffen with 23 other people "to die" to which 42 cows were sacrificed for the ceremony. And, in another ceremony he had a "blood bath" ritual cleansing which he was involved in using sheep's blood. And, more money was spent, close to a million dollars. This is going back to all my past posts talking about people doing "spells". People find this so hard to believe. But, yes, they do. As funny and weird as it maybe. And, much more then people realize. It's a big business.
So, as strange as we thought MJ was. He was a fantastic and talented man. No doubt about it. So, again, thank you so much for the great music you gave the world. Thanks!

Catholicism, Very Mystical Indeed!

Remember this is my take on the subject. But, to a lot of people they see Catholics like a big mystery. And, it is! Still learning after all these years. Judaism is not far behind. The prayers, robes, symbols and more. Why we see the "occult" as being so much from left field is something I still don't understand. The bread and blood of Christ is wafers and wine we must take internally. A symbol. Candles for novenas. To insure your prayers will work and a blessing for you. Confessionals, to relieve ourselves of our sins. Incense, for cleansing. Special medals, a material ones like scapulars made of different colors. And, to have them blessed by a priest. Carry cards with prayers on them for luck.
But, there are some oddball beliefs in this too. Like, you would see statues of the Virgin Mary in front of houses. Even with a light on them. To some people this is because when a prayer of theirs worked. They promised to but the statue outside for everyone to see. Some people, if a prayer didn't work. Might bury the statue of St. Anthony upside down in their front yard. Others have to make the sign of the cross every time they pass a church or cemetery. Some women still wear a hat or lace to church. At one time we had to all do this before entering. And, still others eat fish on Friday's. This is another thing we no longer have to do. But, we have Lent. The fasting. We celebrate Christ rising from the dead every Easter. So, why do we see the paranormal or occult with all the rituals and beliefs so very odd? I don't, to me they are all the same. From all the religions that are out there. Yup, their all the same to me.

Occult/Mystic Shops. Don't Be Afraid To Visit.

Some people will find this hard to believe in this day and age. But, people still cast spells. If you go to Barnes and Noble there is a whole section of books right under people's noses. And, they also sell Tarot Cards. Yes, really! But, don't play with this stuff unless you read it and respect it carefully. There are shops all over the place that sells supplies for the spells. In NYC you have Enchantments, Inc. They will even help you make your rituals together for you with instructions too. Oh, and, they are online too. In Philly you have Harry's Occult Shop. There they do the same and they have readers there as well. There are tons of Botanica's all over the country. They are under many names, and different religions (Voodoo, Santeria, Wicca, etc). But, they can do spells. Black Magic is a totally different ball game. It is what it is. And, it's not good. All these other spells are usually called White Magic. To make someone who's sick better or help to get a job/money. Maybe to get a good husband or wife. Or, to break a black magic spell that someone has put on you. The main spells always use candle. But, there not regular candles they have to be "dressed". And, it's better to have someone else make them for you. They have baths, teas, dust powder, even to spray or mopping liquids to cleanse your house with. Or, just "objects" to carry with you for protection/or health. So, drop in sometime. They don't bite. If they are too pushy to sell you stuff. Walk out. These guys usually leave people alone.

Is There A Right Way To Do A Paranormal Investigation?

Just saw last week's Ghost Adventures. Something very interesting happened. I was at my son's apartment watching the show with him. And, we had a very interesting conversation afterward. We noticed when they were using the thermal image camera they scanned the desert outside the mission where they were investigating. And, they saw an image of a "person" with no legs in the center of the desert. So, me and my son both came to the same conclusion; an entity doesn't need energy to materialize. I've seen this before in other paranormal shows. They always say you need electricity, batteries, equipment, limestone, even energy from "live" people. To make it easier for them to form. Really? Ghost have been around since the beginning of time. They have been written about, talked about, since forever. Ghosts are not just seen at night, or when lights are turned off. The majority of people see them in the day. Pictures, security cameras, have taken of them in the daytime. I've had all my personal experiences during the day. So, what does this all mean? And, who created all these guidelines? I personally believe you can throw all this out the window. But, my son bought up some points. He said,"Why don't they have some lights on when investigating. And, even use candles. Like the way people years earlier use to use when walking around at night?" They'll say it's quieter in the evening. But, that's not totally true? A lot of animals roam at night. And, critter crawl indoors in the late evening. Which causes a "different" kinds of noises. Bottom line, there's no right or wrong way. An investigator should ask one main question. When did you have your experience. Night or Day. And, do the investigation when they explained when they had the experience.
