EVP : Voices from the "Other Side"
Mankind has long believed that it is possible
to communicate with the dead. Attempts to do so have been made over the

The Scariest Games
©2007 About. Inc
We don’t usually think of games when we consider the paranormal. The
paranormal is something to be investigated, researched and taken seriously,

even the various paranormal-themed action and role-playing computer games
available. We’re talking about the games that are played in the dark of night
that truly ca...
PsychodramaAnthony North: There is a problem with much of the paranormal in that we rely too much on classic interpretations. This is not to say that these interpretations may not be true, but that understanding can better be achieved by a radical overhaul of terms.The poltergeist is a perfect example.

Poltergeists
The 'traditional' or non-SGHA Ghost Hunter
still believes the turn of the century myth that poltergeist activity are caused
by hormonal reactions of a young female having psychological problems. This
turn of the century belief has never been proven nor is it accepted by those of
us in SGHA.
