Those are not my words, but like the words out of the book "The Other Side". This book was published in 2006 and instructs one who is interested in doing so, on how to use the tools of Paranormal Investigations to create the same results as the old type Séance parlors.

This was when an individual would request the help of a Medium to contact spirit of a love one who has passed away, maybe the spirit would show their self to make the individual a believer. Individuals would even just request the service of a Medium to do a Séance for just the experience, to make contact with and for proof of a Spirit world.

I am not an Investigator, but it is not that hard to see how Paranormal Investigations today is like a modern version of the old time Séance. The old time Mediums had their tools of the trade that would help in proving that Spirits are present. Today Paranormal Investigators have their modern tools to create a possible illusion of such Spirits being present.

A) - Investigators attempt to get spirits to talk to them by way of EVPs. Some Investigators will even attempt to communicate with spirits and by use of tools like a dowsing rods, a pendulum or a tape recorder, the Investigator will attempt to interpret what the spirit is communicating back to the Investigator or those present for the Investigation.

B) - Investigators gather in a small group, in attempt to capture spirits in one way or another, as like the old séances would gather in groups to attempt to contact spirits.

C) - Investigators attempt to have others believe in what they gather is actual facts and details of a haunting or contact with Spirits, as like the old time Mediums would have their tools present to confirm contact with Spirits.

D) - Strange as it is at times, the Team Leader (like a Medium), seems to be the only one who can capture that one and only paranormal super duper prove all photo, no matter how many are in the room taking pictures also of the same location / area at the same time.

E) - The Fox sisters the first to become known world wide for making contact with Spirits, admitted that they were creating the spirits with their ways of doing it, not actually contacting them. The author of The Other Side, also has come out and said how he can do it, but the modern version of doing it.

Strange how things come full circle in many ways, it is just that getting around in that same circle may have changed in the way of doing so, but it still comes around. The funny thing is that in my area some Investigators will call a public place and attempt to have a Séance gathering canceled, by warning the public place that the Séance could raise Spirits that are not wanted. Of course these locations are the same ones that the Paranormal Investigation group is trying to get in to, it's kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

I even tell individuals who go to a Psychic Reader and the reader offers to have the session recorded on a tape recorder, ask to bring your own tape for the reader's tape recorder. If they balk at that, and use their own tape and later you listen to the tape at home, and hear ghostly voices on it while you where having a reading done, you more then likely were fooled by the reader. There is even a not that well known manual in print, that tells how to pull it off. Reason why I allow taping of my readings that I do, but the person that is getting the reading, needs to bring their own recorder and tape, for nothing can be said, other then what was, was. That is why I stay away from any type of tools when I do what I do.

When I or Ursula Bielski and I take paranormal groups out, I will not even take a camera with me to the location. My goal is to have others experience the Spirit / Paranormal world. That is the reason for my Circle of Energy and it usually creates the results for those in the circle, by way of what they actually feel, and for those outside of the circle with what they capture with their camera or EVP's.

That is the reason I always say that what I do, I could do in the nude, as there are no tools involved, just my demonstrations.

No Paranormal Investigators should be upset with this article if they are on the up and up, as your goals should also be to educate individuals on what is going on in the Paranormal Field, and to point out what they may come across that they should question. By doing so it also makes you the legit one and would seem like you have nothing to hide with what your putting in your time to find in the Paranormal field.
