The Venetian Theatre Hillsboro (Wikipedia)

While the audience watched the closing minutes of “Death of a Salesman” in The Venetian Theatre’s auditorium Saturday night, a team of paranormal investigators set up equipment, hoping to capture a performance of a different sort.

Greg Gieler, co-leader Chris York and 10 other members of Rain City Paranormal planned to spend the night in the darkened building, watching for a sign from any of the spirits that may lurk in the refurbished theater and bistro at 253 Main St.

Know the Weather

If you have an outdoor investigation you need to know how to dress.

Humidity is a key factor due to excessive water vapor in the air which may give false positive photos. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount possible at a given temperature. Air with a relative humidity of 50% is holding half the total amount of water vapor it is capable of holding at that temperature.

Oh boy, this is tough because I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book but at the same time was left extremely frustrated with the close of the final page. Interdimensional Universe: The New Science of UFOs, Paranormal Phenomena and Otherdimensional Beings by Philip Imbrogno suggests that the reader will be getting some new information on this phenomena. Well, unfortunately that’s just not the case. Other than a few pages on the recent developments with quantum physics and string theory, much of the book discusses theories that were put forth years ago by guys like John Keel and Jacques Vallee. So if your familiar with this theoretical direction, you know there’s no nuts and bolts to be heard of. Which at the same time, is exactly why I picked this book up.

Don't expect George Washington's ghost

This is a short and to the point one. For those that are starting out in this field there is a lot you need to learn and understand before you actually go out and do a case. Today’s article is just another point that I think needs to be made to all of the “newbie’s” out there. Simply put “Do not expect anything to happen.”

If you go into an investigation expecting to see the ghost of George Washington or just Aunt Emma, you are bound to be disappointed. Most of the time paranormal investigators are sitting around waiting and waiting and waiting. The paranormal activity doesn’t begin just because an investigator is present. If you go in expecting nothing to be there and for nothing to be paranormal then you won’t be disappointed.

American Theatre in Cherokee (Chronicle Times}

DES MOINES – On May 2, 2009, Mid-Iowa Paranormal came back to investigate the American Theatre in Cherokee after having great experiences from the last investigation almost a year ago on June 20, 2008. Mid-Iowa Paranormal, founded by Robert Sinclair, has been the first paranormal investigations team to investigate the building.

The American Theatre was built in 1920 by Barry Sisk and Walter James, but they ran out of finances before being able to open the building. In 1923, Dale Goldie purchased the building from a sheriff’s auction and opened the theatre in 1925. His wife, Hazel worked in the ticket booth for the majority of her life. The basement of the building was used to store civil defense supplies, and those supplies are still there in entirety in large barrels.

Drum Barracks Civil War Museum

The Drum Barracks Civil War Museum was the former US Army Headquarters for Southern California and the Arizona Territory from 1861-1871. It is housed in the last remaining wooden building of Camp Drum. First called Camp Drum, it was named after Richard Coulter Drum. The building was set for demolition in the early 1960’s, but local citizens campaigned together to save and open the historic building as a museum in 1987.

Paranormal Credibility

Are you afraid to tell your family and friends that you are interested in ghosts and conducting ghost investigations? Are you tired of psychologists and psychiatrists saying that every person who thinks they see a ghost needs therapy and drugs, or is on drugs? Are you tired of mainstream science saying there is no such thing as ghosts and they will never accept ghost research or parapsychology as a real science? That’s why it’s so important to maintain credibility in this type of subjective and uncertain field of research.
