Ghost Hunting
Enjoy The Ghost Hunting Experience

The upsurge in popularity for ghost hunting and the paranormal in general has been spurred on by the massive number of reality shows and films that are made based on this same topic. Viewers are invited to witness paranormal goings on in various locations, some of them seemingly innocent and some of them steeped in local lore and carrying paranormal reputations. This popularity has spread out of the living room and away from the TV into the shape of amateur and professionally arranged ghost hunting trips.

The Location

Ghost hunting events tend to take place around historical buildings and locations because these are the ones with the longest history. Dungeons, castles, and even nuclear bunkers are also popular because of the atrocities and incidents that are believed to have occurred in them in the past.

Paranormal Weekends

As well as trips that last a couple of hours, it is also possible to enjoy paranormal weekends that give you a real insight into the paranormal goings on in a particular location. Weekends like this can also include some elements of education and learning the art of ghost hunting making them even more involved and informational.

The Guide

When choosing a ghost hunting event to go on, choosing one with a knowledgeable and skilful guide is also an important factor in ensuring that you get the most from the experience. Proper ghost hunting is an applied science and some of the best proponents have been studying the paranormal for ten, twenty, or even more years.

Corporate Entertainment And Events

As well as individuals and groups that are inquisitive of the paranormal, ghost hunting experiences can prove an excellent way to offer something unusual for a corporate event. Overnight investigations are especially popular and typically take place in some of the most haunted locations in the UK.

Memorable Parties And Occasions

Ghost hunting has become incredibly popular in recent years and not just on TV and in films, but for parties, experiences, and corporate events. Make any party, event, or occasion extra special and more memorable with a ghost hunting experience or a paranormal weekend.

Barack Obama told CBS, “There are certain people in our popular culture that just capture people’s imaginations. And in death, they become even larger,”

There is a new spirit in the form of a ghost among us, and not just any spirit it’s the ghost of Michael Jackson. Hundreds of millions of fans prepares and bid emotional farewell to the “King of Pop”. In Los Angeles fans lined up in droves to be a part of a “star-studded” memorial of his tragic death. Michale Jackson still may have something else in mind before he finally leaves us.

Extraordinary people seem to always have a way of communicating with us.

Even before the memorial was over the spirit of Michale Jackson popped up in the national scene for everyone to view and although we all have inquiring minds it’s unbelievable, still the unadulterated truth remains. The ghost was caught on tape from one of the largest networks in the world but one sighting was noticed by a small yet renowned, local award winning production company “Copperpoint Comm.(CC)”.

One sighting was shown during a Larry King interview and another, July 3rd while watching an NBC-Dateline broadcast “Remember the Time”, CC caught a picture and took a video of the ghost of Michel Jackson, they were astounded and sent them around. “I didn’t see it at first,” said owner K. Ohara “My editor did. Once she showed me it was clear”. Being an editor it was natural she would be the first to see it, editors have a keen eye for this these type of filming phenomenons.

Ghost and spirits are not easy to capture on tape and it’s more likely to be a timing issue, snap that shot one second too early and the ghost of Michale Jackson isn’t there one second to late it’s gone. This was not your normal ghost, it appeared long enough to be caught on video, imagine that Now some of us firmly believe in ghosts while some of us need more proof and there’s those who cast doubt in the face of evidence and science, but we still all share a common knowledge of spirits that return or never leave us, that is they usually are here due to untidy affairs. The ghost of Michael Jackson may be no different than any other ghosts but it’s likely that just like the superstar the ghost of Michael Jackson may also have super qualities and a message. Is Michael Jackson attempting to show us something through his spirit. Like they said at his funeral he’ll live forever and ever and ever and ever….It was said at his memorial “he’ll live forever and ever and ever and ever”…. he probably will. This was a sad day for all.

“To be uplifted and by such a great soul I believe in my heart he will live forever”.LP

My first attempt at "ghost" photography. I know it is a little "dark", but I’m just toying around with something new. You have to love Photoshop!

Question by Variant7: What is the scariest ghost footage you’ve ever seen?
I used to love watching television shows about ghosts and the paranormal. I remember about 10 years ago there was a show on MTV called Fear, where some college-aged students would go ghost-hunting. Also, there were some other interesting shows which I forgot the name, something like “America’s Scariest Places”. And more recently, there’s the show TAPS.

So, I’m just curious what’s the scariest ghost or paranormal footage you’ve seen?

For me, it was one of the shows where a young group was ghost-hunting in like a dark basement of an old mental institution. When they walked by a doorway, they looked in with their cameras and saw an old filing cabinet – then, the drawer of the filing cabinet creaked and opened on it’s own. Then, some white form briefly and quickly floated across the doorway which the camera caught on film. The young ghost-hunters were totally scared and freaked out. I would be too – being in the dark basement of an old abandoned and supposedly haunted insane asylum and experiencing something like that – yikes!

Give your answer to this question below!

There’s rumor of an ancient story of the privateer Dash, which was lost in a gale in 1815 off the coast of Maine. Since her disappearance, she has been sighted multiple times — plain as day with her name visible on the hull. A 17-crew fishing vessel reported seeing her and the most recent sighting was during World War II. Ships doesn’t care whether it’s day time or nighttime as she sails freely in life and in death with all those aboard who are still part of her.

There are more famous ghostly ship and sea stories like The USS Hornet, and in Long Beach, California “The Queen Mary” in which my father (Hans Holzer) investigated long before investigators of today. He said that there were “psychic imprints from the past,” which were not personalities but had unfinished business on their ‘minds.’  Two cases of authentic ghosts have never been laid to rest. In 1966, a young crewman named, John Pedder, was accidentally crushed to death in doorway #13 during a routine water tight door drill. His ghost has frequently been observed and described in great detail by security guards and visitors. 

The sightings of the late Mr. Pedder are consistent with one another; appearances are usually preceded by a loud sound, described by one night watchman as “metal rolling quickly toward me.”  Another ghost appears in blue-grey overalls in Shaft Alley, the hallway leading to the propeller shafts of the great ship. He has been sighted many times; always in overalls and sporting a long black beard. The swimming pool has also been the subject of mysterious accounts where many believe it is the ship’s most haunted area. The sound of swimmers playing and splashing around has been heard on many occasions when the pool was empty. Sometimes wet footprints appear on the deck, where no-one has walked. 

The most interesting phenomenon is in this area, however, is in the dressing “boxes” adjacent to the pool. One dressing room has been identified as a portal for psychic phenomena. Today many Field Investigators for the Paranormal reared many disembodied voices in the pool, one of a little girl reminding us how precious life is. This Veterans Day please take a moment in silence, take a breath in and be thankful for them and your given freedoms.
