Ever notice?


While watching paranormal television, did you ever notice that no matter what color of hair people have in the daylight that everyone is Blond(e) on IR©? Literally.

I have.

Further, I noticed that the majority of paranormal research, especially as it is portrayed on television, follows an assumption based investigation model. And you know what happens when you assume...

Please pay attention to the next television show that you watch or the next investigation that you conduct. Did you assume? Bet you did. Did you acknowledge the assumption before formulating a conclusion? Bet you didn’t. I know I am guilty of it.

Guess that makes us all figuratively Blond(e) on IR©.

What I need to do right now (and I would love if you do the same) is take a step back and test as many assumptions that means will allow.

I expect to post my experiments and findings here. Please contact me with any research you have completed.

And yes, I am a blonde.

Illusions or Paranormal?

I had the pleasure of attending the Magic Castle with some great people. As Ed (my “prom date” on the right of the group photo below) said, “Growing up in Southern California you hear rumors of the Magic Castle. It is like the Bigfoot of LA.”

Although I have been reading a great deal, the epiphany came while on the adventure at Magic Castle. How many “paranormal” photographs are illusion? Angle, lighting and perspective can all play into creating something that is not real.

It just got me thinking……

It is coming!

To borrow an expression from my friend, Kathy-----Squeeee!

We are getting ready for experiment number two!

I’ll order the first set of equipment next week. About month after that, we will be ready to ROCK!!

A special thanks to Michelle and Chris for helping with the EVP trials. We hope to report, if not publish, our findings this summer.

Firehouse and Jail Museum

DSC03254It was not my first Jailhouse investigation (I have been to Mansfield and a few others). This was my first Firehouse investigation.

(From the Covina City website) Built in 1911, the firehouse-jail was the first civic building in the City of Covina. It now houses the Covina Firehouse/Jail Museum, located adjacent to City Hall at 125 East College Street. It is open every Sunday, except holidays, from 1 to 3 pm and by appointment. It is staffed by volunteers with the Covina Valley Historical Society, who guide tours and answer questions. Find the whole write up here. You can read about the Covina Fire Department here.

I can’t wait to review the audio.

I  did not capture any anomalies in my photos. Here are some of the nice, little  site. Photos also from Ed, Cory, Terrie and Teri.

 

We had a very good time….
