Haunted

Hi folks,

As some may know, and some may not, I work on a "ghost" investigation series up here in Canada. It's not available yet outside of our country, but over the holidays I mashed several half-hour episodes from the second season together that covered one investigative arc at the Queens County Museum in Liverpool, Nova Scotia (we're just heading into our fourth season now). I'm just posting it here by way of saying hello, and in case anyone is interested.

What are the odds with the poker chip? Pretty amazing IMO.

Getting the pipe tossed at me was about as freaky / scary as it gets. I’ve also never seen Holly so out of sorts as she was up in the “Void”. It was a genuinely weird two nights. No answers coming out of it (we don’t do that)... just questions.
 
By the way, I’m curious... because the broadcaster pretty much has let me make the show I want to make, the way I want to make it (you have no idea how rare that is), I’ve made the most non-traditional “”ghost” show I can think of, eschewing the quick cut style of shock and awe used by pretty much everyone else (Ghost Adventures being perhaps the most notorious example) in favour of a more cerebral, experiential personal style. We filmed an entire 8 minute segment once with just me and Holly talking about theories, and linking “ghosts” to work by guys like the late Mac Tonnies. Dillon jokingly refers to me as the Ingmar Bergman of ghost investigating TV directors.

But while we like it, and it seems to play well up here in Canada, I’m curious as to how folks elsewhere react to it. Accordingly, any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcomed and appreciated.

As I've said previously.There's an honesty around your work.I'm dubious about the existence of ghosts and paranormal things generally but am prepared to have my mind changed.I trust that you and your team are taking things seriously and don't go in for fakery of any kind.
The biggest ghost show in the UK is most haunted.It's terrible.If anything real happened it it would be drowned out by the screaming and awful acting.My biggest concern is the ghostbox.Are you convinced it works and isn't just an aural pareidolia device?.
 
I was very skeptical of the ghost box when we started out, and wouldn’t really use it, but it’s slowly become my go-to tool over the past two years. We discount a lot of what we hear, but every now and then something pops through that just can’t be ignored, particularly when it’s tied to something else that’s happening. I think of it as simply a mechanism that indicates to whatever might be out there that you’re willing to engage, and that gives that something the means to interact with you on its own terms.
 
And no, we never fake anything. I would fire anyone on the spot if I ever caught them doing it, but I completely trust our small team.

As for being serious, we take the subject very seriously, but never ourselves. If you can’t have fun while you’re doing it (even if you’re being scared out of your wits), what’s the point? :)

Yes everyone I've seen in your team is likeable and the banter you have works well, without any negative impact in your investigations.Thanks for your thoughts on the ghostbox.Is there a chance of your programmes getting a wider release beyond North America?

I saw an episode or two a long time ago (at least it seems like a long time ago). Either you posted on the Paracast or were a guest on the show and you mentioned it so I checked it out. Your approach to the ghost situation is pretty much the same way you approached the subject of UFO' - with logic & common sense being two big components. I used to say that if the rest of the players involved in the UFO field had your sensibility & approach - we might know something by now. I'd keep doing what you are doing with the ghost show. To me it plays perfectly and it's great to see a show without all the fake drama & smoke & mirrors. I hope you are able to keep making the show for a long time to come :)

We've been so busy with production on several series (only one of which is related to the paranormal - Haunted) and feature films that we just haven't found the time yet to get distribution arranged for the rest of the world. We hope to have that done in the next month or two, however, probably through our Vimeo channel first, and then perhaps through ITunes or Amazon down the road.

Hey Paul, it's been a really busy week for me this week finally have some time to relax, I'm watching your OP video now, I just got to the point of using the ghostbox...

Ghost Box - Voices from Spirits, ETs, Shadow People, & Other Astral Beings

View attachment 1471

Chris Moon uses the box to communicate with spirits to such great effect that he describes personal client sittings as “a 20-minute phone call with the other side.”

He lists Thomas Edison and John Lennon among spirits with whom he has worked, and claims to have learned details about past crimes by communicating with deceased victims via what he and his father dubbed “Frank’s Box.”

“I’m a psychic medium with or without the device,” Moon said. “There are not a lot of electronic mediums. I think I’m the only one. I was the first to use the device in the field.”

Moon’s introduction to, and subsequent mastery of, the ghost box is the subject of his first book, wildly entertaining for anyone interested in the arcane or fans of myriad ghost-hunting shows proliferating on cable television. Moon’s claims in “Ghost-Box” are so remarkable, and its style so ingenuous, that it seems to bypass incredulity altogether.

Excerpts from a 40 minute interview:

How does a ghost box work?

When we first got it, we didn’t think it worked; we thought it was just a broken radio. My father and I are the ones who named it Frank’s Box. All the devices they use on the TV shows are copies; none of them work on the same premise. They just take a scanner radio and pull the pin out so it will scan constantly and spit out words; it’s not a Frank’s Box. Then they have applications for your phone, where they program spooky words into an app and people can use them to get scared at slumber parties, but there’s really nothing to it.

What’s in a ghost box?

What makes it work? Well, Frank Sumption was a physical medium who received messages from other side on how to build a ghost box. There are a few key components, one being the RVG — a Random Voltage Generator — and what he said was the spirits use their energy to affect the RVG and create words, and those words and sounds are formed in a diaphragm, or echo chamber, and that acts like a mixer. Then the spirit voices come through the speaker.

There was an episode on your YouTube show where a woman hears the voice of her father and breaks down. Is that common?

It is. That’s what happens the majority of the time. People hear their loved ones on a consistent basis. I do individual readings for people and they basically have a nice, 20-minute phone call with the other side. Several mediums, or self-described mediums, received ghost boxes from Frank but weren’t able to use them, so they returned them or sold them on eBay. There’s a very specific energy necessary from the medium to receive and provide energy to the box, as well.

I want to ask you about John Lennon …

John Lennon is very interesting. He’s come through on a couple of occasions for us. He works as what I would call an ambassador, someone who calms a situation before something else more intense happens. He ended up introducing a friend of mine to her mother who had passed away two years before, and my friend said that if it hadn’t been for John Lennon, she wouldn’t have been able to talk to her mother.

What about Thomas Edison?

Edison actually comes through for us on a consistent basis. We do quite a bit of experimentation, and he works with us because he still leads the team (Moon calls them “spirit technicians”). At Mason House Inn in (Bentonsport) Iowa, we’re doing a lot of experimentation. The man who owns it was a high-ranking Air Force officer and he’s a quantum physicist. We do experiments and (Edison) leads us through them, everything from voices to contacting former world leaders and even being able to see their faces as they come in.

I read a book (“Deliver us from Evil” by Ralph Sarchie) and the author says you should never try talking to spirits because the ones who talk are always demonic.

I love that, because the funniest thing is the Catholic Church will tell you is it’s just demons, terrible entities. But the messages people hear (on the ghost box) from someone they’ve lost are so positive. They’re the most beautiful gift you can receive. So, if they’re demonic entities, they’re really nice demonic entities.

So, how would you categorize demons? Are they intelligent, or are they just manifestations of something?

Demons are what I call astral parasitic life forms and they can’t exist without a host. They live on anger, fear, jealously and they’re hard to get rid of.

Does the host have to be human?

That’s a good question. Mostly it has to be part of a person, but there are locations — for instance, like Hinsdale House in New York. They’ve had two failed Catholic exorcisms there, and every investigation that goes there has equipment failures, they lose their feelings, their senses. But I wouldn’t call that a possession really; it’s more of an infestation.

Some people are just very into the paranormal and wear black and love Halloween. How do you fit there? Is what you do more spiritual?

I definitely have a foot in both worlds when it comes down to it, because I’ve been researching the paranormal longer than almost anyone in the field today. So, I have a stake in the paranormal, but my situation is more spiritual than anything else. Paranormal researchers are still trying to prove spirits exist; well, we’ve proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now we’re learning.

And what have you learned?

One thing I know for sure is we’re infants in a much larger neighborhood, and we’re spoon-fed right now so that out basic understanding of the spiritual world can evolve.

Have you heard of this guy Christopher Moon?...Is he legit or putting on a show?...

I like your show thus far, about 45 min in, I have never heard the ghostbox before, that was interesting...The only reason I mention Moon is because he claims to use the ghostbox to communicate...

There was a fair amount of orb activity whilst you guys were discussing cold spots, about 4 orbs looked and behaved like small insects but the others were not insects nor dust, they were something else...

looks like scam, real ghost box recordings while audible clearly, have a strange mettalic tone to them, so the accent and the voice is usually muffled

Oh my the freaking ouija board, she looked like she had a strangle mark on her neck, and her face was getting red...:ohmy8:

I used one of those with a friend back in 1987 for a couple weeks out of curiosity and things happened too, don't want to use one of those ever again...
