Posted: Nov Wed 01, 2006 2:18 am Post subject: A sensitive myself |
|
|
Well, as you can tell from the subject, i would call myself a "sensitive". i have seen so many things, that i cant deny to myself that fact. It's been goin on since before i can remember, but the earliest memory i have was from when i was 5. I will go in more detail in the "ghost stories" threads..., but anyway..., As i stated in my intro just a few minutes ago, in my experience most "sensitives" are simply folk who are overly imaginative, or those who are simply lying. I dont like to think the worst of people... but sometimes its hard not to.... Anyway, the reason i got into "hunting" was because of this "other sense", and that i had to prove to myself if i was just seeing things or if i what i saw were real.
Well over the years, I've proven to myself that what i do see and feel are real, and that some are not only real, but can be malignant... now before i get a ton of people in here spouting that a ghost cannot harm you... i tell you from personal experience that you are right. The normal ghost/spirit does not have enough energy to affect this world, or those that live in it... however, some do. I have been physically attacked and harmed by spirits before, and the only way i can classify them are as Poltergiests... now that may be the wrong term for them, but thats what i call them when talking to my freinds, so they understand the difference. And it is because of those few spirits, that i have discovered through trial and error and some research, a few ways of protecting myself, and even ways of "cleansing" a space.
And as for the Challenge that has been given by SHGAHRS, i would love to go with you guys on a few hunts. Not only to try to dispell some of the myths and misgivings about sensitives, but also to expose myself to some of the more haunted places in the area... So please, hit me up and maybe we could plan somethin.
And if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask... these forums should be about answers and helping eachother as much as they are for just getting things off your chest, and telling your story. _________________ You only have to open your eyes... |

I just don't have the time or the desire right now. I think i'm probably just going to be focussing mainly on ITC and EVP's, more than traditional ghost hunting when I get back into it. I'll still do formal investigations at select, morbidly haunted locations if there have been credible reports of possessions, levitations, molestations and other blatant physical/psychological attacks, etc. But, I don't foresee that happening unfortunately. It has just gotten to be not worth all the time, work and money otherwise.
The thrill of the chase just isn't enough for me anymore....

Aedryan,
When you first started paranormal investigation what were your expectations? What did you think you would find? Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic or setting you up. _________________ Frank Ratka

Frank,
As i've said before, I expected to at least witness some of the above mentioned occurences occassionally. ONCE would even be rewarding, bro!
We've spent countless hours, work and tons of money investigating and documenting quite a few, at least what I feel are some pretty prime/very likely to be haunted locations and we've used just about every possible approach/tactic you can think of to stir shit up and we've not experienced any undeniable, blatantly obvious evidence of ghosts. We've gotten plenty of awesome EVP's (even direct communication ones), which are great, but what i'm talking about here is, documented blatantly obvious, physical and psychological ghost activity and stuff being slammed around, etc.
Also, as i've said before, myself and my family experienced some pretty spooky things in a house that we lived in when I was 12 years old and i've had a few REALLY strange things happen to me in my house since I got into ghost hunting. I mean, I truely saw a white ghostly, "ectoplasmic" figure standing behind me on and watched it swoop up into the air and vanish that time on my porch and I have heard disembodied voices with the naked ear on 2 seperate occassions in my house.
I can describe these occurences till i'm blue in the face, but it's not solid evidence and no one is going to believe me any more than they do sensitives. I mean, why do things like this seem to happen in my house, AFTER investigations, yet we can't we ever document things these sorts of things in "haunted" locations that are surrounded by death, tragedy and dead people?
Then to boot, the majority of what little photographic "evidence" we HAVE documented and plastered all over our website gets undeniably debunked. It's pretty disheartening....
In a nutshell, I blame Hollywood for my expectations being so high when I got into ghost hunting, because of movies like "Poltergeist", "The Exorcist", "Witchboard", etc. But, I REALLY feel sorry for this new generation of ghost hunters, who are are being inspired by all of these ridiculously fake ghost shows on television, because once they realize how fictitious and exaggerated they all are, they are going to be even far more disappointed than I am....

Did you ever concentrate on just one for a long period of time? Not outdoors but indoors!

You will never get solid evidence that can't be disputed or debunked. I don't care what anyone says....YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY UNDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE! EVER! All "evidence" can be denied or debunked as simple camera tricks or lighting anomalies. If someone has made up their mind to not believe they won't, no matter what you place in from of them or show them first hand.
I have hours of video recorded on two long-term investigations I have done since 2000. I have shadow people walk in front of the camera, even in between furniture. I have them walking up to my camera and waving their shadow arm in from of my lense as if they are looking to see if they can be seen on camera. Even with this outstanding footage I would bet my left nut there are an army of skeptics (terrified nay-sayers) who would accuse me of trickery or blatantly lying just so they would not have to admit that they could not exlain it. Or so they did not have to go home and sleep in a bed by themselves knowing something could be watching them.
Still photography may be iffy put video don't lie. I will say this before some highschool A/V geek questions me. I know the difference between a bug and a fucking orb on video, I know the difference between smoke and ecto and I know the difference between a live person's shadow walking in from of my IR emitter and a shadow being.... SO FUCK OFF! I've been doing this for a long fucking time!

When I begin to teach a person about paranormal investigation I tell them to forget everything they think ghosts are just for that reason. You know what I have noticed lately. More and more groups want to be the next TAPS. They are promoting conferences, getting on local news or TV stations, sponsoring classes at the local JC, really yucking it up. These are groups I have never heard about and I have friends all across the country and they have never heard about the majority of these people. _________________ Frank Ratka

Not indoors, no.... But, what's the difference really? We have returned to places like Chestnut Grove Cemetery at least a half a dozen or more times though. Matt and Jim have probably returned to Gudgeonville Bridge at least 3 dozen times, but that's another story.... lol

S Cable from your VCR or recorder to your computer, brotha! It wouldn't have audio, but who cares. Otherwise, even having crusty old VHS videos converted to digital is pretty cheap to have done these days. I've had my audio/visual company pull video animation clips off of VHS tapes and put them on CD's in the past for my shows and they didn't even charge me. It's also simple to do yourself if ya have a TV card.

Yeah, I don't have a video capture card on my laptop. Everytime I get into a position to get one something else comes up.
I have been putting all the good recorded activity on one tape so I can transfer it easily later. I will put it all online once I convert it to digital.  _________________ Frank Ratka
