Speakin’ of Ghosts
It’s late and just as you’re drifting off to sleep, you hear something. What was it? There’s no one else at home. The cat’s asleep at the end of the bed. “It must have been the wind,” you tell yourself. It always makes you feel better to believe it’s just the wind. Until you feel that cool breeze float across your bed and realize there is no wind… People have been telling ghost stories since the beginning of time – the Greeks and Romans had ghost stories, and even the Bible mentions one in the story of Samuel and the Witch of Endor. The oldest documented ghost story in Oklahoma…

Speakin’ of Ghosts…
There is quite a fascination with the paranormal field lately and I think it’s safe to say there are more and more investigative teams appearing literally every day. The field is saturated with them.

There are mixed feelings about the effect of television on the paranormal field. On one hand, it has made it much more mainstream and acceptable.

Paranormal Investigations
When I first started investigating, I was dead set (no pun intended) on gathering “scientific evidence” that ghosts exist. I had gadgets and I had a tool belt to carry my gadgets in. All those gadgets do is make you appear to be technologically hip – until your EMF meter goes off and the homeowner asks you why and you say, “Um… I’m not sure.” Cover blown – your hip status just went down the toilet, folks. There are simply too many factors that come into play when you get gadgets involved. Unless you are a photographer by trade, you likely don’t know all the intricacies of your camera and…
