Re: The Ovilus

November 1, 2008 by maineghosts

I responded to this post this morning under the sticky "what hapens when you die". In short...Maine Ghost Hunters Society respects both the meataphysical and scientific. I am well versed in communicating with spirits without any equipment at all and actually prefer it that way. However, I am not so arrogant to believe that i am 100% right all the time. Therefore, I respect the use of technology created from the study of quantum physics. The more evidence you have to prove what you have physically experienced while you're out in the field, the better. When you're out there trying to gather as much information as you can so you can attempt to help the homeowners and the spirits (if needed), its important to be as acurate as possible.

Re: We have visitors at home :(

October 31, 2008 by maineghosts

Hello all, this is Robin....the one with the "attachment"

I am back at work now. Last night I got one hour of sleep. Activity flared up here, right after Julie left from visiting me - Exactly like it always does. Footsteps, unexplained noises, even a strange popping noise similar to the sound of microwaving popcorn. I also heard whispers and a male voice say my name.

I'm beyond frightened. I know that he is harmless and just trying to get his kicks from scaring me, but this is ridiculous. There are 3 spirits in this house. So far I have encountered two of them. Last night I tried to "kick him out" by sending pulses of "you are NOT doing this to me right now. You do not belong here." However, it seemed to piss him off and the activity increased. I finally passed out due to sheer exhaustion, and had to wake up one hour later. I can't handle this much more...I know that people with "abilities" are more susceptible to the interests of spirits. I'm trying to find how to harness my fear and contain it. I'm not frightened when I'm investigating, but it is a whole different story when you're being harassed at your home or work.

Sigh.....

Lisa are you experiencing anything heightened in your house or are you doing just fine? You do A LOT of EVP work and video's and all things paranormal really at your house. I'd think your house would be even moreso a calling card if not a full on constant bull horn for spirits!
And yes...Reiki of course EVERYTIME you come over lol!!! Sunday before we go on our next ghost hunting adventures?

We have visitors at home :(

October 30, 2008 by maineghosts

Alrighty so I thought I’d let you guys in on the latest and greatest personal experiences outside of scheduled investigations. Robin does some residential care work overnight on the weekends. Little did she know the house she has been working in is haunted. I'd love to get right in there and investigate and whatnot but I can’t since it’s a confidential home. Any who...here's what has been happening.

The spirit right off has been trying to get her attention. Lights flickering, thumps, footsteps, shadows the works. She hasn’t been able to sleep longer than a few hours a night when she is there. I have witnessed the light flickering myself and the odd noises. Some of the odd noises could be explained but I’m not there 24/7 to monitor obviously. And most of the activity occurs when I’m not around...of course because I won’t tolerate the taunting of a restless spirit.
So I've identified (from my sensitive perspective) at least 3 spirits dropping in. White light is working with us on this from afar to help identify what's occurring and what we can do.
So there is the background....

Now this past week Robin has been home and we have a spirit that just roams the land and stops by once in a while. Most times you don’t even notice him. He isn’t attention seeking you can just sense him. Well now Robin has been sensing a whole new entity. Not necessarily happy either. She finally told me about it 2 days ago. We've been advised that the spirit has managed to follow her home from work and isn’t necessarily evil but is definitely out to scare her. He gets his kicks that way apparently. She is pretty freaked out now to be home by herself. Its South Gardiner all over again it seems :( Only not nearly as bad. Certainly enough to interrupt our lives though.

I'm obviously going to do a thorough investigation of this. I'd like to buy and start testing new equipment as a means of contact be it a ghost box, ovilus etc. This weekend she is away again. I’m going to put the house on a total lockdown of protection from spirits. We work in this field every single day and if EVP's, our energy, our thoughts etc are like calling cards we need to take some extra precautions.

I'm feeling fine. Again he taunts her when I'm not around. I did encounter him a bit the other night and promptly had him leave, but I'm sure this wont be the last time we have to deal with this. I have a few things in mind as to how I want to take care of this situation but if anyone would like to add knowledge of their own I would welcome and appreciate it.

Thanks,
Julie

Re: It has come to my attention: Via My Website. And feel the need to post this.

October 28, 2008 by maineghosts

We absolutely appreciate this post Lynne! There are a plethora of reasons why people should not travel to locations without official permission and documentation to be there. For each investigation we do we have paperwork signed to first, permit us onto the premises; second, release them of any liability if we should injure ourselves in the process; Third, a liability waiver should any property be damaged. If you go to a location like a cemetery in a small town like the Manchester, ME Devils Footprint, the police check on that nightly due to vandalism. So even if your intentions are harmless you will most likely be having a discussion with an officer and without proper documentation you are considered to be trespassing. If you are serious about your intentions and not looking for a thrill for the evening like some, you need to take the extra time to get releases. Most times it only takes one phone call and you show up to get signatures before you enter. It is irresponsible and most disrespectful to both the property owners and the spirits to go about it any other way.
Lynne, thank you again for supporting us here in the forum, on your website and in the community. That offer still stands if you'd ever like to take it. You are certainly respected and valued as an "honorary member" for all of your participation and encouragement.
Happy ghost hunting this Halloween everybody! Be safe and respectful out there in the field.

Site GOING DOWN FOR CONSTRUCTION TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

October 27, 2008 by maineghosts

Hey all!
I thought I should tell you that the site is going down tonight for construction/upload of the new site. The new site is still being worked on but we're trying to get it out there at least and the new look rolling for the Switch Magazine article and interview this Friday (Halloween) with Q97.9 at 8:10am.

Just bookmark the forum because it will still be up and rolling! The main site will be down but the forum will be fine.

Thanks,
Julie

Re: So how is the Website going?

October 19, 2008 by maineghosts

Hey Lynne!

The new website should be up and running before the end of the month. We are aiming for a pre-Halloween release. We have several new investigations that will all be posted on the new site. It is very exciting! We hope that you will all enjoy our new site. Our web designer, Rocco, is an incredible asset to our team and many thanks should go out to him.

Thanks,

What Happens When You Die?

September 26, 2008 by maineghosts

Of all the questions I receive as the co-founder of this group, that is the most frequently asked. Everyone has their own interpretation and beliefs, but I wanted to hear first hand from our forum members. What is your theory on why spirits can communicate with us and why they "stick around" after death? Some think they are stuck, some that they choose to be here, and some say even if we want them to move on they refuse and we could never change that. I realize this is a loaded question, but your input would be helpful to me in answering questions like these to our clients.

Re: Not necessarily paranormal, but weird

August 11, 2008 by maineghosts

Thanks for forwarding this on to me Lisa. It is quite interesting that we just had this discussion the other day, and now this is posted. Certainly not a coincidence as everything has a reason. There is so much on this topic that I could share with you. Signs are very important in the metaphysical world. Those of us open to looking beyond the physical world certainly seek signs from our surroundings. Weather its God, the Great Creator, Goddesses, Allah, Buddha etc...signs are always given to the followers of such religions/walks of life. Native Americans believe and rely heavily on the signs from their brother and sister animals. They heed their warnings, relish in their praise, pay attention to the way they fly, nest, the direction that they travel. Its almost like reading tarot cards for someone to map out their life. Each animal is a totem. Sometimes the totem is part of your own totem pole. The totem pole is supposed to represent the major phases and teachings within this life for you. In essence it tells your life story. Each of us has nine totems. These are your guides throughout life. Not every animal you encounter is actually part of your life. Rather they may just pop in to remind you or tell you about something you need to pay attention to in the near future. For instance, Moose is not part of my totem. However, I had a very vivid dream with a moose in it. I looked it up to understand its medicine/teachings the next morning and in the very near future I understood why moose came to me in my dream. I haven’t dreamed of them since or before. I have never really seen one. It was something I just needed to know that day. However, eagle is one of my totems. It took me a great deal of time to understand its medicine for me in this life. Now that I do that is medicine and knowledge that cant be taken away from me. Rather, it is etched into my soul so to speak and I will carry that wisdom with me to my next life. Sometimes we have a unique kinship to certain animals that we can’t explain. If it starts when we are very young it may pose the question/thought that in the previous life that was the foundation of my totem pole/life journey, that I carried with me into this life. I believe that to be true of the butterfly in my life as it is not necessarily part of my totem pole in this life but it certainly is my primary guide. No matter what phase of life I am walking butterfly is always there and I rely heavily on their presence as they did in the old ways.
Animals are totems and medicine. They are not a cut and dry symbol for say "money". If you think about it, back when this belief system was born, money did not exist. So the modernization of this animal guide is probably not money but rather it may symbolize a gift. This may be a physical gift or a gift of the soul…a life lesson that is more valuable than any coin on this earth. If you see an animal that catches your attention or rather demands your attention, I definitely recommend that you look up its meaning. Now, looking up their meanings will mean more than just a spread sheet of 1-5 words that describes their medicine. It will require reading a chapter, or paragraphs from all different authors and draw the common denominator. I get calls all the time from my friends asking me about animal meanings. My friend Sarah was on her way to AZ for the summer, taking a break from her marriage, unsure of the journey ahead. So she saw a blue heron which is not something you see every day. She was driving cross country, unsure of her decision to leave for the summer, so I looked up the meaning for her. The meaning resulted in telling her that what she is about to do, although it is difficult ultimately it will nourish what is broken and therefore become stronger....now I could go on and on about all of this as I have already done. The study of animal signs and omens has been the focus and guide for me in metaphysics. If you have any questions I would be happy to share what I know with you. And if I don’t have the answer off hand I can help find it with you. Please do listen when the animals seek you out, and don’t take one word descriptions of their meaning as gospel. Take time to research what more than one person has to say from any religion/walk of life, compare notes and draw your conclusions.

Be Well,
Julie

P.S. Native Americans to this day (including me and my father) leave the leftover uneaten food outside for the animals as an offer of thanks for their guidance and wisdom each day.

All kinds of stuff...

Hello all!
We have an investigation tonight and one next Friday. These are private homes in Pittston and Old Orchard Beach. We are working on the website as we speak today. Hopefully we'll gain some ground today as we plug away. Thank you to our Lead Investgator Lisa B for keeping active in the forum and updating you guys as the days go by. We have done a lot of interviewing lately and we still have two more to go this week. Then we will be full as far as new members are concerned for now. Thank you all for coming together in the forum to share your ideas, experiences, encouragment and overall interest in the paranormal. We'll get the chance to meet two of you hopefully this week! :)

Until then...
