South Indy Paranormal Investigators was founded by Dennis Manning and Terri Hyatt. They formed this group in order to help others who had many of the same questions about the "other life". Dennis and Terri have had many experiences of their own that they could not explain! So they decided to get others involved and help find those answers! "We have not been on many investigations since we started, but enough to study. Our groups favorite place to investigate is what we call our "baby" Stepp Cemetery, located in Morgan Monroe State Forestry. This place is known as one of Indiana's most popular Legends/Folklore. We are working really hard trying to find the "truth" in this matter. We love learning the history and investigating pioneer villages, these alone have a lot of history that we have found to tell the story."

Also, if you are patient after the initial show is done. You can hear some "secret track" type stuff. Like after thoughts or extra music! It doesn't always happen and the player will stop when the show is fully done. So there is a hint to you all! Thanks for stopping by and listening! "Are you dead or are you sleeping!"

A Call for Chroniclers - Feb 15,2009

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 20:18:49 GMT

A Call for Chroniclers by Josh Hehe

We all come from long line of ancestors dating back more than a couple billion years. These beings emerged into a universe that had been evolving for more than ten billion years before that. The sequence of events that unfolded from this initial condition collectively make up the unwritten legacy of our existence, and my goal is to tell this epic tale through a provisional account of what seems to be the best explanation of everything up to this point.

Since there will always be new facts to discover, these Chronicles of Ontology will serve as a never ending story that’s updated each and every time someone understands anything unprecedented. In this way, I can carry on the tradition of discovery, in which ideas continue to be passed down and all around by countless seekers for generations and generations in one form or another. With that in mind, it must be understood that all I have done here is bring all of this together into a single self-consistent model. After all, I’m a philosopher and that’s what we do. At least, I think that’s what we do… I guess.

Regardless, this is all just part of my long-term efforts toward the establishment of common sense. I mean this in the most literal way. Humanity doesn’t all agree on what’s going on in the world, or more importantly, about what went on in the world, and I think it’s very unfortunate that we have to suffer through this kind of global ignorance. I say we just let our fiction be fantastic by writing stories about every kind of abominable snowman, wizard, dragon, resurrection, and virgin filled place in paradise that we can possibly imagine. This is a tremendously appropriate means of expression, so long as it’s not confused with the truth, which is what I’m trying to get at with the records that are being compiled in this work. What’s more, to sort of lead by example, I have distributed this into the public domain with the hopes that it will encourage others to engage in the free exchange of ideas whenever they are inspired to make sense of the world around them.

What I would like for you to do is comment on any or all of the ideas contained in this story. From this I hope to get others involved in writing their own interpretation of the facts. With that in mind, feel free to cut and paste anything from the Chronicles or bring in any other material you see fit. Then we can all come to a consensus as we examine and re-examine all the evidence.

With that said, I think its important for you to understand a few things before reading the Chronicles of Ontology. So, I’d like to tell you a little about the overall process that we are all taking part in, whether we care to accept it or not. This process is part of a very slow cycle that takes trillions and trillions and trillions of years to complete before it resets and starts all over elsewhere in the elsewhen of there and then. It is an evolutionary process of becoming that involves four primary components at three different scales of being which are acted on by two fundamental forces. Collectively these serve as the necessary components and conditions of one cosmos.

Simply put, space, time, mass, and energy interact in the omniverse, multiverse, and universe, as they are acted upon by positive and negative influences. Of course, nothing is ever just that simple, nor should it be.

The concept of a complete model of the cosmos is often criticized based on the idea that there is always something just beyond the limits of anything that can be established. When an astronomer asserts that the universe began with a cataclysmic explosion nearly fourteen billion years ago, someone will wonder as to what happened before that. In the same respect, a priest might explain how God created the universe at which point someone will ask what gave rise to God. In all honesty, no matter how elaborate a theory might be, there will always be some hypothetical rhetoric with which skeptics can question anything. So, to sort of buffer against this arbitrary idea of infinite regress the enigmatic notion of nothing can be added to any attempt at making sense of everything.

Unfortunately, it’s not enough to simply say that there isn’t anything beyond the space-time of the cosmos because no matter what, there will always be another question that could be asked regarding some incomprehensible quality, like boundlessness.

The ability to ceaselessly ponder in this way is paramount to any philosophical approach, but there often comes a time when things outlive their usefulness or begin working against themselves. There is no greater example of this than that of the introduction of infinite regress into the ultimate quest for truth.

Fortunately, there is a point at which we can go no further of dig any deeper. The smallest constituent part of something, now matter how miniscule, is never going to be any less than it is and that is simply the way things are. The fact that we can conceptually think of less or mathematically add one more negative number to a line does not mean that there must be something smaller than the smallest thing. The possibility of something is not the thing itself, so I always do my best to avoid these pointless forms of inquiry.

This may seem like some hypocritical double speak, but my claim that nothing is a necessary component of everything, is actually not unfounded. As counter-intuitive and convoluted as it sounds, all the evidence seems to point toward the fact that nothing is infinitely large and everything is infinitely small and anything that happens here and now does so between the two. Luckily, there’s a more scientific means of explaining this.

As a whole, the cosmos can be subdivided into three parts. These are the omniversal domain of constrained microcosmic dimensions that are closed off, the multiversal domain of furling dimensions that curl in on themselves, and the universal domain of unfurling macrocosmic dimensions that reach out to form a continuum in which objects and organisms interact. This covers the entire expanse of space-time as it stretches from the infinite implicate uncertainty at the edge of the unstructured nonexistence of nothing to the finite explicate certainty of the structured existence of everything.

Of these, the omniverse is the one and only source of all that is. This infinite realm of formlessness is the whole of entirety in complete and absolute fullness. It contains every possible mode, attribute, and perspective that could ever be considered. This is very important because it means that the omniverse has no way to identify with any particular mode, attribute, or perspective, in and of itself.

The next region of the cosmos serves as the complete set of all possible universes that could exist in relation to an actual reality itself. So, the multiverse is that part of the cosmos that directly joins a given universe with all of the probable configurations of past, present, and future associated with the events thereof. The structure of this is similar to a vast network of interconnected tracts, or world-lines, that connect each event with its nearest alternate histories and outcomes.

The physically irreversible matter-of-factness that we associate with reality results from the fact that events are selected by the omniverse. Through this process of becoming every probable world-line is systematically detached from the expanding space-time continuum that continuously becomes our universe.

To understand why this is, the cosmos has to be divided binarily into its largest and smallest parts. This is because as a whole, everything eminates out of its constituents. In other words, the boundless exterior totality of the macrocosm is that into which everything emerges from the boundless interior totality of each microcosm.

These extremely small scales of existence house an undifferentiated, multi-refferential ontological observer that attends to specific world-lines to generate experience by expressing itself through evolving local frames of reference in a given universe. This process is actualized by a reduction in the potential phenomena as actual noumena emerges. By witnessing the present moment, the attendant brings about the collapse of a wave function for each and every event as it occurs.

To sum it all up, the multi-referential network of ontological potentia that permeates the omniverse experiences by way of organismal identification through the integrative coupling of multiversal mediation. This process of becoming is enacted through adaptive sequences of advancement that generate highly specialized life forms throughout the universe. In this way, life serves as a cosmological process of self-sustaining action that allows a microcosm to express itself in the macrocosm. If this sounds complicated that’s only because it is. There simply isn’t any way to make sense of everything in a few paragraphs. This is why I have elected to write the following story, which serves as a rough guide to my ontology which I have supplemented with an accompanying lexicon. However, if things still don’t make sense, e-mail me or post a comment and I can explain things further. Then, we can work out whether I’m right or not.

Updates! - Feb 11,2009

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 07:28:13 GMT

Hi all,

Its been some time that an update has been posted! Especially, when we have had so much happen in such an amount of time. There has even been some greater things that have arrived on my plate. Interesting for sure. Can't wait to experience the outcome. Lets get to the updates shall we!

First off, I would like to thank all of those that have attended the meeting! It was great to share some experiences and watch Richard Crowe's informative documentary. The whole meeting was recorded on audio. So, if you missed it. You can listen! Which, more audio files will be added soon too! As soon as I or one of the wonderful members gets too it! It can be a handful when slackers run a research group.This will be all on our yahoo groups.

Also, it was just great to have met others who are interested in finding truth to what is going on. We will be trying to keep up with these meetings. Not just for people involved in the group. But, for people who are just interested in learning something. That is one thing that I really want to incorporate into have such a group as Lake County Ghost Hunters. Trying to learn together! Expect more videos! And not just on "ghost"! We are projecting a Feburary 28th date currently for the next meeting. If interested, you know where to contact us! And please, if you would like to bring a video to watch or discuss, let us know!

Second, I would like to thank Steve Raebel (Michigan Paranormal Project) Tom Ventosi (Mass Paranormal) Lourdes (NightFall Paranormal) Alex Rondini (Phantom Magazine- I also wrote an article in his online mag this month) and Joey Ward (West Georgia Paranormal Research Society) for kicking off this New Year great! They are great new friends and great guest that we've had on so far and more to come for sure! And thanks for making our show what it is. Without any of the listeners, guests and supporters that we do have. I don't think I would have kept it going. Remember you are part of the experience. Just call in and join the chaos! Or even send us ideas on what you want us to tackle. We will do our best to look at things with an open mind. Keep a look out soon for a post for updates on some blogtalk show that you might have missed. For sure take that time to listen. I took the time to post them! LOL! People! LOL!

Third, our myspace page is being updated thanks to my friend Chris Cassata. If you like what you see. Let Chris know he did a great job! You can find him as Chris on our top friends list. Most likely this will be our logo or banner or whatever you want to call it. It will be what represents us most likely on our upcoming website. Sometimes I wonder if we even need a website. Myspace pretty much has what we need. I mean you really don't need to look pretty to present research on the paranormal. I may sound like a minimalist or cheap. But hey, free and cheap sounds like the path of least resistance. So, check out our blogs, music, videos and blogtalk media player to fill your head with something! And we are not like the other groups where you have to be a friend to view. Its all open to the public! Thats right! No Hassle!

Fourth, I have been working on many projects personally and with members of LCGH who are also part of our little amateur production company called ARRS. I have been working on a comic idea for some time and we do have a wonderful artist and another writer. It is great to have such a great set of people on this project. I can't get too much into it. Only so much has been put together and so much more is needed to complete it. Let's just say it's about a modern day magician and his experiences. Which will both entertain and create awareness! We have 2 rough story arcs and once it gets all put together nicely. One will be adapted into a movie we would make ourselves! In time of course!

Along with awareness and movie making! I have been wanting to see another movie along the lines of "What The Bleep" or just awareness over all. It will be animated! Slowly, things have been pulling together. But, now things are becoming more apparent on what needs to be done. So, as the production group, we had a meeting this last Saturday. It was great! People got to go over this comedy that my "Buddy Holly" Dave Trojan has cooked up. Then we got into the meat and potatoes later on with this animated movie idea. There is a lot to go over and prepare for. That is certain.

I have been tossing this idea for a while. And to the only person that I know will not lead me astray! That is Josh Hehe. He is an advisor of sorts to me for many many years. And close friend who has been working on great stuff since I could remember. Well, lets just say soon you will be seeing his work and hopefully get to watch it in the future. But, with him and my resources. Things have shifted into a faster gear for most of us! His work which is titled "The Chronicles of Ontology" is going to be the basis for hopeful reform in how we do things over all. And the basis for our animated movie. This is big stuff for sure and you will get to see more on it in upcoming March. The work will be posted for all to see later on the net or where ever it can be viewed. And for free! He is actually calling on all people in all fields to come and view this. To comment and add on to the work as "Chroniclers"! More info will come and I will do my best to release some parts of the work before it is released. If you are interested in doing more work in such a project like this. Please, get a hold of me as soon as possible!

Last, I just want to say we are still looking for members for the group. And in that is not just to "ghost hunt". But, actual help in research and building of this group. We are still going through growing pains and we all know how that is. So if you are in the area or outside and you are interested in working with a group or have theories to get out. I would say we are the group. If you are interested in some specific field of research. Such as UFOs, Energy Therapies, Crypto-Zoology, Electronics, EMFs, Geothermal or anything else that can help in research. I want you! There will have to be some organization with all of this. But, I can't research everything on my own. Look at our title on our myspace. Lake County Ghost Hunters- "A Diverse Group Of Paranormal Researchers"! You fit that bill?

Well, thats a lot to say already and most likely I forgot some things. Or some people. To all I missed, "Hey thanks for the support"! keep your eyes wide open and those minds too! We live for the random!And we all have work to do!

First Official Update Of 2009 - Jan 08,2009

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 04:20:12 GMT

Hi all,

Well, this is the first official update for 2009! This month will be quite the kick off for things to come! First off! I will like to thank those that have contributed to the yahoo groups in 2008. Keep it up! That's what the group is designed for. You are a group member of Lake County Ghost Hunters. You are a Lake County Ghost Hunter! And of course your input is needed!

This is one of the new things that I want to focus more on. I will explain more later in a post or if possible, the upcoming meeting on a Saturday towards the end of the month! I am looking at some "core" member's schedules to see what will work out. If anyone is interested please contact me as soon as possible! The meeting will involve a movie and group discussion. We could have refreshments!? I am looking forward to doing these more on a monthly basis. Plus, it will be a platform for others to come and bring their experiences and or theories out so we can learn together what this whole thing is about! Of course, everyone will be updated before it is scheduled!

Next we will be workin' with John Treva of The Paranormal Side Indiana Chapter. His base group has a webcam forum that we may be experimenting with. All in all, its really for you the people. You will get to see how boring a night of investigatin' can be or how awesome depending on what happens! We will see how everything works out! If you would like further info on John or The Paranormal Side, please go to our links section on the yahoo groups page. Heck! Look at the many of many links that we have!

Of course, workin on the few cases that we have as well as upcoming trips to places outside the Lake County area. I will also try to post my observations much quicker after every add of pics from our investigations. Most likely, I will be fashsionably late! I think its worth it. So, soon I will have a post of our most recent investigation called "The Dentist House". Is it haunted? Not sure! Interesting stories? Of course!

We will be focusing on a constant schedule for L.C.G.H. on blogtalkradio. Currently we are on a Friday late night schedule and we think we will keep it! May work with the time, but I think it will be an after 9pm central type schedule. Always, looking for input about the show or even help in research!. Always looking for help in research!! And most definitely your interaction! Without you guys. The show would be nothing! So please join in and become part of a great medium for this subject! Or any subject for that matter. Get your voice out!

And lastly and always, we will be doing our best to get out and work with others groups! We are always networking and through this, I personally have met and hopefully will be working with some interesting people and ideas this year. Really trying to organize theories and find something that really would shine some light on this psuedo-science! It only takes our will to accomplish something greater than ourselves!

Oh! And hopefully this year we will have a website up! Do we really need one? Probably! Better to have things at one center I guess.

A Response To An Article About "Unity" In The Paranormal - Jan 04,2009

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:34:19 GMT

Here is the original author and article from whofortedblog.com-

A Case Against "Paranormal Unity"

By Tony Hart-Wilden • December 15, 2008

We all have our own opinions on what credible evidence is, and what methods to use in paranormal research, and some of it not only has no common ground, but is also a completely opposing viewpoint. "Choose your side even if you're the only one on it".

Just as in mainstream politics, although we may listen to the views of an opposing candidate, we don't lend our support to them, paranormal research shouldn't be any different. One paranormal investigator showing unity with another merely because they are a paranormal investigator is like a Democratic candidate showing unity with a Republican because they happened to be a politician.

Unconditional paranormal unity is counter productive; it is just an ill-thought-out buzz word. Why show unity with people that continually post false or easily discredited evidence or demonstrate questionable investigative methods? It reflects badly on anyone that associates with them. Not only should you not be unifying with them, you should be actively working against them and the negativity that they promote.

Respect needs to be earned, not automatically given without justification. This is the only way that credibility can be restored to the paranormal field, not by mutual toleration of everyone's ideologies no matter how illogical or scientifically invalid they are. And if you can't take personal criticism of your own beliefs, what that really means is that you haven't enough evidence to justify them, not just to others, but more importantly to yourself. If you have one opinion and someone else has another which contradicts yours, you clearly think that the other person is wrong. And presumably the other person believes they are right and you are wrong.

As we obviously don't all agree on the methodology, objectives and techniques regarding paranormal investigation, we can't all be right, but the people with evidence to back up their statements are going to be "more right" then someone that can't. This doesn't mean that people aren't entitled to an opinion; everyone is, including the other person that believes that an opinion is wrong.

The mainstream scientific communities aren't all united in one method and theory, and it's the diversity and the conflict that is created as a result, that has enabled some of their greatest advancements. It is disunity that pits one set of ideologies against another and gives each the incentive to attempt to prove their own beliefs, over that of someone else's. The battles to prove germ theory, nuclear fusion, and evolution, were fought and won, not through mutual cooperation but through a war of words and technology backed up with evidence. Each conclusion reached ultimately not as a result of propaganda, but because it was the best method to solve the problem presented. In both instances alternative explanations and methods were met with strong opposition, but it was people working not only to promote their own opinions, but actively working to disprove the opinions of others that caused such breakthroughs. In paranormal investigation it is about applying the best tools to the job and some of the tools simply don't fit.

It is not merely a numbers game; it is about the credibility of the evidence being presented. If you wish to follow scientific protocol regarding the paranormal, part of that process is peer review. If you have a public presence, even if that is just a website then the general public become your peers whether you wish them to or not. In many cases they may choose to reject the evidence presented because it is poorly researched, of questionable validity or defies logic. Most of the general public are not scientists, but they can accept and understand science when it is presented to it, because of the logic of the methods behind it, and the credibility of those that do the research. Logic and credibility are traits that cross many barriers, but the consequence is that when it is missing, the entire community it originates from will suffer as a result.

Paranormal individuality doesn't mean you can't research and exchange information with others, but it does mean you can be selective what method, theory and evidence you chose to accept. And it won't stop you from listening to other people's opinions and ideas, if you did that, how could you possibly criticize them? How much of joining, a family, network, or crew, is actually just a propaganda tool for the people that started them. And when it's related to a group that has a T.V show, or puts on high profile events, who actually joins for the unity and who joins for the reflected glory? Instead of relying on someone else to open doors for you, why not try to open them yourselves ? When your not bound by anyone else's rules or protocols you can still learn from them, but only if you chose to do so, rather then having them inflicted upon you by being a member of a group that imposes them.

Here is my response-

I think all unity, like this perspective, is mostly of the individual's ideas. And "individual" can mean a person or group perspective. That itself holds it's own paradigm of understanding on those particular scales of thought. To say unity in general is not good, that's just being a shade of ignant!

Ignant I mean in the most base of the word's definition. To Ignore. Ignore the fact that in every aspect of our consciousness is all about "unity". From family to Friends. From employee to company. From Company to Economy. Economy to Government. Ah! We come to government in in the second paragraph. LOL, some "unity" brought us to this point. But, as we can see "unity" is involved in any aspect. So, most definitely it is involved with government and choices. Money! That unifies politicians together. Power! That also unifies individuals. I say individuals cause you don't have to be a politician to desire these as well. Not even really a need to choose sides when you got something that will "unify" you.

I don't think I need to go deeper in the paranormal aspect of unity. Just like everything in life, we are compelled with being part of something. You're gonna have pros and cons. If humans are involved in anything, you're gonna have duality in any aspect from physical to metaphysical. Take that last sentence and let that marinate in your thoughts for a long time!

In the "scientific" aspect of things. As we went over previously, humans will always add "pros and cons" in some thought process. But, science is what bridges the gap with everything. Through our advancements in sciences, we have come closer to the "The Unified Theory"! Ever heard of "Quantum Mechanics"? That itself is just scratching the layer of understanding the sub-atomic world. So, I think "unity" is something what the scientific community really wants. I would hope so! That would be sad if we didn't share our experiences with one another. In any community at that!

But, sharing experiences and data was not really the argument of this writer's perspective on "unity". It was really in judgment of one's credibility and methods. Which partially is true. You don't have to unite with someone because of how they operate. But, that is not the case entirely, some of our family, friends and coworkers would not necessarily be involved in aspects of our lives. Which brings us back to the individuals perspective on "unity".

So, it's how we look at "unity". Well, maybe we need to go back with thinking like scientists. Since they have come up with this "Unified Field Theory" thingy. We are scientists you know!? I mean experiencing and reacting is learning. And sometimes we ignore what we experience. Ignorance- "what a damn ego trip!" We just need to become more "aware"!

Unity needs a base. We find truth when everything can fit together to make the big picture. Education! Becoming aware of "Quantum Mechanics" just might bridge the gap! It involves everything! Holds no judgment! Can't help usher in a new thought process on a stagnant pseudo-science. New Year. New Hope!

Court House Bar and Grill- Nov. 29 2008 - Dec 08,2008

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 06:11:56 GMT

Hi all,

Last week Saturday, Members of L.C.G.H. (Myself, Nenad, and Lucia-My Love and Photographer) were invited to join Cher, Diane & Nathan of Paragon Paranormal and Jeff & Nancy Rezman (Local "Real Time Spirit Communication" Researchers) with Chris Patrylak at the Court House Bar and Grill in Woodstock,IL. Personally, this is my second visit. For my group, this is the first and the rest have been here numerous times before. So far, I actually love this place. It has good vibes coming from it or at least the people that have been involved such as the owner and groups that I have met have been very welcoming!

Lets get started with the investigation! Well it was more of an observation of a modern seance than an investigation. Instead of using a Human Medium or Quija Board. We were using "radio" equipment to talk to the "other side". I find this as an interesting field of research and do believe we maybe able to get interesting phenomenon from using these devices. On the lines of mind manifesting! I have my own theories on this practice and once I get all the documentation up, I hope you will do the same! This is also my second time experiencing a "box" session in this place. First was in October using a "Radio Shack Hack Box" with Cher and Diane of Paragon Paranormal and with a much smaller group in the same building on the first floor. Then, I witnessed some interesting results with using that and with a group of 10 people. We were on the third floor this time in the actual court room of the building. This is where Jeff and his team set up their equipment which were audio, video, photographic, K-2 meters and his "box" equipment. Paragon Paranormal set up video, photographic and had an EMF reader. We set up video (VHS Recorder), audio (Tape and Digital) and EMF readers (Cell Sensor and E.L.F. Zone) as well. All video equipment were pretty much set on the outside perimeter of the table in front of the judge's bench. The "box" equipment, some audio recording devices (one was my tape recorder), EMF readers (my Cell Censor and Jeff's Tri-Field Meter) were placed on the table as well. We were there from about 9pm-12am!

The beginning of this event started with Jeff telling some historical aspects to their experiences prior to this event. Such as shadows and experiences with the "box".Then they got into the "box" session. In which, Jeff called out the spirit guide of the "box", which his or her name is "seven". I also experienced "seven" in my prior session with Paragon Paranormal and their "Hack Box". Which was given to them by Jeff for their interest in the research of this field. As I stated, it was more like a seance, especially when a young woman's father was supposedly coming through. I will say from what I heard, she did make some connection for herself with this session. But, with a large group and unfocused energy, it was hard to hear as well as the responses from the "box" were hard to hear and make up what was being consider the correct answer coming out. There were a lot of suggested responses from others in the room. About 18 or so people attended this event. And that is my opinion of course and hopefully soon Nenad will post his observation as well. I will get the audio up as soon as I can listen and transfer over the recordings from tape to digital and upload the recordings from my digital recorder. Then, you who are interested can listen and make up your own opinion on the matter. With any documentation we post, you will not see any description of what might be seen or heard. Its all up to the observer to decide.

As for the rest of the night. I have patrolled most of the floor with either a camera,my digital recorder and Cell Sensor. Just walking around getting a sense of what was going on within the room. Too bad, our video camera doesn't have night vision so what that recorded is mostly sound and some intervals of light when we turned them on for a break. But, over all we got tons of pics and audio and some weird feelings here and there. I never picked up any spikes on the EMF reader nor do I think anyone did. But, there was one room that I kept getting drawn too and at one point I left my digital recorder there for such a long time. Came back to it numerous times. I may have heard whispers. I don't know. Other than that, the pics are the only thing that provided anything abnormal. From Orbs, which could be dust particles or light reflections. To a weird never before seen by me streak of light. It was caught on the digital camera and for sure I have never even witnessed it in all times investigating any place.

I have shown the picture to my photo specialists and both claim that is truly an anomaly. One says that you would see that on scratched film or lens. Interesting for sure and once again something I personally have never experienced with digital or film! You can find the pic in the picture section on our yahoo groups at the moment. It is titled "Light Streak?". Or you can use this link-

It was quite an interesting night and we do need to go over the audio and video. So, who knows what we will find. And maybe nothing. But, I think it was a great time to get to work together with other groups and just observe when it comes to these types up events. Thats mostly our role anyways as a research and investigative group. And for sure more research and observance most be made with and "box" sessions. Are we really talking with the "other side"? Well, soon you guys will get to listen to our documentation of this particular event and draw your own conclusions. The audio and video will be soon posted in the files section of the yahoo groups. So, we will keep you posted on that part of the evidence. I would like to take this time to thank the owners of "The Court House Bar and Grill" and Paragon Paranormal and Jeff with his team for creating this event for all to participate and observe.

Updates and Updated Site! - Nov 15,2008

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:20:16 GMT

Hi all,

So, we haven't done a show in a while and nothing has really been posted or blogged recently for those that do keep up. We have been very busy with a dash of slackin and as of recently, I have just interviewed our new case and friends, which they reside in Round Lake,IL. There are some interesting claims of children running up and down the stairs, jumping on beds as well as a "peek-a-boo man" which likes to make himself known. I don't want to post too much info as of yet. I may want to bring a few sensitives in and don't want to leak out to much. I do have the whole interview recorded and we are able to present some of the info by the owners request. So, I may try to figure something out so the people can hear before hand. Maybe not? Who knows?

They are fine with us visiting multiple times and introducing experiments as well as researching as much as we can so a documentary can be put together. We will see what the outcome is. Their names and addresses may not be mentioned but, everything else is free range. we may even have a few members sleep over on different nights to
see if we catch any supposed paranormal activity. From what I can gather, most of the experiences are residual in nature, then again I believe all cases are residual. The stories so far are repeated from the previous owners. Which means that specific events are happening over and over again. Conscious of what "they" are doing or just psychic experiences? Don't know and can't wait to find out!

Next we have the internet show and soon we will get more ideas together with some interesting formats to try. Its a wonderful way to manifest thoughts and spread some awareness, so we gotta keep it going. We are looking for guests as well as topics people want us to research on! So, if you want to be a guest or have ideas for shows, give us a holla! And please check out previous shows and let us know what you all think! Check out this past show-

So, stay tuned for more Lake County Ghost Hunters on BlogTalkRadio.com

The Myspace site is updated with some interesting videos so you all can learn a little somethin while your visiting the site. As well as a chat room has been added so all who do visit can check if someone is on so we can interact with the observers. A true home is in the works for L.C.G.H. and many more things to come. So keep an eye open for the paranormal enthusiast tucked away in North-Eastern Illinois. Maybe the "Ghost Hunters Road Trip" will change all of that. Happy Holidays!

Court House Bar & Grill-Pics and Upcoming Things!(Really Late Post) - Oct 27,2008

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 05:43:56 GMT

Hi all,

Sorry! Been slackin at writing some stuff lately and stuff has been goin on! Last weekend was very fruitful for us. First we had an A.R.R.S. Productions meeting and that went great. We showed the clips of the movie "Grave Transmissions" that we have been workin on. As well as our projects on blogtalk and other ideas. If you who read this post and are interested in helping in building of a production company and or of course LCGH, then please get a hold of me as lets see what you can do? Here is the yahoo group for A.R.R.S.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrsproductions/

All that was Saturday, but on Sunday I met up with another group from the Mchenry area. "Haunted Illinois Paranormal Society", you can find them at http://paranormal.meetup.com/689/ and through them I also met with Cher and Diane from Paragon Paranormal, you can find them at http://www.paragonparanormal.com/ or http://www.myspace.com/yetione on myspace.We met at the Court House Bar & Grill in Woodstock,IL. It was a prison, court house and morgue since the 1880's and now it is a resturant, art school and the courthouse is still on the third floor!It was great taking the tour of the place and thats the pics I have posted up just recently. I wish I had my digital recorder so you all could hear the stories of what she(the owner) said as well as the ones I gotten from the staff. Some have had experiences and others have not, so it was interesting to get those perspectives! Also this Friday the 31st, Paragon and The Court House will be havin a "lock-in"! You can find much more about the Court House Bar & Grill at http://courthouseonthesquare.com/

So, thats just a start of whats been goin on! And talkin with Cher from Paragon, seems like we do have similar interests as well as creating a bigger group of investigators from the smaller groups. It will be interesting and I do love workin with others and sharing ideas and theories! And they have great projects coming up soon! Heck, they were the first ones to introduce me to the "box" sessions. Its using a radio and having it scan the channels constantly and you focus on taking to "spirits" in real time. It was an interesting experience and one that needs further research to really determine whats going on.

So I will keep everyone informed or you can just get connected from the many sites I have posted in this message. Sorry the for late posting, but things have been busy around here! Thanks all and have a wonderful All Hallows Eve!
