  Current News, Theories, Experiences, Upcoming Events or Whatever Comes Up! Call- Ins Are Always Welcomed! Tonight we will have Alex Rondini of Phantom Magazine on. I first met Alex on Nocturnal Frequency. Which is here on blogtalk and hosted by Steven Geiner of Southern Ontario Paranormal Society! Which is another person and show you must check out! Alex's online magazine focuses on the philosophical aspects in paranormal research. So, this show most definitely will be interesting. You can find out more on Alex at- www.phantomezine.com www.myspace.com/phantommagazine Afterthought- Another great night as usual. And what other show will start off with Dimmu Borgir! I mean come on! If you ain't listenin live. You is missin' out! Either way. Alex was great and was awesome to have had time to do a one on one type thing. He is great and its also great to have a "paranormal" magazine base most of its content on a philosophical stand point. Also, great music. You gotta hear what you missed!

  Some thoughts on another group!

  Bruce and all,I believe all paranormal shows fall under this spell!I only liked Paranormal state cause of how it gave adifferent direction for investigating. To me it wasthe psychological aspect, how they talked to thepeople and also how they applied some metaphysicalaspects as well. Margaret, I also would love to hearmore on what you know of your friend and that episode!Once again, I am quite aware of the entertainmentvalue of these shows. I have beenhunting/investigating for ten years now. I could pickthe flaws out like they were my own! Besides, I don'tthink they would add or negate anything to the "ghosthunting" community. In my eyes, the community hasn'treally offered anything new other than more books andof course t.v. shows. Now yes, I will agree this 2-waycommunication is something new for me. One of thereasons why I keep asking people to email me with allthe knowledge and experience they have of this tool. Iam a researcher and I say research everything in orderto fully understand the whole picture! Never focus onone thing!Which leads me to this next topic!Charm, I love how you introduced thermodynamics with"matter cannot be created nor destroyed, right?" andquantum mechanics with "so i am more inclined to thinkit is an individuals personal energy / vibrationetc... that can actually spill out into theatmosphere. our thoughts really DO affect matter!".The first quote I would change to "energy" cause ofcourse energy is matter. Not the other way around.But, I like where you are somewhat going with this.Sorry, I may have confused people but I was noting allof this with this one particular quote everyonemissed-"All of this is through the paradigm that"spirits" are of course being contacted from someactual "spirit world"." And I also mentioned "in asense", stating only in that frame of thinking. Idon't know everyone's point of view so I have to becareful at times.I don't believe in opening doors,unless you arethinking of "negative and dark matter"(which is usedto make black holes and possibly worm holes), theyalready exist! They exist cause of the idea of themultiverse and so on. I use quantum mechanics in myresearch cause it is the only valid piece of thepuzzle that everyone doesn't acknowledge. So, I don'tbelieve in demons and most definitely I don't believein ghost as most do. I currently believe we as a societyreally just view the romanticized versions of ghost we all grew upwith, and of course are hoping for that afterlife homethat we were all taught since the beginning of thethought of a "spiritual world" after this existence.I do believe that there is residual imprint left inour reality but over all I don't think it is actuallya single entity with a personality and cognizance. Ifthere is, we are not dead then. We never die if thatwas the case. Also, if we were talking and seeingthings of the past and they are acknowledging us, thenwhy aren't they in surprise to talk to the future. Inthe same ideas that we have , we are in a sense, timetraveling or they are!?? Let alone the millions andmillions of years that this planet as been here withthe animals of the past, why haven't we seen them as aghost? If of course we believe in some spirit worldafter this. How about even the cavemen! So, in the lastcouple thousand of years, we ended getting lucky tohave such a place to be? Let alone humans only been onthis planet for a fraction of time that the earth ifnot universe has existed. Of course, I don't expectany answers for these thoughts and questions cause Ireally don't know myself. But, with quantum mechanics, I dobelieve this to be a big piece of the puzzle we need.Especially, when we already know about sub-atomicparticles and even the idea of size and time don'treally matter. Its just our perspective on things, notthe way of the universe.This so far is my research as an investigator. Just asyou have mentioned, you notice things when you arestressed! You are not the only one. I know tons ofstories when supposed activity happens when we are insome mental aggravation, such as remodeling a houseand or a death of a friend or family member. We can gointo that more but those are just a few examples. Whenever I mention an example, that is all it is, and itsnot even a scratch of what more I can explain. Like Isaid before, my research revolves around thepsychological and philosophical aspects of "ghost" aswell as the physical too,hint quantum mechanics.I myself have delt with death and have had my ownexperiences with supposed "ghost" and psychicphenomenon. I was even a strong believer in thechristian faith. Once was going to be a youth pastor.Still am in some ways but not of any specific belief,but of the collective ideas of everything.Over all, I still want to catch some kind of physicalevidence of these experiences! One reason for sure isto at least prove me wrong and the other is to see ifit is over all effecting our physical environments. Itdoes in some ways, mostly psychic in nature, mentallyat least!Before I end this one, I would like to mention part ofmy theory about about everything in this supernaturalworld of ours. Lets take t.v., radio,computers/internet and think how they operate. Allthey really do is take "frequency" and create theoutcome of visuals and sounds. They don't enter theseapparatus has such. They are codes/frequencies asmentioned before. But, lets take this even further, all itreally is is just particles passing through particles toget to to these machines (of course the machines areeven made of particles). Then once entered, they passthrough all sorts of components/filters that bring uspicture and sounds, even colors! They are practicallynothing, the picture or the sounds don't really existuntil we see and hear them. You can even take thisfurther how we experience things ourselves. Saying,all we are are the machines, well we are biomechanical ofcourse! And Maybe we are just receiving all this phenomenon in the same way!I will end this here cause I will go on forever, but Ihope this gives you just a little more insight of whatI am thinking! later all and I will weigh in on someof the things. I will say that I like how the grouphas turned out since the whole mess that happened. Alot more researching than actual sitting and acceptingall that is! And, someone please contact me with allthey know about this box. I want to know everything!(real time spirit communication)http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rtsc/ this is the source of this post.

  The Paranormal and The Autistic

  The Paranormal and The Autistic Holographic Consciousness: The Continuum of Self and Non Self Sentience "In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris, a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since travelling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier,...." -Spirituality and Science: The Holographic Universe By Michael Talbot Autism and Non Consensus Reality If some of you have read my earlier posts, you know I am on the autistic spectrum as having Asperger's Syndrome as well as having many lifelong strange psychic and paranormal phenomenon that I have accommodated as my shadow, while not relinquishing my own skepticism toward either the experiences themselves or their causation because as an autistic I digest the world by systematizing it. Lately, through correspondence with a autistic friend,Dr Coral Hull, with similar and yet distinct experiences, I have have begun to examine something that should have been apparent all along to someone who is not autistic...is there a link between my autism and these experiences? More importantly, is there a linkage between perception of alternate or non consensus realities and the characteristics of my state? The Cost of Holistic Empathy and Systemization One of the distinctions of being autistic is the inability to conceptually model the functioning of other's thought processes in a coherent manner by observation so as to allow an ability to translate and integrate the twin aspects of the psyche, behavior and emotion in others. As a result, what is an innate ability in others to empathize with their fellow creatures in a social or interpersonal relationship(s) by being capable of this modeling, we, to varying degrees,lack the set of skills to accurately interpret the actions of others in relation to ourselves...we observe and analyze rather than participate.  On the other hand, this strange distinction has been rearranged, or the ability to experience this distinction as, if you will, a largely self reliant sentience, leads to one of two pathways according to which sex you happen to be. In females, in regard to physic ability, this narrowing or contraction of self in sharper focus due to not having to engage a similar proportion of potential energy toward others, this unused potential leads, to a more holistic, global sensitivity toward experiencing their environment, while in males this leads to the systematizing of experience, also in holistic terms. The female empath however,requires no synthesis of systemization as she is by nature integral and whole in her receptivity to an awareness of intangibilities that unify in transformation. The two are juxtaposed by the integration of these two archetypes in the melding of these predominate characteristics of a singular nature which unite them. While the female may incorporate systems thinking or a male empathic awareness, it is all within a spectrum as varied as there are individuals who are autistic.  On one hand, in this spectrum, if you recall the Voyager series, you are either a Data (Aspie) or a Troy (Empath), or a combination of both by standing outside of the experience, as distinct from ourselves, this at times, allows a view that has more clarity of the human situation, while ironically, we have largely been separated from it in our individual interpersonal experiences, so one aspect of life has been withdrawn and another offered, as we are, in a sense, arranged to observe in a larger unfiltered band of cognition that becomes distorted when focused on a narrower frequency of an individual subject of experience. While the vast majority of the world has difficulty in their vision on far sighted terms, we largely do not, however, we are notoriously myopic when in comes to experience in close range.  While males have a common characteristic of becoming frustrated with a lack of a systematic schedule in life, females can have a mirrored but distinct frustration in the lack of empathy exhibited by others. We have a difficult time integrating and processing the world as a experience of exterior continual cross purposes demonstrated in either emotional or logical terms. Since I have lived with this since my birth, I now understand some of my own rather odd tendencies..one of which is being overwhelmed at close range with someone else speaking because I cannot filter the information visually, intellectually and the nuance of tone, the posturing, etc in another by what non autistics handily accomplish organically, by editing input....I used to resort to avoiding eye contact so I would not be blown out of the water.  The Boundaries of Persona Then there is another facet embedded within this dynamic of autistic relationships to an exterior historical world, and that is the relationship between boundaries. In other words, non autistic people in varying degrees, have if you will a very comparatively strong sense of self in semi rigid persona, where this is who you are as distinct from others as a more existential entity, while the autistic has the same without the benefit of a strong boundary, like a fence or a moat surrounding a strong personality, as the self is largely an arrangement of translation rather than an edifice if you will that is dependent on the personality to be recognized on both interior and exterior terms...if you speak to an autistic...you can usually observe this lack of a personality written in caps quite easily. Boundaries and isolating conceptual basis of egotism are socially embedded by cultural reinforcement and further consolidated in the context of social systems. Again, in regard to psychic abilities,this lack of a good strong fence that others have been indoctrinated with seems to invite more in trough the door...both the positive and the negative.  Psychic Transference of a Transpersonal Reality What is somewhat jarring is that my son has begun to exhibit some similar experiences and I wonder if it is because of his proximity to me on many levels or is this a new variant of my environment, as we do create an proverbial atmosphere which does extend from us and perhaps I have inadvertently entangled or enfolded him without his consent which is disturbing...this has also begun to appear in my daughter as well. Quite a dynamic. Two days ago, I was wrestling with myself in the mental gymnastics of self examination as to the positive and negative aspects of this pathway I am on more accurately, what am I doing in terms of actual results toward others...My son woke up and said "Dad, you're not going to believe this but I have a message for you..'Both light and darkness are in the same container.'" He had met someone who had introduced himself as me from another realm or position in time..I had just written the "Water Clock" on this same subject that day prior to his "dream" of which he nor anyone knew existed. I had a similar experience by way of my friend also a few days ago, who upon my relating a nonsensical vision I had, confirmed that what I saw was what she was devoting her focus upon. In our previous and continuing correspondence, we have compared notes as autistics as to the dynamics of how these events occur, and we both agree that these paranormal events occur when we are not self aware of our relationship to them as if our already boundary defenses are at moments.. weak, which they are already comparatively weak compared to non autistics. As if to underscore this dynamic, when she focused upon them, they ceased. This dovetails into laboratory environments that are intently focused on experimenting with non local human effects By intent shared concentration, there may be a field generated wherein the force of these efforts tie down, diminish or deflect any potentiality of these energies. Whereas in spontaneous circumstances these energies are not entangled in intent or within the fragmenting field of logic which repels it, these effects appear.  What is fascinating is the linkage between those who practice healing by psychic intention at a distance, in the scientific experimental studies of this phenomenon, a similar description occurs, when they relate that they are most successful when they as self they stand back,off to the side and let this process occur. Another more stereotypical yet provocative experience is the often recounted issue of problem solving. The more intently the subject tries to derive an answer, the more illusive it appears, and yet when they surrender their aim in defeat and cease their mental focus upon it...the answer appears. The inverse seems to make manifest the polar opposite when it is applied to materiality in the utilization of meditating toward a specific goal whether it is Tibetan monks in subzero temperatures steaming wet sheets dry, or the more common and now accepted phenomenon of bio-feedback. Or, if one considers the spiking of REG devices at Princeton's PEAR facility with global catastrophic events, it becomes apparent that we are but holographic representations that are constituent portions of a larger consciousness, which is deflected to a greater or smaller comparative manner by our self created boundaries of an over riding distinctiveness, or separation from it, as an unwittingly editing filter of experience between the sum and the divisor. The entrainment of our holographic individuality reminds me of Lyall Watson's observation that the more we invest in certain or specific potentialities, lo and behold the proportion of material evidence we find is in direct proportion to the density or agreement of our constituent portions of consciousness which have interlocked by consensus toward it, as a manifestation of an intermediary reality, which appears to the individual as if manifested from the ether rather than from wave to molecule.  The Dance of Self..Non Self What I think is occurring is the nearly imperceptible( to most)arrival of the recognition of a transpersonal non self, which is evolutionary by it's organic nature, and that it is too often or nearly always mistaken for a non human individuated sentience because it is transpersonal and non local and yet bears a very strong bond toward our self as we define it in terms of consensus.  We are non local by nature and yet the capability to produce localized effects produce a highly paradoxical confusion as to it's source as we cannot rewire our paradigms either blithely or go back on our foundational errors when we are face with an evolutionary shift in position between the observer and the observed as to say they are the twin aspects of a unifying principle of reality that in a nested hierarchy are two sides of the same coin.  Non human sentience as aliens, demons, spirits, etc are ghost images in varying degrees of intermediate density in direct relation to the transpersonal reality of self, despite as being recognized as demonstrative straw dogs in a fun house mirror, they remain lodged as impediments between self and the non self in the continuum of holographic sentience.  As Autistics, perhaps what is occurring to us is the enfoldment in this virally growing transpersonal evolution of the species as early detectors of this new entangled field of a non local, shared consciousness repositioning itself in a transformed relationship between observation and the observed, which is also a redefinition of the boundaries superimposed upon the duality of self..not self.  Perhaps in this case the constituent portion of the holographic sentience we inhabit is the self, while the not self is also sentient and distinct by being the aggregate sum of it's facets. This new epoch is scattering the paradigms to and fro as if they were dry leaves at the end of Fall, or in the circles of self referential axiomatic error, while we watch and observe the portent and attributions of the confusion of tongues toward not as we assume is an exterior anomaly but we ourselves as we have become.. an anomaly to our perception..increasingly...when the dust settles...the previous, now existing pieces of the jigsaw paradigm will pass away to be replaced by the recognition of organic interrelationship between the reciprocal consciousness of self and non self consciousness toward materiality.  This overlapping contagion of western civilization which is based on the universe as an engineering demonstration of a rigid mechanical architecture may be viral as it is born from the fluidity of the dynamics inherent in a field and its evolution or ongoing development occurs through adopting and becoming what best allows it to evolve into greater awareness, through us and not originating in reverse from the mechanics of the closed system organic biology that is once again, represented as reality. The implications of this are fascinating to reflect upon. This is the alpha and the omega of a zero point in evolutionary terms...the butterfly sheds its cocoon from the caterpillar as the increase in energy needed to transform itself peaks toward a post mechanical and technologically based reformulation ..what is left behind is only the skin of a previous form, as a transformed manifestation of it's materiality emerges into a new relationship with it's natural environment by an eventual adaptation to circumstance. 4:36 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

  Some up and coming things for L.C.G.H. Hi all, As you can see, we are working on many things here! Some new theories as well as the audio and some of the direction that we have been moving. Soon, we will have an actual website up and that will come once we get some kinks out of some things and more content. My laptop was out of commsision for some time and when it came back a lot of other audio was erased. So, now I have to start all over with that! That's my luck sometimes, but you just have to deal and keep moving forward. So moving forward we are! Here are up coming things for L.C.G.H.- -We have an open case still on the South Side of Chicago -A new case in downtown Chicago at a swank Hookah Bar, which we will incorporate the production company that Matt and I are involved with called A.R.R.S. (soon a website up for that too). We want to do a documentary or just incorporate documentary style filming on some aspects. Maybe also use it more to do webisodes for upcoming ghost hunts or investigations when we get the website together. -Change the name to Lake County Paranormal Investigations and Research Society. This will happen once we get more content and when the website is up and running. This name change is for the next level in our growth as team and through our research. There are others involved with the actual research/philosophy of things that are behind the scenes at the moment. Also, there might be some member roles changing in our team who are active or inactive in some aspects of this. Through this name change will also be the style in investigating as I mentioned before. I want to find truth in everything from evidence to what people claim they are. KInda like when the S.P.R. first started in the 1880's. Also, connecting with other groups and sharing ideas and or working with them! -Soon in the works for a radio show, maybe give this BlogTalk a try. This way you all can interact as well as make it easier for us to discuss certain topics and introduce others who are in the field located within our state and elsewhere! I want to make more connections and share ideas so others can experience other perspectives. Thats really what I am personally about, sharing info! So, we are working on a lot beyond just ghost hunting and we really want others to share their perspective on all subjects involved with the paranormal. So, as I said before, don't be shy and please share your experiences and or theories and lets discuss! Check out the links and also the audio files we have, give us your input! Happy Memorial Day to all! If you have a website link (I mean personal or just something interesting) or something just to share, please post it on our group.  Justin Villarreal Founder of L.C.G.H. lakecountyghosthunters@yahoo.com http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LCGH http://www.myspace.com/lakecountyghosthunters

  Some places I visited in and around Lake County

  So since I got into this, I have heard many stories in and around Lake County and have had different experiences to the ones that I have visited on different accounts! I will only list the ones I visited personally or with some group! Of course, I don't condone going to any of these places without permission! Also, if anyone has any stories or personal experiences of these places mentioned, please post!Lake County-Cuba Rd.-I will add to places under this, White's Cemetery and Rainbow Rd. The cemetery has had many stories and much that are similar to Bachelor's Grove. I have never experienced any of the claims made about this place. Odd feelings for sure and maybe some orb pics at the very least! There is a possible mist pic that I have. I came from three possible locations. One in Grayslake and the others would be Rainbow Rd. and the cemetery. Rainbow Rd. has stories of a haunted mansion that is connected to mobsters and an insane asylum. I personal never seen or experienced anything paranormal nor have I been to these supposed places. I have never experienced anything that would lead me to consider them haunted.The Gate-I have been to this place many of times. I will have to say that I have never personally experienced any of the stories that were said of this place! No cries or the heads on the gate situation. One night I will have to say was interesting was a time that a navy officer came with us. It was a good night of good ol' huntin', a classic for sure! So, we have been in this place for a couple of hours for sure. I do believe that we have been there for about 4hrs or less. We were in this area and the EMF reader never went off and nothing visually happened. But, there were sounds that were heard. One in the group said that they heard faint children voices! I never heard them! But, the collective experience was a strange cry of a man or what we thought it sounded like. It came in and out of course and eerie. The direction actually came from an open field that we could not see anything in. The moon was full and light from it helped a lot. But, who knows what the sound really was and the actual location of it. What ever happened that night made our skeptic Navy man a believer in something. I myself felt unfulfilled, but would consider that night an interesting experience for sure. Still don't know if it is actually haunted, but more research and trips most be made. Haven't been there in a while.I do have a weird connecting story to that place. My mother is a foster parent and a set of kids that she had, their father actually killed there mother and dumped her body in the Desplaines River that flows next to it. He also worked and lived at the stables that is also next to it at the corner of River Rd.

  A good link on "Orbs"

  Hi all,This was posted on another group that I am on, thoughtto share the info for everyone. Always find the otherside of the coin, always research!"Push the envelope, watch it bend"http://www.sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/OrbCritic/orb_critic.htmJustin VillarrealFounder of L.C.G.H.lakecountyghosthunters@yahoo.comhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LCGHhttp://www.myspace.com/lakecountyghosthunters
