Ghosthound Blog - Part 2

Psychic Twit

This experiment seems anything but scientific.  If I’m to read this correctly, 7,000 random people were selected to take place in an experiment to validate a premise: That remote viewing is B.S.  It very well might be, but I have no idea.  And guess what? After asking 7,000 nobodies to guess where I am, I would still have no idea.  And what of the people that guess correctly?  Are they psychic?  Of the 7,000, 38% believe in remote viewing, while 16% believe they have the actual ability.  In one instance, 15% guessed correctly, pretty close to the percentage of people that believe they are remote viewers.

Maybe my experiement will be more conclusive.  Out of 2 people that read this blog, where am I right now?

Ghosthunting comes to your Nintendo DS

May 26th, 2009 by Ghosthound

Finally!

After the iPhone EMF and iPhone Ghost Buddy, Nintendo is in on the action with A Different Game’s Ghostwire. As a “Portal to the astral plane,” this Nintendo DS game will allow you to hunt ghosts and help find them peace.

If only it were that easy.  Although bringing the screen, camera, and stylus togother in harmony to hunt video game ghosts is a novel idea.

R.I.P. Hans Holzer

May 7th, 2009 by Ghosthound

Pioneering paranormal investigator Hans Holzer has died at his home in New York City on April, 26 2009.  Mr. Holzer was 89.

Hans Holzer’s books populate the occult section at many book sellers, and to me, should be considered one of the forefathers of paranormal investigations.  While many have come before him, Mr. Holzer pioneered modern paranormal investigation.

Gettysburg for Ghosthunters

April 30th, 2009 by Ghosthound

Vince Wilson at the Examiner gives a quick insight into Gettysburg travel for ghosthunters.  What can I say? I love Gettysburg for it’s war history and it’s haunted history.  I went a few years ago with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time.  There is so much to see and so many stories to hear.  I think you can go on tour over and over again and walk away with something different each time.  Even those not inclined to celebrate history will be more than fascinated by breadth and scope of the Battle of Gettysburg.

For the ghosthunter, Gettysburg offers some of the best places to gather evidence.  While Mr. Wilson rightly warns that the National Park is closed at night, there is certainly no shortage of places to investigate.  Oh, and before you go, be sure to read The Killer Angels by Michael Sharaa.
