Did you know that "ghosts," as far as seances, hauntings, etc., gained popularity in the 1800s when the Spiritualist movement gained traction? Mostly, Spiritualism sprang forth from the grief during and after the Civil War-for family members never knew what happened to their loved ones who went off to the war and were never heard from again.Spiritualist Mediumship, and the idea that people-mere mortals-could contact the dead directly-developed before and during the time the Fox Sisters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_sisters two young sisters in their cabin began having direct contact with the spirit of a murdered peddler buried in their basement.People came from miles around to hear the girls conduct "rapping" sessions with him via knockings on every wall of their cabin.Soon the girls were on the speaking circuit and the United States became drawn into the pastime of talking with the dead.
I've researched the subject of contacting the dead-including the physicists who began working hand-in-hand with the mediums of the 1800s.There are four 100+year-old Spiritualist communities that exist today:Lily Dale, NY, Harmony Grove, CA, Chesterfield, Indiana and Cassadaga that still exist.Training in classic mediumship techniques can help you become more intuitive-perhaps only a matter of being able to "sense" something enough to aim a camera and take a picture.We're big on evidence in this group-and the proof is in the pudding when you have state of the art technology.We use our technology to document contact from beyond.
As world issues become more critical, I do believe the veil between the living and the dead is becoming thinner. I believe conscienceness exists after death, and I'm a big fan of String Theory.Physics is a huge part of the answer to paranormal events-incidents that occur when the dead are able to touch our world.Let's face it-ghosts do exist, and you're going to be one of them sooner, or later....
This group educates the curious.You will learn•How to use mediumship and scientific tools•Meet us at designated areas where we will show you techniques to use mediumship and state-of-the-art tools and the theories behind them•Learn the history of ghost hunting•You will learn how to investigate a property to conduct your own pre-investigation before the paranormal investigation•If you are interested, you will learn how to develop your mediumship and intuition skills.If you've ever wondered if THEY exist-yes, Ghosts Happen.
Please, if you're serious about this subject, join us.We invite skeptics, but you must have respect for the subject matter, investigation techniques, and the people who conduct this kind of research.Under 18?Please contact me directly.
