It’s been a busy spring so far. Not only am I gearing up for my workshop at the Haunted America Conference, but I’m also deep into the SHADOWS IN THE STATIC project with April Slaughter that will have us both heading towards a boots-on-the-ground investigation at Skinwalker Ranch. Mixed amid that excitement, I’m also popping […]
Per usual, I have no clue what I’m doing. I mean, it’s an honor to collaborate with my colleague April Slaughter and the Shadows in the Static project. It was April, and her book Reaching Beyond the Veil: Unlocking the Mystery of Modern Spirit Communication, which I read back in 2013, that were huge motivators […]
Matthew Jackson of the Paraholics and I have recently teamed up to work on a project unlike any other you’ve seen in the past. Having been colleagues for many years, we recently began to discuss a research project involving the Skinwalker phenomena that has recently gained popularity in the media as well as within the […]
September 18, 2022, Paraholics.com had the opportunity to investigate The Indiana State Sanatorium. My initial reaction to this location was “Holy shit, this place is massive.” I wasn’t mentally prepared to tackle such an enormous location, nor did I believe one night would do it justice. I knew the site existed here in my home […]
As part of the package I purchased for the Haunted America Conference, I bought an after-hours investigation at The Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, Illinois. The Mineral Springs is an iconic location I’ve always wanted to investigate. And yes, I’m a spoiled paranormal brat because I usually avoid group investigations at all costs — but […]
The Haunted America Conference is a paranormal soiree I’ve wanted to attend for years. It calls itself the supernatural event of the year. The biggest and best ghost conference in America is filled to the brim with speakers on ghosts, hauntings, the paranormal, the unexplained and offers workshops, ghost hunts, special events, and haunted tours. […]
You thought I forgot. Well, truth be known, I almost didn’t resurrect the Cabin Sessions. Why? Heck, if I know, but I figured if I made it an annual deal, I’d need to shake it up to keep myself interested. So I’m shaking it. The first edition of the Cabin Sessions was meant to test […]
Here is my summary of all eight volumes of The Cabin Sessions. The longer I work with ghost boxes, the stranger ITC reveals itself to be. So make sure you watch until the end as I place a pretty little bow on the paranormal, douse it in gasoline and burn it all down. If you’re […]
Well 2020 turned 21 and started drinking, and at PARAHOLICS we’re ready to cross the center line with ITC. Like I said in my Saturnalia post, I’m kicking off an 8-week controlled session spirit box experiment using my TR604 Steve’s Box from Hultay Paranormal. A controlled session involves predetermined parameters, so I’ll be conducting a […]
Video: If you’re familiar with my work, especially in ITC and specifically with spirit boxes, you know I believe we’re communicating with something. I’m not sure what this something is exactly. I’ll go along with whatever they call themselves — the dead, spirits, ghosts, demons, etc. — and call them that too, leading me to […]
I own several ghost boxes, all of which I think have their own personalities. Typically I say that to denote the uniqueness in how they sound — except for one, my Andre’s Ghost Box crafted from timbers salvaged from the Emmitt House catastrophe and outfitted with an incredible tuner from IDC Devices. My friend Jeff […]
I always enjoy it whenever my good friend Chris Maggard asks PARAHOLICS.COM to join in on one of his Urban X adventures. So we jumped at the opportunity to accompany him at OSPH. This post is NOT about that night — that will come later this fall. This is a post is highlighting my perceived […]
Video As I sit here upon finishing this video, I’m still shaking my head trying to make sense of all the different thoughts and feelings I have about it. So I’ll just stream it all out here. • First off, of all my trips to Waverly, this was the most intense. I’ve always walked away […]
On Halloween I attended a séance along with Evel Ogilville. The séance was the main event for Troy Taylor’s Spookapalooza, held in the old and reported-to-be-haunted Lincoln Square Theatre in Decatur, Illinois. The séance was conducted by April Slaughter, a well known and respected medium. Myself and the PARAHOLICS motley crew were invited by her to […]
Warning: explicit language Stepp Cemetery is located deep within the Morgan – Monroe State Forest, south of Martinsville. The grave markers that remain indicate that the site is the final resting place for at least 32 people–mostly young women and children–the oldest of whom passed away in the early nineteenth century. The richness of legend […]
