The Menger Hotel-Second look

The Courtyard at the Menger Hotel

Inside this beautiful hotel

Hall of the Menger

An orb seems to be "hanging" around the same spot
where I got a picture of a "face" in another photo at the Menger

Again, an orb keeps showing up on this end of the Menger

So, here are some photo's that I took last summer at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Tx.  I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!  I come here everytime I'm in San Antonio.  When I was first trying to get a Certification in the Paranormal I did my research paper here.  I had sooooo many experiences here.  I thought I would share a couple of them with you.  I have talked about the Menger before but it is such a wonderful place I wanted to talk about it again. 

One of the first things I want to tell you guys about is... the above picture of the hallway.  I had gotten out by myself around midnight to start my investigation.  I had informed the manager of the hotel that I was doing a research paper and he was very nice and said go anywhere I wanted.  I believe it was on the third floor and I was walking around with an EMF meter taking notes.  I was all alone on one of the top floors or should I say in the hallway.  I was walking down the hall with my head down looking at the EMF meter and I could hear someone coming up from behind me.  The footsteps were so loud and clear that I just stepped over to the side of the hall and still with my head down and trying to put my meter down to my side(as I didn't want to cause any suspicion) and said out loud "oh excuse me" TOTALLY expecting to see someone pass by me.  The footsteps had gotten so loud coming up from behind me and then they stopped!  I looked up and there was no one there!  Are you kidding me???? No way!  How could there not be ANYONE there??? The footsteps were so clear...I just couldn't believe it!  I never for one minute doubted that someone( a real person) was walking up behind me...but I guess I was wrong.

The same night, after I heard the footsteps, I decided to go outside to the courtyard.  How beautiful and peaceful this place is!  I was walking around outside and later got one of the BEST Photo's I have ever gotten of a gentleman's face in the courtyard.  I submitted it with my research paper and got and A+! lol  If you get a chance, you HAVE to go check the Menger out.  And maybe send the night.

Ok....back to my story.  After spending about an hour out in the courtyard, it was late, around 2:00am by now and time to call it a night.  I went inside to go up to my room.  The elevators at the Menger are the ol' timey kind that has a big giant needle at the top that shows it going up and down.  I was standing in the lobby all alone and saw that the elevator was going UP to the top floor as I could see the needle going up.  And the way this elevator works is once it is at the top floor and I believe it has 5 or more...then you watch it come back down as you see the needle coming down and stopping on each of the floors.  Well, I was standing in front of the elevator watching it go up and I was sooooo tired and I said out loud to myself "oh man!  Now I'm going to have to wait until it comes all the way back down and I am so tired....." then ALL OF THE SUDDEN the elevator door OPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!! I just stood there and watched it go to the top floor....there is NO WAY this elevator could have came back down and the door just open automatically!  I stood there with my mouth wide open....It was funny because I started looking around to see if anyone else SAW THAT!!!!  And of course, there was no one around but me.  So, even though it scared me....I couldn't help but think...ok...someone opened the elevator for me so I don't have to wait YOU have to get in!  So I took little baby steps...but finally walked inside.  Once inside I just stood there.  Never moving my head but my eyes where looking all around.  I just push the button for my floor and said "thank you"....and I think I held my breath until that elevator door opened!  Once it opened I stepped and looked back and said "thank you again" and went to my room.  I will never forget this.  It was wayyyyy cool.

This is not a scary place.  It really seems like you get a since of relaxation and the people who came here, really enjoyed their stay....so much.... I guess some guest decided not to leave. :)

Portal to the other side- This is the real deal!!!!

Ok.  I have been wanting to post this picture FOREVER!!!  But I promised myself that when I reached over 10,000 views I would post this. Before I tell you my story I want to THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU for reading my blog!!!!!  If it weren't for you guys, I would not be doing it. 

Now, sorry I can't say where or when the picture below was taken  So, I am going to try and do this without breaking a promise not disclose the location of the photo.

I did an investigation in a Texas hospital a while back, which seemed to have lots of paranormal activity such as things moving by themselves, voices, lights going on and off in vacant rooms and some of the claims were that the employees felt as if there was a portal in the hospital.  Which is not surprising. Of course where you would have so much death and tragic events like this, it is very likely. Anyway, so I went to do an investigation one night around 11:00pm(at the request from the hospital).  After following procedure of signing in for security purposes, I began my investigation.  I was assigned a security guard to go with me.

Now, when your in a hospital you just can't walk around taking pictures and using EMF meters because you would scare people.  I could just hear me saying to the patients "excuse me....so I know your sick and all...but do you have anything strange going on in your room?" lol  So, trying to be discrete, I talked to several of the nurses and employees and they began to tell me about some of their experiences.  One of the stories that they told me was the night before I was there, they had to move two patients out of a particular room because they both complained of a "little girl" bouncing a ball in their room.  Now, this was two different patients that knew nothing of each others claims.  One man even said that he had a package of "chicklets" gum sitting by his bed and the box began to shake all by itself!!!  It scared him and he out of that room! But the night I was there, they had already put another patient in the room so I could not go in.

Instead, the security guard and I started underneath the hospital.  You could go down to the basement of the hospital and actually go underneath where the floor was nothing but dirt and you could see the beams of medal and wood the hospital was built on.  The hospital was built back in the early 1800's and had even been reported to have been built on an "old Indian burial".

While down in the basement, there were some employees sitting around a table on break.  I was asking them about some of the claims. They told me they believed the hospital was DIFFIDENTLY haunted! Not only that but they believed there was a portal down underneath the hospital.  They all would just have these creepy feelings and see shadows. One of the employees offered to show me around and share with me some of his experiences.  I think there were four employees that night on break and all four STRONGLY believed there was a portal.

Now, here is where it gets good.  I wanted to take a picture of my "guide" so this was the first picture I took.  I was really just taking HIS picture before we began our tour. By now, it's like 2:00am in the morning. Nothing interesting to take a picture of, just him standing in front of a concert wall.  I blacked out his face and badge to protect him. 

But look what I got when I got home to review my photos!  It looks like an "open ended tunnel"!  You can see that it looks that you could just walk right through it and be outside.  You can see how it appears to have the sun shining down on the other end.  It also looks like "greenery" to the left of some stairs.  Do you see that?  Another thing, the little carts over to the left, I know this is hard to believe, but they weren't there!  I took the picture, there was nothing there but a man standing in front of a wall.  I drew a line above where I believe the wall was and I do remember seeing that big pipe going across, but that was it!  Everything else in this picture WAS NOT THERE!!!

I sent this picture back to the hospital and ask if they knew if this could be a reflection of something?  And ask them to please go down to where we were and see if it would make since to them.  They sent me an email back saying there was nothing of ANY KIND that would have made a reflexion.  And the carts where not there either!  They could provide me with no reasonable explanation for this photo.  And let me remind you, I was way underneath the hospital and it was around 2:00am in the morning.  How could there possibly be light or sunshine?  This is AMAZING!!!!!  Because there was absolutely nothing behind this man but a concert wall!!!!!

I believe this to be a TRUE picture of a portal.

Love to hear your thougts.... 



Guardian Angels are among us...

There are two orbs (one left to window and one above the arch) possibly three(far left just coming into the pic).  I believe that my niece was not without her guardian angels...Grandma and Grandpa Watson.  They are watching over and making sure things are going as planned.  This is during rehearsal for my niece, Alley's wedding.

This is a picture that I took a few years back that for some reason seems so sad to me.  I took it in front of the Alamo.  It is  a plaque(on the ground with a light) that talks about the ones we lost at the Alamo.  Is this THEIR guardian angel?

So, I wanted to talk just a little bit about guardian angels.  First, I want to say that I believe in them!  So many times, people confuse ghost as "evil" or "bad" spirits and that's not always the case.  I hate that the perception is that.  I hear it so many times..."it's a ghost....it's going to hurt us!!!"  Ok.  I am going to try not to sound to "preachy" here...but so many things are changing in my life right now and I feel I have to express my opinion on the idea of ghost are always "bad".

I believe that we all have a purpose...now... we may not always know what that purpose is but there is a reason each and every one of us are here.  I want to talk a little bit about something or should I say SOMEONE that was and IS very special to me.  When I was 17 I lost my grandfather very suddenly.  I WAS DEVASTATED!!!!  I have never known such unconditional love as I did with him.  It was because of his death that I even got started in the paranormal.  You see, I struggled...daily to try and make since of why God would take someone so kind and gentle and leave me here.  I decided that I just couldn't accept his passing. I didn't get to say good-bye because it was so sudden and this haunted me for years.  After he passed, I decided to read everything I could about how to communicate with the dead or what happens in the afterlife.  I just couldn't let go!!!  And that's where is all started...and here I am today talking with you guys and I love hearing your stories and sharing mine. WOW. This sounds sooooo serious and it's not suppose to be. LOL(See, I through in LOL now it's not so serious.)

Anyway back to my story.  I have been doing the paranormal stuff for over 30 years and have NEVER lost interest in it.  For whatever reason, all of the sudden people are starting to take notice of my work.  I am writing a book, blogging, been in the papers and magazine's, have a paranormal group and now working on a TV show.  These are ALL like dreams come true for me.  I can not help but feel that MY GUARDIAN ANGEL, NAN (that is what I called my grandfather) knows just whats going on and why.  I feel like if Nan hadn't passed so suddenly, that I would have never gotten interested in this field and the paranormal has got me...hook, line and sinker! lol  I think there is a reason that all this is happening.  And for me, I feel like it is a plan...that will keep me and my grandfather connected FOREVER!  I totally think he has had a hand in all the wonderful things going on for me right now and he knew how much it would mean to me and at times when I could have lost faith in what was going in my life, the paranormal was my distraction that helped me pick myself up and move forward.

So, what I really want you guys to take away from my story is...your LOVED ONES are ALWAYS with you and whether you know it or not, they are watching over you and making sure YOU complete your journey.  And if we are LUCKY enough, we may sometimes get to SEE or HEAR from them.  Ghosts are not always bad(although they can be) so next time you hear someone say that "ghosts are evil or bad" do me a favor and ask them to remember that one time, they were living just like you and I.  They may be YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL!  Also, just let me though in this quick note about that....if you were a "good person" here on earth you will be a good person in the spirit world...and if you were a "bad person" you don't get to die and suddenly become "good".   It just doesn't work that way!  So treat everyone you come into contact with (living or dead) with respect and kindness.  That is why we may have some spirits that seem.......lets just say "CRANKY".  They weren't nice while they were living so they are not nice in the afterlife.  Just food for thought.

How do you feel about guardian angels?  I would love to hear from you. :)

Old Alton Bridge-2

Hi everyone!  I'm back.  I am sorry I have not been posting lately but I have been sooooo busy with trying to get one of my stories on the Lifetime Channel.  I never knew how much there is to put together for a 30 minute segment. lol  But cross your fingers and say a little prayer for me that it all works out.

Right now, it's looks great!  Looks like we will be on the Lifetime Channel for the Fall Season. YEAH!

I can not post any of the COOL video's we have of a ball rolling, awesome voices, and even a child shadow figure we have on video!  They want to use it for the show.

So, I thought I would post a couple of the pictures for you guys.  The Old Alton Bridge in my option, is very haunted I have been back several times since the previous pictures I posted of the shadows and have gotten great stuff!  There are three spirits that we have communicated with Oscar,(was hung)Steve(member KKK) and Ellen(Eleanor Daughtry).  I can't wait to post all the cool stuff we have from this bridge, but have to wait until the show airs.

• Orb in the fork of the trail

Chills on my arm and the hair on the back of my neck stand up as well as the temperature dropping 6 degrees around me when I ask "Steve" the spirit of a KKK member to come stand by me!
