CAN GHOSTS REALLY BE HAPPY???

Can ghosts be happy?  Huuummmm In my opinion......yes, some can.  One of the reasons a spirit haunts a location is because of a strong emotional tie.  In a residual haunting, there are no emotions.  Just a faint memory(so to speak) that just plays over and over with know interaction with us, the living.  But in an intelligent haunting, that's another story. In an intelligent haunting, I believe some spirits can be happy, even in their current situation of being caught in the middle.....you know....being stuck between the NOW world and heaven  or wherever their FINAL destination may be.

Have you heard of people that are visited by their loved ones that say they were reminded of something they really enjoyed that their loved one used to do?  Picture this......you sitting at your kitchen table, drinking your morning coffee or in my case, my chocolate milk, missing your grandmother and wishing you could just watch her baking cookies like she did so many times....in the kitchen and smell those....oh so good chocolate chip cookies again.  All the sudden, you smell cookies....and you can't help it, it makes YOU smile. Did grandma KNOW you were missing her so she was able to manifest the chocolate chip cookies smell??? I believe she did!!!  Now, do you think grandma is HAPPY about that??? Now have a great BIG SMILE on your face. You better KNOW she is!!!  You kinda' dismiss the smell even though it makes you smile.  You walk over to the cabinet to get out a bowl for cereal when as many times you have opened your cabinet you never really noticed THAT bowl way in the back.  Wait?  Isn't that the bowl grandma used to use when I was little?  So, sure enough, it is a small red bowl that your grandmother used to make your cereal in when you were young.  So, you get it out and use it.  Now, you are really HAPPY  enjoying your morning breakfast "with" grandma making HER very happy to!!!   See, even though our loved ones are gone physically, I think they still are able to "hang around" and be there for us when they need to.  And I don't think they find this some kind of burden, I think it brings them the same kind of happiness that we feel in our hearts.  So, yes....THEY can be happy.

Original photo taken in Decatur, Ill 

I watched these TWO people come down the stairs because they
said they heard a voice.  There are THREE people in this picture???

I added a heat sensor to the picture to make sure I really did see something here!!!  I think whoever was here at the Lincoln Theater in Decatur, Ill is here because they loved this place.  They stay here because it is a place that made them happy.  I was glad they decided to show their self to me. :))))  That made ME very happy. LOL

 Now, I don't think ALL spirits are content with the way things are.  Some are angry, some are sad, and some.....well....they just don't know what has happened to cause their situation.  And make KNOW mistake...I do feel if we can help a spirit cross over that we what we need to do!  Even though a spirit may be happy and content it is NOT where they belong.  There journey is NOT yet complete.  See, spirits get attached to things, people, places and objects just like we do.  You can bet....after I am gone...(and yes, I mean dead.lol) I will be back to watch you guys looking for me!  And if you think THAT won't make me happy......well....enough said!!! LOL

I feel that God knows there are certain things that make us happy here on earth.....cooking for the family, the outdoors, sewing, rocking in our favorite chair, dancing, playing the piano, anyway you get the point.  And I think HE still lets us enjoy these things...the best way he can.  So yes, ghosts can be happy and when you think about it......isn't  that what we really want for them...... to be happy......:)  Love to hear from you guys....do you think they can be happy or is there just no emotion that can be attached with a spirit?

POSTING ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER NAN.

Ok.  So a promise is a promise.  And I said once my blog reached over 50,000 views I would write about losing my Nan and my "visit" from him.  So you guys bare with me, I am working on it, but it is very difficult as I have not told but one or two people about "HIS visit" he had with me after his death that changed the rest of my life! I can't give you a exact date I will have it finished but I will be posting it soon.  I know I say this a lot, but without you guys, Becks Everyday Ghost Hunters would not be possible.  So together, we will continue....  :)

That's all....enjoy your weekend!  And send me your stories, I love them!!!
 

WHY DO SPIRITS HANG AROUND WATER? WHAT DOES WATER HAVE TO DO WITH IT???

Hi everyone!!  Man!  Is it just me or does it seem like it's been a long time since we talked????

Let's talk about ghosts and water.  What do they have to do with one another?  Have you ever gone into the kitchen late at night, in the dark, half a sleep and you turn on the facet and fill up a glass of water then slowly bring the glass up to your mouth and all the sudden you feel like someone is watching you???? Yeah....me neither!!!! haha Just a little "ghostly" humor on my part....trying to start out with something that sounded creepy. LOL

Again, Rose Hall-Bright orb

Ok.  Down to business.  Many paranormal investigators believe that water is a great conductor of electricity.  Could this explain why some old buildings seem to be more active than ones built recently?  Older buildings used much more water in their brick and mortar than today's materials.
In theory, the older the building gets, the water starts to evaporate and therefore, the residual haunting becomes weaker and weaker over time.

Battleship Texas-Very active

In front of the Battleship Texas-docked in the bay.

 And with this theory, it would explain why renovations or remodeling seem to make the "haunting" more active.  Inside some structures, water may be "locked in" and prevented from evaporating, like inside of the wall or in the foundation.  Disturbing that may cause the water that has been stored for decades to be released and in this way, allow its memory to be played.  This stored water could hold a higher quality copy of the original event and this could seem to make the location "active" again with "ghostly" activity.  Once this water also evaporates, the haunting then fades away once more.
Water is a conductor of electricity. (Not a great one though, but it does conduct). Water doesn't create the activity , it just seems to make it more intense.

I don't know really how much "stock" I personally put in this theory but I can say, that SEVERAL places I have investigated around or near water seem to be quite active.

The pictures I have posted throughout this post are all mine that I took in places near water. And I can say, that at these places I got lots of activity.   So, what do you think?  Could water be the "food" that the spirits need?  To manifest, to be stronger for us to see?  Seems to be a possibility.

SKEPTICS-YES WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM TO.



Not one word!!!  Doesn't EVERYONE
look like this when they are ghost hunting??? LOL

There are NO such things as ghosts.  That is just a speck of dust.  That is just fog.  That is just the lighting. Oh, that was someone in the background.  No, I don't hear a voice, just a lot of noise.

Yep.  I've heard it....... you've heard it.  Non-believers, skeptics.  They are out there and they are not going away.  So, what do we do?  We learn to live with them.(no pun intended).

Here's the thing....we are never going to be accepted into the scientific world as SOLID proof of the paranormal because in THEIR world they can re-create things over and over again, the same way, every time, the same time, every time, the same environment every time.(that's a lot of "every time's" isn't it. lol)  That is how they are able to say it "has been scientifically proven" because it happens the same way EVERY TIME over and over again to give them the same conclusion.  Example...every time they used the same glass and poured water over the ice, it would melt.  Conclusion....ice melts when you pour water over it.  I don't know about you.......but that's pretty much how it is for me when I go ghost hunting.  Every time I go out to a haunted house....I sit down, set up my equipment, grab a cold drink and say "Ok now I'm ready.  Come on down and show yourself".  And could you hurry up, I want to catch Dancing with the Stars tonight.  LOL  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

For us, unfortunately, we just can't get spirits to come and go on command.  I have spent countless nights.......sitting......and waiting.......for something to happen and it never does.  You know exactly what I am talking about.  Sometimes we see things....and sometimes we don't.  Whether we can prove it or not, we are always going to have people that are NOT going to believe in life after death...... no matter what evidence we present to them.

For me, I do it(research the paranormal)because I LOVE IT!!!!!!!  I am ALWAYS going to be looking for ways to communicate with my Nan(grandfather).  For those of you who are new to my blog, Nan is my grandfather and you will see me refer to him often because he IS the reason I even got started in this crazy world of the paranormal.  Anyway, searching for answers.....searching for the paranormal and proof there is life after death runs so deep in my soul, I couldn't stop even if I wanted to........my Nan won't let me.  :)

So, I DO NOT try to convince people of the paranormal or ghosts and the whole after life.  My solution to that is......COME WITH ME.  Make your OWN conclusions based on what YOU see and hear.  No tricks.....just come with me.  I do not get offended or upset if someone doesn't believe....I just smile......and say ok.  That's all.  I do not feel the need to get into a debate with someone on this subject, because no matter what.....I KNOW WHAT I SEE........I KNOW WHAT I HEAR.....I KNOW WHAT I FEEL.......and I KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE.  You know, some people like chocolate ice cream and some people like vanilla.  Why debate when BOTH are good.

So, let skeptics be skeptics.............and we will continue to do what we do best.................BELIEVE!!!

 

FOR ALL VETERANS...A GREAT BIG GHOSTLY THANK YOU!!!!

Whether you know someone personally, or have a family member currently serving our country...today take just a couple of minutes out of your busy day and THANK THEM(that's the least we can do for someone that does soooo much for us.)  Whether it is in spirit or you can thank them in person, lets not forget that WE can only lay our heads down each night on our soft pillows...and close our eyes and never think about  if tomorrow never comes BECAUSE of those who protect us while we sleep.  They sleep out in the cold and hot weather, with there heads resting on rocks, hearing gun shots ringing in a distance......so that YOU and I can sleep peacefully.

So here is a great big ghostly THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you have done and will do to protect this great country we live in!!!!!  May God watch over you and keep you safe.

See you guys tomorrow when my topic is "Skeptics, we have to deal with them to."  Again, my weekly topics are listed to the left of my blog under Upcoming Events/Topics.  And of course, if you have anything you would like me to discuss, PLEASE let me know.  You can email me at becksghosthunters@yahoo.com.   See you tomorrow.......:)

THERESA CAPUTO WAS AMAZING!!!!

 

I normally would not promote a medium unless I know of them personally or about them in depth.  I have followed Theresa Caputo-The Long Island Medium on TLC since she started on TV.  I love her!

I had the opportunity to attend one of her shows last night and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt I believe she is able to communicate with our deceased loved ones.  She was able to deliver unbelievable messages to some folks that I believe really needed them for their healing process.  I had hoped and prayed to communicate with my grandfather but after attending her show I realized that the people she read had suffered tremendous losses and many in very violent ways so I think my Nan(I called my grandfather Nan) knew this so he stepped back so that these spirits could come through with their healing messages.  That's just the kind of man my grandfather was.

Anyway if you get the chance to see Theresa GO!!!!  I don't think you will be disappointed.  Watching her was very powerful and many times there wasn't a dry eye in the house and other times she had us in stitches!  I just wanted to share that with you guys.  I'll see you on Tuesday. :)

CALLING ALL ANGELS!!!

I'm calling in all angels tonight!  If you follow me could you say a little prayer and ask that I get to re-connect with my grandfather tonight?  I'm going to see Theresa Caputo tonight and hoping for a message from my grandfather and re-connect if only for a short time!!!!

You guys rock!!!!!  Thanks so much for the support.

ORB IN MOTION AT MANTENO ALYSUM

Just wanted to share these photos with you.  This is an orb in motion at the Manteno Asylum in Illinois.  The time stamp is 8:42:13 and 8:42:16PM.

WHAT IS THIS AT THE MANTENO MENTAL ALYSUM???

Using a heat sensor. 

Two eyes and what is that squiggly thing?

Tried to enlarge for you.

Enlarged.



Original photo.

 

 

I just want to share this photo with you guys concerning my previous post on Manteno Asylum.  I'm not sure WHAT it is but I know it is something strange.  Paranormal??? Maybe.  What do you guys think it is??? Or is it just nothing?

ABANDON MANTENO MENTAL INSANE ASYLUM... HAUNTED??? WELL I WAS JUST THERE.....LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS PLACE.....

Imagine a place where the patients roam the halls yelling and screaming walking around in a daze because of shock treatments all through the night.  They would pound and bang on doors at all hours.  Therapy shock treatments like lobotomy, fever cabinets and who knows what else for mental               illness.  Even reports of government experiments on patients.  If you weren't crazy when you went in, there's a good chance you would be when you left.                                                                                                                                                       

 

Opened in 1929 and closed 1985 ...over 8,000 patient at once with just a little over 200 medical personnel this place is one for the books.  It's no wonder people claim to hear screams, cries, yelling and more.  One reason a spirit stays attached to a place is because it is a place with a great emotion.  Whether the emotion is happy or sad, spirits stay. I would say this place has it all!!!

 

 

 

I was fortunate enough to have an invite from White Dog Paranormal up in Chicago to join them at one of the most haunted places around.....Manteno Insane Asylum in Manteno, Illinois.  If you want to hear and see some amazing evidence please check out their site.                                         http://www.meetup.com/WhiteDogParanormalGroup/members/95105192/

 

I love these guys!!! And Michele (founder and lead investigator) is just fantastic!  Thank you White Dog Paranormal for letting me tag along....it                                    was  AWESOME!!!                                                                         

 

Ok.  Now to the investigation.  First let me say...I have posted a lot of pics and some of them I had to lighten because we were doing the investigation in complete dark. All we had were our flashlights.  I tried to post several different parts of the builds because I wanted to give you guys a feel for what it was really like there.  The weather conditions on the night we were there was cold and rainy so you will see us plenty bundled up. I am from Texas and it doesn't get cold in Texas so I dressed like I was headed to the North Pole.  If something had chased us, I would have never made it because I could barely put my arms down I had soooo many cloths on and like two pairs of pants so I walked like the Good Year Tire Guy.(you know the one...the little white guy that looks like a marshmallow with a little blue hat)  LOL

 

As we crawled in a broken door way, being very careful because everything was slick and wet...at first sight (even in the dark) you can't but help feel all the activity that once was inside these walls.  Although the floors were soaked with water because of the rain we were able to find very small area's that we could set up our equipment.  Without getting to detailed, let me tell you that we heard voices, some of children, saw balls of light, heard footsteps, saw shadows again and again and even near the underground basement that reportedly has underground tunnels attached to them so they could take the really unruly patients from building to building without going through the main entrance ....we heard GROWLING!!!  Yep.....GROWLING!!!  The basement area BY FAR...was extremely creepy!  We had some great flashlight communication and have some really awesome EVP's that I hope to post soon.  We still are going through our evidence.  Below is one of my FAVORITE photo's that Anthony with White Dog Paranormal caught inside.  This is what I call an Eco Mist.  It is a spirit that is trying to manifest itself.  This is an AMAZING photo!!!  For a ghost hunter....catching a photo like this is kinda like winning the GHOST lotto. LOL  You can see to the right side of the photo a very intense mist.  And before you even say it.... no.  It wasn't someone's breath.  You can see the location of AJ, an investigator with White Dog Paranormal and you can clearly tell that the mist is WAY above his head and on the far side of the room.



 

Manteno Insane Asylum-Photo by Anthony Pellegrino



 

There is just soooo much to write about on our experience at Manteno that I am really struggling to try and keep this short.  The next pic.... another unbelievable photo that Anthony also caught outside the entrance of this abandon place... I am beginning to wonder if there may be a portal to the left side of the main entrance.  For whatever reason.....the outside of this building just in trigged me. I just kept wanting to go investigate near the front entrance.  Can you imagine if you were walking up to this place....first.....seeing this size of the place and then hearing screams and cries coming from inside, knowing this is where you were going to be living???  The FEAR must have been crazy!(pardon the expression LOL)  First, you will see in MY photos(All the ones posted below are my original photos)number #7 and #8 that I believe shows the entrance to a portal because in photo 8. There are TONS of orbs or spirits clearly seen here and in the photo actually number 7 is taken immediately AFTER 8 and all the orbs are gone!!!! Within secs, they are GONE!!!  So, it couldn't have been dust...for two reasons...it had been raining and had stopped and second...because we had not been on that side of the building AT ALL so we couldn't have stirred anything up!  You'll notice the timestamp for proof.  This is sometimes an indication of a portal with two back to back photos and one having tons of orbs and the very next shot having absolutely none.

 

That along with Anthony's photo below showing again....another eerie MIST makes me really feel there is something definitely there!                                                                                                   

 

So, do I think this place holds secrets...tales that most of us would rather not know about...that only our friends in the spirit world know ???  You better believe it!!!!  Check back soon for the creepy EVP's we collected including one saying "BECKY".  Really???? Why me? LOL
