About Me

My photo
Behind Every Cloud is a Kindred Spirit (BECKS)I lost my grandfather when I was 17. I had a VERY difficult time getting over it. How could I still communicate with him? I loved him so much I didn't think I could live without him. I read everything I could get my hands on to do with the "afterlife" and that started it all...the love of Ghost Hunting and the Paranormal. I have been researching the paranormal for over 37 years!! It is my way of staying in touch with my grandfather. Being a Ghost Hunter is not always as exciting as it seems on TV. Many nights I have sat in the dark and not a thing happened. BUT it is those times you DO get that one voice, that one explainable picture or have an experience that sends chills down your back that makes it sooo worth it all!!! My purpose of this blog is not to make people believe in ghosts but maybe to open their minds just a little bit... I LOVE this crazy thing called Ghost Hunting. It is as much a part of me as breathing. I am just a girl that refuses to accept we can't still contact our loved ones after they die. My grandfather won't let me.

Haunted Objects!-Do you have one???

Are you emotionally attached to any of your possessions and would never let go of those willingly? Spirits can feel the same way, and you may inadvertently bring one of theirs home in your next purchase at the antique store.

Spirits can attach themselves to things that they loved or had special meaning to them while they were living.  Just like you and I....our favorite coat, our favorite spot beside the lake, or our favorite painting.  It can be a place, a thing and sometimes even a person.  Maybe they loved going to a certain place and enjoying a favorite meal so after their passing, you feel or see them every time you go to that restaurant.  Maybe it's a special hair brush that meant something to that person and after their passing they just weren't willing to give it up!  So be careful what you purchase at an antique store, because you may purchase more than just that "table and chairs" you may also purchase the "dinner guest" as well. lol

And yes, sometimes it can be a person.  Spirits may want to stay behind because they loved someone so much!!  This is how I feel about that... IF you feel someone is staying behind BECAUSE OF you....you need to let them go... and ask them to "cross over" without you (go to "the light" some refer it).  It may be just my opinion, but this is what I think is best for THEM and YOU!  It doesn't mean you will never FEEL their presence again or their love surrounding you, it just means THEY are WHERE they should be....and so are you for that matter.  You have to move on....you have to continue living in the real world even though sometimes you feel you just can't move forward without them. THEY have to move on as well.  LOVE is the greatest gift you can give someone....so I believe when you love someone, you have to think about what is best for them.  Your loved one(or spirit) has NOT completed their journey or destiny if they have not "crossed over"completely. And remember, your loved ones would want the same for you.

Now when I pass, my daughter needs to know every Dr. Pepper and bar of chocolate she sees may be haunted by me because I don't know if I can live without those things.LOL

I have attached a interesting story of a painting and also a link to a video of a haunted doll.  Now, I don't know how much I'm buying into the "doll" video but it does look cool.  Let me know what you guys think.

Crying Boy Painting

The legend around this painting is as creepy as it gets. The stories began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred all around England.  Mysteriously, after all the debris was cleared, the only item that remained un-charred was the painting of the Crying Boy.  A Yorkshire fireman was so distraught by the occurrences that he told the story to a newspaper in England.  There were at that time more than one of these paintings around and each seemed to have the same effect.  Perhaps copies of the painting also transferred the curse as well.  The newspaper began receiving telephone calls from people all over the area that had similar stories to tell about the crying boy painting.  One person that contacted the “Sun” was Dora Mann of Mitcham and she has been quoted as saying "Only six months after I had bought the picture, my house was completely gutted by fire. All my paintings were destroyed, except the one of the crying boy."
After one month of hearing all the tales, the “Sun” gave their readers the chance to bring their crying boy paintings and have a large bonfire to destroy them.  All the paintings that were brought to the event were burned.  No one knows for sure where the painting originated from or who the artist might be, but it can't be just a coincidence that 40-50 similar cases occurred in the same time period.  The picture itself was a portrait painted by a Spanish artist of an orphan that was mass produced in the UK with several thousand in circulation.  It is said that the artist's studio burnt to the ground, and the boy was later killed in a car crash. It is said that the curse will only effect someone if the owner of the painting becomes aware of it. Some psychics have claimed that the painting is Haunted by the spirit of the boy it depicts.
