WHAT CAN SPIRITS DO AND NOT DO

let's talk about the most important information about what spirits can or cannot do. You might be surprised that some of the scariest things that can happen don't just wait for Halloween. 

1. Spirits have the ability to effect you mentally, physically, and emotionally

No one ghost is the same as another. Each spirit has the ability to do various task depending on the level of strength they have accumulated. Though not common, a spirit does have the ability to physically attack you. A ghost might also have the ability the effect you emotionally with things such as unexplained extreme mood swings. An extremely advanced spirit can even manipulate you mentally and challenge the reality that surrounds you.

2. A ghost does have the ability to manipulate objects

Over the course of my paranormal journey I cannot count the number of inanimate objects that I have seen moved or thrown without a natural force or explanation. I recall one time on an investigation, an item was thrown off of a stove by an unseen force directly at another investigator and myself. Spirits have the absolute ability to manipulate inanimate object. Depending on the strength of the spirit, it is possible for doors to be opened or closed, items to be thrown, items to be moved from one place to another, and even the manipulation of electrical lights. There really is not set limitation to what a spirit can physically manipulate. 

3. A ghost is a ghost and DEMONS are rare

Due to the widely broadcast shows about the paranormal field, there has been a large amount of "demon" hysteria that has taken root within the minds of those who watch these shows. I want to go on record now as saying yes, things do exist that some would classify as a demon. BUT let's take a minute to evaluate the term "demon". No matter your respective beliefs, the word "demon" was coined as a religious term to describe those inhuman things that battle against good and are theorized to come after our humanly souls. Like many deviations in the English language the term "demon" doesn't simply cover everything evil and sinister in the world. I personally believe an individual who murders or hurts children is evil, but that doesn't make them a demon. When a person dies, whether they are a rapist, murderer, or saint; who they are in the moral guidance of life does not simply transpire to angelic nature because they have now died. To put it simply, someone nasty and sinister in life will be nasty and sinister in death. This doesn't make the ghost a demon, but essentially reflects the person is the same level of bad in death they were in life. With all of this being said, please be aware a true demonic haunting is extremely rare. Most of you reading this have a better chance at winning the lottery then being attacked by a "demon". Demonic haunts are not simply removed or cast away, these entities have no restraint of time and will wait in order to reek terror and disaster through a families entire lineage. There are many "demonologist" that certify themselves as ready to take on any demon, but truthfully if they came across an actual demonic haunt they would run in the opposite direction. What's a good rule of thumb? If what you are experiencing is not beyond and more extreme then what you have seen on TV and on the big screen, then you can bet you are just dealing with some type of ghost. 

4. Spirits tend to be more concentrated in places that have experienced a lot of death or birth 

There are many scientific theories within the paranormal field as to why places are haunted and why some places are more haunted then others. I could not write a simple small answer to give any of these brilliant minds the justice they deserve for their theories, so I will offer what I will classify as my own personal belief. I personally believe that locations which experience a large amount of death or birth disrupt the natural balance of energy in the world which we all live. Basic elementary science, energy of any kind is neither created or destroyed. Energy is transferred or moved. Locations such as hospitals, battle fields, and sites of horrific deaths emit a lot of energy into the world we live in to go "beyond". This energy being so concentrated in one spot easily explains why places with a high volume of deaths or births have an extremely larger amount of spirit activity. 

5. There is no proven reason why ghosts are here or reach out

If you believe everything you see on TV and the big screen, then you will also believe that spirits are here because they have unfinished business or are simply angry to the injustice done to them in the world. I am going to take a small moment to throw a huge monkey wrench in all those claims. Why are spirits still here and making contact with us? Well the answer isn't as black and white as you have been lead to believe. Sure, some ghost might be hanging around with unfinished business or because of some grave injustice. Let's be real though. No one spirit is hanging out at your house ALL the time. Spirits have the ability to come and go as they please. No one spirit is reaching out or still here because of one simplified reason. I personally believe that spirits have the ability to come and go from the various levels of reality as we know it. This would explain why when so many people are dying they tell others they see those loved one's that have passed before them. I fully believe loved one's come and go to help us guide. Be honest with yourself and your beliefs, and you will conclude God is a busy guy. There is no way one God could watch us all, hear us all, and protect us all. I would challenge the idea that spirits of our loved ones who have passed are there to hear us, watch over us, and guide us to the next step after death. My point? Ghosts are everywhere and for all different types of possible reasons, some spirits can come and go as they see fit. At the end of it all though, it is comforting to know we are watched over and reached out too by the one's we have loved that are no longer with us in their physical form.

THE MILLS CEMETERY, GARLAND, TX-WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS FAMILY IS UNTHINKABLE!-RE-POST

I wanted to do a re-post on the Mills Cemetery just because I really like this place and I really liked the spirits I encountered here.  Also, it reminded me of the devastation that Canton, Tx experienced this last week-end.  The small community of Canton which is about an hour East of Dallas was destroyed by an F4 Tornado which stayed on the ground for 51 miles!!!  In its path it crossed the small town as well as a major highway where cars were completely caught off guard.

This is a small community with limited resources so please if you can find a way to help the people of Canton, please do and keep them in your prayers.
To donate

Thank you in advance and enjoy this weeks post. :)

The Mills Cemetery, Garland, Tx

The Smiley's

Mills Cemetery, Garland, Tx

I am going just a little off course today, I was going to write about "How spirits help us" and I plan on posting that later this week, but today I want to write about a cemetery and in particular the gravesite of the Smiley family.  One of my viewers wrote and told me about this place last year and it has become one of my most poplar stories with the most comments. Until this past weekend I had not been there myself.

When I first drove up, I thought it was a very pretty, little area, but I had never been to a place that the road runs between TWO different cemeteries side by side before.  But this one does!  On one side, is the supposedly the haunted Mills Cemetery and just to the other side is the Garland Cemetery.  I thought this was a bit odd but....you know....whatever. :)

I went there all alone and now I am really glad I did.(As you will see).  I pulled down into the cemetery and parked the car.  I can tell you from the moment I opened the door and stepped out of the car, I felt a peaceful feeling come over me, which I DIDN'T expect...... because THIS is suppose to be a really ACTIVE HAUNTED cemetery.  I can remember thinking to myself....well this isn't SCARY......it's really nice.



  

As I got out my equipment, I began walking across the cemetery and found the Smiley site fairly easy.  Now, let me tell you what I have heard about the Smiley family.  One story is...... that Mr. Smiley went crazy and killed his entire family then himself and now he wonders the cemetery at night looking for his next victim.  Another story is that if you lay down on the ground in front of the headstone on Halloween you won't be able to get up or you will feel Mr. Smiley grabbing you trying to pull you down.  And then there is the story.....that back on May 9, 1927 the Smiley family came to their untimely death when a tornado tore through Garland which was devastating and is now referred to as the great "Garland Cyclone".  Seventeen people were dead and five of them from the same family......The Smiley's.

                                                                    

So I sat my recorder and flashlight on top of the tombstone and sat down in front of the Smiley's with my Dr. Pepper in hand and began just talking to the family.  I had EXCELLENT flashlight communication and not anything I think  is really to impressive on EVP's but I am going to go over my data again and will let you know if I find something else.  Here is a brief clip of my flashlight session with THE GIRLS(daughters).  Now, I don't want to hear ONE comment on the singing..... It was just me and the girls at this point....I wanted to do something with JUST them because I feel maybe lots of questions are directed to Mr. and Mrs. Smiley.  I did ask Mr. Smiley if it "upset him" about the things written about him and I even read him three articles written on his family.  The response was very clearly a "YES" it upset him about the bad things he had supposedly done.  I also found out Mrs. Smiley is VERY close to her daughters and loves to cook. :)

Now, I have ALWAYS been honest with my readers and I try to tell it "like it is" or at least the way I see it........so I am going to do that again.  Guys....and gals.....lol.....we ALL want to have a great paranormal experience BUT in the process we have to get the FACTS right!!!  I feel compelled to say this (especially after my session with MR. SMILEY).....people by no fault of their own....easily repeat what they hear......such as......that ol' house on the hill is sooooo haunted because you can see lights in it at night....when the REAL story is YES you do see lights in the house at night because a family bought the house and are doing repairs at night and don't have the electricity turned on yet.....or........don't go there because the BIG EVIL GHOST will get you!!!!  Anyway....you get my point.  Here are the FACTS on the Smiley family as I know them.  The Father, Mother and three daughters did die in a tornado on May 9, 1927 while they slept in the early morning hours around 3am.  One daughter did survive.  That's it folks.  That's the story.  So, I am putting myself in the families shoes.  I wouldn't like people going around saying that a relative of mine MURDERED his family and then KILLED himself when the painful true is soooo different.  So, lets be respectful of that. A good Ghost Hunter reports his/her finding based on facts NOT Legends.   IF Mr. Smiley wonders the cemetery at night......it is my guess it's NOT because he is looking for his next victim.......it is because it's a WONDERFUL place to take a night stroll and enjoy the fresh air. :) That's MY TWO CENTS :)



Rest in Peace and thanks for the visit.



ANDERSON HOTEL SHUTS DOWN INVESTIGATIONS AFTER CRAZINESS

FILMING WITH THE GHOST ADVENTURES CREW AT THE GOATMAN'S BRIDGE IN DENTON, TX-A BRIDGE WITH SO MUCH DARK HISTORY...WILL WE SURVIVE??

GHOST ADVENTURES HERE WE COME!!!

WOW!!! What a surprise to get a call from the Ghost Adventures producer to feature me on a 2-hour Halloween Special!!!  What????  How did that happen??? Did they call the right number? However it did....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, where do I start!  I'm going to make this short and sweet.  They wanted to do a special on the Old Alton Bridge in Denton, Tx where I give ghost tours.  The bridge is better known as "Goatman's Bridge" by the locals.  They wanted to know if I would appear in a 2-Hour Halloween Special.  Now,  if I'm being honest......HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was jumping around all over my house and at the same time trying to play it "Cool" on the phone with the producer...."well, sure....I guess I could do that". LOL   They ask me to gather a couple of people that I knew had had an experience at the bridge so I asked Belynda DiCiaccio and Phoebe Birt.

It ended up being a "family affair" because Belynda's son Kaleb, my daughter Lindsey and Belynda's husband Mark all got to do some reenacting for the show!!!  This bridge has a VERY DARK PAST full of murder, suicide, death, torture and very evil souls that remain tied to this bridge.  Now, before I can go any further I also want to thank my boyfriend Deak who was AMAZING through this whole process!!!  It took about threes day to complete and he just let me "do my thing" and never complained and was soooo supportive!   Thank you honey...I love you tons and tons!!!! 

Now, the burning question on everyone's mind???  What is Zak really like???   Lol.  Well he definitely is as cute in person as he is on TV!  The other guys are soooo nice as well.  I can definitely tell you that Zak runs "the show".  Telling everyone where to stand and what to do.  Business....very business like!!!  No room for small talk at all. lol

Also, I don't know how many of you are from Texas but it's HOT HERE!!!!  Sweat ran down our faces the whole time we were there.  I don't think the Ghost Adventures Crew was ready for the heat!

This bridge has a dark history that includes....murder, suicide, torture, missing children and lots and lots of violence!  Every time we are at the bridge we always get great EVP's and pictures.  If you look at the top of my blog you will see information about the bridge and check out all the pictures we have gotten there.  And also, there will be other stories on the special besides ours.  It's not just two hours of the bridge.

Now, this will air on the Travel Channel on October 29th, 2016.  I'm not sure of the times so check your guide.  And I don't want to hear any comments about how bad I looked because it was like 110 degrees and I had on black standing in the sun!!! LOL  I can tell you that SOMETHING did happen to one of the Ghost Adventures Film Crew while filming.  It was not planned and it did STOP production for quite a while!  It was VERY SCARY so don't miss it!!!

One last thing, this is a TV SHOW so they REALLY play it up big!!!  They only wanted to know about the EVIL things that took place at the bridge and not really interested in the history.  So keep that in mind when watching. :)

One last thing....I LOVED GETTING to do this!!!  I have ALWAYS wanted to have some of my paranormal photos and experience recognized on TV......not so I can say "I'm a star" or "famous" or anything like that.....just wanted someone to validate that the things I do or research are "good enough" to be on TV.  My whole life has been devoted to the paranormal in honor of my grandfather (I know that's weird to some of you) and for some CRAZY reason I just always felt if I get my stuff on TV that my grandfather and I could say...."we'll we DID IT and WE DID IT TOGETHER"!!!!  

Well, that dream came true a few years back when I got to go to LA and film for my Ghost Stories but to be able to do it a SECOND TIME....there are no words............NONE.....none that I can think of that could express my gratitude and how LUCKY I have been!  Some people's dreams DO come true....and some people.....well.........some people like me...........do something crazy in life like Ghost Hunting that others don't always understand......and get to be on TOP OF THE WORLD and yell.........Thank you......I DID IT........ TWICE!!!!!(That got a little mushy didn't it? LOL)  

The pictures below are just some that we took while filming.  Be sure to notice the ones I have circled.   They are not great but I wanted to show them to you anyway.  One, has a light mist.  It's kinda' hard to see and the other SEEMS to have well....horns on the top of it!!!  See what you think and DON'T FORGET TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to tell but there seems
to be a "light mist" in this pic.
