So, without further delay the Roundup starts in 3, 2, 1....
Did She See the Crash?
Channeling spirits of the dead or looking into the future generally isn't considered mainstream, but Ann Arbor psychic reader Joan St. John is doing her part to change that.No word on if her clients managed to avoid the crash in September. Why am I reminded of that old MadTV skit with Mrs. Leona Campbell (Stephanie Weir) where she calls up Miss Cleo and asks if she was working on September 10, 2001.St. John, who does business under a professional alias, has been offering practical services like psychic home inspections, crime and paranormal investigations and has even helped choose jurors as part of her business Joan St. John LLC for the past 20 years.
Since then, St. John said, she has regularly helped people from all walks of life evaluate their finances and career decisions, as well as their relationships with others, in a discreet Ann Arbor office, over the phone or by e-mail. (story)
Ghost Hunting Goes to Pot
Three teens in Genesee County apparently wanted a good scare.Alarms are scary when you're holding, I guess. Oh well, no ghosts but at least some burly cops appeared to them.
The 19, 17 and 16-year-olds allegedly broke into the Rolling Hills Paranormal Research Center in Bethany on Saturday night. It is said ghosts roam the hallways of the facility, which at one time was a poorhouse, an orphanage and an asylum.
Police said the three broke a few windows to gain entry and fled when an alarm sounded. They face trespassing and mischief charges.
19-year-old Robert Ferguson of Oakfield also faces a marijuana charge.
But Is the Surge Working?
SURGE Paranormal Group SEARCHING the UNKNOWN RESEARCHING for GHOST and EXTRATERRESTRIALSThey sound like nice folks but I loved the acronym. As you know the whole acronym thing is terribly cutesy and funny in my opinion. I've actually had people tell me they'd given up starting a group because they couldn't come up with "good initials". Anyway, SURGE, huh? Wonder what General Petraeus might have to say about them?
SURGE Paranormal Group was founded in San Gabriel Valley, California, in 2007 to collect evidence of paranormal activity. This group is made up of seven trained members in the paranormal field. We are a serious researcher group that follow a number of scientific protocols and share documentation of our research with other groups in an effort to discover proof that ghosts exist.
SURGE PG often goes about a pursuit in a prescribed manner in order to gather evidence of paranormal activity at a given location, or debunk "false positive" reports of haunting. The members have training on EMF Meters, digital thermometers, infrared, thermo graphic, and night vision cameras, handheld video cameras, digital audio recorders, and computers. The equipment is well maintain and used on all paranormal investigations. We do not charge for our service. (full listing)
Pull the Other One
Grant Wilson has been embattled since the live Halloween show on Ghost Hunters with speculation running wild that most of what happened was outright fakery. I have had my suspicions as well and this video nicely dissects the "jacket tug" and points out the possibility that this was a blatant fraud. It's compelling stuff and in line with my initial thoughts on watching the show.
Want Fries with that?
8o EVP's, huh? I've been doing investigation for quite awhile and we've gotten a handful of legitimate EVP's at some of the most "haunted" locations in the Southwest. So, 80 at a clip? 80... somehow that number just seems... well... 80?
Ghosthunters stake out The Depot Restaurant, and may have found proof the place is haunted. Today the owner got to see and hear evidence from a paranormal investigation done by a group called P.A.S.T. is Present.
"My first reaction was a little bit of shock," says owner Karl Pasten.
He listened to a recording of two team members chatting over walkie-talkie. In a pause between the two men talking, a third voice whispers, "don't hurt me."
Minutes after that was recorded, a photo was taken with a flash of white that looks like a fog or mist near the carpet. Investigators say they spent two hours trying to explain what it was.
In all investigators got 80 audio clips with voices or sounds. They still haven't debriefed Pasten on everything they found. He'll get a full presentation of the evidence next week. (story)
Happy New Year, everyone!

Regarding the video: I would have let doubt simmer if it weren't for this video. Dissect it all you want, but the thing that gets me is the fact that for - what must be minutes - he never takes his hand from that spot under his jacket - even has he's "tugged". It's weird and unnatural, giving me many doubts about their claims of being tugged by a phantom hand.
And, yes, acronyms are silly. I'm working on a manuscript that makes fun of that very thing.
When I saw the replay I noticed the unnatural arm position but since I saw only one angle thought he had simply used his hand to manipulate his heavy coat. Upon seeing this with all the angles it's fairly obvious it would have been a string contraption running down the lining of the coat to the collar.
No one keeps their hand in such an unnatural position for such a long period unless there's a reason. Especially when you look at the natural movements of his other hand and arm which swing while walking and move up and out when he is "tugged". Meanwhile, the other hand remains glued in place with the fingers looped under the jacket edge.
I hate to say it but it's pretty compelling stuff.
