Kickin' those ghosties to the CURB!

This last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a great investigation, where we were able to help a family get rid of a pesky and unwanted ghost/spirit (whatever you want to call it is fine with me :) )

This is the first time I have been a part of such a thing and found it absolutely fascinating. First of all, we have some amazing investigators that are so knowledgeable and able to use their skills for good, that it is awe inspiring to be able to work along side them and soak up all that experience! Without going into too much detail about the case, I will say this particular entity was icky and needed to move on. After stationing ourselves in the client's bedroom, we attempted to draw the entity into the room. It took a few tries, but I'll tell you this, you could DEFINITELY feel the room change when he arrived. I don't normally spook that easily at investigations, but I will admit, I was CREEPED the eff out. But no running, no turning on of lights, I stood my ground and didn't let it get to me. I knew this dude enjoyed being creepy and I didn't want to give it the satisfaction of knowing that he had succeeded.  After the investigators did their thing and we told it to leave, it didn't feel any different. As I stood there, I thought.. hmmm... it's not gone. Sure enough, he was still there. We gave it another try, this time with the client in the room. When it finally left, the room transformed instantly. It felt lighter, you could really tell that something had lifted from the atmosphere and a sort of peace had taken its place.  IT WAS SO FREAKIN' AWESOME.

We said our goodbyes and I left the investigation with such a satisfied feeling. THIS is what it's all about folks.  That family was going to sleep peacefully that night and the nights to follow. And for you skeptics out there, think of it this way...even if it IS all in our minds, minds were changed that night in a way that gave peace to someone. And that is all that we can hope for. To help those that need help. To make people less afraid and give them understanding that their home is THEIRS.  They get to decide who resides there, living OR dead ;)

API is getting ready to induct more members into the group and I am excited to meet some new folks, cause we are so super busy!! Case after case and weekends are filling up. And it's not just us, paranormal groups all over the country are getting slammed. Theories? Thoughts? Maybe all the paranormal shows now on TV? Are people finally coming out of the paranormal closet so to speak? hmmmmm.....

Have a good week everyone!
