the touch

After my visual experience up in the hills of California, I was (to say the least) hungry for more. My curiosity was at it's peak and I was determined to figure out just what I had seen and scrutinize every single thing that happened the next time...IF there even was a next time.  Some "ghost hunters" have never even had an experience, so I felt fortunate to have seen whatever it was I saw. 

Going into my next investigation, I headed down to Red Bluff with the team to investigate a family's home that had been experiencing some paranormal activities. I had no knowledge of any of the activity or history and came into the investigation to do some scientific work. I was assigned to EMF and temperature readings.  For those of you that don't know what EMF is, it stands for Electro Magnetic Field. There are several reasons why we take EMF readings during an investigation. #1 - High levels of EMF can cause EMF sensitivity which can make a person feel as if they are experiencing something paranormal. It can cause feelings of dread, of being watched, nausea, fatigue etc... The 2nd reason is the theory that spirits can distort and manipulate EMFs. Therefore base readings are taken and then unknown sources of spikes in EMF can possibly be something anomalous.  

So, back to the investigation. We had just unpacked our gear and I had grabbed an EMF detector and a temperature gauge and was asked to follow one of our team members during a walk around the outside of the home. As I began to walk out of a sliding glass door, I felt a hand on my left shoulder grab me and try to pull me back into the house. And when I say pull, I mean, my shoulder went backwards just as if someone was standing there. I turned around instantly and when I saw that no one was there, I think all the blood drained from my head!! NO WAY. It couldn't be!!! My shoulder felt really weird. Tingly, slightly cold and it almost burned in a way. I sat down and tried not to make a scene. I just needed to shake it off, because I was shaken. Deep down, I knew what had just happened and it once again rattled me to my core. 

When sitting down didn't do the trick, I unassumingly excused myself and walked out the front door and sat in my car for about 5 minutes. As I sat there, a million and one things were going through my brain. I had just been touched by something that I couldn't see, but I felt it! I couldn't make that up. I wasn't looking for an experience, I was just walking out a door!  I took some good deep breaths and tried to ground myself back down to earth. Feeling better, I resumed my role as investigator and finished the night. While I had some other strange occurances that evening ( cold spots, feelings of dizziness) nothing really compared to that touch. 

Folks, this was HUGE. this was something I couldn't debunk. Unless of course, you can make the argument that my subconscious wanted to have this experience and I made it happen somehow. But aside from that far fetched theory, I had now had an personal experience that I would take to the bank. No one could take that away from me.  Things would continue to change for me and I was elated with what would come next in my quest for answers.  

Happy New Year to everyone! I am beyond excited for the possibilities that this new year will bring. Until next time... Happy Hunting!
