Antietam Paranormal Society

During a visit to Walmart, I was standing in the checkout lane placing my items on the check out belt facing the cashier. All of the sudden I felt an invasive energy bump into me which was gray and chaotic. I turned and a woman had come up to stand in line behind me. Her aura had a lot of darkness to it which usually indicates that she has a lot of gunk build up caused by stress, negativity, or illness (maybe all three). I've never been the person to initiate conversation with anyone, so I never approached her, but I do know she needed help. The everyday person either doesn't believe in this type of new age or metaphysical view or they just don't think about the possibility that certain types of self care that focuses on energy or the aura can help them. As I developed my abilities I realized how much better I felt when I spent time focusing on keeping my aura clean and making sure that my spiritual needs were met. Life can be very negative, that negativity is in the energy

While I have experienced a few cases that I would label as having a portal, I don't have a lot of data that really supports these conclusions. This is where my frequent mention of making sure to have high standards and protocols when investigating paranormal cases is VERY important. A lot of our conclusions may be based on intuition or instincts but also on looking at all the facts and drawing a conclusion based on the information provided. Is this proof? No, but making sure you are completely honest and document EVERYTHING in a thorough manner is how your conclusions can be more trustworthy. With that being said what is a Spirit Portal? I shared a definition earlier this morning, however Amanda Linette Meder shares that it is any person, place, or object that acts as a channel for unrelated spiritual beings to travel to and from the physical realm we know as Earth. This is the best and most well rounded definition that resonates with our findings. She also says that it is usually

As usual I found this used book at my favorite place, Wonder Book and Video.  I don't usually purchase books that are part of a collection but this one had some interesting information on the first page I turned to and I was hooked. Published by Doubleday and Company, Inc and as part of "A New Library of the Supernatural" that is comprised of 20 books on various topics like "Visitors From Outer Space" and "Spirits and Spirit Worlds". Be aware that this book has A LOT OF PICTURES and they are amazing! I especially want to note that the Editorial Consultants are Colin Wilson and Dr. Christopher Evans, which tells me they had an excellent collaborative team to create this particular book.  The chapters of the book are comprised of history, types of apparitions, haunted places, "unhuman" ghosts, legends and folklore, poltergeists, investigating, and explanations. As an avid paranormal reader I will have to say some of the best books regarding the

In the world of paranormal investigation, residential paranormal investigations are possibly the hardest and most rewarding. While not every team does residential paranormal investigations, it is a good idea for every team to know what you are up against if you decide to take on the investigation of someone's home. Above all remember that you as the investigator get to go home and put their case out of your mind, they live there and it is a safe space for them. Don't make their situation worse! Here are somethings that I like to make sure people understand and think about prior to diving into an investigation. Do you have the time? People experiencing paranormal phenomena in their home can be terrified, especially if they have children. Be prepared to have messages in your inbox, texts, and phone calls all hours of the day and night. While we may understand a few things about what may or may not be paranormal, they look to you for answers even at 3 AM. If you can't commit

  CODE OF ETHICS AND PROTOCOLS FOR THE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR AND RESEARCHER PREFACE: A paranormal investigator’s (the “researcher”) goal is to obtain objective and detailed data to support or invalidate paranormal phenomena. Researcher’s maintain that the process of cases involving paranormal phenomena include personal property, historic significance, religious interests, opposing opinion, and public image. In reaching the goal of objective and detailed data the researcher has certain obligations to the client, the paranormal research community, their team, and their own individual character. The researcher should consider their work to include other avenues outside the paranormal case which include; education, community outreach/ service, continuing education, and public inclusion. The following Code of Ethics outlines the principles and protocols researcher should maintain; during the paranormal case, in social settings, and beyond. These principles include integrity, respe

There is only so much information you can gather from a potential client through phone calls and  emails, so it can be really important to do a pre-investigation walk through a week to a few days before the investigation itself. While it isn't always possible to schedule a walk through, it is a great way to be fully prepared the day of the investigation. If you can't do it in advance of the investigation day, use this guide on the day of to do a walk through when you arrive. As with every step and stage of the pre-investigation process make sure that you are only gathering information and not offering any type of conclusions for the client. While you may have a hunch of what may be happening it is easy for the client to misinterpret your communications or even for the case to switch directions when new information comes to light. During the walk through make sure you present yourself and your team in a professional manner, the client is looking to you for help and I am sure the
