Ghost Adventures Crew Ignore Fans

By Chris Baricko

Most of us have watched Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. I did  as well till their egos and bad acting got in the way. Let's start with a few things. When they wanted  to reach 1 million likes on Facebook they were everyone's friend. Then again when they wanted to reach 2 million Likes. Now they do not feel the need to answer nor reply. We served our purpose. They are not very truthful. It starts right with the opening. They clearly state "The three of us travel." Um, wrong there are five including Billy and the video guy. So right from the start there are misleading the viewers. But now let's look at them one by one.

Nick Groff, in my opinion, is the worst. He used to reply and answer fans' questions, but now, forget it.  And some might say well he can't reply to everyone. Sorry, I don't buy snake oil. If that was the case then how come when you go on his page he has time to promote his CD? His book? His clothing line? His gym? Or his "Drinks on Me" Tour? So let's look at this. He wants your money but don't want to give you any of his time? Hmmm, now why would you want to support a person who ignores you? Sorry no excuse the fans got him to were he is and the fans can also take it away.

Then he states that Boston is his home Town. Unless Pelham, New Hampshire moved South East 34 miles and 48 minutes away, it's not his hometown. See the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Groff#Nick_Groff

Pretty crappy things he did and to define what hometown means according to Merriam Webster Dictionary.
Hometown is defined as the city or town were one was born or grew up also principal residence.

Shame on him trying to play the Boston card for ratings and support.

Then we have Zak Bagans--his ego is unreal. He just doesn't reply at all. But made sure he was out there when he wanted you to buy his book.

Then we have Aaron Goodwin he is not as bad. He has his Big Steppin line and he donates proceeds to charity.

They all think they are all that. The funny part is I myself was investigating the paranormal before they were old enough to drive, as many others were. They need to remember that being on TV doesn't make them investigators--it makes them actors. Their EVP's are crap, they all sound just like static and they throw words under it hoping we will say OH YEA I hear it.

So, in closing, I will say it is pretty clear they all went to college for film, saw the paranormal was the in thing and cashed in on it. Too bad they do not take as much time to respond to the fans as they do pushing their products.

Bad Bad Thing Award Goes to the Constantinos / Satanic Monument in Oklahoma

By Kirby Robinson

Mark & Debby Constantino
Satanic Statue in Oklahoma

On this bad bad thing Saturday, an idiot pays triple digits to fake para-celebs and the devil wants his due in Oklahoma.

The Constantinos must be hard up for cash and day labor seems to be out of the question. What do they do to earn some money? Post a listing on eBay for some quick cash and advertise this "deal":

1 Hour Live Skype Chat with EVP Specialists Mark & Debby Constantino As Seen On Ghost Adventures!!

See the listing here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281237222848?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

The first issue is that EVP's have never been proven to be real. There are no credible EVP people to train you, because anyone can call themselves an EVP expert. Secondly, the Constantinos have appeared on such fake reality shows as Paranormal State and Ghost Adventures.

The "winner" of this bid proves the old saying about a fool and his/her money are parted is true. In this case, some "winner" paid $305.00 to experience an hour's worth of fakery. Should we expect many of the other fake EVP "experts" along with the fake demon chasers to fleece people on eBay?

The Devil Goes to Oklahoma

Don't teach values or have prayers in our public schools…but the devil can take his place right night next to the Ten Commandments.

http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/01/07/react-satanic-group-plans-build-demonic-statue-near-10-commandments-monument

Guess this is zero commandments versus a Ten Commandments thing…and yet another sign that there is a war going on against our Christian values.   

Do you know of a para-celeb, psychic, ghost hunter, demon chaser, or false teacher who’s eligible for the award? You can take part by sending us a name and why you think they should receive the BAD BAD THING award. Contact freeallspirits@live.comfor more information.

Issue 138 – Snake Salvation & Preachers of L.A.

By Kirby Robinson

The world is running out of ideas for reality shows we’ve seen every version of real housewives short of Real Housewives of Skid Row. A production company kicked around the idea of one set in the paranormal field but got no takers from the network. Just about every combination of reality show has aired short of people killing each other. Lately, the Christian faith has become a fertile field for shows of this type.

In the case of the two newest offerings, we end up with show that exposes us to a world most of us have only read about or seen on TV and film. And the other just confirms what many suspect -- fakes and frauds have taken over the church.

Snake Salvation from the National Geographic Channel focuses on two churches, one in Tennessee, and the other in Kentucky, that practice snake handling.

Snake handling has been around for years mostly in the Appalachian area. It’s a very small fringe movement in what is often referred to as the Holiness Movement, a sub group of the Pentecostal church. They draw their spiritual authority from the book of Mark chapter 16 v18.

“They will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” NIV

The services that feature handling venomous snakes will also feature poison drinking [lye or strychnine] and fire handling.

They claim that their faith must be tested and as they pass each test, their faith grows stronger, even if they are bitten, burned, or become sick from the consumption of poison. They reject the medicine of man and depend solely on faith healing.

You’ll never find such churches on your Main Street, nor will they advertise, but they are out there.

Is Snake Salvationstaged and fake like your common paranormal reality show such as Ghost Adventures or Ghost Hunters. Well, in one episode a cottonmouth snake bites a preacher while he is out snake hunting.

They are on solid spiritual ground for thinking the way they do. No one holds a gun to anyone’s head to attend their church or think the way they think. It’s their spiritual path and the world, and the law, should allow them the freedom to practice their faith. As to anything being faked, the scenes featuring snakebites are real. Yes, we took very close look at those scenes and could find nothing fake.

We recommend that you watch this show as it’s worth your time.

Preachers of LA -- what’s bad about the church.

Almost everything is bad about this show brought to you by the Oxygen Network. The sole purpose behind it is build up the egos of the pastors featured while bringing down the church.

http://preachers-of-la.oxygen.com/pla_blogs/tag/cast#fbid=3RZ81LE-NK7

The cast is either part of the TBN or affiliated with it as they preach the name it claim it lifestyle, which is demonic thinking from the new age. The preachers aren’t focused on God but on money and fame. Cash has replaced Jesus and they care very little about suffering.

The types of pastors shown are the mega-church type. Rarely are they seen feeding the hungry or reaching the needy. It’s about flashing the cash, fast cars and big houses.

Featured on the show:

- All seven pastors featured here are the stars of their own personality cult

- One pastor says shacking up is cool as the term “shacking up” isn’t mentioned in the Bible

- Drinking alcohol is allowed by God

- Sex outside of marriage is now okay

- Pushes the myth that Christ turned water into wine. Newsflash--it was grape juice

- The first ladies’ myth. It’s just an ego title. Actually, there is no reference in the Bible that says a pastor should be married.

To me the show is just another nail in the coffin lid of the church today. The viewers may soak it in and find it funny, but I doubt God will.

A $200 Fake Reading

Some unlucky person got taken by a fake psychic as they paid $200. Here’s what they got:

O.K I am sensing a sadness within you , an unhappiness... There are answers you need to find peace within yourself and to help you be happy and move on.... O.K. a older female has stepped forward a motherly figure....she is showing concern for you as you have many thoughts and are in an unhappy state....o.k. I see a male with her a fatherly figure... both are telling me they are happy and at peace and watching over you..proud of you and all is forgiven..you are loved .but are concerned about you.... I am getting a name that starts with J... is there a J in your family...... I am getting he will be o.k.... o.k. I am sensing health issues with you...you have pain...and you are worried about younger loved ones children or grandchildren..a younger male just stepped up who was taken to soon by illness or an act done by himself..he was not in the right state of mind at the time of his death .he is sorry and has regret in the pain he has caused.. you will have a few tough months ahead but in a year you will see improvement in your life ..

This is the reason I have this blog – to show you what is out there and hope it helps people avoid being scammed.

Ghost Hunting Certification & Paranormal Ethics – Wednesday, July 17, 2013

It’s 3 AM, you’re awakened by the noise of doors slamming, the sound of tapping on the walls, and you see hallway lights flicker off and on.  You get out of bed and find you’re the only one in the house. You try to reason what just took place and all you can come up with that is that it’s a ghost. A bit frightened, you decided that maybe it’s time to call your local ghost hunting group to come over and investigate.

Who are you letting into your home? Are they trained? Do they really know what a ghost is? Or a demon? Do they think that demons and ghosts are interchangeable? Are these ghost hunters convicted felons or child abusers? Maybe you’ve asked for the ghost hunters’ credentials and are told you have nothing to worry about. But do you?

They find something and things calm down and everything goes back to normal — for now — until one day when you’re surfing the internet and you notice photos of your home on that paranormal group’s website. You also find those photos on other related sites. Those local ghost hunters have published the findings of your case on the web! Did you give permission for them to do so? You also might discover that they’ve made money off your case, using it in a book and/or video was used to pitch a show idea. They’ve also done lectures at paranormal conferences, where the team leader was paid to give a presentation of your case, but you never gave permission for any of this. Not only were you unknowingly exploited, you weren’t compensated.

On the other side of the spectrum, maybe you want to be a ghost hunter, a paranormal investigator, or a demon chaser. You watch Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, My Ghost Story and other paranormal shows. You listen to paranormal radio, and read everything on the subject. You have a Facebook page, a Twitter page, and a YouTube account. You’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on a variety of gadgets — but does that really make you a ghost hunter?

You decide to take a class that will lead you to being a certified ghost hunter. It’s an online class and it’s the equivalent of about 10 hours of field study. To get your certification, all you need to do is read a book, take a test, and get a photo ID. After accomplishing these things, you receive a fancy looking certificate that says you’re a certified ghost hunter. Who certified the people who certify you? Can you cover the topics about the paranormal in a few hours?

We'll also talk about my forthcoming book on Theresa Caputo Is the Long Island Medium the Real Deal?

As a weekly feature, Kirby will also share some book reviews and recommendations, as well as his infamous incredible "BAD BAD Thing Awards."

Showtime begins at 7 PM or 10 PM EST. Here's the link to the show:

The Moment of Truth is Back & We're Asking Para-Celebs to Take the Test

Back in 2008 when we started to expose the fraudulent activity in the paranormal field, we issued the Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge. It was an invitation to all para-celebrities to appear on a Fox network show called The Moment of Truth. Guests on the show were hooked up to a lie detector and asked 21 questions. Those who lied didn't win the money, and those whose answers the lie detector agreed with could earn up to $1,000,000.

This fall a new show called The Test makes its debut. It allows people to settle conflicts so if you've been labeled as a fake you can appear on national TV and settle that issue for good.

We ask anyone connected to the following shows as on-air talent to take the lie detector test:

Paranormal State

Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal

Ghost Hunters

Haunted Collector

Ghost Adventures

Ghost Lab

If you can prove that nothing was staged, nothing was faked, that every bit of evidence you collected was real, and nothing was reshot, then contact us. If you can pass The Test, we'll issue an apology.

New Book on the Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo & Her Claims

The Long Island Housewife who changed the psychic reality TV show has been on our radar for quite some time. We've been working in the shadows, and soon will release the shocking story of what's been uncovered. The cover and title will be released next week.

The Truths about Christians and Ghost Hunting

By Stephen Piersall, 
God's Preservation Ministry, http://sfprs.org/ 

I am submitting this blog I found in my archives and wanted to share it with you. I know you hear a few of us talking bad about ghost (demon) hunting all the time and many do not agree with us, even though we have Biblical proof of being correct. This is another person's point of few and I hope it at least plants a seed of hope that if you do not have Jesus as your LORD and Savior or are a Christian but have backslidden and adapted to the worldly views that it will open your minds and make you rethink your views.

By Shane Raynor

If you aren't familiar with the phenomenon of ghost hunting, you haven't surfed through your basic cable channel lineup in a few years. Yes, the medium that brought you Jersey Shore and Honey Boo Boo also promotes the paranormal each week with shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and The Haunted. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I generally take reality shows with a grain of salt, but ghost hunters, also known as paranormal investigators, aren't limited to television. Groups and societies that specialize in investigating paranormal claims are popping up all over the world. There’s probably at least one of them in your city. Some even claim to be Christian-based.

Ghost hunters use technology and fringe science as they attempt to prove or disprove alleged hauntings of houses and other locations. Some also use occult methods and they bring in psychics, mediums, and channelers to assist with their investigations. I’m guessing that real-life ghost hunting is nowhere near as fast-paced and exciting as the reality shows depict it to be. That's because in the real world, there’s no one to edit out all the boring stuff. And some ghost hunters get more than they signed up for. I've heard accounts of people experiencing demonic oppression and/or possession after taking part in paranormal investigations. Stirring up trouble in the spiritual realm is never something that should be taken lightly.

That brings us to the question of whether Christians should even be involved in paranormal research and investigations. Before I attempt to answer that, I’ll go out on a limb and say that some of what we see on paranormal reality shows is probably hokum. A portion of the “evidence” they uncover is likely exaggerated, and some of it could even be manufactured. Some shows are probably more trustworthy than others, but none of them can survive without ratings, and it’s hard to get ratings if something exciting isn't happening on screen.

But assuming that some paranormal events and phenomena are real (and I do), how should Christians respond to it? It depends. I don't think it’s a good idea to go ghost hunting in places like cemeteries or abandoned buildings for the adventure of it. But a Christian’s purpose is connected to the purpose of Jesus Christ: to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). So when there's a situation where someone is being tormented or harassed by a evil entity , I believe Christians have the authority to step in and confront it. For example, if a family is dealing with paranormal activity in their house, and they need help getting rid of it, then that’s fair game. But there’s always some degree of risk when you confront evil, especially if you don't know exactly what you're doing. If you do get involved in any kind of ministry that deals directly with evil, be prepared to pray and learn as much as you can about spiritual warfare.

Some of the methods paranormal investigators use are dangerous. Christians should not be collaborating with psychics or other occult practitioners. And attempting to communicate with the dead in any way, especially to get information or satisfy curiosity should be avoided. Leviticus 19:31 is fairly plain: "Do not resort to dead spirits or inquire of spirits of divination—you will be made unclean by them; I am the Lord your God" (CEB). Deuteronomy 18:10-12 puts it this way:

There must not be anyone among you who passes his son or daughter through fire; who practices divination, is a sign reader, fortune-teller, sorcerer, or spell caster; who converses with ghosts or spirits or communicates with the dead. All who do these things are detestable to the Lord! (Deuteronomy 18:10-12 CEB) There are good reasons for these warnings, one being that attempts to consult the dead could open the door to powerful demonic activity.

Ghost hunters often use technological tools to help them with their investigations, but some of these methods seem to me to be little more than high tech séances and Ouija boards. EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recorders, ghost/spirit boxes (modified radios that allegedly can be manipulated by spirits), and electronic speech synthesis devices like the Ovilus should be avoided by Christians. EMF (electromagnetic field) meters probably aren't an issue, provided they aren't used to gain information from spirits.

There may be a place for Christians in the world of paranormal investigation, but no one should get involved just for the thrill of it. Many of us will likely encounter the supernatural, both good and evil, at various points in our lives, but our fascination with it should be grounded in who we are in Christ. In Luke 10, Jesus had this to say to the 72 followers he’d sent out who came back with their minds blown because demons had actually submitted to them:

I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Look, I have given you authority to crush snakes and scorpions underfoot. I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, don't rejoice because the spirits submit to you. Rejoice instead that your names are written in heaven (Luke 10:18-20 CEB).

The spiritual war between good and evil is real, but getting actively involved with it just for the thrill factor or the entertainment value is never a good idea.

Culture Watch: Television & Demonaphobia

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

The deception began with a bang. The DT crew (Destination Truth) went to the Mayan ruins, which was the site of untold number of human sacrifices to idols—which as the bible tells us is participating in demons. In light of this, one would have thought they would have put demons at least on their possible suspect list for the accelerated paranormal activity there; they didn’t. Instead, team DT posited, before even went there, that the recent accelerated activity was either due to the sacrificial victims or the Mayan warriors. Even though scared to death at points, demons were not even an option.

I try to stay in touch with popular culture, so I watch as many of the haunted TV shows as I can. What I am sharing is based on what I witnessed over the last month of watching the following shows: Destination Truth, Ghost Adventures, Haunted Collector, A Haunting, The Dead Files, Paranormal Witness, Haunted Highway, and one more about hauntings at colleges but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.  Sheesh. That is eight shows on three nights of the week (Tues., Wed., Friday). People’s beliefs and worldviews are unconsciously shaped by exposure to this much haunted TV, but this is but a tip of the paranormal iceberg on TV. One list had about fifty shows, which in some form or fashion, focus on the assumed reality of ghosts. FIFTY!  Of course they are not all on the same season schedule, and a few on the list are now cancelled—but as with The Ghost Whisperer or Charmed, re-runs are current with a number of these. That is an incredible number of shows, which reveals how we are witnessing a paradigm shift in our understanding of spirituality (topic for another day). This phenomenon is both a shaper of culture as well as a reflection of it.

My purpose in watching all these shows was in part to answer this question: is TV phobic regarding demons? The undeniable answer is “yes”; the vast majority of these shows avoid fingering demons as the cause of supernatural activity in homes or businesses. Whether it is the individuals or the networks (or both) that are demonaphobic, the reality is that the phobia is ubiquitous. As with the opening scene with DT, it is astounding how hesitant folks are on these shows to assign the blame on demons for even the most despicable activity. For varying reasons, the almost monolithic consensus of investigators is that demonic encounters are rare. So, in that regard the TV shows are mirroring current beliefs in this field. One quick example. The much respected John Zaffis is called in to assuage the fears of a young mom. There has been verbal threats and physical violence, to the point she is terrified. During an EVP session (red flag!) John asks the spirit if it is angry with the family, and child’s voice answered, "no". Based almost entirely on this captured EVP, John interprets all of this scratching, pushing, and threats as an expression of trust that this child ghost feels with the young mom. A touching scene follows, and I am feeling nauseous. That is baloney sir. Do you always trust children’s voices? What would you think of a living child who scratched and pushed people and threatened them? I would have had my rear-end whipped good as a child if I did half of what that demon did to those people. That is calling wrong…. right-something the bible condemns. On another episode his tech, Brian, got a long triple scratch down his back, and demons were not mentioned at all—not amongst themselves (that we know of) or with the client. Does anybody else find that problematic? Two per show… that makes eight hair raising episodes in a month, in which a world famous, professing Christian demonologist does not even mention demons.

While watching Paranormal Witness tonight I thought that, finally, they will call a spade a spade. Two or three deputies are witness to some hair raising activity in an old theatre. After what he called demon like activity, one of them quit. It seemed that, given all the focus on the sheer evil of this entity, that a demon was going to be the culprit. Wrong. By the end, it was reported that a young man had died in a fire there and all the activity was then viewed through that prism. So, in all those shows I watched, I do not recall a demon being seen as the cause of the supernatural activity. Moreover, most of the time, demons were not even mentioned. We are talking several dozen episodes. THAT frequency and repetition is clearly influencing people’s views regarding both ghosts and the demonic.  It makes me weep.

I find this very troubling because it is only reinforcing in the audience’s minds that ghosts are the only plausible explanation for supernatural activity. It is shaping their view of supernatural reality…millions of people. “Yes demons are real, but rare”. Sound familiar?  It should, because demonic rarity is the majority view of investigators. Sure it happens but even the most “negative” (grown to really dislike that word) entities are almost always viewed as irregular humans or possibly some whacked out dimensional being (eg energy vampires—demons can mimic that). If it smells like sulfur, levitation is occurring, tables are flying across the room, apportation, extreme aversion to blessed objects, client speaking backwards in Latin, and people are being hurt, THEN folks will discuss the possibility of demonic presence. Sheeesh….(ok, a bit exaggerated) Once you introduce the concept of ghosts (including poltergeist and residual), then identifying demons is hopelessly subjective.

Stop! Everyone believes that demons are deceptive, so why the almost fervent hesitancy to label something demonic unless all the aforementioned is present? Even veteran, biblical demonologists fall prey to this faulty logic when they assume they will always feel heaviness in the air if there is a demonic infestation. If you have a strong gift of discernment (there are gradations of sensitivity), then that is a horse of a different color. But generally, demons can leave a palpable sense of peace and love. That is certainly an implicate of the angel of light principle, and there is a plethora of anecdotal evidence to support this. They can control the vibe of a house. How convincing is an angel-cloaked demon going to be if everyone has the heeby-jeebies around them or feel nauseous and so on? Back to the fervent hesitancy.

Satan is not omnipotent, but he is showing considerable power in how he has promoted this demonaphobia. The issue is not what you personally believe—the issue is, what is the message coming across the TV? This was an experiment to observe. The bottom line is that if the angel of light principle is real—and it is—then there is no way to make a list of criteria for demonic presence; they can and do break all the rules and all the stereotypes. And to rule out from the get-go the possibility of demonic activity is not science, it is ideological assumptions. (REPEAT) It is the opposite of true science…destination untruth. 

Demonaphobia….that is what is plastered all over TV these days. This is a call to all bible believing Christians to be salt and light for the glory of God.

Issue 87 Why Ask Questions If You Don’t Want Answers?

By Kirby Robinson

Have you ever noticed that when someone wants to set you up they'll ask you a question that would take 20 minutes to answer---but they give you 45 seconds to respond? Then they turn around and say you don't know what you're talking about. Also, I still had 18 minutes and 15 seconds worth of information to give. This is a false type of debate, a common practice of those within the new age and shadow Christian haters to use. I've been a victim of it, along with anyone who stands up for GOD'S Word. We are living in the last pages of the New Testament -- take a look at the Book of Jude to finish the ground work for the End Times. Man will claim any religion as from GOD. They'll claim to know him when they don't. They'll say any sin is okay. And what was once GOD'S Word will be turned on its head. Dr. Gene Scott once told me back in the 80's that the church in America had to be destroyed prior to the start of the End Times. Additionally, so did the Bill of Rights -- but that's for a different blog.

IF GOD IS ALL POWERFUL WHY IS THERE EVIL?

People think that’s a stunner. Ask a Christian that and you have them on the ropes. What we were told at new age meetings back in the 80s, it has been far longer than that but it was a popular one in the meetings back then. Now in the age of both pat answers and pat teachings everyone expects a response and a teaching in less the 45 seconds. Unfortunately that isn't always possible.

God created the earth in perfect balance. There was to be no evil, no suffering and no sin. There was to be no:

Birth

Aging

Illness

Death

As GOD had it set up there was to be only Adam and Eve keeping company with GOD and worshiping Him. With Him they never had to suffer. Life was a perfect balance. There was never going to be an afterlife as you have to die to have an afterlife.

Due to the fact of Free Will for all his creations, Lucifer rebelled and was cast out of the heavens and fell to earth. Lucifer hated man and sought to make him suffer as he and his fallen had suffered. He tempted Eve, who in turn tempted Adam, who then suffered the wrath of GOD. This was for the betrayal and for what was unleashed on the earth: the suffering of birth, aging, illness and death as well as condemning His Son [Jesus] to a death sentence. Evil doesn't come from GOD. God doesn't like to see people suffering. Evil is due to the rejection of GOD'S greatness. While this isn't a complete response, it's far more than the new age ambusher wanted to hear.

Let's take a look at some of the questions and comments that took place in the Paranormal Journal chat room:

A person by the name of Spirit Realm IP. I always love it when people hide behind a fake ID when they speak -- it lends so much for the public to find their words to hold seeds the truth.

Spirit claims I'm a liar. Show me and the public what I have lied about. "Spirit Realm" claims to know who is on our staff [interesting how do they think everyone is in this for the money]? Sorry S.R., we do have a full staff of experts who lend a hand when their needs to be one. Why do we not advertise who they are? So their life doesn't get filled with threats, stalkers, haters, and idiots. Because that seems to be what the paranormal entertainment industry attracts. Genuine light workers do it in the shadows. Glory isn't the prize but helping to end suffering is.

S.R. gets their facts wrong as they claim that they spoke to Gary and I was the fool that was going to have my blog removed.

The reality is that this was the blog that was moved:

http://katfemme.blogspot.com/2012/08/retractment-of-statements-about-melissa.html

I removed mine due to a change in heart concerning the case.

Nel Crawford wanted to know how we make money to pay people. Wonder why this was not asked on the air? Mr. or Ms. Crawford must do volunteer work. I never charge for my help. If the client can help with expenses, that's cool. We do have some benefactors that realize the importance of the EYE ON THE PARANORMAL. If I can keep a roof over my head and food in my belly, that's all I need.

Shannon Swift felt that I was jealous of the others. I've heard this more than once! She implies  that I want what fake para-celebs have, and wish to be in their place, do as they do, be rewarded here on earth for their actions and suffer the same fates they face after they cross over and face the final judgment. I value my relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. To enjoy temporary happiness here and now usually means facing lifetimes of suffering in the afterlife. That's not the path I choose at all.

Connie Dyment apparently has ties to a show called Zero Gravity Paranormal which appears to have drinking the psychic/paranormal investigator Kool-Aid. Ms. Dyment added a great insight by calling me an asshat, and that they were making me stumble. Clearly, I'm still standing ever stronger in my faith and the determination of my convictions. I invite Ms. Dyment to a public debate on the issues on a neutral show if she so desires. The first question should be just what the heck is an asshat?

Mary Magdalene claims she didn't get a response from me which is not true. She got a response; it just wasn't the one she wanted. She also feels that by placing my name on SHADES OF LIGHT, SHADES OF DARKNESS and donating profits to charity isn't being charitable enough.

So to use her logic all the celebrities [which I'm not] who donate their time and money should do it and not mention their names on books they write and give the funds away.

I wonder [I asked this last week] did the producers of Ghost Adventures, the team and the production staff donate all their profits from the show? Should Ghost Adventures not run any opening/closing credits? I think the only people that didn't make money off the episode was Gary Galka as he refused to take a dime for the episode.

This week we'll close with the story from Matthew concerning the night Christ walked on water [a feeble attempt to prove ghosts are real].

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+14%3A22-33&version=NIV

Now let's tell a modern story!

Two boys in a dark room hear bumps in the night

One boy asks what is it?

2nd boy says It's a 3-headed boogieman.

Just because someone says it might be a ghost or think it is doesn't make it so.

Nice try but no points …

Next week--We deal with para-celebs behaving badly and produce more responses to the questions from the Paranormal Journal chat room.

Culture Watch: Television & Demonaphobia

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

The deception began with a bang. The DT crew (Destination Truth) went to the Mayan ruins, which was the site of untold number of human sacrifices to idols—which as the bible tells us is participating in demons. In light of this, one would have thought they would have put demons at least on their possible suspect list for the accelerated paranormal activity there; they didn’t. Instead, team DT posited, before even went there, that the recent accelerated activity was either due to the sacrificial victims or the Mayan warriors. Even though scared to death at points, demons were not even an option.

I try to stay in touch with popular culture, so I watch as many of the haunted TV shows as I can. What I am sharing is based on what I witnessed over the last month of watching the following shows: Destination Truth, Ghost Adventures, Haunted Collector, A Haunting, The Dead Files, Paranormal Witness, Haunted Highway, and one more about hauntings at colleges but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.  Sheesh. That is eight shows on three nights of the week (Tues., Wed., Friday). People’s beliefs and worldviews are unconsciously shaped by exposure to this much haunted TV, but this is but a tip of the paranormal iceberg on TV. One list had about fifty shows, which in some form or fashion, focus on the assumed reality of ghosts. FIFTY!  Of course they are not all on the same season schedule, and a few on the list are now cancelled—but as with The Ghost Whisperer or Charmed, re-runs are current with a number of these. That is an incredible number of shows, which reveals how we are witnessing a paradigm shift in our understanding of spirituality (topic for another day). This phenomenon is both a shaper of culture as well as a reflection of it.

My purpose in watching all these shows was in part to answer this question: is TV phobic regarding demons? The undeniable answer is “yes”; the vast majority of these shows avoid fingering demons as the cause of supernatural activity in homes or businesses. Whether it is the individuals or the networks (or both) that are demonaphobic, the reality is that the phobia is ubiquitous. As with the opening scene with DT, it is astounding how hesitant folks are on these shows to assign the blame on demons for even the most despicable activity. For varying reasons, the almost monolithic consensus of investigators is that demonic encounters are rare. So, in that regard the TV shows are mirroring current beliefs in this field. One quick example. The much respected John Zaffis is called in to assuage the fears of a young mom. There has been verbal threats and physical violence, to the point she is terrified. During an EVP session (red flag!) John asks the spirit if it is angry with the family, and child’s voice answered, "no". Based almost entirely on this captured EVP, John interprets all of this scratching, pushing, and threats as an expression of trust that this child ghost feels with the young mom. A touching scene follows, and I am feeling nauseous. That is baloney sir. Do you always trust children’s voices? What would you think of a living child who scratched and pushed people and threatened them? I would have had my rear-end whipped good as a child if I did half of what that demon did to those people. That is calling wrong…. right-something the bible condemns. On another episode his tech, Brian, got a long triple scratch down his back, and demons were not mentioned at all—not amongst themselves (that we know of) or with the client. Does anybody else find that problematic? Two per show… that makes eight hair raising episodes in a month, in which a world famous, professing Christian demonologist does not even mention demons.

While watching Paranormal Witness tonight I thought that, finally, they will call a spade a spade. Two or three deputies are witness to some hair raising activity in an old theatre. After what he called demon like activity, one of them quit. It seemed that, given all the focus on the sheer evil of this entity, that a demon was going to be the culprit. Wrong. By the end, it was reported that a young man had died in a fire there and all the activity was then viewed through that prism. So, in all those shows I watched, I do not recall a demon being seen as the cause of the supernatural activity. Moreover, most of the time, demons were not even mentioned. We are talking several dozen episodes. THAT frequency and repetition is clearly influencing people’s views regarding both ghosts and the demonic.  It makes me weep.

I find this very troubling because it is only reinforcing in the audience’s minds that ghosts are the only plausible explanation for supernatural activity. It is shaping their view of supernatural reality…millions of people. “Yes demons are real, but rare”. Sound familiar?  It should, because demonic rarity is the majority view of investigators. Sure it happens but even the most “negative” (grown to really dislike that word) entities are almost always viewed as irregular humans or possibly some whacked out dimensional being (eg energy vampires—demons can mimic that). If it smells like sulfur, levitation is occurring, tables are flying across the room, apportation, extreme aversion to blessed objects, client speaking backwards in Latin, and people are being hurt, THEN folks will discuss the possibility of demonic presence. Sheeesh….(ok, a bit exaggerated) Once you introduce the concept of ghosts (including poltergeist and residual), then identifying demons is hopelessly subjective.

Stop! Everyone believes that demons are deceptive, so why the almost fervent hesitancy to label something demonic unless all the aforementioned is present? Even veteran, biblical demonologists fall prey to this faulty logic when they assume they will always feel heaviness in the air if there is a demonic infestation. If you have a strong gift of discernment (there are gradations of sensitivity), then that is a horse of a different color. But generally, demons can leave a palpable sense of peace and love. That is certainly an implicate of the angel of light principle, and there is a plethora of anecdotal evidence to support this. They can control the vibe of a house. How convincing is an angel-cloaked demon going to be if everyone has the heeby-jeebies around them or feel nauseous and so on? Back to the fervent hesitancy.

Satan is not omnipotent, but he is showing considerable power in how he has promoted this demonaphobia. The issue is not what you personally believe—the issue is, what is the message coming across the TV? This was an experiment to observe. The bottom line is that if the angel of light principle is real—and it is—then there is no way to make a list of criteria for demonic presence; they can and do break all the rules and all the stereotypes. And to rule out from the get-go the possibility of demonic activity is not science, it is ideological assumptions. (REPEAT) It is the opposite of true science…destination untruth. 

Demonaphobia….that is what is plastered all over TV these days. This is a call to all bible believing Christians to be salt and light for the glory of God.
