Exorcism Live!

    Well, on Halloween Eve Destination America came up with a live event, featuring TWC, (Tennessee Wraith Chasers), along with a few faces not seen on TV for a while. While the promos made it look as though someone who was possessed was getting a exorcism, that was not the case. It was a good old house cleansing.

    I've written about TWC before, who have the show, "Ghost Asylum," on the same channel. I like these down to earth country boys, and they get evidence. Here's just a few gripes I hope they take to heart. Everyone person should have a digital recorder running, and a hand-held camera/view finder. This way you have everything you need, and you won't be in an attic without the gear you need. The view finder is so you can see...lose the damn penlights. Your eyes will adjust, and when you flash a light, you're gonna miss something. While you do soooo much better than "Ghost Hunters," who from the outside of where they are investigating, it looks like burglars casing a joint. They could give LESSONS to criminals on how to flit a flashlight around. Don't become them! You guys get evidence, and you and Ghost Adventures crew are it.

    OK, now the show. It took place in the famous house in St. Louis that was the catalyst for the movie, The Exorcist. Guess what Travel Channel was showing at the same time this was airing? That's right, the GA (Ghost Adventures) crew investigating the same house in 2012. That's what sets the GA crew apart. They are prepared, and they get good evidence. Plus the use of Kinect technology is fantastic. I found myself switching between shows. TWC went in and did a live hunt. They did a good job for a live show, but like I said, they were at times unprepared. I also liked the access to the live feeds from the X-Cameras they had set up. A few viewers saw orbs and other anomalies. Way to go! The tweeting idea was good to, but some claimed to be frightened...maybe they were, but I wasn't.

    Then psychic Chip Coffey did a seance with his 3 person crew. I first saw Chip on "Paranormal State," one of the first ghost hunting shows that used to air on A & E. Penn State students. Google them. Plus, Chip had a show on the same network where he nurtured young people with psychic abilities. Cannot remember the name. The seance went along, but when an evil spirit came through, Chip shut it down. Sad. Things could have been so much more interesting. I understand the fear of possession, but come on. Should have had volunteers standing by to take the place of those in fear. This was a big moment missed. Fear is what those demons feed on. Live TV, what a moment it could and should have been. If you need a volunteer Chip, I'd be happy to donate my time. How can we learn more when fear over-rides fact finding?  Big Miss!

    It ended with Chip and a priest cleansing the house. I was let down. I guess they were performing an exorcism on the house, but I thought that was called a "cleansing." Not an exorcism. Come on now. Did it work? Who knows? Who can say? Who can prove it? Exorcisms are done on people!

    Don't let me forget the appearance of Nick Groff, former Ghost Adventures alum. Nice beard Nick! He talked of his experience when they investigated the famed house. Nick is a sensitive. I believe him. Ghost hunting cost him a lot, and I'm glad to see he's out of the actual business of hunting. Hope you are well!

    In closing, TWC did a fine job. I'd lose the host...they should have hosted. The seance stopped when it was just getting interesting. The cleansing...a big let-down. I'm sure if you  missed it, there will be reruns of it into perpetuity. I looked and it's not on tonight. I'd definitely show it on Halloween. Guess that's why I write a blog and don't run a network. I give it 3 out of 5 ghosts.

Ghost Asylum New Season/Complaints

    Ok. I like TWC, (Tennessee Wraith Chasers). The are one of the few groups on TV that get actual evidence. The show, (Ghost Asylum, Destination America 9pm Eastern) features some Good Ol' Boys from Tennessee. They have been given permission to hunt in some of the most haunted places in America. They take it seriously. But give me a break.
    They claim they are helping spirits. They build "traps" to catch them, but always fail. Here's my beef...
    Last night on the season premiere, they came across as if they are doing a public service or helping these spirits. BS. I have yet to see ANY hunters bring in a priest or medium or anyone to move these spirits along. The Ghost Adventures crew has brought in a priest, but it was because an owner was changing in front of their eyes. It should be common practice before they leave. I don't know if religion even has an affect, but it does seem that if the spirits were God fearing here on Earth, they are God fearing after death. I'll bet my last dollar they cause more harm than any good they do after they're gone. Ask the owners after a group of hunters come through. After they leave, things are usually more active.
    Look, how would you like it if someone came into your home with cameras, lights, and instruments that beep? All these groups forget these where human beings. People died in these places. How about before you leave to tell these spirits you are sorry for barging in and asking stupid questions? How about saying, "You have died. If you see a light, go into it." Bring in a priest. Something! As for trapping, even if they DID manage to capture one, they take it back to Tennessee and set it free? Huh? I really doubt things work that way. I do not believe anything earthly thing can hold spirits. They walk through walls. Through concrete. I don't know if spirits use portals, but with my problems I do believe there are doors that can be opened. I'm trying to close a door I've opened.
    I also believe there are bad spirits. I don't know if some ever physically walked the Earth. I do know that without evil, how would we know what good is? I played with fire and am still scorched. I am not the same person. It takes all my will to write this blog because something does not want me to. I'm crying out for help. I have gone over my pay grade. I have messed with something, and I feel one day it will kill me. At my own hand. That's how dark my home has become. I apologize every day. What is haunting me is bad, bad, bad.

    All I ask is you hunters treat these spirits like YOU would like to be treated. Ask if you can come in. Apologize when you leave. Tell them that you are sad they are stuck, and ask them to look for the warm light. Most spirits are good, but there are a few bad apples. Just like in real life. Maybe some can never go into the light. But at least try to move them on. I can't say if the TWC squad does this, because it's never shown. I may be missing something. You guys are good people. Treat these spirits the same. Be polite. Ask for permission.
    Ever notice how these orbs they capture have movements that resemble UFO sightings? Gravity does not affect them. Electromagnetic energy I believe is what powers UFO's. And that's what these orbs are. Call me crazy. I don't care. I've been shown some insights, or I have been shown lies. I have gone into trances and I see things. Yep, I'm crazy. I get this monkey off my back, and I'm going to hopefully use my experience to help others who are tormented. Because I AM tormented. I am confused, yet clear. I am sad, yet strangely happy. I feel hate, yet feel love for those I hate. I do hope to get my life back. It just hasn't happened yet. Maybe I never will.

    I really like you guys in TWC. You are good folks. But after you leave, I could probably go into those places and have an even more extreme experience. Don't come across that you are helping, because we all know that is no way to tell. Think about it. You sweep in like a hurricane with all these instruments and blinking lights. All I ask is when you leave, remind the spirits about the light and apologize for invading their homes. Hell, I don't know if there is a light. But in my dreams I see them. Only then you can say you MAY have done some good. Otherwise, you are just home invaders. Just my humble opinion.
