New Movie - "Paranormal Activity" opening to very small audiences. WOW!

Well, another independent film (ala Blair Witch) is opening to VERY limited release. You can only catch it in about a dozen theaters about the country. They will be listed at the end of this clip.

The movie, Paranormal Activity, looks very interesting and I'm excited to see it. Take a look at this and see what you think. All comments welcome. Tell your friends about it. If more people request it in their own hometowns and it gets more of a backing, we may see it showing in more places.

Cold Spots, an indicator of paranormal activity?

Pretty much everyone would accept the fact that energy requires heat, and that one could be synonymous with the other. To offer a quick and easy explanation for cold spots, one could presume that in order for an entity of any sort to manifest itself quite a bit of energy would be required. This would in fact pull a tremendous amount of energy from that area, sucking out all the heat and leaving it cold.

Some people who have had paranormal experiences have reported running into definite areas of startling cold, or cold spots. The difference in temperature is so extreme it could be explained similarly to jumping into an icy cold river on a hot summer's day

Another school of thought says that cold spots can be warnings of malevolent spirits "up ahead". Others say they are the residual trails left by moving entities. I have experienced the feeling of cold spots and have been with people in the very same room who have not so I think a person needs a certain sensitivity in order to be able to detect them.

My personal experience with cold spots occurred in an old jail cell during an investigation. I was able to put my hand completely through one, being able to feel normal heat on the other side. There was no other supernatural occurrences that evening. No odors, nothing moved and no sound. As far as evidence, we had no EVP recordings, but we did catch some orbs on photos taken that night.

Anyone else who might have any thoughts or ideas on cold spots, please feel free to add them. Your contributions are welcome.

Ghosts, which type could be haunting you?

Whether you feel you are being haunted yourself or you are doing an investigation for someone else, it's important to know what type of spirit you are dealing with. Preparedness is paramount for any serious (or seriously good)hunter.
Although there may be more undiscovered and/or unstudied types of ghosts, for our purposes we'll look at five different types of spirits that we know about to date.
The first, and simplest is the Anniversary or annual haunting. This type of spirit is seen only one time per year, to commemorate some type of event or milestone such as a great battle, the anniversary of a birth, a death or the like. Actually, the annual haunting is in fact a residual spirit because they "reenact" the same scene or event over and over again year after year like an old movie projector that gets stuck on the same piece of film.

A residual haunting is similar to a spirit's energy is "trapped" in time. A large percent of the hauntings that are reported fall into this category. When you get repeated reports of the same occurrence such as "woman in a red dress on the second floor" or "I hear heavy footsteps in the attic" or when there are reports of spirits dressed in old fashioned clothes seated around a table eating a meal and then vanish. These are all residual hauntings. The energy of the spirits remains strong, usually because of some violent event that took the persons life very unexpectedly. This is the type of haunting common to battlefields, old taverns, inns and the like. These hauntings pose no threat to any spectator no to any homeowner you may be investigating for. A residual spirit is much like a radio announcer playing the same song again and again and again. It gets frustrating and tedious after a while. There's not much you can do about it but it's not harmful.

Poltergeists are very similar in nature to an intelligent haunting. In these cases, the spirits do interact with their hosts or homeowners being usually more active at night. They can be quite a nuisance, and very frustrating. Although you can't see them, you can see what they do. These are the spirits that can move things around the room, flip light switches and open and close cabinet doors. These spirits are generally too attached to something here to leave. They've made some kind of connection with something physical, or they may be trying to find someone or something. Or, quite simply, they just may not believe they've died. It can be very difficult to get rid of a a poltergeist. Oftentimes, families have to pack up and leave their homes and hope that does the trick.

Then, we have the nice, happy benevolent spirit that haunts simply to protect us. We've all heard the stories of ghost "nannies" who've ushered children out of the house just before the house burned down and so on. These are benevolent spirits.

Unfortunately, on the flip side, we also have the malevolent spirits and that's the one we want to stay away from. These ghosts have nothing else on their minds but harm and will try anything in their arsenal to hurt you. They exist to harm and they are good at it. Star clear of them and anything that has to do with them.

Now that you have that kind of a breakdown, you can start to decide what kind of a haunting you are dealing with so you can best decide how to take care of it. It is easy to mistake one for the other sometimes, so be sure to listen carefully to what someone is telling you before you make a quick judgement. You can't be too careful.
