We have been reviewing the 2011 haunted attraction promo's from all over the nation. Some have been really well done, and believe me when I tell you some of them just plain stink…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
What people in the haunting business (who make a name for themselves and are successful) have realized is that you have to market your product successfully. You may have the very best haunted attraction in the nation, but if you don’t market it well, and you do a poor job presenting yourself to the public, no one will come to see you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
It was a tough decision but we felt this years best Haunted Attraction Promo was The Headless Horseman Hayride and Haunted House in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Ulster Park</city>, <state w:st="on">New York</state></place>..!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Quite easily the most controversial exorcism of all times …. This is the real life story that the movies “Requiem” 2006 and “The Exorcist of Emily Rose” 2005 are loosely based on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Anneliese was born in Bavaria Germany to a strict Catholic family. At age 16 she began having convulsions and was diagnosed with epilepsy. She soon began having hallucinations, and suffered from depression, and also began hearing voices in her head.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
She was admitted to a psychiatric treatment hospital but her depression and overall condition did not improve. She was given various anti psychotic medications (and many specialists believed that this would help her condition). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Anneliese and her family became convinced that she was suffering from demonic possession and during a ten month period from 1975-1976 some 76 exorcism sessions took place. Once the exorcisms began (and at her own request) the doctors and medication were no longer used.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
On July 1<sup>st</sup> 1976 Anneliese died in her sleep. The autopsy report stated cause of death as malnutrition and dehydration….she only weighed 68 lbs. at the time of death.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Two years later the priest and her parents were pronounced guilty in a court of law of manslaughter resulting from negligence.</div>

The word Doppelganger comes from German Folklore (Double Walker) is what the word literally means, and it refers to a paranormal double of a living person.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Here is where it gets a bit muddy….Some sources say it is an evil apparition that takes on your form (and the only entities that can do that are usually demonic in nature). Other sources say it is strictly an omen of death, if you see your Doppelganger it is the ‘grim reaper’ looking back at you, and will die shortly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I have heard of instances however where people see themselves in past form (they see themselves in a residual haunting) meaning something that happens over and over with or without anyone noticing. And that is ALWAYS attached to a horrific event in the past. This however is not a TRUE Doppelganger, because you are not seeing yourself here and now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The only way they have enough energy to move across the room, or turn on the faucet is if the are a very in-tune sprit, or if they are demonic in nature. A really strong ghost can move things (small things) turn on lights, etc. Only a demonic spirit can move heavy objects and hurt someone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
This is supposedly done by the manipulation of energy around the spirit. They take the energy (and negative energy is very strong) and use it to manipulate things around us.</div>

One of our favorite “HOT” topics is catching the paranormal in photographs. I am sure many of you have taken a picture (more so in the past when you actually used FILM) and when it was developed you found odd light sources, and distorted faces. The question is; are these REALLY paranormal apparitions, or are they just defects in the film? Are they sprits, or are they just distortions of light?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The most common paranormal occurrences caught on film are; <br />
</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Orbs</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Vortexes</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Ectoplasm</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Shadow Ghosts</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We have captured numerous orbs on our investigations, and I will agree some are dust, BUT I will also argue some are very debatable! Take this photo for example, taken on a calm evening with no wind… The light orb is in motion, and it appears to moving upward. Is it a bug, is it dust? Some would argue that it is…. I feel differently about this one. This orb was caught on film at the same time we cough the Edward Parr EVP.</div>

A really good friend of the SCGS came to us earlier this year with concern that her home may be haunted. We went back and forth on a number of possibilities and when we finally came to the conclusion that SOMETHING was going on, she decided to have her home investigated. Because she is on the other side of the country she had a local group perform the investigation.... (We would have loved to do it ourselves).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After the investigation she sent the evidence back to us so we could analyze it. We spent hours reviewing the EVP’s and felt like we came up with some good ideas of what was being said.</div>

Upon further investigation, we found out that an Edwin G Parr died of pneumonia at age 13 and was buried in the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Salt</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Lake</placetype> <placetype w:st="on">Cemetery</placetype></place> on June 10, 1906.

The reality of paranormal activity is exciting for some, and terrifying for others. Here are some of the basic questions we ask people when confronted with this question…</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Have you recently lost a family member or close friend?<br />Has anything like this happened before?<br />Do you seem to lose important items and they show up again later?<br />De pets (such as dogs or cats) avoid and seem afraid of certain areas of the home?<br />Do lights or televisions turn on and of by themselves?<br />Have you heard someone call your name when you are home alone?<br />Do you feel as though you are being watched?<br />Have members of the family used a Ouija board or similar items in the home?<br />Do photographs in the home appear with unexplained mists or orbs? </span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Is any member of your family involved with the occult or participated in any form of Satan worshiping?</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Is your home built near any sort of cemetery, or otherwise sacred land?</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Have there been any murders, or other dark activities take place in your home in the past? </span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></o:p></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">These are just a few of the questions we will ask people when they think they might have something paranormal going on. If you answered yes to any or all of these questions then you might consider contacting a local paranormal investigator, or talking to your local clergy.</span></p>Gateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10555150288398620222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031972841849163153.post-13023383953845579342011-09-10T13:28:00.000-07:002011-09-10T13:32:22.612-07:002011 Ghost Hunting Season<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">As the prime ghost hunting season is upon us our team is getting together to plot out our research areas.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: times new roman;">Here is some cool information about the Jack-o-Lanterns </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">A <b>jack-o'-lantern</b> is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called <i>ignis fatuus</i> or <i>jack-o'-lantern</i>. In a jack-o'-lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced. At night, a light is placed inside to illuminate the effect.</span><span lang="EN"> </span>(Sources taken from Wikipedia)</span><br />

The inanimate object in and of itself is not haunted, but it is referred to as a “Trigger Object”. A trigger object can be anything associated with a deceased person that is used to catch the attention of that entity.</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">These items can be, keys, toys, coins, photos, anything….There have been documented cases where a trigger object (such as a stuffed animal) was placed in a room and that object was seen moving. There is also a case where a ball was placed in a hallway and the ball was also moved from its original location.</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Some trigger objects are not so innocent and can attract entities that don’t just want to roll the ball… In some cases these trigger objects have been known to attract poltergeists, and have also ushered in other entities besides the one attached to the trigger object.</span></p><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">IF you think you might posses an object that is triggering paranormal activity, try getting it out of your house for a while. Give it to a friend to hold, or put it in a safe deposit box at your local bank. See if getting rid of the object stops the activity.</span></p>Gateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10555150288398620222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031972841849163153.post-9853871489357877282011-03-31T09:10:00.001-07:002011-03-31T16:06:00.248-07:00What is a Poltergeist???<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Poltergeist is the German word for ‘Noisy Ghost’. .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Poltergeist manifestations can include (but not always) inanimate object being thrown or moved around a room, knocking, pounding, or banging noises. In VERY RARE cases the person witnessing the event has been physically attacked.</span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Because the study of the paranormal has no conclusive scientific explanation of this event..(And there are many who do not believe these events even occur) it is difficult to say why and how this phenomenon occurs. Some studies indicate that the troublesome spirit is trying to make contact with a particular person and is doing it in the only way they know how. Other studies suggest that these entities are simply mischievous spirits who like to scare the living.</span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;">One study that I have found to be rather interesting suggests that a poltergeist is brought on by the individual experiencing it. Through prolonged periods of unresolved or repressed stress the individual is allowing their negative energy to be used by the entity to fuel its ability to manifest. Often times when the individual seeks counseling (or other forms of help to relive this stress) the reported poltergeist activity stops.</span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;">In most reported cases the activity will only last from 1 to 6 weeks and then it will just stop. Once again (as stated before) due to the lack of scientific explanation all we can do is continue to study these cases and hop that one day science can help up understand why these things happen, and how to control the situation.</span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Your feedback is always welcome!!! </span></div>Gateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10555150288398620222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031972841849163153.post-73458646063708477032010-11-01T19:43:00.000-07:002010-11-02T08:10:40.999-07:00And the Plot Doth ThickenHold on to your EMF detectors, ghost seekers!<br /><br />SCGS is continually trying to follow up on previous investigations. One of the investigations that has puzzled us has been the Fort Douglas Cemetery. There is a section of the cemetery where 12 German POWs are buried. We were unable to find out what happened...until now.<br /><br />While looking at our new <b><a href="http://www.archives.utah.gov/research/indexes/20842.htm">favorite website</a>, </b>we found the death certificates of some of the men killed on July 8, 1945. They all say that they died due to gunshot wounds. All were ruled as "Accidental", but later on, someone went in and underlined "Homicide".

We will be heading back to Fort Douglas soon to reopen this case and see if we can visit with the men that were killed under undeserved circumstances. </div>H.M.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>SCGS decided that since it is that wonderful time of year and the best holiday by far, we were going to head to the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City by the campus of the University of Utah. While searching, we came across the headstone of a beautiful young woman by the name of Cleo Zaharias. She was of Greek decent and was only 20 years old at the time of death.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Upon further investigation in the <a href="http://www.archives.utah.gov/research/indexes/20842.htm"><b>Utah State Archives</b></a><b>,</b> this young woman's death certificate was found. Utah state law allows death certificates over 50 years old to be viewed by the public. They have death certificates as far back as 1905-1959. They also have available the burial and cemetery records of all cemeteries in the state. Since Cleo passed away in 1940, we were able to find out more about her. She was a housekeeper at the general hospital and died from Uremia, or kidney failure, due to mercury poisoning. The officials and doctors ruled her death a suicide. The image of her death certificate can be seen <a href="http://images.archives.utah.gov/data/81448/2260354/2260354_0000513.jpg"><b>here</b></a><b>.</b><br />

At the bottom of the head stone it read "Lover of Music". At this point, one of the SCGS crew asked if anyone could hear a piano playing "Mary Had a Little Lamb." We were unable to debunk this experience because there are no houses around this portion of the cemetery and there were not electrical devices with this sound on it. Did Miss Cleo decide to pay us a visit on this Day of the Dead? You be the judge.<br />

Our yearly Halloween party was tonight. We had a great time with fun friends, ate some yummy food, grooved to some awesome tunes and played some interesting games. Thanks to all of you who came and partied with us! </div><br /></div>Gateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10555150288398620222noreply@blogger.com0
