STEP BY ESTEP GUIDE … That Haunted Hospitals Guy visits wait

for myself, there was no way I was going to turn him down. The hospital is located in Tennessee, which meant flying, rather than driving. I turned to two of my closest friends to accompany me on a five-night investigation that found the three of us getting up close and personal with some of the hospital’s resident spirits. I am generally pretty skeptical when it comes to claims of locations being haunted, so I made sure to ask around first. The Klinge Brothers had gotten results there, and my friend Scott Porter of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers told me that the case was legit. As with so many places, however, it was tough to separate truth from fiction when it came down to some of the stories that surrounded OSPH.

An OLDIE but a DOOGIE BY RICHARD “THE HAUNTED HOSPITALS GUY” ESTEP

Although it was never a conscious choice that I made, at some point on my paranormal journey, I somehow became the ‘Haunted Hospitals’ guy. As far as I am concerned, that’s just fine and dandy. Having written several books about ghosts and their relationship to the medical profession, then served as an on-camera subject matter ‘expert’ for the TV series Haunted Hospitals, I have greatly enjoyed investigating some extremely haunted houses of healing (and a few others that didn’t quite live up to their reputation). All of this meant that when Ronnie Dee, the owner of the nowinfamous Old South Pittsburg Hospital (OSPH), offered me the opportunity to visit for a few days and research its haunting What we can say with confidence is that after it first opened its doors in 1959, OSPH spent the better part of forty years taking care of the sick and injured, before discharging its last patient in 1998. Stories abound of the hospital having been built on Native American land (where in America isn’t?) and the confluence of several ley lines. The proximity of underground water and a nearby mountain have also been put forward as possible explanations for the paranormal activity that numerous eyewitnesses have reported experiencing down through the years.

“OSPH has something I have never come across before: a haunted elevator. It is claimed that a doctor went into cardiac arrest inside the lift and was unable to be resuscitated.”

Nor is his the only ghost that has been seen reported from inside the hospital. Take Jeff (not his real name), a former live-in janitor, who spent most of his time hanging out on the ground floor. Jeff was heavily into music, and had created his own marijuana-themed comic book character called Pot Man — so we figured he was going to love meeting a paranormal team from the Mile-High City... It was grey and overcast when I pulled into the parking lot at OSPH. The rain was only going to get heavier as afternoon turned to evening, and the commonly held theory that paranormal activity increases during inclement weather turned out to hold true. I was joined by fellow researcher Jason, who I had worked with on countless cases over the past few years, and Stephen, a paranormal investigator and Catholic priest who had proven himself to be indispensable during other investigations. We did not know it at the time, but the three of us were in for a wild ride. Our hosts were Leanne and Zach, two volunteers who knew the hospital inside and out. We would also be joined by Cindy, the property manager, who also possessed a wealth of information. They gave us a whistle stop tour of the place, taking us from floor to floor an pointing out some of the hot spots. We were advised to focus some attention on the second-floor nurses’ station, especially between 5:30 and 6:30 PM, when it was supposed to be at its most active. I was a little skeptical of that, but decided to take them at their word, and we all took seats on the comfortable leather furniture that occupied the centre of the hallway. From there, we had a great field of view down the length of what was called the ‘Shadow Hallway,’ a long corridor with patient rooms on either side, that led to the geriatric wing.

Jason set up a Tesla coil in the center of the hallway and fired it up. The device began spitting out blue plasma, but more importantly, giving off a flood of electromagnetic energy. Our hope was that it would act as a potential fuel source for paranormal activity.

As night fell outside the hospital, it began to get dark inside. The vast majority of OSPH has no electrical supply whatsoever, and no Wi-Fi network either, so EMF meters were actually somewhat useful on this investigation. So were Rem-Pods, which would alarm on a regular basis without anything to set them off. I sat there in a comfortable leather armchair, running a digital voice recorder, and interviewing our hosts about some of their experiences. Jason and Stephen were sitting at the far end of the Shadow Hallway, hoping to catch sight of the full-bodied male apparition that had been seen down there.

I glanced up from my tablet, where I had been taking notes, and froze. There, standing in the doorway behind the nurse’s station, was a shadow figure. It had a distinctly male build and was about the same size and height as Stephen. For a split-second, I thought it was him.

movement of shadows. I have taken part in this activity several times, and the problem is that our eyes are so easily fooled. Look at something long enough in a low light, and the chances are that your brain will start to invent movement and distortion, whether it is really happening or not. (This is also one of the issues with mirror scrying).

He hadn’t moved from his spot. I recalled from the tour that there was no physical way he could have gotten past me to the nurse’s station anyway, because the two parts of the building didn’t directly connect. Everybody in the building was accounted for, and we were locked in.

So, who the hell was it?

I flew out of the chair like it was on fire. The shadow figure ducked back into the room it had come from. I made it in there in less than five seconds. It was big, spacious, and empty, with only one exit, and my eyes had been on it the entire time. Nobody could have gotten in or out of the room without my having seen them. “What the hell happened?” Jason wanted to know, appearing in the doorway behind me.

“The shadow figure that I saw, on the other hand, was close, not at the end of a hallway. It could not have been more than ten feet away, and rather than being some vague, nebulous mass, it had clearly defined arms, legs, torso, and a head — albeit without any recognizable facial features.

“I just saw a shadow figure. Above five foot, eight inches tall. Standing right there where you are now, plain as day.” “I hate you,” he grumbled, shaking his head. Jason has an ‘always a bridesmaid, never a bride’ mentality sometimes. When it comes to experiencing something paranormal, he is usually the last in line. Being the resident team pragmatist sometimes has its disadvantages, but then again, we can usually depend on him to play Devil’s Advocate, which is always useful. Whenever I hear claims of somebody seeing a shadow figure, the first thing I think of is that their eyes were playing tricks on them — either that, or an overactive imagination is at play. Many paranormal enthusiasts like to hallway gaze, sitting in a dark corridor in nearblackout conditions and watch for the

I could hardly believe my eyes. At the same time, though, I know what I saw. Over the course of our stay, the hospital rewarded us with with a plethora of EVPs. One of the most fruitful locations was the body box, a small, confined area about the size of a walk-in closet that was next to the emergency department waiting room. According to our hosts, this part of the hospital was used as a makeshift morgue when the situation required it, temporarily storing the bodies of those who died at OSPH. Four of us sat inside the cramped little space, running a burst EVP session. When we played the file back, we were blown away at what we heard: A gruff male voice, one that definitely did not belong to anybody on our team, growled the words: FOUR, followed by F*@! OFF! Clearly, somebody did not want us intruding on his private space.

Another hotspot was the room housing the autoclave, a device used to sterilize surgical equipment by heating it to very high temperatures — a bit like a pressure cooker, but a lot more expensive. We spent some time conducting Estes Method sessions in there, with the room in complete darkness. On playback, a different male voice was heard to say: LOOK OUT BACK.

As the week went on, the hospital got less active as the weather improved, but it never let us down entirely. Stephen caught sight of a figure in white disappearing from view at the end of the Shadow Hallway. A bright white light filling the front lobby one night turned to be something completely non-paranormal: a visit from the local police department, who liked to keep a watchful eye on the place, to make sure that nobody was breaking in. I could not help but ask the cop if he knew any strange stories about the hospital.

He told me that one night, several years before, he and two other officers had been sent to check out reports of kids throwing things off the roof. When they pulled into the parking lot and shone their flashlight beams up at the roof, there was no sign of any kids — but somebody was standing stock still in one of the thirdfloor windows, just looking right back at them.

They made entry into the hospital and began to clear it, moving slowly and methodically from room to room, climbing from floor to floor. Unbeknownst to them, their radios and cell phones had all stopped working. The 911 dispatcher was half out of their mind with worry; after all, three officers suddenly going radio silent without explanation could turn out to have a very bad explanation. With that in mind, additional units were immediately dispatched as backup.

The responding officers saw their colleagues’ cruisers parked in the hospital lot. They, too, lit the building up with spotlights, then made their way inside. It did not take long for them to link up with the missing officers and establish that they were alright — except now, their radios and cell phones were dead too.

Now that there were more hands available, it took just a few more minutes to clear the building and establish that there were no indications of breaking and entering. The old hospital was locked up and secure — which only made it seem all the stranger when the second wave of cops wanted to know exactly who it was that had been staring down at them from the third floor...

Our radios worked inside the building just fine (although we did experience several unexplained power drains) and our cell phones worked well enough, as long as we had a certain carrier. Spirit Box experiments also yielded interesting results. Stephen was called a pussy several times, which reduced the rest of us to fits of laughter. At the end of a hallway on the third floor, reputed to be the most active at OSPH, is Nancy’s room (not her real name). Named after an old female resident who had sadly passed away in there, Nancy had a reputation for getting a little bit handsy with male visitors. Determined to put this story to the test, I laid down on Nancy’s bed while Jason, Stephen, and Cindy tried a scrying experiment. As weird as it sounds, I started to feel the strangest tingling sensation on the outside of my left leg. It was not pins and needles, or any normal sensation that I had ever felt before. The best way that I can describe it would be as if a low-level electrical field were somehow being applied to my skin. It stayed that way for the next five minutes, and then dissipated. Neither Jason or Stephen felt anything similar. Looking back, I cannot say for sure whether it was something paranormal or some kind of odd, temporary reaction by my skin — though to what, I am not sure. It is also possible that it was a completely psychogenic phenomenon, my brain playing tricks on itself, subconsciously influenced by the stories I had heard about Nancy. The fifth and final night of my stay was a public event, in which I would be joined by author J.B. Coates and Steven ‘Doogie’ McDougal of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers. The organizer, Gregg T.J. Justice, split us up into groups and turned us loose on the hospital. Doogie spent the night in Jim’s area, down on the ground floor. He got a lot of interaction as the evening wore on, much of it coming through a custom Spirit Box he had brought with him. (He also took it with good humor when I told him that, as far as I was concerned, a ‘wraith’ was something that Mike Tyson liked to run...) J.B. worked up on the third floor, running guests through some innovative isolation-based experiments. At least one of the participants reported feeling the distinct sensation of a hand in the small of her back, despite the fact that nobody made physical contact with her at any time. For my part, I had taken up position in the emergency department waiting room. We also made full use of the so-called Body Box, and without being biased by foreknowledge, a number of attendees reported feeling short of breath, nauseated, or light-headed — independently of one another. A couple also broke out in a cold sweat, and once again I was left wondering whether their symptoms were psychogenic, or something more. I left a little before sunrise, having spent five days and nights delving into the mysteries of the Old South Pittsburg Hospital. Several of those who volunteered there had told me that they felt drawn to the place, as though it exerted some kind of attraction to them that they could not explain. Standing in the parking lot and loading my cases into the back of my rental car, I felt a sudden shiver run through me. Probably just the cold night air, I rationalized, but as I drove slowly away from OSPH for what almost certainly wasn’t the last time, I could not resist looking up at the third floor. This time, all of the windows were dark and empty.

This haunted house in Hinsdale New York,is perhaps the most famous haunted house in the world. Featured on vir tually ever y american television network possible, it’s haunted history keeps it on the paranormal investigator’s “bucket list”. It has all of the elements of a good ghost stor y: a mysterious history, strange sightings on it’s property, unexplainable events and even exorcism. The house on McMahon Road first gained notoriety when a book called “Echoes of a Haunting”, written by Clara Dandy of her own experiences in the house was published. Clara and Phil Dandy lived in the house along with their children in the early 1970’s. During their time there, they were visited by many spirits. A priest from St. Bonaventure University was at the house more than once to per form exorcisms which worked for awhile but as time went by the Dandy family lost their battle with the paranormal and ended up leaving the house for good.

As the years passed by, a few families have lived in the home but didn’t stay for long. This is where Daniel Klaes comes into the picture. Daniel purchased the infamous house and put it back into a functional condition. Today Daniel allows teams to investigate the proper ty in hopes of discovering the mysteries behind the many spirits who haunt the home.

In June of 2015 Dan realized a lifelong dream. The infamous Hinsdale House, site of insect infestations and structural exorcism became available for purchase. Dan was then contacted by producers from the Destination America televsion network who contracted the house to be featured on the hit T V series Paranormal Lockdown featuring Nick Groff and Katrina Wiedman. The Episode was the highest viewed episode of the series. Such was the phenomena that after Nick left both EVP and Geobox evidence called for his return to the house. Nick and Katrina later returned to film a Halloween special at the house that was featured on the The Learning Channe (TLC). Groups can book the house for public overnight stays and private paranormal investigations.

The house was also the basis for the movie, A Haunting on The Discovery Channel. For booking information please go to www.HauntedHinsdaleHouse.com. To see our current and future events please see our Facebook Page.

“WE SIT AND WAIT... DOES AN ANGEL CONTEMPLATE OUR FATE?” If they do. Sam Bennett’s guide to Feathers will help …

Have you wondered about feather signs and their colour significance? For a start, feathers (and other things such as coins, birds, butterflies) can be signs from the angels or your guides that they are near - that they hear you and are supporting you. It can be an acknowledgement of you or your thoughts or it is their way of saying hello. These signs can also be from loved ones in spirit or from Spirit itself. It is often a magical moment. I have had many beautiful feather experiences and have watched one fall from the sky onto my daughter’s lap while we had a picnic in our backyard! Whenever you observe a sign, take note of what you were thinking just before it happened, or what is going on in your life at the moment. What could the sign be telling you? Even if you do not understand the meaning of the sign at the time, it could become clearer later, or you may be absorbing it in at a sub-conscious level. You can also ask for feather (or other) signs to come to you. And you can be specific.

I once asked for confirmation that I had a male guide watching over me (which is what I was feeling and just wanted the magical validation). I asked that if it were true, I be shown in the form of a blue feather. I picked blue because it was rarer, and I saw it as an obviously male colour. Exactly one week later I went to work and as I approached some steps outside there were bright blue feathers everywhere! They were fake ones, but it didn’t matter. It was another of those magical moments. It is just a matter of believing, letting go, and staying aware. Signs often remind us to be at peace and relax into the nature and flow of life. The meanings can at times be profound, and at other times quite simple. The best advice when signs happen is to not put any pressure on yourself to understand it. Take it as an opportunity to connect, take notice of and thank the ever-present Spirit.

If your sign is an item such as a feather, you can keep it in a special place whether that be by your bedside, on your dresser, or added to your sacred space / spiritual altar. Or you can gently release it back to nature or where you found it. The Native American people had a great spiritual understanding about feathers, their colours and their meaning. They would take the utmost care of any feathers that came their way as they saw it as a sacred gift. To answer your question about feather colours, firstly I always recommend seeking the answer within yourself first. Do you have any particular personal association with the colour? What does the colour make you think of or feel? What are the universal meanings of that colour to your knowledge? Does the feather you found act as an answer to a question or some kind of acknowledgement. Always go with your gut and the first impressions you get. WHAT DIFFERENT FEATHER COLOURS MEAN: Here is a brief rundown of the possible colour meanings of feathers (though trust your own heart and use this as a general guide - you can experiment with this!) WHITE - purification, spirituality, hope, trust, faith, protection, peace, Heaven, angels, and also act as blessings and wisdom connected with moon. BLACK - a black feather is a much stronger message. It is a sign that innately tells us to pay attention. You have received your message, and the Angels are pleased. When black feathers come from Angels, it usually means a transition is coming. This major change is often at your soul level. RED - the root chakra (money, possessions, security, career), physical vitality/energy/life/action, passion, emotions, courage. BLUE - throat chakra (communication, acceptance, speaking your truth) peace, inspiration, mental abilities/ knowledge, connection with spirits, spiritual protection and psychic awareness. YELLOW - solar plexus chakra (gut intuition, happiness), blessings and wisdom connected with powerful sun energy, intelligence, playfulness, joy, cheerfulness, mental alertness, vision. GREEN - (heart chakra - love, emotions, relationships, forgiveness), health, healing, nature, environment, nature spirits, plant spirits, animal spirits, growth, fertility, harmony, unity, money, prosperity, success. ORANGE - (sacral chakra - sex/ physical relationships, love, appetite, attraction), energy, change, optimism, and ambition, success, new ideas, will power, creativity, physical love, new ideas, will power, independence.

PINK - love, romance, feelings, friendship, caring, compassion, harmony, service, empathy, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, honour. GREY - peace and neutrality (as it is in the middle of black and white), authentic, flexibility. PURPLE - (crown chakra - universal consciousness, spiritual connection), heightened spiritual growth and experiences, higher thought. BROWN - earth, stability, grounding, endurance, home, friendship, respect.

“she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection” COLOUR COMBINATIONS: Black and white mixed feathers can represent protection, or the sense of union. Black mixed with purple represents a very deep spirituality. I would take it as a deeply mystical sign. Black, white, and blue mixed feathers denote change on the horizon. Feathers with red and green in them or together would denote that you are being assisted financially. I would take it as a very lucky sign. Grey and white symbolise hope Have you ever had an angelic / paranormal feather experience? Please do let us know by emailing feathers@hauntedmagazine.co.uk Until the next time …

THE FLAME GAME FIRE & THE PARANORMAL PUTTING THE HOT INTO GHOSTS

by Morgan Knudsen E n t i t y s e e k e r R e s e a r c h & Te a c h i n g s

As many of you have come to know, I have been in the paranormal field for around 20 years, however in my efforts to teach people in an engaging and memorable way, I have presented in theatres, used projection mapping, created limo experiences, and also learned the art of fire.

It has become a core passion of mine that includes fire eating, fire breathing, vapour tricks, fire staff, and Levi-wand. Over the years, I have found it one of the most efficient tools in teaching my students one simple concept: What you have been taught may not be entirely true. Yes, I know your parents told you. Yes, I know you were scolded by every adult in your experience. Yes, I know you have read it in “science books”. Have you ever challenged it? Do you have all the facts? Yes, I know you think you do. But what if I can show you that you,

indeed, do not? Will you shift your position on a long-held paradigm? This is currently the crux of the study of paranormal phenomenon and the core of the struggle in proper psi research. Getting the scientific community to override their paradigms of what is often false perception (usually perpetrated by false information and old belief systems, not scientific research) is a real challenge in both the academic community, as well as the general public, who are often only educated through “ghost hunting” entertainment programs or fear-based religious belief systems. “Putting students through a paranormal demonstration using fire arts is like inducting them into rehab: Can you let go of what you have learned long enough to create a new system of understanding?”

1. Acknowledge your paradigm might be wrong: Just because the majority of people are limping, does not mean limping is the best way to walk. Just because you were told the paranormal is “evil” and always horrifying, does not mean that is rooted in fact. Just because you were told you were unwanted or stupid by your parents or peers, does not mean it is true – but you will live to your label if you leave it unchallenged. How willing are you to challenge what you believe to be truth? Many people have not even begun to consider whether or not what they live is true, mostly because perception is reality, and if you are not willing to change your perception, the universe will deliver a mirror of your beliefs pretty consistently. The good news is: You’re in control. The bad news is: You’re in control. With fire, people have been given a strict paradigm as children: “Fire is hot. Do not touch it. It is always dangerous, and it is unpredictable.” We all know that fire has the potential to be destructive, wild, and untamed. Its behaviour is a mystery to most people, but this does not mean it cannot be understood and mastered, and the paradigm that fire cannot be touched is simply not true. There is solid science behind how and why this is the case which we will cover in number 3, but for now, simply acknowledging the idea that this long-held belief system based on a lack of facts and understanding is wrong, is the beginning of this mental shift. 2. Surrender preconceived ideas to Source, be open to be shown something different: Now that does not mean the mental construct of fire being a solely destructive monster is easy to conquer. Often, being near fire causes us to instantly recoil, jump away, or become hyper vigilant. It is, of course, important to be aware it is present, but the story we tell ourselves about the fire is what needs to change. Just in the same way we are required to re-frame negative messages in our heads spoken on to us by others, we must begin to hold the truth to the lie when it comes to both the paranormal and fire arts. Part of this requires being able to surrender. Our brain wants to right-fight with the new message: It wants to be right more than it wants to be happy or knowledgeable. We have trained our minds into certain behaviours and paradigms, and any attempts to dislodge them can make us feel insecure and frightened. We want to hang on to what we know because it feels safer, which, in itself, is a misnomer. False knowledge does not protect us, especially in the case of a powerful element like fire, and often our beliefs about a subject create more fear than is warranted. How willing are you to let those go, or are they internalized into your world view? Can you surrender them long enough to change your world view, or are you rooted in the idea that what you know is core to how the world operates?This decision will ultimately determine whether or not you can even hear point 3. 3. Learn the facts: There is a strict science behind fire eating and fire breathing, and those who do not understand that science end up failing or injured. One of the most common mistakes, and most deadly, is the use of the wrong fuel. The wrong accelerant can result in severe burns, explosions, and property destruction. But let us talk about that for a

moment. How many times have we gone into a situation with the wrong emotional accelerant or knowledge base, and watched the situation burn to the metaphorical ground? Assumptions and not taking the time to align ourselves with the proper information ends up resulting in a slow burn, and sometimes an explosion that ignites. In chemistry, this is called “flashpoint”: Temperature at and above which a liquid gives off enough flammable vapor to form a mixture with air that can be ignited by contact with a hot surface, spark, or flame. The lower the flash point, greater the fire hazard. The lower your grasp on a situation, or the greater your assumptions, the lower your flashpoint. The right fuel itself actually provides the key to creating and understanding the magic. The right fuel, such as the white gas naphtha, can provide a type of barrier between your skin and the heat of the flame (for a short time, thanks to the gifts of thermodynamics and thermal lag), allowing the fire to burn without damaging your body. Leave it too long, and the fire will bleed through, but understanding the delicate balance of science, fuel, and art allows me to create visual magic with nothing other than my mastery of fear and understanding of the facts. In parapsychology, the fuel is your intention and the knowledge will provide you brief glimpses into the wonder that is this world.

Things you think you cannot touch, handle, or experience suddenly become possible with enough understanding of the science, your “fuel”, and your mastery.

Breath work is another key factor in fire arts. Breath is the movement of air and life throughout your body and is the key to meditation

and connection in many spiritual practices. A lack of understanding of breath can take your life. If we do not have it, we lose consciousness. In the fire arts, inhaling at the wrong time can cause internal burns, chemical poisoning, or death. Understanding what gives us life is just as important in understanding what makes psi phenomenon tick. Consciousness and where it comes from is returned to again and again in discussions of whether it is emergent or fundamental. Research into when apparitions or paranormal experiences occur have uncovered that these often happen when the individual is most relaxed. During the ganzfeld experiments, the “receivers” work with meditation and breath to receive images, telepathically, from the “senders” in other rooms. This brings us into the moment, and into the Now, which connects us to a deeper core within ourselves, and leads to point number 4. Respect the fire as an entity and it will work with you, as it is an extension of you: There is a beautiful dance and partnership that develops between fire and the artist. This is reflected in many ways throughout our lives, as it is representative of the balance, we can create within ourselves, as well as with the nonphysical influences around us. Like the painter and the paintbrush, the archer and the bow, the smith and the sword, the relationships we create with our art are a direct extension of who we are. Our relationship with nonphysical, with the paranormal, with spirit (however you define it), is a direct reflection of the mastery we have within ourselves. How bright the flame burns are a direct reflection of the type of fuel, as well as the sheer amount we have. Whether or not that fuel causes an explosion or injury, is a direct response to our willingness to gather the facts and understand its properties, and how the fire behaves is a direct result of our mastery. If respect replaces fear, we begin to take the time and care to master, not only our understanding, but our mental story. Mastering the mental story, we tell ourselves allows us to pursue the unknown in a way that leaves us open to possibility, rather than closed to preconceptions.

The paranormal is a celebration of human connection. It speaks a different language than intellect and mind, and in order to translate it, we, as humans, need to learn to speak from the heart language. What I mean by that is we have to go deeper. We see this reflected best in the double slit experiment, where we have come to understand that the outcome of the experiment itself depends on the intentions of those present. In modern physics, the double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles, and is often the result of the person’s expectations, not some environmental influence. The language in which the universe operates is often far from “logicbased”, and intellect can only bring us so far before we need to switch to a new language. What I offer here is the opportunity to pay attention to both, and understand they are intrinsically connected. It is about learning, or rather tuning into, the awareness that the intellectual story we tell ourselves needs to be continuously challenged. The paradigm that we battle is often the most crucial obstacle to our understanding of life mastery, and ultimately our freedom from fear.
