The hospital has her listed in critical condition with 13 ribs cracked or broken. We will be departing Deming, New Mexico this coming week as we begin our 2,000 mile journey to the Pacific Northwest to be with her. We will be using the Mail Forwarding Address of Deming, New Mexico for our incoming mail. The Mail Forwarding Service will forward our mail as we request it. Prior to my mother's accident, we were planning on departing Deming, New Mexico and heading northward into cooler weather. We will be returning to the Arizona-New Mexico region this fall and winter, as we will be gathering more material for our third book. Our publisher has contracted with us for three more books for us to write, each will be similar to our next release book that now has a street release date of January 2005 instead of August 2004. We will be able to offer the book on our website in September as will the Publisher. Seems it takes four months turn around for Ingram to stock the book and offer it to retail bookstores. As ghost researchers, we know that when a paranormal event occurs, the local eye witnesses provide a better viewpoint of what took place then some panel or committee convened years after the event took place. A single eyewitness may view the events from their prospective, but a number of eyewitnesses to an event would suggest that the multiple witnesses did observe the event taking place. It was interesting as we researched the Crash of Flight 93 for one of our forthcoming books; we discovered a wealth of information ignored by the government that gives a different version of what happened to Flight 93 The official version of the crash ignored the many local eyewitnesses that stated that they observed a military type white jet near the aircraft before the crash. The fact that teams have recovered parts of Flight 93 up to eight miles away, only possible if the plane broke up in midair. The official version does not explain these anomalies and given the governments propensity for shielding the truth from us peons, the truth may be so buried that like lone gunman on the knoll, the truth hidden in obscure explanations. The story we will be presenting suggest insights into why some people on board Flight 93 might have unfinished business or unresolved issues. Testimony never before heard will send chills up your spine as you read about the haunting of Flight 93. Restless spirits still walk the crash site today. We offer the most comprehensive home study courses that is available anywhere. We were the first organization to offer home study program for ghost hunters through the Internet. Our programs contain the knowledge acquired from 28 years of combined experience. We treat the subject of the paranormal very seriously. We share everything we have learned in our home study courses. Beginners can spend hundreds of dollars in equipment, but discover that it is not the equipment that makes a ghost hunter, but it is the background and knowledge that allows the ghost hunter to use equipment to document the existence of ghosts. This knowledge is more important than what kind of digital camera you purchase, or what kind of digital recorder you use in your investigations. I would guess ninety-five percent of all new ghost hunters have no understanding of ghosts. Simply snapping digital photos of airborne dust particles and calling them ghost orbs ranks them with unproven psychics who claim they see ghosts in every airborne dust particle they capture with their digital camera. As ghost researchers, we teach that death is a mirror image of life, our intelligence, our emotions, our personality and our hang-ups continue with us beyond the grave. We do not suddenly lose our anger or our dislike for something simply because we are dead. The Christian view that we can leave all of our burdens behind at death is not accurate, we still carry those burdens until such time as we can discard them ourselves by learning to forgive, forget, heal, and move on with our lives. Death bed repentance does not mean we remove the guilt or burdens we carry, it simply means we acknowledge them, but that does not do anything positive in the long run. The spirit realm is a place we still must work out our salvation, the place we learn to discard negativity and anchors that restrict us from moving forward with our spiritual lives. On a new note, I have received the updated version of our Ultrasonic TEC unit from our engineer. I will begin testing of this new Ultrasonic EVP detector. We are still deeply committed to testing our new technology for talking to the dead. It will take some time, but we will keep our readers posted on its results. Happy trails. Dr. Sharon’s Notes: Dave and I extend our sincere thanks to those who attended the Alamo Conference in San Antonio last weekend. The speakers were excellent and enlightening and are people involved in serious ghost research in their own areas. Everyone enjoyed the time together and the time of learning and sharing. The conference was held in the Patio Room of the historic Menger Hotel, which has a reputation of being actively haunted. Some of the people attending experienced some of the antics of the resident ghosts. Two of the people attending, Debbie Harris and Nancy Coplin of the American Paranormal Society of Johnstown, PA., experienced some of the odd occurrences in their room on the fifth floor. When Nancy tried to press the wrinkles out of the clothes packed in her suitcase, the iron continually shut itself off. This occurred eight separate times giving her reason to wonder why they did not want her to do the ironing. It was not just Nancy that experienced the strangeness. Debbie did not skate unaffected by the spirits present either. Debbie carried her Nikon camera with her all the time prepared for any Kodak moments that might come along. In the Patio Room when she tried to snap a picture, she discovered her battery was dead. She had put brand new batteries in all of her equipment before leaving for the conference, but undisturbed and knowing this can occur, she went upstairs to her room to retrieve fresh batteries. When she returned to the conference room, the look on her face was not one of someone who was very pleased. Every new battery she had brought along was dead. It is a good thing Debbie knows that ghost research takes a lot of patience at times. Nancy and Debbie had many experiences while staying at the Menger and so did others attending the conference. There is never assurance when staying at a known haunted site that anything will occur. It does seem that this time, the ghosts were very active, even attending the conference in the Patio Room. Rene Bleys, parapsychologist and paranormal investigator snapped pictures in the Patio Room and sent us one photo that contains multiple vortices. It seems that everyone was having a good time, even from the other side. As people who attended the conference begin sharing the EVP and photographs taken, we will share them with our readers and those who listen to the Jeff Rense program we do on the first Friday of every month. We did not stay at the Menger, but at a motel about six miles from downtown San Antonio. That is not to say we did not have things happening though. Our first night we had strange things happen, so we turned on the recorder to see if someone would reveal to us who they were. We had left BooBoo in the room while we went out to get some dinner. It was hot and humid and not something, we would subject her to by leaving her in the car. I left the television set on for company and even turned the volume down before leaving the room. When we returned, the television was off and the remote control was moved from where I had left it on the bed, to the other side of the bedside table. I had felt a cold burst of air and mentioned to Dave that it seemed someone was present. Dave turned the digital recorder on for a two minute recording and got the name, Hector. We have no idea who Hector might have been but it could have been someone who had worked at the motel at one time or had just come to pay a visit. It was interesting how he let us know he was present though and Boo showed no fear by his being there. We have people contact us who want to attend the events we hold, indicating that they are attending only to have a first hand experience with a ghost. There are never any guarantees that paranormal events will take place and that is what we must tell the people who attend for that reason. Those involved in ghost research become more sensitive to the spirits and more often than not experience the presence of the unseen. A lot of what takes place around an investigator has to do with attitude and their purpose for investigating haunted sites. Do we have the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead? In all of our years of research, the indication is that we do have the ability to communicate with the other side. At times, we are able to see the spirits and capture them in photographs. We can ask them questions and record their answers, we can document life after life by various means. The spirits of our loved ones who have passed before us can reach through the veil to keep us from harm or to let us know they are at peace and happy on the other side. The spirits at the Menger Hotel let some of the people staying there know they were still around. They may not give a breakdown of why they remain there, but they do let folks know they are around in many different ways. What I have found to be true is that someone may encounter a ghost and never know it was a spirit of a departed person. They can appear to be solid and very real, yet people expect to see someone who is dressed in dated clothing that is almost transparent. The apparitions I have seen were as solid as if I were looking directly at Dave. What gave them away was the fact that the first apparition I saw was dressed in slacks and shoes I did not recognize. The first time I saw an apparition, all I got a glimpse of was a man from the waist down. Now that meant something very odd was taking place. Though we may see them, we may not recognize them as being ghosts. We can document the presences by taking photographs and recording for ethereal voice phenomena, both indicating there are spirits present. The ultimate goal in ghost research is to learn more about the spirits and the reasons they remain on this plane of existence. We have come to some valid conclusions but it is the documenting of their presence that takes researchers to the next level of learning. The field of paranormal research is one that is wide open to exploration as our society remains one that does not discuss death or accepts the existence of ghosts. The rule of thumb seems to be more that we live, we die, and we go either to eternal glory or to eternal damnation. Research has shown that there is far more to this life than we have ever acknowledged so the search for truth continues and the answers are coming, though slowly.
