9
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:39.759
If you dare, Welcome everybody to Spooky a Paranormal Podcast.
10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:47.880
Today we are going to be talking about parapsychology. And
11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.399
I thought I got a whole bunch of notes on this,
12
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.039
but I'm not going to do a whole bunch of
13
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.920
reading off on the notes. But I do want to
14
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.880
start with kind of a fun little little trivia thing.
15
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.840
So Allison is going to be put on the spot
16
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.959
for atle trivia thing. No, No, it's easy, it's easy. Well,
17
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.120
I don't know if it's easy, but it's it's not anyway.
18
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:18.719
So which of these have actually been studied by scientists?
19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.319
Dogs that know when their owners are coming home, whether
20
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.920
staring at someone from behind makes them turn around, or
21
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.959
random number generators affected by human intention.
22
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.920
I don't even know. You don't even okay, I want
23
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.760
to say, like the people one the staring at the
24
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.760
back of their head or yeah, okay, is it?
25
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.680
Yes? Actually all three? Oh okay, say look at that
26
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.959
easy answer. You'd have got it right anyway. Yes, yes,
27
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.280
there have been and those are all within the field
28
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.159
of parasitecology. Okay, So yes, there have been a lot
29
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.840
of studies that we know, or most people know when
30
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.360
we're being looked at. Have you ever been in a
31
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.560
crowd and you can just like send somebody looking at
32
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.719
you and then you like look over and they're like, oh,
33
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.039
I've been caught, you know, and then they like look away.
34
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:23.000
I know that studies have been found that it's a
35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.240
quote unquote like primal instinct that we have, but a
36
00:02:27.280
Load full transcript
--> 00:02:33.280
lot of people over time have lost just because I
37
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.879
mean if obviously back then society was very different, culture
38
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.520
is very different. Yes, so it was like an instinct
39
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.240
that they use because if you look at a lot
40
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.479
of animals, they almost since that like they can pick
41
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.479
up on when something pray prayer predators are around, like
42
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.319
scoping them out.
43
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.520
Yeah, so evolutionary thing.
44
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.680
Yeah, So apparently it's been found that because humans have
45
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.240
just evolved to what we are now, a lot of
46
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.840
people have lost that, but that's one of the things
47
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.080
that we kept, and that's why you get that sensation
48
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:08.560
that you have to look around.
49
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.120
Yeah, and you've had that happen, right, Yes, just everybody.
50
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.879
I think it's just about everybody has.
51
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:14.240
You know.
52
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.240
It's like you just know somebody's looking at you, you know,
53
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.919
and then you like look over and you catch them
54
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.319
and there's like god, you know, so but yeah, there's
55
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.120
that's that's like within the field of parapsychology, and basically
56
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.479
what parapsychology is is kind of the science behind anomalous
57
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:41.280
stuff that is kind of right now anyway beyond human understanding.
58
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.879
So things like you know, telepathy, telekinesis, you know, moving
59
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.360
things with your mind, esp consciousness, whether people you know,
60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.680
survive after death. You know, we go on to another
61
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.080
place after we die. You know, we have a soul,
62
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:12.639
and within that as well is cont activity, which is
63
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.560
what we're all about. Yes, you know, yeah, it's like, yeah,
64
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.519
let's get to the good stuff. Yeah, but it's all,
65
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.360
like you really think about it, it's all kind of
66
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.199
connected a little bit because even with the ghost stuff
67
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.959
how it's connected. There is like the psychic part of it,
68
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.000
you know, like clairvoyance and precognition and all that kind
69
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.480
of stuff.
70
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.720
This is almost like the overlying umbrella like every other
71
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.199
episode we've ever had, because if you think about how
72
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.759
religion falls under this, like you're saying, psychic mediums, almost
73
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.920
everything we've ever talked about, let's almost fall under this umbrella.
74
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.040
Yeah, it really could.
75
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.800
The things that really don't is like the appointment and
76
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.800
stuff like that. But even then that's almost like a
77
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:07.839
branch hall because it is.
78
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.240
Yeah, so yeah, it's and it's this field has been
79
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:18.120
around formally, you know, scientifically. I mean, ghosts have been
80
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.519
reported since Jesus' day probably before that for about one
81
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:30.199
hundred and fifty years, and there's been like really rigorous
82
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.959
scientific studies done on it at places like Duke University, Princeton, Stanford,
83
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:43.720
University of Edinburgh. So some like really big eases have
84
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.079
studied these things and collected data on these things.
85
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.279
And I'm glad you said that because that was gonna
86
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.519
be That's my next point is that, yes, this is
87
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.759
a field of study. Yeah, I mean, like you you
88
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.800
have education in it and everything. So it's like you
89
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.519
there is educational fields in this. A lot of university
90
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.680
will say, oh, it's a study that can't it's not
91
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.240
fully scientifically proven, this and that, but for those that
92
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:20.600
are interested, you can study it. So there's stuff out there.
93
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.120
There's stuff out there for you to even if it's like, oh,
94
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.399
just extracurriculator course, whatever, there's stuff out there. And I'm
95
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.319
glad it's like you brought up some of these bigger
96
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.319
name schools because it's yeah, it's these some of these
97
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.480
schools are offering it and it's maybe so minute, so little,
98
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.360
they're not advertising it as much. But I know another
99
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.319
faults under the umbrella. You can you know, start, you
100
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.000
can find people, find your group in this, and so
101
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.040
it's it's very helpful for those that are really interesting.
102
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360
Well. Yeah, and the thing is too, is that yes,
103
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.439
here in the US, I'm so glad you brought that up.
104
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.720
Here in the US, we've got the Ryan Research Center,
105
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.040
which used to be the
Parapsychology Lab, and if we
106
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.680
get you know, if we get around to it, if
107
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.720
there's time, I'll talk a little bit about the history
108
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:18.959
of that. But they offer online classes on esp and precognition,
109
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:27.839
ghost hunting, parapsychology, research, anthropology of parapsychology. They've got tons
110
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.759
of these classes that you can take online, and they
111
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.560
even have some certifications, so if you want like a
112
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.399
parapsychology certification or you know, I've I've taken their classes
113
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:45.360
on ghost hunting and parable tech and they're they're good.
114
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:51.439
They're good classes, they're very practicals. And one question that
115
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.439
I've gotten because I'm actually in the field of parapsychology,
116
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.120
and it's it's kind of a bad news. It's not
117
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.279
a bad news thing. Well there's kind of a little bit,
118
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.120
but I have people that will will message me and say,
119
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.319
how do I become a parapsychologist or how do I
120
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:15.759
get a degree in parapsychology. Unfortunately, right now, hopefully this
121
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.879
will change at some point, there is no college degree
122
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:26.000
in parapsychology. So parapsychologists that are around today, what they
123
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.639
have done is they've gotten college degrees, usually in something
124
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:37.159
like sociology, anthropology, psychology, and as kind of almost a
125
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.879
minor or an add on or something, they take parapsychology
126
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:50.320
courses kind of within their bigger field of study. In
127
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.840
the US, I don't think we have any any like
128
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.039
really major college programs that even incorporate that in the
129
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.919
UK though they do. My my friend Cal Cooper, I
130
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.200
don't know if he's going to listen to our little podcast.
131
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.159
I've invited him to do a video and he hasn't
132
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.639
gotten around to that. So Cal, if you're listening, you know,
133
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:22.440
I'm just please. He is a legit parapsychologist, and he
134
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:27.679
is also a professor at the University of Northampton in
135
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.000
the UK, And I keep wanting to save all my
136
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.840
pennies so I can go to the UK and visit
137
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.159
the University of Northampton and see their parapsychology lab and
138
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.080
visit with my buddy Cal in person. Yeah you want
139
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:47.000
to come along. Yeah, And they do legit like they've
140
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:53.399
got oh it's those like sensory deprivation tanks. Yeah, where
141
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.759
they're like lay people in the these like floaty pod
142
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.360
bath thing and I mean he's Cal's got pictures some
143
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.879
stuff on the social media and and do these experiments,
144
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.080
these these like psych psychic experiments and things. I mean,
145
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.559
so it's like legit.
146
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.759
That reminds me, don't don't come after us Netflix, But uh,
147
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.759
the the tank from Stranger Things.
148
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.080
Oh yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
149
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.000
That she goes in and to go into the like
150
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.159
the upside or upside down.
151
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:33.000
Yes, is that basically what it is? Yes, set, yes, yes, yeah.
152
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.759
I don't come after us Netflix. Did you use use
153
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.240
positive example?
154
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.279
You you you borrowed it from other people. But but
155
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.320
I mean, yeah, it's like cal has done little video
156
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.480
clips a little because he's on TikTok a lot little
157
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.960
video clips in the past of like he's standing there
158
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.200
outside the tank and his like wet suit and stuff
159
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.440
talking about Oh, I'm getting ready to get into the sensory.
160
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.039
It just I nerd out. I mean, it just looks
161
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.480
like the coolest thing the world. And I'm like, I
162
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.240
want your job. But he has a he's in their
163
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:12.440
psychology department. But they do have kind of almost it's
164
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:17.159
like a focus in parapsychology there. So they are one
165
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.720
of the few places in the University of Edinburgh in
166
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.639
Scotland as well, so the UK's kind of got it
167
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:27.240
going on when it comes to the parapsychological studies. The
168
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.919
two guys that I work with here, James Horan and
169
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:37.840
Brian Laithe we're independent researchers, but we're very heavily involved
170
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.600
in the field, and I don't I'm not a leader
171
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:47.759
in the field, but Jim or James and Brian they
172
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.879
are there. They're like two of the top parapsychologists in
173
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.799
the US. So I'm kind of like I'm not worthy,
174
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.600
you know, But
thank you guys, thank you for like
175
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:02.440
pulling me on board and and allowing me to work
176
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.240
with you and participate in studies with you. So but
177
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.720
back to the original question that I get often is that,
178
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.440
you know, how do I become a parapsychologist. You need
179
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.000
to start with another degree and maybe look for universities
180
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:27.600
abroad like Northampton or University of Edinburgh that can offer
181
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.559
you more. We just and it's so sad because Duke
182
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:34.639
University and like I said, Princeton had their pair program.
183
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.759
The US government had Projects Stargate because that was like
184
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.519
in the sixties, because we wanted to start we wanted
185
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.159
to like spy on the Soviets and they were They
186
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.679
recruited a bunch of people with these suppose psychic abilities
187
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.799
and to see if they could like use clairvoyance to
188
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.240
like there were psychic spies. And that program was eventually
189
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.000
scuttled because of officially, you know, they said, oh, the
190
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.559
results were inconclusive and they didn't find anything, and I'm like, oh, baloney,
191
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:12.759
I bet the real stuff is still classified. That's just
192
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:18.200
my but so yeah, I it would be nice if
193
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:23.759
we had more here in the US to do this
194
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.720
type of education, but we really don't, which is kind
195
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.440
of too bad.
196
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:34.320
Yeah, exadly, and I have done some research on that too.
197
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.200
It's I know a lot of places even finding things
198
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.039
in folkal or mythology, like those kind of like educations
199
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:47.080
even are very like if he got to go somewhere else,
200
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:52.759
it's the same scenario almost, which it's kind of hard.
201
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.919
That is kind of hard.
202
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.320
Well that's too bad too, because you look at folklore
203
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.360
and mythology and all of that, and I mean that's
204
00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.799
really kind of related in a way.
205
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.759
Yeah, it's I mean a lot of it is literature,
206
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.360
so and that's where a lot of people end up going,
207
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:13.120
is I mean, you look at British literature, Greek mythology,
208
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.639
it's all within like literally the literature side of stuff.
209
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.879
It's it's great, it's great. So I gotta be an
210
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:27.000
English person and uh tapey typey big use these big
211
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:27.679
words stuff.
212
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.320
I don't know. I mean, I like to read, but
213
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.639
I don't think I could ever be a literature major.
214
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.360
I mean because for all the really cool stuff you'd
215
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.720
get to read, you'd like have to read ten super
216
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:42.960
boring things.
217
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.759
Yeah.
218
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.399
I remember it hard. Yeah, it makes me think of
219
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.639
high school. We had to like read some of the classics.
220
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.320
Some of them were okay, some of them were okay,
221
00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:00.879
but some of them, like, oh, I can't even remember Steinbeck.
222
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.600
Forgive me Steinbeck fans out there, but he was like
223
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.080
so extremely boring. I could not even. I could not even.
224
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.360
It's rough. Yeah, but.
225
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:20.919
That was a little tangent there, but so, yeah, anomalous experiences.
226
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.840
I found a couple of other little trivia things here.
227
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:30.679
The term ESP wasn't coined until the nineteen thirties. The
228
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:38.759
word parapsychology literally means beside psychology. Thousands of laboratory side
229
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.559
experiments have been conducted over nearly a century. In the
230
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:47.399
US government has funded remote viewing research for more than
231
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:53.159
twenty years. And that's the other thing. I did get
232
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.799
a chance to go to the Rhine Research Center, which
233
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.200
used to be the Duke Parapsychology lab. This is a
234
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:05.080
few years back, and that was really cool because I
235
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:10.080
got to go up to their upstairs library, which was
236
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.720
all the studies. I mean, it's a legit. It's small,
237
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.519
but it's a legit library of all of these rigorous
238
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:29.399
scientific studies done by psychologists and parapsychologists that provide scientific
239
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.399
evidence that psychic abilities are real. And so, you know,
240
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.120
people are like, you know, they kind of poohoo it,
241
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.159
you know, and I'm like, well, you know what, go
242
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.039
to this place, go to this library, and you can
243
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.639
like spend probably a couple of days there reading all
244
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:52.360
these scientific studies from legit scientists on
these abilities.
245
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.480
I need Georgina to come back seeing it. Georgina, it
246
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.600
came back to me, Nada. If you want to know
247
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.799
when we're talking about, uh, go listen to the last episode.
248
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.599
If it's in there, it is.
249
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.000
Yeah.
250
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.839
Oh yeah, last episode was really good. Georgina talked to
251
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.079
us about history and how important that is.
252
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:21.799
To I will send Cindy the audio Clupe. Yeah conversation,
253
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:23.440
so it.
254
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.960
Yes, that was really good. She's so so good at
255
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.680
that that history. But yeah, I'm like looking on my
256
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.079
little notty notes here. Oh, I didn't think this was
257
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:46.799
important on parapsychology. It's it's working from the assumption. You know,
258
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:52.000
we don't assume our parapsychologists don't assume. Unfortunately a lot
259
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.319
of ghost hunters do assume this, but parapsychologists don't assume
260
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.799
that goes surreal. What they do is they just can
261
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.839
we measure it? What happened here? Or what are possible explanations.
262
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:14.079
So they're very much looking at the scientific side of stuff.
263
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.519
It's like they're not coming in with these preconceived notions,
264
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.559
Oh my gosh, this house is haunted or this is
265
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:25.880
the ghost of some lady or some child or whatever
266
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:31.799
it is. They just go in as objective as possible.
267
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.640
Yeah, I would say, because I found that in my
268
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:39.240
research too. They do a lot of debunking m in
269
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:47.279
short terms, which I thoroughly enjoy, because that's how our
270
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.880
group goes in. We uh not again, not all ghost
271
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.119
groups ghost hunters will do that. They will, like you said,
272
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.359
definitely assume that's what it is. It's oh, it's the ghost.
273
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.039
Whereas if you you go in it's definitely like, hey,
274
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.799
let's how is a way we can debunk this because,
275
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:13.000
like you said, parapsychology is very scientific. We've got to
276
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.119
use our instruments, we got.
277
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.160
To do this, We've got to do that. Ye, there's
278
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.519
protocols and India basically haunt what's called haunt phenomena, which
279
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.880
is all the ghosty stuff is under the umbrella of parapsychology,
280
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:34.079
and parapsychology is a field of academic study. Like I said,
281
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.519
I'm the I've mentioned this before, but I'm the managing
282
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.400
editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, which is one
283
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:46.279
of the parapsycho They're not strictly parapsychology, but we publish
284
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:51.240
a lot of parapsychological research. So yeah, there's this is
285
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:57.039
a legit academic field of study with legit academic journals
286
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.720
and scientists doing studies and re research and publishing this
287
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.799
this stuff. And there's kind of that divide between, you know,
288
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.640
the parapsychologists and the ghost hunters. And that's why when
289
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.480
I like talk to people to like guests speaking and stuff,
290
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.640
I say, I always say, I've got to put in
291
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.599
two worlds. I've got to put in the parapsychology research
292
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.000
side of it, but I've also got to put in
293
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.079
the ghost had inside of it? And so which was
294
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:33.720
another thing. I opened up two the socials and I asked.
295
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.119
I did I'm going I did see that. I was like, Okay,
296
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:39.759
I love this idea, and so I was keeping up
297
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.000
with it.
298
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.720
Yeah. Well I got a couple of pretty good responses.
299
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:49.440
Basically what I did is I just posted and said, Hey, parapsychologists,
300
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.880
what do you want ghost hunters to know? And Hey
301
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:58.640
ghost hunters, what do you want to know about parapsychology?
302
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.319
You know, kind of trying to get people talking across
303
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:08.680
and a researcher piped up and he said, people should
304
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.400
know this is the research side of it, and I thought,
305
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.119
this is so true. People should know. It's very little
306
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.640
like Ghostbusters or some horror movie. Ideally, we use similar
307
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:25.240
and boring research methods to many other fields of science,
308
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:31.599
both qualitative and quantitative, and like all other fields, each experiment, study,
309
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.960
field visit moves the needle just a little. And I thought,
310
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.839
that is like spot on, that is the most.
311
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.279
Accurate thing I've ever heard.
312
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:47.000
Yeah, because it's not. It's not like the TV shows.
313
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.519
It's really not.
And the reality is is we are
314
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:59.039
performing research and it's just like any other scientific thing.
315
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.279
Like the whole unit of flatter earth thor is it around.
316
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.799
We're just trying to conduct a research and to move what,
317
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.319
like he said, move the needle, just the slightest bitch
318
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:16.519
in one direction. Yeah, but that's all we're doing. And
319
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:21.960
it takes fortunately, it takes a lot to move that needle.
320
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.319
It takes a loss.
321
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:28.160
It does. And yeah, it really does. And and basically
322
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.720
what we're doing is field work. You know, if we're
323
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.680
going to science, it up a bit that we're doing
324
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:41.440
field research, which is a type of qualitative research. The
325
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.960
quantitative is more along the lines of the laboratory studies
326
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.480
because you can control all these variables and you can
327
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.559
get people tests and you know, and and all this stuff.
328
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.000
You know, do the deprivation tanks, you know. I'm I'm
329
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.759
sure they're doing all kinds of quantitative studies with my
330
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:01.559
friend cal floating around and there in the egg. But
331
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:10.039
when it comes to what's called spontaneous cases, that's exactly
332
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.440
what we're doing. Those are the ghosts that show up
333
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:16.680
in the haunted places. Well, you can't do lab studies
334
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:20.000
without it's like no, that's just no. And you can't
335
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.960
control for variables. I mean, it shows up where it
336
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.799
shows up. So you have to kind of work on
337
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.880
the fly and do the best you can to at
338
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.119
least have a plan in place of what kind of
339
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.720
data am I going to collect? How am I going
340
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:40.000
to collect it, how am I going to store it?
341
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.880
You know, we can look for patterns, we can look
342
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:48.400
for anomalies, you know, all of that, and we can
343
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.599
interview witnesses or give them surveys which is more quantitative,
344
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.000
give them like a transliminality survey or a paranormal belief
345
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:01.839
survey or a survey of strange events, which can add
346
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.359
to what we're doing. But you know, ghosts show up
347
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.599
when they show up, and this kind of activity shows
348
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.720
up when they show up. So yeah, you just as
349
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.400
rigorously and responsible as you can. You just collect data
350
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.599
and then build up a bank of data and see
351
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:24.079
if you start noticing patterns and saying, oh gee, I'm
352
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.200
thinking this or that, and that takes yeah, like moving
353
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.880
the needles just a little, It takes a lot of time. Yes,
354
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.960
and a ghost a couple of ghost hunters, they responded,
355
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.079
So that was the researcher, and so the ghost the
356
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.720
one ghost hunter. He says, my biggest question when a
357
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.200
ghost hunter gets a hold of an intelligent quote unquote
358
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.119
being why are all the questions wasted on the standard
359
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.240
who are you? And what do you want? Instead of
360
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:57.359
asking about their current state? Honestly, how much further advanced
361
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.000
have we become since the start of the study of ghosts?
362
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.640
But it still seems like we don't have any more
363
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:12.119
answers than the beginning. And I wrote him back, and
364
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:16.079
I said, in the in the paranormal community, in the
365
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.920
ghost hunting community in general, I said, I think the
366
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.039
reason why it seems like we aren't getting those answers
367
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.359
that we want is a lot of ghost hunting groups
368
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.079
are just going in making those assumptions. They're already assuming
369
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.440
it's the ghost of the owner of the house, or
370
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.720
it's demonic, or it's they've already come to the conclusion
371
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.359
of we are are and that's that's where they go
372
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.279
with their investigating. It's kind of like, well, what are
373
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.000
we going to do? We're going to go in And
374
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:51.559
I said, and this when I told him this too,
375
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.000
As I said, what happens is is they primarily go
376
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.279
in thinking, Okay, there's the ghost of a little girl
377
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.200
in here, so what's our game plan? Well, we're going
378
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.000
to bring some toys, and we're going to bring our
379
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.200
recorders and our phones and some dowsing rods and and
380
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:08.960
we're going to communicate with a little girl to find
381
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.480
out who she is. That's not scientific.
382
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:12.400
It's fun.
383
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.160
It's
fun, and I mean you might get some good information,
384
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.440
you might not. But that's spiritism, which has been around
385
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.079
since the eighteen hundreds. It's like spirit communication has been
386
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.920
around probably longer than that. Well it has, yeah, but
387
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:35.000
that is used. And yes, spirit communication methods, No, they
388
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:40.039
haven't changed in centuries. And we really aren't finding. That's
389
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:44.240
not moving the science needle forward.
390
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:50.160
I mean with ghost hunting you're almost working backwards. And
391
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:55.519
it does go to the filled research we and again
392
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.440
this is where someone like Georgina comes in so much
393
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:06.240
help knowledge history, because knowing the history helps to guide
394
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.319
your filled research as a ghost hunter. Knowing if there
395
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.000
is a little girl, Yes, having those toys, having the
396
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.200
dowsing girls would be helpful in case that little girl
397
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.079
is there, but that doesn't mean she is exact. It
398
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.359
just might help. It's almost like fishing. It is you
399
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:30.720
have certain bait to get certain fish that bait. The
400
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.640
toys and everything, Yes, is there to help the little
401
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:36.920
girl come out, but there's no guarantee that they will.
402
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.079
She she's gonna be there. It could be an adult
403
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.400
spirit that you know. I mean, just like there are
404
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.920
evil people, there could be evil spirits that or that
405
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.079
was an evil person in life that could be pretending
406
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.319
to be this little girl. So it's it's one of
407
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.359
those things that you have to hope for the best,
408
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.839
expect the worst kind of thing. It's like, you know,
409
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.799
it's this person could be evil and just pretending to
410
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.240
be the little girl, and then you realize you can't
411
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.720
just assume it's the little girl.
412
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.680
No, No, that's no. And that's a really excellent point.
413
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.759
And I mean, I'm and I'm not saying that there
414
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.400
aren't spirits that we communicate with or that we can't
415
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.680
communicate with. It's just I think there's not enough groups
416
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.799
out there that are saying, is this even a spirit
417
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.240
at all? Could it be
something that we haven't even
418
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:38.519
thought of yet? And it's like, yeah, open your mind
419
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:43.039
to you know, maybe there's something some kind of energy
420
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:48.240
we haven't identified yet. Maybe it's something like an alternate universe,
421
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:54.359
or maybe it's you know, something we're manipulating the environment
422
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:58.960
somehow through telekinesis or you know. And I think there's
423
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:03.480
a lot of groups that get really focused on this
424
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.240
is exactly what it is. You know, this is a
425
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:09.400
spirit and we're going to try to communicate with it.
426
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:13.519
And I don't have a problem with that, But don't
427
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:19.240
only do that, you know, look, explore a little more
428
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:23.599
and maybe consider that you're not dealing with a spirit
429
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.880
at all. You might be dealing with some natural phenomenon
430
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.519
that we just don't know what it is yet.
431
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:35.640
It could even boil down to poulterg ice, which we've
432
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:38.480
talked about. You know, it could be the person that's
433
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.359
living there that's creating this energy. So maybe you know
434
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.559
it like you're saying, probably just doesn't exist. We're just
435
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:51.079
assuming it does. And there's just no guarantee.
436
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.079
No, there's so much we just don't know. Yeah, I
437
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.000
get it. But yeah, and then oh this is the
438
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.799
last ghost hunter. I thought this was good, he says.
439
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:04.640
For the most part, I feel like parapsychology is a
440
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:09.599
great tool for debunking, like you just said, explaining paradoilia,
441
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.599
matrix scene, et cetera. But it is also useful in
442
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:17.680
seeing rationale for why a haunting occurs, you know, why
443
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.880
is this happening? What's going on? You know, just asking
444
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.640
those big questions. So I thought those were pretty good.
445
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:29.960
Those were pretty good. But yeah, yeah, I'm trying to
446
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.359
think of anything else. I just totally train of thought.
447
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.599
I mean, it's just this is such a broad topic too,
448
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.960
but you know, because it's so interesting when you tie
449
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:47.720
it to ghost hunting, because something like telechelesis falls into parapsychology,
450
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:54.519
psychic mediums, parapsychology, those are all tools that as a
451
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:56.440
ghost hunter you can utilize.
452
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.559
Absolutely to what we're talking about this, Yeah, it's.
453
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:06.319
I mean, like you said, Stargate, that whole thing, the tanks,
454
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.440
it's just stuff that we it's utilizing what we can,
455
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.440
where we can, how we can. And we talk about
456
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.119
Robbie like Robbie is amazing, He's fantastic, and just you
457
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.759
give him something or even just a picture and he's like,
458
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:26.599
oh yep, yeah got it.
459
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.920
Psychic abilities are are real, and I mean, and there's
460
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.839
been some really famous psychic people throughout history and once
461
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.640
the parapsychologists get ahold of them, d D. If you
462
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.119
ever want to find out about a really cool one
463
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:43.559
is d d home, and he was like, I can't remember,
464
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.039
like back in the thirties. Anyway, the Ryan's at the
465
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:50.240
Duke Parapsychology Lab studied him. But I mean, yeah, there's
466
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.440
psychic mediums out there that will just blow your mind
467
00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:01.319
with stuff that they can pick up psychically and in labs.
468
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.400
I mean they tested him in laboratory experiments and he
469
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.720
passed laboratory experiments over and over and over again. So
470
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.559
it's kind of like all this replication going on because
471
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.799
there's this really extraordinary psychic person. So it's it's real.
472
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:19.640
If people tell me our psychic abilities aren't real, I like, huh,
473
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.960
there's one hundred and fifty years of scientific research at
474
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.240
major universities that tell you you're law.
475
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.640
Yeah, And I do want to say just because of
476
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.680
psychic abilities, I know this can be a whole other topic,
477
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:38.839
which we've talked about before with Robbie. But some psychic
478
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.920
abilities vary. Some people get them in visions, some people
479
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:49.319
almost thoughts, some get on in dreams, which I have happened.
480
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.720
It's happened to me. So it's just it depends on
481
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.960
your state of mind and how easily you can almost
482
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:03.759
go in that like because it's almost clearing your mind.
483
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.279
You're just.
484
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.160
Like, it's like staring at a wall for hours almost.
485
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:13.039
And some
people like Robbie is just easier, a lot
486
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.880
easier for them to just be able to be like, oh,
487
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:18.680
stare at that wall for a second. Great, I got it.
488
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.519
Other people it's a lot easier when they're just sleeping
489
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.759
tickets them and be like, oh, that's what's going on.
490
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:33.319
And so there's different levels of even those psychic abilities.
491
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.000
And then you have telekinesis.
492
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.160
Yeah, moving stuck with your mind. I think that's amazing,
493
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.839
and that's where kind of the Poultereist activity seems to
494
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.240
come in. And yeah, one of the pair the one
495
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.599
of the parapsychology theories, the main one is RSPK reoccurreent
496
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:57.559
spontaneous psychoicesis a long words that basically, it's been the
497
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.440
belief for a long time that somebody like understrike or
498
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:05.519
something will accidentally or in you know, they don't know
499
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.440
that they're like manipulating things in the environment, you know,
500
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:12.440
moving things with their mind. But that since been called
501
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.239
in the field of parapsychology, the carry myth. If you've
502
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.360
watched the movie Care, have you seen the movie Carrey. Yeah,
503
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:22.440
I think we'll everybody has. Yeah, we've got like telekinesis
504
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:27.679
on steroids here with Carrie. And what they're finding in
505
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.639
this is another reason the scientific study is great, is
506
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:35.360
they were finding that Nope, we can't say that that's
507
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:41.239
always the case, that this poltergeist activity is caused by
508
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:48.079
somebody unconsciously blowing off steam. In fact, I was just
509
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:54.079
reading through a paper this last week by the colleagues
510
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:56.000
that I work with, and they're going to add me
511
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:58.679
as an author, so I'm pretty happy about that. But
512
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:03.239
it's there now, looking at and it's going to be
513
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.199
published in a parapsychology journal. I don't know which one.
514
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:12.760
But they're looking at and saying, Okay, we're not so
515
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:18.519
sure anymore that haunt activity and poultrygeist activity aren't the
516
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:25.119
same thing. Just it varies by intensity. If it's there,
517
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.960
they're kind of relooking at all of this and saying,
518
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.760
we're thinking it's just kind of a spectrum. And because
519
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:36.800
it's always been oh, poultrygeist activity is somebody blowing off steam.
520
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:41.639
That's completely different than like an apparition or a repetitive
521
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:45.480
haunt or something like that. But now they're finding. No,
522
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.639
you know what, these all have some common threads, and
523
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:54.199
we're thinking maybe here at the low end, you know,
524
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.960
we're just going to see shadow people and apparitions and things.
525
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.440
And at the extreme end, you know, there's gonna be
526
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.480
stuff flying around room, you know whatever. So I thought
527
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.840
that was really interesting. So there's still really looking grappling
528
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.360
with this. They don't know.
529
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:14.400
I have even seen in some studies that I've done
530
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:21.360
some research that poultry geist entities at some point, at
531
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:27.079
some level, will gain their own consciousness, their own dot process.
532
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.960
It seems like it in some of the cases.
533
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:34.199
Yeah, and it's because the quote unquote living agent that
534
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:40.360
created it puts so much energy into it that it
535
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:46.760
the entity itself, has become its own processes its own
536
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:50.760
energy to where it's no longer needs the living agent
537
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.400
to depend on so it can manifest and do whatever
538
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.519
it wants. And at that point, you too, At some
539
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.480
point you can get an actual haunting from a pole. Guys,
540
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:07.039
exactly enough energy feed it.
541
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.000
We gotta see. I mean, those are the types of
542
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:15.960
things that parapsychologists can present to the ghost hunting community.
543
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:19.400
And that's kind of my big thing is it's like, gosh,
544
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:21.920
there's all this research out there, and we have this,
545
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:27.039
we have thousands of ghost hunters just here in the
546
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.559
US that a lot of them are just operating off
547
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:35.440
of these old kind of mythological, folkloric type ideas of
548
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.159
what they're dealing with. When you've got all these these
549
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.000
science see people over here that have done all these studies,
550
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:45.880
and it's like, you know, let's let's jump ghost hunting community,
551
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:48.760
let's jump the tracks a little more. You know, let's
552
00:37:48.880 -->
00:37:51.960
let's maybe look at some of the science. And and that's
553
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:57.119
a perfect example where yeah, it's kind of like, okay,
554
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.000
maybe it started. Maybe it started with somebody in there
555
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:03.519
head and they're blowing off steam and then lo and behold,
556
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:09.079
they created a ghost, Yeah, that has its own will
557
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:14.280
and volition and can yeah, operate independently from the person
558
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:18.119
and who knows, maybe be so independent that even if
559
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.639
the person leaves, it'll still stick around and other people
560
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.320
will experience it. You know. That's kind of that haunted
561
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:25.840
people syndromething.
562
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:26.079
That we talk about.
563
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:29.920
Yeah, with the right person and the right place and
564
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.000
the right time, yeah, you know, interacting with the creepy
565
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:42.320
environment and creating some haunted something. You know, it's like
566
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.639
just I don't know, think outside the box a little.
567
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:50.480
And I think also it's just being open to other
568
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:57.480
ideologies as a ghost hunter because you really don't know
569
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:02.360
what you're dealing with. You don't know because every person,
570
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:05.039
and this goes back to religion, is going to have
571
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.280
their own belief system.
572
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:07.840
Yeah, so you.
573
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:11.559
Never really know. So as a ghost hunter, you do
574
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:16.960
have to be open to hearing other people's beliefs and
575
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:21.360
what they think and how they view the world because
576
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:26.119
it could be very different from you. And so that's
577
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:30.719
where other entities or things can come in and how
578
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.360
parapsychology can play into. It's how is this person's beliefs
579
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.480
affecting the environment around them?
580
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.599
Absolutely, let alone the.
581
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.039
Energy or the ghosts that are around them.
582
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.320
Spot on because they are able. Oh my gosh, that
583
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:47.599
is so spot on. Because yeah, you get the parapsychologists
584
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:49.199
in there, they're going to be able to evaluate that
585
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.920
person psychologically as well as they are going to have
586
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:58.280
ways to find out, you know, that person's belief system
587
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.960
and whether and their belief system on the parent role.
588
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:06.679
You know, like I said before we started, I have
589
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:09.559
a friend that you know, has humored me in the
590
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.639
past and gone on ghost tons with me, And I said, hey,
591
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:14.360
by the way, you know, do you believe in ghosts?
592
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:19.480
You can be honest, you know they won't hurt my feelings, like, no,
593
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.440
they don't exist. I just go on the ghost tons
594
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:27.280
for entertainment purposes only. And I said, oh, you just
595
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.320
like to see watching people get spooked or spook themselves,
596
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:33.280
you know, and so But I mean, I love skeptics.
597
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:34.559
Skeptics are great.
598
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:40.119
Hey, hey, listen, listen, because I know who you are. Yeah,
599
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.440
you haven't been on one with both of us yet.
600
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:47.239
Okay, right, that's right. We might have to. We might
601
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:52.079
have to Karrelian one last time. Get Jai out there
602
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.400
and get she experiencing something.
603
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.239
I will say, like you said, skeptics are my favorites
604
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:04.679
because genuinely they come in with such I don't know
605
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:06.800
if you say it open mind, closed mind.
606
00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:12.920
They're very definitive. They're very no, absolutely not.
607
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:17.360
It's almost like a mix. They're like they're so open
608
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:18.920
minded that they're closed.
609
00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:21.679
Minded kind of yeah, And it's like.
610
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:28.000
But I love them because they they want to debunk everything.
611
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:32.719
They will find any and every reason if it's a
612
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:34.519
little drop, and they'll be like, oh, it was your
613
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.280
phone a little but your phone like, I see you
614
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.519
got a text message. It's like my phone's on silence.
615
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.719
Try again, Yeah, try again.
616
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.880
Well you know what I yeah, And I tell skeptics this,
617
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.519
and you know, I will probably remind my friend of
618
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:59.239
this as well in private that yeah, that you know what,
619
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.840
I to tell them all this. You put yourself in
620
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:08.960
enough weird places, weird stuff's going to happen, weird unexplained stuff.
621
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:14.079
I guarantee you. I mean, you're guarantee.
622
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:18.760
You're intentionally but also unintentionally opening yourself up to that.
623
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:25.840
So by putting yourself in
that situation, and even with
624
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.639
this person, they have done it just once. Just once
625
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:33.599
is all it takes for the spirits around you to
626
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.159
be like, hey, so and so is here, let's go
627
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:42.840
with them, because your energy could be just right to
628
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:46.480
where the spirits want to go with you. And that's where,
629
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:49.519
you know, even parapsychology comes in. It's like, how come
630
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:56.760
they attached to a skeptic someone who's like doesn't really
631
00:42:56.800 --> 00:43:00.559
acknowledge that they exist, but then they still gotten attachment
632
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.199
mm hmm. So it's it makes for more studying and
633
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.360
more research and more questions to be.
634
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:11.239
Brought up, lots of questions, and I mean, yeah, and
635
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:14.519
I find that the skeptics a lot of times, deep
636
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:18.000
down they're not as skeptical as they claim. There's I'm
637
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:20.679
not saying there's a lot of bluff in there, but
638
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:22.960
there's some bluff in there.
639
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:28.519
Usually usually, I mean it's someone that's been doing this,
640
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:31.079
even out of our group the shortest amount of time,
641
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:36.519
but but so long time. Yeah, it's it brings questions
642
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.440
up in me. It's like, why are you doing this?
643
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.440
Why are you here? Are you really a skeptic? I
644
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:43.360
don't think you are.
645
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:45.280
If you're here, you're interested.
646
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:48.159
Yeah, It's like the interest is in there, it's there,
647
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:52.280
trust me. Yeah, but you say it's not there.
648
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:55.800
And I'm wanting that's a really good point. What are
649
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:56.519
you doing here?
650
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:00.519
Are you here? Are you here just now?
651
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:01.880
Is this just a hangout?
652
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:02.320
Is it?
653
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:07.119
What is your the laughing point? I mean, I've playing
654
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:13.480
out with it crazy. That's an excellent question. Yeah, it's
655
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:16.400
so funny because yeah, I remember doing the Doctor pepperteurs
656
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:19.800
and getting skeptics on the Doctor Pepperteers and it's like, now, granted,
657
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.239
in fairness, they probably had family members that were dragging
658
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:25.679
them there, you know, on a family vacation or something.
659
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.159
But still they were there. They could have stayed back
660
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:31.719
at the hotel room. You know, they didn't have to
661
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:32.079
be there.
662
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:36.239
I mean, and it's funny because I've brought this up before.
663
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.840
You see a lot of people with law enforcement background,
664
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:48.000
military background that have a higher chance of being skeptics.
665
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.679
And again, I live it personally with my dad.
666
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.639
I was gonna say, you know, from personal experience, this
667
00:44:54.760 --> 00:45:00.920
particular population that are very, very drawn, Yeah, to the paranormal.
668
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:05.239
And it's genuinely funny because my dad, he'll come with
669
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.440
me and I mean, we've done a ghost walk in
670
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:13.199
San Antonio. He's trying to look at all the Oh, well,
671
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:18.519
there's a reflection here, there's no just stop shut up,
672
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:23.679
you know just as well as I do. There is
673
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:27.480
no reflection. That road is a potentialan road they haven't
674
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.199
closed off.
675
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:29.559
We headlights.
676
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:34.280
Yeah, and it's funny, But skeptics genuinely are my favorite.
677
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:36.719
Me too, Oh I love them, I love you. We
678
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:39.800
should just do an episode on skeptics. I mean, we
679
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:43.440
have a whole panel of skeptics. That would be fun,
680
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:47.679
that'd be really fun. It's like, come on, come at us, the.
681
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.760
Friend that shall not be named, and then my dad,
682
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:53.960
Oh that.
683
00:45:53.920 --> 00:46:00.800
Would be that would be sparkly and spicy. Okay, yeah,
684
00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:04.480
all right, future episode idea. I like it. We can
685
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:05.119
get them on.
686
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:06.000
Look at us.
687
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:11.960
Go You're like, no, wow, it's a waste of time. Okay,
688
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:16.039
I'm done picking up the skeptics. I will say, though, yeah.
689
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:18.360
I will. You're our favorite skeptic.
690
00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:24.880
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're yeah, so good stuff good. But
691
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:27.159
I'm looking at my notes here. Probably should let you
692
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:28.880
move on a little bit. Oh yeah, probably should be
693
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:32.239
move on a little bit. Just a couple of like
694
00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.639
other things that I found that I thought was kind
695
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:37.920
of fun, And I want to put this out there,
696
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:41.039
especially for the ghost onding community, because we've been talking
697
00:46:41.079 -->
00:46:43.360
a lot about Hey, you know, there's a lot of
698
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.639
good research out there. Blah blah blah. The Society for
699
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:56.079
Psychical Research is the oldest parapsychological organization in the world.
700
00:46:56.079 --> 00:47:00.159
It was founded in January of eighteen eighty two, you
701
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:07.360
in London, by a bunch of scholars and basically that
702
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:11.199
was right around the time of spiritualism and psychics and
703
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.039
mediums and communication with the dead. It was like really
704
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:18.880
having a day, and they started saying, well, can we
705
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:24.639
investigate this scientifically and started also looking at fraud because
706
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.039
and they were doing this in the US as well
707
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:30.599
a little bit later at the Duke Parapsychology Lab JB
708
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:36.840
and Louisa Ryan and William I think it's William McDougal. Yeah,
709
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.519
they were all part of that around that same time,
710
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:43.840
looking at that because it was post I think I
711
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:46.800
mentioned this before, it was post Civil War, and you
712
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:51.400
had all of these people that were looking to contact
713
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.559
their loved ones and stuff. And so similarly in time,
714
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.280
the Society for Psychical Research, which is in Britain or
715
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.800
in the UK, they were all these scientists starting to go,
716
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.639
let's take a look at this because there's a lot
717
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:05.760
of fraudulent people out there that are taking a lot
718
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.320
of people's money, who are very vulnerable and they're grieving.
719
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:15.639
And what they found in the process of that was,
720
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:20.000
wait a minute, not everybody's a fraud. Oh my gosh,
721
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:25.760
there's some people that have actual abilities. And it just
722
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:29.719
kind of took off from there. The Society for Psychical
723
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:33.320
Research is still very active. If you go look that up,
724
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:36.280
you can google it, you can become a member. They
725
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:41.719
have scholarly journals, they are on the socials, and so
726
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:44.440
it's a really good place to start if you want
727
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:49.400
to look at the kind of the scientific parapsychology side
728
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.159
of it. But there have been people that have been interested,
729
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:56.519
like super duper brilliant, famous people that have been interested
730
00:48:56.559 --> 00:49:01.000
in this forever, like Nikola Tesla One I really loved.
731
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:08.360
Thomas Edison created a ghost machine or spirit phone in
732
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.519
the early nineteen twenties, and what it was, I thought
733
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:15.559
this was really interesting. He took a lamp, what he
734
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.519
thought was a very powerful lamp that cast a tiny
735
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:23.320
little beam almost kind of like a laser beam, but
736
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:25.559
not not a laser beam, but kind of like that
737
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:30.679
onto a photoelectric cell, and any passing spirit, you know,
738
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:33.119
could like disrupt the beam, kind of like what we
739
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:37.559
do with laser grids, same concept, except he took it
740
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:41.679
one step further and he made it so that if
741
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:45.800
the spirit broke the beam, it would register on an
742
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.480
electronic meter. So it's kind of a combination laser grid
743
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:54.039
EMF meter that he created. And I mean, I've never
744
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:56.280
seen a prototype of this or anything, but I thought
745
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:00.559
it was just like the coolest thing so yeah, I thought, where.
746
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.519
Don't you find an engineer that can do that?
747
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.719
I know, wouldn't that be cool? It's like, oh, yeah,
748
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:10.239
something crossed the beam. And now it's like I got
749
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:11.519
an EMF hit on it.
750
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:13.480
Found us a new field study.
751
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.760
Yeah, good stuff. But I thought that was just like
752
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:22.039
it's like, yeah, so people like that were really interested
753
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:27.480
in this, And of course, yeah, I've talked a lot
754
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:31.480
about Oh, I wanted to mention this. The scientific method
755
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:35.599
is a method, it's not science is not a thing.
756
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.320
I think of COVID and people were like, I followed
757
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:41.239
the science. Well, if you pressed them on that, they
758
00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:44.639
were more of I follow the scientists whatever scientist was
759
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.480
telling them whatever they wanted to hear. That's what they
760
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:50.199
meant by I follow the science. But the scientific method
761
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:52.840
is just a method of inquiry. It's just kind of
762
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:56.880
doing that field work collecting data or doing laboratory work,
763
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:03.719
rigorously collecting data, testing hypotheses, is analyzing that data, you know,
764
00:51:03.880 --> 00:51:07.480
in this very scientifically rigorous framework. And it's been around
765
00:51:07.480 -->
00:51:11.079
since the seventeen hundreds and it still works pretty good. Yeah,
766
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:13.280
I mean we talk about it.
767
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:20.320
Yeah, for ghost hunting and our purposes, people place time yeah,
768
00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:23.039
you know, and that's kind of like our method is
769
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:26.280
scientific methods. You have to have the right person, right place,
770
00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:27.440
right time.
771
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:32.119
And that's within scientific theory of of hanted people syndrome,
772
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.440
which I yes, I'm very biased because I work with
773
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.440
the people that created it, but still I think it's
774
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.199
a pretty pretty intriguing theory. It kind of accounts for
775
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.599
everything the people in the environment, the environment itself, and
776
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:49.079
the interaction between the two. I think it's I think
777
00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:49.920
they're onto something.
778
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:53.440
Yeah, And I mean the best example that I could give,
779
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:58.000
which we've talked about, is the Liberty Hotel and Clayburne
780
00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:01.599
when we had that experience and we put two and
781
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:04.880
two together with that one specific hotel room, why we
782
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:06.400
weren't getting any communication?
783
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:11.400
Remember, that was fascinating. So it's gracest ghost.
784
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:15.679
So it's like we've talked about it in previous episodes,
785
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:17.880
So if you want to know more about it, could
786
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:19.400
listen to the previous episodes.
787
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:21.880
Yeah, but that.
788
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:24.000
That's the best example is that I could give, is
789
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:27.320
how to utilize our scientific method.
790
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:30.719
It's like this this prumpy old man ghost that does
791
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:33.480
not like young beautiful Latina women.
792
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.679
Whose darn specific groups.
793
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:44.880
Yes, darn you. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, that is that's
794
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:49.519
such a good example. Yeah, but so yeah, and it is.
795
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:52.360
It's kind of that, you know, kind of going in
796
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:56.840
with a plan, gathering data and if we the ghost
797
00:52:56.920 --> 00:53:00.639
Dowding community can kind of some like get on the
798
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:05.159
same page and get away from I guess I'm gonna
799
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:09.559
say this, get away from the zach beganism, you know,
800
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:13.119
and actually do some data collection and maybe we could
801
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:18.360
share some results that with some good data, then then
802
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:22.480
I could tell my friend who posted on the socials, hey, look,
803
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.039
we're kind of starting to make a little bit of
804
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:25.719
progress here.
805
00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:29.519
I one of my biggest things is I do wish
806
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:32.880
more people in the paranormal feels, this includes all of it,
807
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:39.599
ghost hunters, parapsychology. If more teams could team up.
808
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:42.639
Together, yeah, to figure.
809
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:46.760
Out, like you have all these ghost hunters and parapsychologies,
810
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.079
and you know we talk about stuff like Emily Morgan
811
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:54.480
the ALM. Why can't we team up together, yeah, to
812
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:57.679
figure out because you know, we all do these like
813
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.679
what was there some ghost lime best the one team
814
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:06.679
that we Jefferson Hotel? Was it that one? We had
815
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:10.519
like different teams going whoever found the most evidence on
816
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:13.840
the whatever. It's like, but why can't we team up?
817
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:17.920
And it's like a team goes in, the next team
818
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:24.400
that goes in see if they match evidence, and then
819
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.639
it's like the evidence that one team finds. Once all
820
00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:35.000
the teams they almost rotate it share information, and then
821
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:38.360
now it's like, if it's our team, our group, we
822
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.960
get group one's information because we're grouped two. Our groups
823
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:45.719
information goes to group three and group three goes to one.
824
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:51.079
So then we're all using each other's findings.
825
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:56.599
To shareing and building a picture, a clearer, more accurate
826
00:54:56.679 --> 00:54:58.679
picture of what could be going on in that location.
827
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.199
It's brilliant because.
828
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.880
All under parapsychology, hey like, hey, like what happens when
829
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:08.760
you pull three different teams.
830
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:11.079
That could be a study.
831
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:17.360
I wish more good paranormal teams and psychologists and parapsychologists
832
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:21.119
would do that. I wish that was my what that
833
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:24.440
would probably be My one wish is like, hey, why
834
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:27.440
are we not teaming up with other teams, other people
835
00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:30.559
in the field to make this work out?
836
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:32.719
I think we should if we can, and I mean
837
00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:34.880
I think there would be some some teams that
would
838
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.760
be genuinely interested in that. Yeah, but there are also
839
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:40.320
some teams that well I just want to be an influencer,
840
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:42.360
or I just want to get a TV show, or
841
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.119
you know, there's or I just want to run around
842
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:46.880
and get scared or I mean.
843
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:53.679
Yeah, it's one thing I really enjoy is ghost Hunters.
844
00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:57.480
I mean you've had so many like from that one show.
845
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:02.119
You have Kindred Spirits, Amy and Adam that came from
846
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:07.159
that show that then pulled off and got their own stuff, but.
847
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:08.840
Then they still did pretty decent work.
848
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:12.719
Yeah, and they still pull in from like other shows,
849
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:15.719
and they get other like you know, they team up
850
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:20.199
with their friends, trusted people in that field. How are
851
00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:22.719
you supposed to know other trusted people if you don't
852
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:24.320
ever work with other teams?
853
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:26.239
Excellent point.
854
00:56:26.559 --> 00:56:29.360
So at one point, I mean that's how you kind
855
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:33.719
of grow your your your index, your.
856
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.360
Your data sharing, and your points of view. And different
857
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.400
people come with different ideas and different backgrounds and different
858
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:44.559
experiences and makes sense to me. There needs to be
859
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:48.199
maybe like an online database too, where everybody can share
860
00:56:48.239 --> 00:56:51.719
their information can draw from that. That would be nice.
861
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:54.840
Yeah, because I'm in and again we've talked about it this,
862
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:58.320
it's how else are some of these newbies supposed to
863
00:56:58.400 --> 00:56:59.480
come in and get.
864
00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:06.559
Exact trusted experience. Good point, because if, like I said.
865
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:10.760
I got lucky, I got lucky. Not everyone's as lucky
866
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:15.239
as I am, but we're lucky to have. It's like,
867
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:17.960
what are some of these neopies? I sit there and
868
00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:20.280
look at them, like how some of these neobies coming in?
869
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:23.159
What are they thinking? What do they know? What they
870
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:24.360
don't know? What do they want to know?
871
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:30.320
Otherwise they just have the you know, certain TV shows
872
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:31.559
to base it off of.
873
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:34.320
And oh, y'all, if you're a newbie out there listening
874
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:36.679
to this, the TV shows don't. Don't base things off
875
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:38.639
the TV shows don't do it.
876
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.960
So that's why I'm like, it'd be fun to research that.
877
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:46.440
Part of it. That would be And that's that's that's
878
00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:50.719
just a really practical thing to want to work together
879
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:53.920
and collaborate. And I mean, I think that's I think
880
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:57.599
that's probably the way to move things forward.
881
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.320
I don't move the needle, right, you gotta move don't
882
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:03.000
just a little bit a little.
883
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:06.920
But oh, I should probably wrap up. I did want to.
884
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:10.039
I wanted to make one final point, and we've I
885
00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:12.400
don't want to go way off on a tangent on this,
886
00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:16.440
there's lots of fun tech, lots of fun ghost hunting tech,
887
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:22.599
but none of the devices were designed, at least none
888
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:26.280
of the reputable devices were designed to detect ghosts. We
889
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.440
don't know what ghosts are yet. Okay, technically we do not.
890
00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:31.719
We have some ideas, and they may be right, they
891
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:36.199
may not be right. But most of our tools are
892
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:42.599
measuring the environment somehow, whether it's it's temperature or movement
893
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:50.159
or electricity or documenting things like photos, video audio. We
894
00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:54.119
aren't detecting ghosts, but we are detecting changes and anomalies
895
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:58.000
in the environment. But even doing that, just going in
896
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.280
and doing those types of things doesn't necessarily mean you're
897
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:05.639
doing a scientific study or you're doing research. Those are tools,
898
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:11.320
Those are scientific instruments you can use for research. But
899
00:59:12.360 --> 00:59:17.000
just because you're going into a building that you think
900
00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:20.000
is haunted with an EMF meter and running around and
901
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:23.760
taking you know, oh look it's the needles moving doesn't
902
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:27.400
make it a scientific study. So you know, use your
903
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.519
tech correctly. Yeah, that's a whole different episode that I
904
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:31.400
think we've already done.
905
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:38.760
Yes, yes, anything you want to add, Nope, Nope, let's.
906
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:40.400
Get those skeptics on there. That would be such a
907
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:41.440
spicy episode.
908
00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:42.880
Oh that would be so good.
909
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:48.519
Yeah, get my friend and get your dad. Maybe a
910
00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:54.880
couple more. We can find some yikes. That'd be awesome.
911
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:58.920
Yikes to ghost centers and a bunch of skeptics.
912
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:03.960
I'm for it. It'd be awesome. Get the psychics, Get
913
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.800
like two skeptics. That'd be fun. Get like two skeptics,
914
01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:12.599
two psychics, two ghost ounners. That'd be a fun episode.
915
01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:16.239
We're gonna have to do it. Oh, do a big
916
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:16.960
round table.
917
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:20.039
Okay, Robbie, you're coming back. We're getting a date and everything.
918
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:26.559
Uh mister skeptic friend person thing you're you're coming on?
919
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:30.199
Okay, okay talk Yeah, well we'll get it worked out.
920
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:34.800
Okay, thanks and dad, have fun my dad.
921
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:40.880
My dad wants to worry about, need to worry about.
922
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:42.239
You'll degory.
923
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:48.039
He'd be like, yeah, exactly, yeah, yes, convincing the skeptics.
924
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:51.960
We can tempt it with cookies or something. There will
925
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:52.599
be cookies.
926
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:57.800
Oh no, yeah, ghost cookies.
927
01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:04.840
Ghost cookies, yes, boberry opods. Oh okay, good sign you
928
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:07.559
