Happy Holidays!

During this busy holiday season I just wanted to take some time to write everyone and wish you all a happy holiday and happy new year! Please be safe and we will see you next year!

Virtual Reality

Everyone has pretty much heard of VR(Virtual Reality) from a movie, a technology trade-show, etc. For those that don't know, this is a computer-simulated environment that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds.

What makes this tech so special? Well, it is the latest and biggest thing to hit tech lately. you can now own your very own VR headset for as little as $20 if you have an update-to-date smartphone. That's right cadets, it's called Google Cardboard.

I have yet to try this new innovation(I ordered one a few days ago.), but the feedback from other users is astounding. Go ahead and check YouTube for "Google Cardboard reactions" and check it out for yourself.

There is even a bigger player in the VR market called Oculus Rift. that unit is still in development and may cost around $200 once it is released for commercial use. Here is a video of some of the people who have seen it in action:

I can not help but wonder what this kind of tech would do for paranormal investigating. Would be helpful? Or cause possibly cause issues for the field?

I think a bigger question would be this... What would our world be like after this has been released upon the public? Have we not turned into couch potatoes as it is? It may be a good time to start worrying about humanity and where we are heading... As if we didn't have enough reasons to do that already.

Alien Isolation - XBOX 360

Hello! Tis the season again for all things spooky and gross to make it's way back into our lives. I am talking about Halloween! Usually, I post which favorite movies I watch at this time of year, but this year, I am going to do a game review... ALIEN ISOLATION.

I have always been a fan of the Alien franchise. Some movies were pretty ridiculous, but Alien and Aliens to this day are in my top 100 films of all time... and I have seen a TON of movies.

You start off as Amanda Ripley that is in search of answers to her mom's disappearance, Ellen Ripley.  Once they establish the characters and the main goal of the game, you are pretty much up and running... literally.

Some of you may be thinking, "Video game? What good is that to me? I hate games!" Well, you need to understand, that this game is INCREDIBLY scary and gross. It was the perfect thing for me to do for the Halloween season. It left me jumping out of my chair and sent my heart racing on numerous occasions during gameplay.

The length of the game was pretty long in my opinion. I kept wondering when the game was going to end. It seemed like forever at times. Not that I was bored, more like it was spooky draining. Like I was tired of getting scared all the time. I needed to keep going to find out what happened to my character(Amanda Ripley. Ellen Ripley's daughter btw), like a really good book or movie. I needed to see the end through. Yeah. I finished the game. I do not want to ruin the end, but it was pretty cool.

If you are a fan of the Alien movies, this is a must play. It brings back the Alien as scary as he ever was in the original movie. You find yourself crouching and ducking around corners as the Alien hunts you down.

I give this game a 9 out of 10. Why? Because I like good scares and it seems as though the Alien is back on the hunt in full force with this game. If you do not have a heart condition and are looking for a freaked out good game, get it. Remember to shut your lights off before you play it... Until next time... BOO!

Eastern State Penitentiary September 2014 Event

We had the most amazing time at ESP this past weekend! We had a great crew of investigators that all conducted amazing investigations. Not only were we lucky with a major solar storm that was hitting the Earth at the time of the investigation, but we also got to go into locations that were never investigated before.

We went into Death Row, Cell Block 12, Cell Block 4, Kitchen/Bakery and a host of other places. We caught some really cool responses on audio and event captured some unique photo anomalies as well. We all have a ton of footage to go over, but I am confident we captured some amazing things that night, Stay tuned for more on our findings as they are revealed.

Special thanks to the crew at Eastern State Penitentiary for your professionalism and help during this investigation. Interested in going on a ghost hunt with us next time? Send us an email HERE.

What's up?

"What's up Chris? What's been going on lately?"

I get asked these questions a lot lately. Half of the time, I couldn't even answer them even if I wanted to. Today, however, I am going to try and give everyone a "down and dirty" on what has been happening in my crazy paranormal life.

1. EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY GHOST HUNT on Saturday, September 13th, 2014. Tickets are only $90 per person to investigate. Must be 18+ or older to attend and sign a liability waiver before the investigation. ALL TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE. ORDER YOUR TICKETS BY CLICKING HERE.
2. Filmed an all new episode of "Scream Paranormal Research investigates..." with the team at a great location in Pennsylvania. When it will be edited into an episode is anyone's guess. It is one of many projects on the table at this time.
3. Doing a few radio shows and client investigations. Nothing major to discuss at this time though.
4. I will be attending the PARANORMAL PORTAL on October 11th, 2014 with many other teams from the area. More to come on this at a later date.
5.  PARANORMAL DISNEY WORLD TRIP 2015 is set for September 11-13th, 2015. We have worked hard to get some amazing deals from Disney to make this a doable event for everyone. Payment plans are available. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.
6. We will be setting up a few meet and greets at haunted attractions in October if our schedule allows it. Please stay tuned for more on this at a later date.

"Hey dude, when you gonna be on TV again?"

This question is frustrating to answer. Why? Well.. there are so many things I would love to share with everyone, but can't due to non-disclosure agreements, time-frame, fizzled-out opportunities, etc. I don't normally discuss opportunities like this unless it has been scheduled to air on network TV.

The team and I were working with a producer from LA since October of last year on a ground-breaking new paranormal TV series. Supposedly, the show was bought and they were in "creative" working on episodes/show direction and such. We had network interest, but it looked like it may have fizzled-out. Not sure to be honest where it stood, but I have been in the business long enough to know that if it doesn't flow into something, it is dead and is time to move on.

So, with the idea of  "moving on" comes another possible opportunity...

A few weeks ago, me and a bunch of other paranormal nut jobs filmed with a great production team for a major production house. They put together what seems to be an outstanding project that I know everyone is going to love as much as I do. I am more confident in this project than any of the others I have ever worked on in the past. It has everything that a paranormal show needs. Fingers crossed it goes to network quickly so we can show you how frickin' AWESOME it truly is. Yes. This is for a TV series as well.

That's my update for now. Hope I was too long-winded... Phew! Thanks again for your support.

Death Wish Coffee Review

Life would be meaningless...

You see this black box above? Yeah. That is what some people think happens when you die. Atheists to be exact. They think then when you die, your entire world ends. That there is nothing left and you just stop existing all together. Kind of sad, huh?

I look at the idea of an afterlife with an uncertain view at times. I tend to think how meaningless life would be with out an afterlife. Sometimes I dream of a place to share what you have learned throughout your life, to reflect back upon your life, to see passed relatives, or even possibly start over in another life. The question is, what value is life if we just cease to exist?

I follow the rules of Law of Conservation of Mass first discovered in 1785 by Antoine Lavoisier which states:

 matter is neither created nor destroyed.

Even Albert Einstein announced his discovery of the equation E = mc² and, as a consequence, the two laws above were merged into the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy:

the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant.

Doesn't that mean that we would be foolish to think that a form of life does not exist after we die? I understand that ignorance is bliss, but how could a human being not understand the answers that are readily available through science. Mass = energy. Energy = mass. Only converted, never destroyed.

I have seen a great amount of credible evidence that proves to me life after death, yes. I have also seen many people joke about the idea, never entertaining the true paranormal. They create fake pictures, falsify findings, make up stories, poke fun at the idea, etc. For what? To try and score five minutes of fame? To ridicule something that they do not understand? For fear of the unknown? Please...

With the answers all around us, I find it hard to believe that people still don't see that the value of life as being more to it than what is shown on the outside. We all live our lives running around like squirrels trying to gather nuts year round. Never taking more time to discover, love and live.

FLIR E8 Review

FLIR. If you are a serious paranormal investigator, you have heard the name before. Great for detecting raccoons, cats, trespassers, anomalies, etc. Even some of the paranormal reality shows use FLIR thermal cams for investigating the unknown, but how does it stack up for practical investigations?

I had wanted FLIR to send me a thermal cam BEFORE the Pennhurst event back on March 15th. However, I received the unit the following day. Yeah. Was a bit bummed out. How cool would it have been to have it for Pennhurst State School?

I originally called FLIR for information on the new FLIR One unit that they are releasing in the near future. This new unit attaches to an iPhone 5 and can give some really great results for an extremely low price($350 retail?)

FLIR One

Now, I know what you might be thinking... "Chris, you always say to keep your cell phone turned off during investigations!" True. You can do 1 of 2 things here:

1. Use a FLIR One before you start your initial investigation.
2. Put your phone in Airplane Mode. (Your settings on your smart phone should have this feature)

Anyway, FLIR had decided to send me another model of thermal camera to test in the field. The FLIR E8 thermal camera. Retailing for around $6,000, this model is top of the line thermal cam. It has over 5 different thermal settings. You ever see the movie Predator? Yeah. Like that.

FLIR E8 hard case.

The goods...

Powering on is easy and fast.

 

The latch below opens and closers the protective lens shutter.

The camera is easy to use and light weight. Taking photos with the camera is just a trigger pull and is very clean. There is even a standard camera mode as well. Comes in a sturdy, foam padded case to protect your investment and 2 rechargeable batteries.

Leo looks good in thermal! MEOW!

Default Iron thermal setting.

Rainbow thermal setting.

Standard camera setting.

Dark basement? No problem...

As much as I like the FLIR E8, the price is way too pricey for your average paranormal investigator. I for one will be waiting on the FLIR One that I listed above before committing to purchasing a FLIR model myself. 

I think it is also note worthy to say that FLIR's competitor, FLUKE, told me that they did not want me to use their product in the field of paranormal investigation. I found that incredibly funny considering that a thermal cam can be used for safety and documenting temperatures, not just picking up anomalies on the view finder and such. Nothing would suck more than running face to face with a raccoon or other wild animal during an investigation in the dark. I did run into a skunk one time... but that story is for another time.

My Return to Pennhurst

Pennhurst State School in Spring City, PA. One of the creepiest places on the planet to investigate, let alone visit. On March 15th, 2014, a team of investigators and myself explored Pennhurst. It is not the first time I had been there. This was the 5th time at the location, and it did not disappoint.

See the picture of me standing next to the Exorcist graffiti that I took with my iPhone? Well, during a break in the investigation, I turned it on to take this photo. Immediately right after this picture was taken, my cell phone died. It had about 3/4 charge during the time this picture was taken during our first break. Why this happened is completely unexplained. It had never done that before, nor since. Want to hear something even weirder? After about an hour, I tried it again. My cell phone turned back on and had it's 3/4 charge back. Go figure...

Not only did the battery in my phone go hay-wire, but my ZOOM H2 audio recorder batteries died as well on the 3rd floor of the Mayflower building during an EVP session. Yeah. Of course I switched out the dead ones for new ones. I love it when I replace batteries before an investigation and this happens. It just helps validate the activity.

Yeah. Battery drain happens ALL the time in haunted locations. Belief is that spirits use batteries and other energy sources to help them communicate. I have seen this happen to video recorders, audio recorders, cameras, etc. First time it ever happened to my cell phone. I usually keep it off during investigations.

It was pretty cold that night. Around 32 degrees. By 2am, my feet were frost bitten. Literally frost bitten. That's just the nature of the beast. I used ski socks, but those can only help so much.

The full moon that night was awesome. Did it help with our findings? Hell yeah it did. I feel as though we got what we came for. Well, just listen below and hear it for yourself:

>> USE HEADPHONES FOR BEST RESULTS <<

I want to thank Pennhurst, all of the amazing investigators, and Dawn from Haunted Entertainment for running an amazing event at Pennhurst. Special thanks to Erik for bringing me some Mad Elf beer as well. Very awesome. We got some amazing results that night and shared great personal experiences as well. Till next time...
