Fear of Death

Thanatophobia. The fear of death. It is inevitable. There is no way of avoiding it completely. Eventually, all living things die. Not so easy to accept, is it? Kind of frightening when you think about it...

"Thanks a lot Chris! I was enjoying my day till I read this post!" I'm sorry for posting about this, but I think it truly needs to be discussed. I feel this is a truth that you either accept as a part of life, or fear at times throughout your life. You make a family, friends, career, home, money... Then one day, it's all gone... and so are you. Poof!

Being a paranormal investigator is one of the things in my life that allows me to help control my own fear of death. Some use religion, I use the paranormal as my method to confront death. I owe much to the field of paranormal research. It has proven to be a great way to understanding death, and not fearing it. Logically approaching the field of the paranormal really proved to be valuable in more ways than one.

Some skeptical people will say, "Dude, the paranormal is fake! When we die, it's lights out. Nothing more." I feel bad for people that feel this way. Since they have either been watching certain paranormal TV shows that fake findings, or have never truly been out on a paranormal investigation before. Atheists have there place in the paranormal world, they just don't know it. I for one believe in God. Not because I have met him, but because of faith.

I remember hearing my first real EVP. Wow. Did my world open up... It was at that point that I became obsessed with learning as much as I could about death, spirits, and anything paranormal. I feel as though I am pretty lucky that I can actually hear disembodied voices... and I am not schizophrenic because I capture them on audio at the same time of hearing them. It maybe that I hear certain frequency ranges better than others. Who knows... I just know they are real.

One thing I dread is the day my daughter approaches me about death. I would hate for her to realize one day that daddy and mommy won't be here one day. The only proven comfort I have for her is my paranormal findings throughout the years. At this age, she is still a bit fearful of ghosts. Maybe in the future when she approached me about the idea of death, I can revisit that idea.

Another thing we fail to look at is advancement in medicine. Is it crazy to think that maybe with all the advancements in medicine that living forever could be possible?

Until next time... Live life like you are going to die.

...and we wait... again.

Right now, as it stands, the Scream Paranormal Research team and I are currently up for a few paranormal series TV shows... yet again. 

Yeah. It's like beating a dead horse... then beating it again, and again, and again... and then again. Is it frustrating? You bet it is. We are constantly being looked at for a reality TV show series and never get the network commitment. Is this the 128th time to charm? Who the hell knows. At this time, it is barely even blog worthy to write about it. I refuse to hold my breath any longer waiting on a show. The chances of successfully getting a network to buy and air your show is like 1,000,000 to 1. I think we have a better chance of catching Bigfoot to be honest...

What also sucks is the fact that anyone can call me a liar. Sure. Go for it. It won't be the first time... It really blows when you sign a non-disclosure agreement and are told not to say anything about the show. All I know is that the casting directors and production houses are real. Is the opportunity real? They say it is, so I guess I have to believe them. Am I skeptical? Yep. 100% until proven otherwise with a show confirmation.

For the record, the team and I have fun doing the casting interviews. We have even done sizzle reels, pilot episodes, and a few one-off shows for A&E Biography and Syfy. It's all in good fun and we have a blast doing them. Once the waiting starts, I just shut the whole thing off. It's best for everyone to do so. Dwelling on a "maybe" on a constant basis really sucks.

The one thing I have come to notice lately is that some of the older paranormal TV shows are just down right boring and fake as hell. It's like they don't even try to investigate anymore. They have had their time on TV and I feel it is time they move on to other ventures. I'm sorry, but their investigations get boring week after week. Even though I'd call some of these people my friends, it doesn't mean I have to like their shows. What makes it worse is when they start with the demon possessions, capturing a ghost, and other bullshit associated with the episode.

Given the chance, I know for a fact that my team and I could do a million times better then the shows that are currently airing on network. Sad thing is, we may never get the chance to prove it. Oh well... In the meantime, it's time for me to take out the garbage for tomorrows pickup. Be right back...

Being professional in the paranormal community

With everything going on lately, I thought it was time to finally clear the air a bit on what has transpired over the last month or so. There are a few loose ends that need to be taken care of, so for me, this is the place to do so. It's not like I haven't been attacked in the past from those seeking attention... so, here we go again...

My Personal Life

Let me start by saying, I understand that my personal life is out there quite a bit for others to see. This is my choice. I have been on TV a few times, attended numerous paranormal events, conducted many lectures, etc. Some consider me a paranormal celebrity, some do not. To each his own. In my eyes, I am a father, husband, and a paranormal investigator. At times, I would get caught up in the hype of the events and was led to believe I was more important than I originally thought. I even liked to make fun of being looked at as a paranormal celebrity by having my face put on t-shirts(...they glow in the dark btw!) I poke fun at the entire situation because... why not? All in all, it is in good fun that I do this. Most people get this, and again... some do not.

I have a strict rule I follow when it comes to my family. First and foremost, I protect my family from any and all types of vultures. Rude comments about any one of my family members equals you are on the "out" list. No apologies needed. I will never speak or pay attention to anything you do. If you want to be low-life scumbag, so be it. I don't have time for your bullshit, and neither does the rest of the world.

Once I was made aware of this recent attack on me, I decided to drop most of my paranormal friends from my personal Facebook page. Enough was enough. Who can you truly trust? That question plagued me every night for a week... so I took necessary steps to protect myself by dropping a ton of friends from my Facebook page. Wonder why the paranormal community is shrinking in numbers lately? Look no further than the backstabbing that takes place and you will find your answer.

Paranormal Disney World Trip 2015

What can I say... I should have ran this event by myself. Paranormal Disney World Trip was my idea. When I started the first Paranormal Disney World event in 2014, it was small, but had the potential to be something great. I have been attending Disney World parks nearly every year(sometimes up to 3 times a year...) since EPCOT opened on October 1, 1982. To combine Disney and the paranormal community together sounded like fun. I even had many ambitious and awesome ideas for future events. I worked my butt off making radio ads, video ads, banners, flyers, flew to Disney World for a site inspection, posted on Facebook message boards Disney related, etc. For the 2015 trip, I made a big mistake to let others into my trust circle and paid for it dearly.

For the record, I paid a large sum of money to leave behind the Paranormal Disney World Trip 2015 since the people I was working with were being extremely unprofessional. When I saw that the event was having possible financial issues and they would not work with me on cutting costs for the event, I knew I was in trouble. They would not return my calls, text message, or emails. It was only when I offered up $3,000 out of my own pocket to buyout from the event that they responded to me directly. Legally, I opted out of the event and passed off all legal and financial responsibility to this person. We had a mutual understanding and everything was taken care of in a legal and professional manner.

Professionalism

I try to remain as professional as possible when it comes to all business dealings. Events, business associates, etc. I put a "non-refundable" disclaimer on all of my events to make sure the venue is paid for... same as airline and concert tickets do. What is sad, is that this person has accused me of trying to scam people. I have never taken peoples money for events and not followed through, nor would I ever do that. Ask yourself this one question... Why would I pay $3,000 out of my own pocket to help cover expenses for the Paranormal Disney World Trip 2015, then turn around and try to scam people? Please... If you even try and go there with that ridiculous idea you would look like a foolish child seeking attention.

When I find others to be vindictive against me, I try not to return fire and call others out by name since it only draws attention to them and not the true issue at hand. It also protects me from legal retaliation of any kind. It is a smart business move on many levels.

I have also seen others making threats to harm me physically lately. I have documented all of this and currently plan on moving forward with legal action against all of the individuals involved. For New Jersey law, if a person feels threatened by another individual, they can be pursued legally and possibly sent to jail, do community service, have a permanent mark on their record, and fined heavily. If the crime was filed in New Jersey, they will also have to attend court in New Jersey where the complaint was filed. Threatening someone physically online can be considered a criminal offense in New Jersey at this time.

Cyber harassment is a new law that is picking up traction in the legal system. It is a serious issue and I for one am glad they are doing something about it. If libel defamation of character and harassment is the way you want to go, then jail could be your end game. Each state has it's own set of laws they follow. Careful what you post online. It could be your undoing and you could be threatening your own livelihood.

Last but not least.. I leave you with this:

Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. — Matthew 7:1-2

tIME dILATION

I had a thought the other day that I wanted to share with you. One that falls on the belief I have about time being different once we die. Or should I say, time is non-existent once we die. This belief of mine had led me to this new idea.. Does outer space hold the key to what happens after we die?

Let's look at this idea first... Do astronauts age differently in outer space? The short answer? Yes. Yes, they do. According to this article, this has been proven through science. ISS astronauts age a little bit slower in space than we do here on earth. Due to a principle of physics known as time dilation. Cool, huh? Time reacts differently in a sense.

Time Dilation is an interesting concept. In the theory of relativity, time dilation is an actual difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from gravitational masses.(from Wikipedia) Gravity, speed and possibly a few other things can cause variations in our age process when compared to outer space.

Here is where I get a bit paranormal... My belief is that time does not exist the same way once we die. Could time differences in outer space possibly somehow prove this? NDE's talk about how they float above their body and enter a white tunnel of light which takes them to the other side. Is outer space like a gateway to the 'stairway to heaven' once we die? Could time dilation somehow hold the secret to life after death?

I have so many more questions about this concept being possibly intertwined somehow. Here's a favorite question of mine... When conducting a paranormal investigation, why are EVP's sometimes heard a few seconds after you ask a question? Time dilation, perhaps?

In the next few months, I will continue to look into this idea and provide more details on what I discover. Stay tuned...
