I just wanted to let you all know what happened with me and what I have been doing. A lot has been going on in my life including a move from Texas to Delaware and another is yet to come next year.
I've gone to a few Paranormal events since I last posted but have been to more Haunt and Halloween type of events and less Paranormal.
I haven't lost my love for the paranormal however, not by a long shot. But I will say that I became discouraged, much like I believe Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures had, when I attended paranormal events and went on the paranormal investigations, that I couldn't use any of the evidence I might have collected.
You see, when you go on these events, you are there with approximately 200 or so people. On one of the investigation nights, you are split up in groups of 25 or so people and are then escorted to a predetermined location at the event host site and are kept there for about maybe an hour if you are lucky. Then you are moved to about 3 other chosen locations whether you have made any connections or not, switching with the other 3 groups.
Although in the past, they tried to separate those who are seasoned investigators from the newbies, many newbies just lied about their experience to get with what they perceived was the better group.
This led to lots of chit-chatting during an investigation, walking around and all sorts of disruptive noises. It was impossible to really and truly investigate at this point.
So I became disheartened with it all and stopped going unless I knew there were a limited number of people. That is, sadly enough, not usually the case, not the norm at all.
So if you happen upon this blog and want to see some of the things I am doing with Haunt and Halloween related things, feel free to hop on over to my Halloween blog:

Otherwise, as I get settled some more, I hope to come over here and post some more about the past couple of years and talk about some experiences, new equipment and meeting with a few of the celebrities. :) I also want to talk of some of the new groups out there who are holding investigative events led by many of the celebrities you may have seen on tv.
For now, feel free to write as you wish and comment if you like and look for more updates in the future. :)
Thanks again everyone for reading!
