Does Living Near an Energy Source Affect the Paranormal


Ghosts and spirits are energy- they're emotional and physical beings of energy, and to manifest or make themselves known they need power - either kind of power. For people who live near high-tension wires, they can act as a power source for the paranormal. 

High-tension wires transmit bulk electrical energy at high voltages (110 kV or above) from power plants to electrical substations. These high tension wires also emit electric and magnetic fields known as EMF (which ghost hunters use to detect ghosts). Those fields can serve to "power up" paranormal activity in a home located near them (however, the home has to have a ghost in it- ghosts just aren't drawn to homes near high-tension wires). 
  
Ghosts choose to stay in a place when people die and decide to stay Earth-bound. If they’re not in your home, it’s rare that they will come into a home (unless someone is using a Ouija board or invites them in). Spirits, however, can use that energy to come and visit their loved ones and give signs during special occasions.

Meet: the Very Special Sharon Ramirez author of Phantomology 101

Margaret and Sharon

Meet Sharon Ramirez, the author of Phantomology 101 and paranormal  investigator. This is an amazing story of Sharon's friend Margaret, who found a way to make Sharon's first book into a reality, as Sharon battles a serious illness.

I was introduced to Sharon in December through my friend Margaret, who manages Inspired Ghost Tracking. Margaret told me that Sharon wrote a book 2 years ago about the history of ghosts and ghost hunting, but was unable to publish it  because Sharon had been battling cancer. Having now published 2 of my own books, I happily agreed to help out with edits, revisions and
Sharon and I meet for the first time in person
the publishing process
. So,
I corresponded mostly with Margaret over the course of a couple of months to get photos and direction for the book as Sharon found it difficult to talk during her treatments. I did have some communication with Sharon directly until we got closer to publishing. 

After working back and forth with Margaret to get pictures and answers on formatting, and revisions, I was thrilled to see the proof copy of the book arrive. After going through the proof and making more revisions, the book was ready.  The book was recently published through Createspace.com and is available on Amazon.com for $7.99. Sharon's dream of publishing her first book had come true thanks to Margaret's drive to help her friend. 
A packed room for the book signing!

"Phantomology 101...Hunting The Haunted," includes a history of ghosts & ghost hunting to the modern day science of ghost hunting, what every paranormal investigator needs to know!  It's available on Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/cbrpsoo

Sharon celebrates her first book

Last week, I attended Sharon's first book signing event  and finally met her in person after months of working through Margaret and later with Sharon via text and email to make the book a reality. What a wonderful sight to see an entire room packed with supporters who bought Sharon's book and listened to her give a brief overview. Sharon was glowing and it was so rewarding to Margaret, me, her brother Rodney (who as also there) and so many others from Inspired Ghost Tracking.

Tom, Rob, Diane, Renee

It goes to show you that with a little help from your friends, all of your dreams are possible.




More information about Sharon follows: 

For several years, Sharon Ramirez worked for one of the most prominent law firms in the Baltimore area of which one of her duties were spent helping to research the Law Library. She then moved on into the field of property management and real estate. Because of her legal background, she was appointed corporation court representative on all cases filed on their behalf. It was not long afterwards that she suffered a serious illness that resulted in a NDE (near-death experience) that changed her life forever!!! She went back to seriously researching again, but this time it was for answers to something more unusual...paranormal phenomena and the truth to life-after-death. Sharon Ramirez founded and formed Maryland TriState Paranormal, researching and investigating spirit & ghost phenomena throughout the Delmarva and Mid-Atlantic Region for the past decade. Her work has been featured in "The Frederick News Post," "The Examiner," mentioned in Michael Varhola's latest book, "Ghosthunting Maryland," and more. She has been on various paranormal radio shows, and co-hosts "The Haunted Syndicate." Her latest works include the investigation of Centralia, Penn., of which she was a cast member in Boston filmmaker, Robyne Marie's lat-est Paranormal Documentary, "Ghosts A'Fire." Sharon Ramirez studied Human Services, Case Work, Counseling, and Psychology at the Community College of Baltimore County, Maryland. She manages case files of paranormal activity, and interviews and counses clients who feel they may be victimized by a haunting.

Amazing Message from a Little Boy

I usually have to clear my mind to get messages from ghosts or spirits and that means either concentration or relaxation. One place that my mind goes blank is in the shower, and that's where I've received a lot of messages. Moving water helps spirits by giving them energy to communicate.
Red overalls like I saw Andy wearing
  On Wednesday, March 27th when I was taking a shower I suddenly heard a little boy say "my name is Andy. Andy Andrew. In my mind he showed me that he was wearing red overalls and a blue shirt and sneakers and had dark colored hair (brown or black) and was wearing it in bangs.  He was about 3-4 years old. He then pointed to a boxy truck - that looked like a toy- boxy meaning firetruck-like or a small box truck. That meant that there was some importance to it.   - He also said, "Tell mom and dad that I'm okay here, and not to worry. Everything is good." 
  I couldn't figure out whom he belonged to, and who his mom and dad were, but I know that they're both still alive. Here's where the mystery became clear.
  The next night, my partner Tom and I attended a book signing event for a woman associated with the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group we belong to. Sharon Ramirez was autographing her book "Phantomology 101," and many of the group members were present at the signing (which occurred in a room at a local restaurant).
   Tom and I sat at a table with some of the members and enjoyed dinner and conversation. After Sharon talked about her book and began signing them, I moved over to another table to talk with our friends Ronda and Nancy. Ronda spoke about her uncle that passed away recently and how he was not a nice person. I sensed that her uncle is currently Earth-bound for that very reason. As we were talking about ghosts and spirits, I mentioned that I had a visitor and message from the night before.
  Nancy, who was sitting across the table from me, gasped when I said the little boy said his name was "Andy - Andrew." I told her the rest of the details, and she told me she had chills. 
A kid that resembles Andy that I saw
  Nancy told me that about 35 years ago or so, a little boy named "Andy Andrews" who lived in her neighborhood with his mom and dad, had passed away around age 3 or 4. She recalled that he wore his hair in bangs, just as I saw Andy appear to me. She immediately the significance of the box truck. Andy's father used to drive an ice-cream truck, which is a boxy truck.
  I told Nancy that Andy wants to let his parents know he's okay. Nancy said she would check to see if one of the parents still lived in the neighborhood, because they got divorced after Andy's premature death.
  What does that mean? Spirits, like Andy, know that upcoming events in our lives will lead us to someone to convey their message to the appropriate people. That's why Andy came to me when he did. Just another lesson I learned from the dead. Hopefully, Nancy will be able to contact one or both of Andy's parents and tell them the comforting message I received.

Sage: Effects on Ghosts or Spirits?

Yesterday, March 16, I gave an introduction at Barb Mallon's medium event. I talked about how springtime is a time of rebirth for vegetation, as becoming a ghost or spirit is another step in our lives.
White sage in a bundle. Cr. Trueghosttales.com
  After the event, I met and talked with many of the people who attended as I did a short book signing. One woman who recently lost a daughter asked me about whether burning sage would keep away the spirit of her daughter. Good question!
  Sage has been used for hundreds of years, starting with Native Americans (Hopi tribe) to keep evil entities away. I've read that "White Sage" is preferred. Sage also comes in liquid spray form, too, to make it easier to cleanse an area. Although Sage helps with clearing negativity, the most important thing to do if you have an Earth-bound ghost in the house is to talk to the ghost and tell them they are no longer welcome there.
 - Sage clears negativity and Earth-bound ghosts, which are comprised of and emit negative energy. Ghosts are powered by negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, depression.
 - Because Spirits who cross into the light and return from time to time are comprised of positive energy, Sage does not affect them. Spirits are powered and drawn to us from positive emotions of love, faith and hope.

How to Treat a Ghost / A Lesson from Mike Ricksecker

Thomas Wolfe House, Asheville, haunted by the author's brother
When people experience paranormal things in their home or in a place they may be visiting or investigating (if they're ghost investigators) they need to keep in mind that these beings of energy were once human and still behave as humans.
  My friend and "Ghostorian" Mike Ricksecker said that he treats ghosts with respect when he goes into a place they may be dwelling in. I really admire him for that. Mike said that he enters a place, introduces himself and extends his hand as if to shake their hand. That is a true gentleman and that's the level of respect we need to offer to ghosts.
  Mike is also an author of several books, two books about ghosts and haunted places and two mystery novels featuring lead character and detective Chase Michael DeBarlo. I recommend all of his books. For more information go to: http://www.rrdevelopments.com/mike/
My 1st book recently updated for $7.99 paper/$2.99 ebook
   It's so easy to think of a ghost as just some "weird" or paranormal thing that wants to make someone's life difficult, or is inhabiting a space living people are in. The fact is, they were all once living, breathing people like you and me. Some may not perceive that they aren't flesh and blood anymore, but regardless of that, their behaviors are still those of humans. SO, we need to treat them as if they were breathing. They're still alive, but just as beings of energy.
  Some ghosts stay because they don't want to leave the home they knew. Others are stuck here because they lingered and can't remember how to move on. Still others continue to seek forgiveness- and for those, it's worse if the people they're trying to get it from have died and crossed into the light- because Earth-bound ghosts and spirits who have crossed can see each other, but they're on different planes of existence, and communications are apparently difficult - so a living person on Earth must act as a mediator to convey the forgiveness.

  Remember that some ghosts who know they're dead and can't remember how to cross over may be angry, just as a person would who is trapped anywhere for a long time. We should talk to them and tell them to seek sources of the light- in funeral homes, cemeteries, hospitals, and direct them as you would direct a living person.

Can You Feel Someone's Presence When They're in a Coma?









 Recently I was asked:  Is it possible to feel someone's presence or spirit even if they are in a coma and haven't passed yet?    

 Yes, it is possible to feel someone's presence even if they are in a coma.
  Sometimes, it has been known that when people are in a coma, their spirit is able to project to another location, to contact people they love. It's called astral projection.  You can get a good idea about how it works here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astral_projection
  Please tell the person that you sensed them and that if they need to pass, its okay for them to cross into the light. Sometimes people need to hear that it's okay to move on if they want to. Otherwise, they should be encouraged to recover. It depends on the age and situation of the person's health. Use your best judgment.

It turned out that the coma patient passed a few hours later (and the person asked didn't even know the patient had been in a coma).  The person that sensed her friend's spirit said that she was very emotional that night and knew something bad had happened.

Ghostly Energy and Headaches: Lightning and Migraines

Does lightning cause your headache?

 I always get a headache in the back left side of my head whenever the energy of a ghost or spirit is around. Now, a new scientific study links lightning (another form of energy) to headaches, helping to reinforce my theory of "electrical overload" in the brain from outside energies (like ghosts and spirits).  As a meteorologist, I find this very plausible and exciting that this research acts to confirm my theory about getting "ghostly headaches."

 Does lightning cause your headache?

Lightning tied to onset of headaches, migraines, says study

A new study has found that lightning might affect the onset of headache and migraines.
ARTICLE: http://earthsky.org/human-world/lightning-tied-to-onset-of-headaches-migraines-says-study?utm_source=EarthSky+News&utm_campaign=90a68c0171-EarthSky_News&utm_medium=email
Do you sometimes feel like you’re getting a headache when a thunderstorm is coming on? Turns out, it’s not the thunder – it’s the lightning. That’s according to a new study that has found that lightning might affect the onset of headache and migraines.

The study, published in the January 24, 2013 online edition of the journal Cephalalgia, said there was a 31 percent increased risk of headache and 28 percent increased risk of migraine for chronic headache sufferers on days lighting struck within 25 miles of study participants’ homes.
In addition, new-onset headaches and migraines increased by 24 percent and 23 percent in participants when lightning was nearby.
Geoffrey Martin, fourth-year medical student at University of Connecticut, and his father, headache expert Vincent Martin MD, a professor at University of Connecticut, led the study. Geoffrey Martin said:
Many studies show conflicting findings on how weather, including elements like barometric pressure and humidity, affect the onset of headaches. However, this study very clearly shows a correlation between lightning, associated meteorological factors and headaches.

Vincent Martin said:
We used mathematical models to determine if the lightning itself was the cause of the increased frequency of headaches or whether it could be attributed to other weather factors encountered with thunderstorms. Our results found a 19 percent increased risk for headaches on lightning days, even after accounting for these weather factors. This suggests that lightning has its own unique effect on headache.
So why would lightning trigger a headache? Vincent Martin explained:
Electromagnetic waves emitted from lightning could trigger headaches. In addition, lightning produces increases in air pollutants like ozone and can cause release of fungal spores that might lead to migraine.
The researchers said that his study gives some insight into the tie between headaches or migraines, lightning and other meteorologic factors. However, the exact mechanisms through which lightning and/or its associated meteorologic factors trigger headache are unknown.
Bottom line: A new study, published in the January 24, 2013 online edition of the journal Cephalalgia, is the first tying lightning to headache. The study found there was a 31 percent increased risk of headache and 28 percent increased risk of migraine for chronic headache sufferers on days lighting struck within 25 miles of study participants’ homes.

An Amazing Paranormal Fantasy Trilogy: BOUND

Paranormal fans like me always want to hear more stories, and I read my first Paranormal Adult Fantasy Novel recently and it's a page-turner! 
  I met author I.R. Harris (Isabella) at the Baltimore Book Festival in the summer of 2012 when she was presenting several of her novels, including the Bound Trilogy. (Her blog: http://irharrisbooks.blogspot.com/)
  I enjoy mysteries, ghost stories, etc. and had never read paranormal adult fantasy. When I started reading BOUND, I was hooked. The characters are vivid and very likeable. The complex relationship the author weaves between the characters (like demons who are bound to humans) and vampires will keep readers (like me) wanting to find out what's going to happen next. 
  The setting of the book occurs in the Philippines and is exotic and mysterious like some of the characters. You'll find yourself rooting for several characters and saying "why are you doing this" aloud when you read it. This is an amazing book by an amazing author who will take you to a distant place and make you enjoy the trip. I can't recommend this enough.
 It's available on Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/review/create-review/ref=cm_cr_dp_wrt_summary?ie=UTF8&asin=1469953455&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=283155&store=books

An Important Message from a Cat's Spirit

The blog from 2 weeks ago was about my messages during my friend and mentor, Barb Mallon's holiday medium event on Dec. 16. This week I want to focus on a special message from a feline. Animals such as dogs, cats and horses can come through to me and other mediums because they have the intelligence of 3 to 5 year old children. Think about it: they know our language, learn commands and modify their behavior based on our communications. They can also give us messages after they pass, and this particular cat did.

- The third spirit that came through to me was a cat!  The gray cat was found on a doorstep, like a porch. The cat told me he was grateful to his mom for finding him and taking him in. He showed me a rainy day, and he would sit in the windowsill and wait for his mom to come home. He was grateful that she saved him, and gives her signs from time to time from moving blankets and comforters. He told me that she's either working for a cat rescue or thinking of working for a cat rescue, and that she should do it.

   It was chilling to me when a woman in the audience identified with everything I said, and that she was recently approached by her friend to work for a cat rescue as a foster parent. She was considering it, but was on the fence. After the reading I gave her, she said that she would go ahead and foster a cat!  Wow.

Happy New Year! 
  I hope all of your dreams and expectations are met in 2013. Just keep a positive attitude and never quit. Sometimes we have to experience lows in order to appreciate the highs in life better. It's easy to take things for granted. 
   Assist those who are bullied, unhealthy, poor, struggling mentally, stressed, lonely or overwhelmed. Even if you're just lending an ear. It will make someone's burden lighter to listen.   
  Don't be afraid to hug someone, even someone you don't know. A lot of people need a hug and the contact can help. 
  Help a child or a homeless dog or cat. Adults can care for themselves, but children and animals cannot. 
  Make 2013 a good year in the selfless things you do for others, and it will come back to you. This is one of the lessons I learned from talking to people who have passed.
