Yesterday I received some information about certain crossroad here in my hometown which might be haunted. Eyewitnesses have seen an apparition of an old woman crossing the road and then disappearing. It happened in a daylight so it makes this hunting a lot more easier: Sitting in a sunshine with a cup of coffee and a camera in my hand - Ghosthunting couldn't be any better!
Well, near the same spot, people have seen a woman walking on the sidewalk with a child holding her hand. The child always disappears in a blink of an eye or so it is told. I wonder, maybe this woman had a child who died somewhere around that crossroad?
Seems like these possible entities are not to be considered as Intellectual spirits. The way they're re-acting the last moments of their lives or perhaps living the life without knowing they're dead does not seem like they really know what they're doing and therefore it is impossible to call them 'intellectual' in any way. The point with the intellectual ones is that one has to have its own mind and possibility to act according to his/her own will. They're usually unpredictable and may also cause harm if it is what they want.
Well, the one connecting piece with these two possible apparitions is the place, which is crossroads. Crossroads have always been seen as magical places. Some see these grounds as a vortex attracting the spirits and to some they're places filled with energies. The history of these roads dates back to several centuries, even decades. They're filled with myths, rumours, folklores and different magical aspects.
Personally I'm not going to investigate these above mentioned apparitions and mess them up with crossroads with all its history and neverending magical aspects. The thing is that both of these possible accidents took a place near or in that same place and I believe that this is the reason why the place is what it is. The traffic is horrible there so were these apparitions real or not, it is absolutely true and a fact that many must have died there. Perhaps violently and without any waning.
The results of this investigation are available here, at the Hallow grounds as soon as I'm done with it!

Natural or Supernatural?
Again I did talk with my friend about this "hunting program" of mine. The welcoming, as it usually is, was something predictable: "There's no such things as 'paranormal' in the world. It's simply caused by a natural phenomena". -Yes, that's absolutely true!
Human body and everything we see, feel, hear, smell and taste is completely natural. Everything that exists, is completely natural simply because it exists! Even the so called 'paranormal things' are natural. They might not be it now but later on, they will.
Our physical body, every cell within it, is natural, our mind is natural and our spirit is natural. The energies we contain are natural and actually some of those energies can be captured by using this 'Kirlian photography". A decent example about the fact that didn't exists but today, it exists. It used to be "paranormal mambo-jambo" but now it's under serious studies for the possible electromagnetic energies that our body sends.
The difference between 'natural' and 'paranormal' is in the ones mind. Simply, paranormal is just a word to describe something that happens and can't YET be explained rationally. It still exists! Our knowledge is not a meter to describe what is real and what is not. We're apes with computers so we really shouldn't expect a lot! Now paranormal things will no longer be paranormal or supernatural after years. The science will not go on without these explorers of the unknown, at least not in this field of science. Instead of being an idiot, redneck denying all the things we can't see, people could think the possibilities that the investigations could lead us to!
Banana is yellow just because our eyes can catch the yellow colour. Leaves of the forest are green, and not red, just because our eyes can't catch the infra red color that the leaves radiate. Actually red colour is the one that leaves radiate the most! Still we can't see it with our own bare eyes but we know that the leaves are red. The biggest radiation that those leaves send that our eyes can catch, is green. Therefore the leaves look green and not red.
That gives you a taste about the fact that there are so many things we don't know, so many levels we can't work with and so much more to explore! It would be completely stupid to deny until we know. Keep your mind open and search for answers! Don't deny if you don't know. And by 'knowing' I mean something more than just seeing or hearing because as we saw, it's simply not enought. Our senses are limited.
Did you actually know that our blood, without oxygen in it is blue? Take a look at your wrists and tell me what colour is your veins? -Red and blue. Others have oxygen in it, others don't.
Anyways, tonight my project will take me to a cemetery from which i captured few interesting photos. I'll add one here for you to decide is it just a result of surrounding lights, flash and my hand shaking together with possible colour on the ground, or could there be something to investigate? Pictures I took were mostly normal without anything interesting but few of them had strange lights roaming in the scenery. The dots looks like they were moving but without video, it's impossible to know.
Wish me luck and we'll see what happens!

Spirit in a paper
Certain documents are perhaps the most important thing to remember when trying to locate an active place or building. Pictures and videos may be 'clean' or 'empty', but the measurements that one has done while investigating could act as a dead important source of information when analyzing or comparing it with the other such results. For example, the odd differences between base temperatures are only visible in a database big enought. When comparing the results of places with same time, building structure or outside temperature, the exceptions are clearly visible and may prove to be active places!
Documents are also filled with serious facts. No question marks, just the facts. The things were just like they were told in a paper. Comparing hudreds of papers together, that are equal, will eliminate the false locations from the possible real ones. The information collected is not eglible for further investigations without lots of stuff with what to compare it! It also saves time, effort and importantly: Once it's done, it's also done for everyone else, not just for you!
Keep in mind that computers come and go, but paper stays. At least as long as you won't wipe your ass in it! The information collected is highly valuable. We don't want to lose the work we're done. The information may still be in your head but in my opinion, the also important thing is to get the surrounding world to realize the fact that this branch of science is in its rocky bottom and in need of a resurrection!
...And it'll happen only through crucial evidences.

Orbs - Spiritual apparition or simple dust?
I'd like to say few words about these so called "Orbs".
Personally I do not believe in, what most people call orbs. My experience has shown me that usually the floating balls are simply but dust, moisture, cigarette smoke or other such things. Especially it goes hard when there's only a picture of an orb what to analyze, simply because there's no movement in the photos.
My opinion is, that a real ball of energy is determined only by its movements, or occasionally by its structure. Pictures don't show movement. If the orb moves unnatural and unexpected ways, like sudden 90'degree turns or like it has it's own mind, it surely deserves closer analyzing and it could be called as "Intellectual spirit".
One thing that should not be forgotten is when a proper orb is seen, one should wait and keep on recording. The orb -form is many times only the one used when moving. The manifestation, shadows, strange mists and physical contacts (hits, scratches) usually occurs right after this roaming energy. Just keep your equipment on and remember that most likely the whole series of actions will happen in a blink of an eye, so be cautious and awake!
Here's one photo from the graveyard. A fresh, new grave with a shining orb over it. It's 80-20 odds that the orb is just a dust or so, even though there's fresh grave and a field full of corpses that could attract or capture real energy, without video it's absolutely impossible to make any further investigations with this picture. The structure may be analyzed and the situation pondered but that's about it.
So my point is that too often these orbs are nothing but a dust in the air! Internet is filled with pictures showing REAL orbs that can be analyzed and proved to be nothing but a dust or moisture in the air. Nevertheless there are those authentic orbs also. Usually these flying orbs caught on camera predicts something to be happened soon, so patience and keep your gear on!
In the end the paranormal investigation is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of evidences.
A pic is simply not enought when trying to proof something unnatural as natural.

Beyond the Lines
This blog will contain some of the most authenic pictures, evp's, videos, stories and other such things as soon as I have time to add them and to hunt some more.
"Ghostbusting" as we call it, is my no. 1 hobby along few other. Even though I sacrifice lots of hours for this hunting, the results aren't always what we expect or hope. Most of the photos, videos and EVP's are pure bullshit. The only value they have could be "artistic" or something like that. Well, I'm not here for the art anyways. Still sometimes when the place is active and equipment is proper, we get clean samples that could possibly prove that there really is something beyond our reach.
It's not a matter of money, equipment or anything like that. It's a matter of time for me to rush on and explore the places close to me. I've got a car, decent EQ and a mind which can take a hit or two without falling unconscious. I do live in Finland and we do have plenty of proper places to explore but still there are several problems that slows me down.
First of all, the distances between places are long. Secondly, the places are many times abandoned cabins in the middle of forest or so, so getting the proper map or trustworthy directions is hard and harder. Also the thing that people in Finland don't believe in ghosts, compared to british for example so your "investigations" or anything which is dealing with paranormality or that kind of things is not a reason to go anywhere. You don't get permissions and if you go without them, you'll end up in a jail.
Those things makes it hard to investigate but not impossible.
Let's see what happens.
By the way last night I did a journey to a local graveyard with my girlfriend and had some EVP's, photos and videos. Let's see if we find some interesting material to publish!
