Angels and Demons

This is a article I wrote for Small Town Paranormal tonight.  Check it out.


The other night we asked your opinions about negative entities and demons.  We asked specifically what you thought the differences were.  I want to start out by saying that I am no Demonologist, nor do I claim to be.  Small Town Paranormal does not have anybody on the team that is.  We do of course have our own opinions and way of dealing with these issues when we are contacted or the need arises.  I'll talk about thise later......first off, according to many Pastors and Priests that I have personally spoken to or interviewed over the years, Demons are Fallen Angels.  They are minions of Satan himself.  Dark Entities, or as I refer to them....."Negative Entities" were once human like you or I, and hang around after death to toy with a person or a family.  Now both may have the same objective in mind.....but ultimately Demons are in pursuit of your very soul.  Negative Entities tend to be in pursuit of making your life miserable.  Negative Entities often accomplish the same outcome, but they cannot in fact take your soul, because they can not do anything with it if they could get it.  Demons on the other hand, can bring your soul to Satan.  That is the primary function.  One fan summed it up in the most awesome way I have ever heard it out..........Negative Entities oppress, and Demons Consume.  I think that is the most truthful and best answer I have ever heard.  In an interview talking about Demons.....one Priest summed it up this way......A Demon can take years to consume and ruin a soul.......a Dark Entity often strikes quickly, and tries to ruin a body.  (Which many of them are in pursuit of because they long for the time when they had a body).  Excorcisms are still performed to this day within the Catholic Church.  There are certain criteria that must be met for one to be performed, and this process may take many months to complete.  Excorcisms are ultimately the last ditch effort to try and save a soul that is in danger of becoming lost forever to the Devil himself.  This is why Demons are subtle in their approach, taking time to gain a tighter foothold on the person that they are trying to possess.  Demons can manipulate a human body to spasm wildly, speak in tongues and deep growling voices, eyes can roll back into the heads of their victims, and there has even been a documented levatation of one man being excorcised.  Negative entites can often times scratch their victims, people have been tossed across rooms by them, and some people have reported constant endless whispers in their ears hour after hour during all times of the day.  Like one Priest said, "Dark Entities tend to make themselves known very well, Demons want to remain hidden.  It is easier for them to consume a soul that way."  I was once told that demons have an eternity to ruin and then rule your soul.  Dark Entities do not have that time frame in their minds.  Ultimately, the whole concept comes down to an endless battle between good and evil.  It boils down to what one chooses to believe.  I myself was raised Catholic, and many of my beliefs are based on that Faith.  One Priest said in an interview that a person was brought to him that was truly and fully possessed.  The person jerked around, and when Holy Water was thrown onto him, he winced in pain and a dark growl came from within him.  The Priest said that he appeared weak and just being in the Church made that so.  A Demon cannot resist the power of the Lord.  The Priest went on to say that he found it disgusting that a demon would have more belief in the power of the Lord than many practicing Catholics today.  A pretty interesting observation from a Priest that has performed Excorcisms.  So how do these Entities and Demons get a hold on somebody?  The thought process on this differs from person to person.  It really just matters who you ask.  The common denominator is usually somebody practicing a dark ritual, or using an Ouija board, or performing a seance.  These things can introduce the individual to a darkness that they may not have thought existed to them.  Many of these things I mentioned can open doors that cannot easily be closed once opened.  Most times this happens when somebody that is impressionable decides to dabble into the occult or think that a harmless session with an Ouija board cannot harm them.  What they do not realize is that when they are opening those doors, and thinking that it is the spirit of a loved one or something just trying to give them answers.....it is really a dark entity or demon introducing themselves, and introducing those children or individuals to what could be years of pain and torture to everybody they ever cared about.  I will write more on the subject again sometime.......and I ask all of you that read this to remember......these opinions are mine, and mine alone.......it does not reflect the opinion of the entire team, or anybody else.  Thanks for reading.

The Best Evidence Game.

11/10/2013

The best evidence game is played on many different boards in the paranormal field.  We still have teams out and about that play the "Na Na Na Na Naaaaa......we are better than you!" bullshit.  In my personal opinion, it takes more of your teams time and energy playing that crap than if you just go out and do your thing.  When a team is under the misleading assumption that they are the best......it actually keeps them from doing their best.  There is a difference.  This Romper Room style of playing "paranormal politics" is just downright as childish as adults can get.  I for one don't care who I do or don't impress.  I am not here to make impressions to be liked.  I am here to present things that I have caught in my adventures around my area and let the people that follow what I am doing be the judge.  I may or may not agree with their take on it.....but that is ok.  I have said this in the past, when a team or group strives to be the best.....it just gives them a false sense of superiority.  When a team or group strives to be the best they can be.....that is when things really come together.  I have been part of many investigations, and I have worked with dozens of wonderful people/investigators.  The ones that I like the best are the ones that put it out there and try new things, and the ones that keep their chins up and their noses to the grind stone no matter what negativity they are hearing from other groups about other groups.  I have a no bullshit policy on my page, if anybody says anything negative about another team.....they are banned and blocked, end of story.  I may not agree with everybody, and I may not even like everybody......but I do believe that everybody should try a little live and let live and quit trying to disregard everyone else but themselves.  The best evidence I have ever seen?  The evidence that isn't even paranormal.  It is the evidence that a bunch of adults that claim to be "professional" act more like children than a 5 year old does because somebody does something a little different than they do.  Just my opinion, not saying its Gospel.  As always, Thanks for watching my videos, reading my blogs, supporting my friends, and overall.......supporting the entire field.  I know someday we will all grow up, it just takes time.

Wayward Girls Cemetery

  I visited the Wayward Girls Cemetery in Geneva, Illinois today.  As I entered the cemetery that is in the middle of an upper class Subdivision, I could feel an overwhelming sadness come over me.  I am not one that claims to have sensitivity, or any kind of psychic ability whatsoever, but this is one place that I visited and I can honestly say I was happy to leave.  I was not happy in the sense that I was scared, nor did I feel threatened in any way, I actually felt depressed and great pity for those 51 marked graves in that small cemetery.  Most of the gravestones in this cemetery were marked with a name, and birth date and death date.  That was it.  Nobody to care any more, nobody to visit them, just 51 forgotten souls......and those are the graves that were marked.  I believe there are most likely more than 51 bodies of 51 souls there.  I also took notice of stones that were marked with the birth and death dates being the same year.  This depressed me the most.  When I first heard about this cemetery, and the possibility of being haunted, I couldn't wait for the chance to go there.  After walking around and looking at the dates and those lonely gravestones that are the only reminder of a life that once held promise for somebody, I actually felt disgusted and ashamed of our society for what had happened to these girls.  The majority of these girls ended up in this home and many like it because of becoming pregnant.  That was their crime.  A crime?  Since when was becoming pregnant a crime?  Well, back between 1894 and 1940 apparently it was and these graves mark the end for some of those girls (and their babies) that never made it out.  I am not sure that this particular cemetery is haunted.  I will say this, it is for me.  It is haunted by the memory of 51 girls and their children that were tucked away and forgotten about.  It is haunted by the shadows that each stone casts in the setting sun of girls and their children that never had a chance to grow up being cared for and surrounded by their families.  It is haunted by the shame that everybody should feel for knowing that our society used to condone this behavior, and instead of learning from it......would rather forget about it like the stones in this cemetery.  After my visit today, I feel truly sad and appalled by what human beings were capable of putting their very own little girls through.
