The more I watch Paranormal shows the more I believe the hauntings I have experienced are false. Almost all are using the same techniques as investigators in the 70’s. They have the same theories and collect the same evidence that in 30 years still hasn’t proved nothing.
Every now and then you will notice new equipment and some “Theory”, on how a ghost interacts with said equipment.
If something can’t be quickly explained, there is a theory to prove it’s a ghost.
Most Paranormal Investigators do not like answering questions that are outside of there investigations, except one I met, April.
Now we don’t always see eye to eye. Sometimes our conversations wind up with her thinking I am a stupid dick, and me thinking she’s a dumb bitch.
For the most part she doesn’t give some dumb, warmed over excuse, on why she does what she does. Whether I think it’s right or wrong, she is clear and concise on her answers. This has led me to respect her and her thoughts.
There is a real fun thing she does now and then in Yahoo groups, She asks a question on an investigation. This normally has me laughing so hard I pee myself. Not that she asked a question, but the answers, then again, some of the answers scare the crap out of me because some people should be locked up.
Case in point. A female had strange vibrations while in bed (Shut up perverts). It was localized in the lower back. She was very superstitious and lived in a haunted house. She went to hotel one night and she again had the vibrations, she thought she was possessed. Actually it’s a case of “paresthesia”.
Answers came out of the wood work! She was Possessed, she was getting ready to have an out of body experience, etc. In actuality it was just a nervous disorder.
The answers didn’t bother me. What did bother me is that not one, and I mean one, Investigator would answer the question!
If your a paranormal investigator, you should be able to answer paranormal questions. It’s O.K. if your wrong, everyone is at some point or another. But when you refuse to answer the tough questions it shows me you have no clue what your doing.
When investigating the paranormal you need to be able to think out of the box, not mimicking some other group and they way they do things.

I found it, I finally found it!

I wanted to make this site a bit different. I wanted people to be actually able to find content and stories. The problem with CMS’s (Content Management Systems) is they specialize in certain areas and have a steep learning curve to get it to do what you want. Not to mention that it adds tons of crap that you will never use.

Wordpress (This CMS) (External Link), I love. you can type all day and everything appears neatly on the main page. The problem? Most plugins that you want are outdated. Well, now I found a theme that does what I want without all the plugins! I can have all the categories in the sidebar, separated into there categories without one long big list!

I have also installed Simplepress Forums (External Link). It is a clean, fast forum!

So now I am ready to add stuff and hopefully make this an enjoyable site. So sit back, relax, and if you feel like posting, by all means, go ahead.

NOTICE.

As I add articles, they will also appear on the right.  This will show the last 20 articles in each category. The far right sidebar will show my Blog and latest forum posts. This should make it Super easy to find articles.

This is as good a day to die as any.”
Cherokee Bill, March 17, 1896, as he stepped into the courtyard at Fort Smith and saw the gallows.

Crawford Goldsby (a.k.a. Cherokee Bill) was born at Fort Concho, Texas, on Feb. 8, 1876. One of my source has Bill being of mixed blood, being part white , Hispanic, and black. Another source has reported to me that Bill was of African, European and Indian ancestry. His father was a mulatto from Alabama. Bill was homeless at the age of seven when his parents separated. An old black woman, named Amanda Foster, took him in and raised him at Fort Gibson, I. T.

At age twelve, Goldsby shot and killed his first man. It was his brother-inlaw, who told him to feeds some hogs. Because of his age he was not prosecuted. As a teenager Goldsby took to petty thievery. He got into fights regular, and when he could not settle them with his fists he would go for his guns. By the age of fifteen he had became an expert shot.
