Let the Most Haunted Beatdown Begin!

WARNING: If you're a "Most Haunted" fan, you're may wanna pass this one up.

OK, so look: I'm not usually the big outspoken one around here, but I gotta say this: I'm SO freggin' sick of these posers constantly trying to pull the wool over our eyes! I've watched week after week, year after year, and I've come to the conclusion (actually a long time ago) that it is SO horribly fake. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with reality paranormal tv. It's nothing more than a suspense/drama... with terribly bad acting. Don't get me wrong: I love paranormal shows, reality AND scripted, but I draw the line when someone calls it reality when, in "all reality", we know it's staged... ie; Most Haunted. Don't pass it off as real and insult the intelligence of your viewers! Just call it what it is: a supernatural suspense series, like "Supernatural", "Haunted", "Ghost Whisperer", "Phenomenon" and "Medium".

An example would be what I saw tonight:

Karl was "supposedly" trapped in a room and Brian and Stuart were trying to open it. Well, I paused my Dish DVR, backed up and watched in slow-mo, over and over. My conclusion is that they were NOT pulling on the door trying to open it. Stuart was twisting and pushing towards the wall, to the left (you could see this because the handle was loose, which the close-up revealed). In fact, Brian had his hand on it when it finally opened and you could literally see the door knob slip out of his hand as it moved away from him (the door open to the inside where Carl was "trapped"). Physics, mechanics and a bit of common sense tells you that when you're trying to open a door that opens in the opposite direction from where you are, then you will be PUSHING against it, not pulling. hence, when the door opened, Brian's hand should've went along with it, rather than being pulled off the handle in the opposite direction. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity: Mass being Brian's weight, velocity being the "supposed" direction and force against the door. Einstein isn't an idiot... and physics don't lie. Plus, when you're frantically tyring to open a locked door to "rescue" a mate, you'll be pushing against it with both hands: one on the knob, the other on the door itself. Brian wasn't holding a camera, so there's no excuse.

In most reality shows of this nature, the participants usually have no creative control over the show. Some examples would be Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International, who are owned jointly by Pilgrim Films and NBC Universal and controlled by Executive Producer, Craig Piligian. The TAPS name, logo and all things associated are owned by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson (TAPS)... but NOT the shows. Jason and Grant have no control over the shows. Sure, they have input, but no "real creative control". What this means is that they are at the mercy of both NBC Uni and Pilgrim. Now Most Haunted is completely different because the show is controlled AND owned by Yvette Fielding and her husband, Karl Beattie. Yes, that's right, both Yvette and Karl actually own the show (though Discovery Communications and LivingTV has rights to it). Now what this means is that Yvette, who is the Executive Producer, has total control over what happens and the direction the show moves in. In essence, who is to blame for the current degrading position of the show? YVETTE FIELDING!!!

There will be much more later on busting Most Haunted. for now, take a look at some of these clips exposing Most Haunted and Yvette Fielding for what they are: Horrible Illusionists. Geez... if they're gonna fake it, at least get someone really good in the game to assist. Criss Angel, anyone?

Yvette exposes Most Haunted as the fakes they are. Thanks Yvette, you help us prove our point.	Camera keeps rolling. Guess they didn't expect it to get out to the public. OBVIOUSLY BUSTED!	The table cloth creases while Yvette moves her hand. Ciarian O'Keefe actually caught this one. Ouch!
Claim they caught EVP when it was just Yvette... clearly saying "Elizabeth, Tapping". I don't get it. Why?	Stuart didn't think the camera caught him. The excuse was "I don't know why I threw it". Must've been possessed!	Here you can actually see Karl push the glass back (it tips). Now Karl, this doesn't look good, buddy!
Using Voodoo. Pin goes in left, Brian feels on right leg. Batteries must have gone dead on his earpiece, eh?	Here's Part 1 of Jason & Grant confronting Yvette Fielding on Beyond Reality Radio. Get 'em boys!	And here's Part 2 of Jason & Grant confronting Yvette. This was broadcast on Beyond Reality Radio.

New Top Site for Paranormal Groups

Hey there, this is Allison from SGPRS. I know I haven't been too active on the site as far as adding content, but hopefully since my schedule his lightened up, I can. Anyway, Chris has signed us up and created our own Top List Site. It's named "SGPRS's Top 100 Paranormal Groups" and we'd love for you all to add your group. Here's the link: www.sgprs.gotop100.com/

There are some rules, but the main one being that in order to be listed on the site, you have to be a paranormal group. You also need to have your own group's dedicated website. What I mean is that no Myspace and Facebook pages are allowed. It must be your own stand alone website.

This is a great way for everyone to gain some traffic. So go on, get your site on there!

Ghost Video - What's Your Thoughts on This One???

OK, so we post questionable ghost videos each week on the main site. These are videos that we've found elsewhere, like on Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe. This particular video has me scratching my head. It seems pretty authentic, so I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Leave comments below... I'm interested in getting feedback on this one.

Happy Hunting to all!
Chris

OK, so I came across this video (i'm always looking for interesting paranormal stuf!). I'm not too sure about it. To me, it sort-of looks to be faked, but then again, i'm just not sure.

Let us know what you think. You can leave a comment below.

Shadow People

Shadow People

At first, you catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. Just as you turn your head, it's gone. But the feeling of being watched now becomes evident. Shadow people: Just the term conjurs many different visions in people's minds and often brings feelings of fear.

Reports of shadow people have been around for centuries, but stories and sightings of these elusive entities are coming out now more than ever. In recent years, The Rhine Research Center (the Institute for Parapsychology) has gotten hundreds of reports from people claiming to have seen Shadow People. Paranormal research groups are witnessing them during investigations, even being able to photograph some. What does this mean? Why are Shadow People being seen so much more now than in previous years? What are Shadow People???

Well, what they are is not known, and you will receive a different answer from each person you ask. But, most paranormal researchers do agree on one aspect: Shadow People are not human entities. We don't believe they're ghosts. Don't believe they're demons either. But, on a scale, we'd say Shadow People lean more towards the negative side, especially given the bad feelings we get from the vibes they give off. It's suggested that they're pressence means something bad, or that something bad will happen.

One thing that makes them so interesting is the consistency of reports of their sightings. Year aften year, from person to person, the description almost always stays the same. Shadow People can appear as a dark, whispy indistinguishable shape or mass or a silhouetted shape of a person. It is said that they can appear with a hat or a hood.They have no facial features and no type of clothing. They're simply a "shadow". And they're darker than dark; so dark that their silhoutte can be seen in a pitch black home. They're often described as small in size, usually no more than a few feet tall, and if the eyes are seen, they're typically small and red. They stay (or come from) the corners of rooms, behind the tv, couch or chair, in lower cabinets, under beds or in closets. Most of the time, they do nothing... just watch the living, though there have been reports of people being attacked by Shadow People. Unlike some ghosts, Shadow People seem to be very aware of our presence and at times seem intent on making us feel frightened or uncomfortable. They seem to appear where other paranormal activity has been sighted or where there is or has been a great deal of stress, grief or tragedy. It is also theorized that they feed off the energy of people. This makes sense, especially when coupled with the theory of them appearing where a tragic situation has occurred. There are negative emotions or energy, so the Shadow People exploit this and grow stronger, thus appearing more often.

A Few Theories

Demons or other negative spirit entities:

The dark, foreboding feelings that one gets from seeing Shadow People have led some paranormal researchers to believe that these nasty entities are something sinister. Their presence means only evil. This theory goes even further to say that Shadow People are simply demons in disguise. If so, what is their purpose?

Ghosts

Some researchers say that Shadow People are actually ghosts that were evil when living or have returned from hell to torment the lives of humans.

Time Travelers

Another theory is that Shadow People are from the past of future, have found a way to travel in time or have found a "time-slip" or "portal".

Astral Beings

One belief is that they are the spirits of people having out-of-body experiences. Some believe that we all travel out of our bodies while we sleep, so our essence is traveling and unknowingly showing ourself to others in different time levels.

Aliens

This one is a very common belief. Aliens are visiting us and watching our every move. Perhaps they are studying us, our lives, our bodies. The one's who support this theory believe that the aliens are disguising themselves as Shadow People and are waiting their opportunity to abduct us.

Beings from Another Dimension

OK, even most scientists believe that there are other dimensions out there, and that there are very thin vails between the planes of these different dimensions. The one's whi support this theory believe that Shadow People have either found a way to enter into our dimension or have acidentally slipped into "our side".

So naturally, we don't truly know what Shadow People are. But hopefully as time goes on, we'll discover something solid that may be able to answer years of questions.

If you've had an experience with Shadow People, please let us know. Publishing your story could really help the other people who have had or are having to deal with these nasty little beings. And of course, we will not reveal your identity.

Please Don't Tell Me Ghost Hunters Is Staged!

Hey guys,

Just came across this post when I was looking for some info about an upcoming article. It's apparently a site that bashes GH. I watched the video and wow, I have to say that I was honestly shocked.

Could it be true? I love Jason and Grant. I sure hope they haven't turned into Most Haunted. Most of the video I didn't believe. But when it comes to the end... wow, I was really stunned.

Watch for yourself and please let your comments be heard. I hope this isn't true. Jeez... not Jason and Grant!!

Tell me what you think.

Redesigned Site is Ready

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to write a quick post to let everybody know that the site has been redesigned and is ready. Go on, take a look and give us a shout-out! Visit the main website here.

We spent a lot of time getting it to its current state, which we feel is excellent. If you're familiar with us, you know we don't pat ourselves on our back. But, I have to say that our web designer has done a phenomenal job (that would be me :) ). Everybody in the group has had a hand in its design, including Chase, Adriana, Brad, Alex, Courtney and others.

We've packed it full of interactive stuff. We wanted to go beyond it being just informational. We wanted to keep the original good info there, and we did. But we added more, like watching full episodes of paranormal TV shows like GH, GHI, Paranormal State, as well as some classics like Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone and some Sci-Fi stuff. And the biggest thing is that it now has the power of a full social website. Consider it "Social Paranormal". When you become a member, you can set up your own profile, add music, add photos and videos, communicate with others and access members-only sections. You can also have your own status, sort of like facebook. And you can sign in using your OpenID or, through an API partnership with Facebook, you can use your Facebook user ID.

Needless to say, we're real excited that we can hopefully offer a little something for everyone. And don't worry: The help and support is the same. If you need help, we're still here.

So go on, please take a look, sign up to become a member. Let us know what you think; we're always open to ideas.

Here it is: www.theparanormalsociety.org


Happy Hunting out there!
