Case Updates / Evidence - Spirit Rescue International

EVP Release - Spirit Rescue International

Neath Investigation - EVP

This EVP was collected by the team during the first Neath, Wales cafe on-site investigation. Some of the team on Skype actually heard the voice through the computer...because of that, I'm not going to classify it as a disembodied voice or audible voice phenomenon (AVP) just yet, though there does seem to be a bit of an echo. Other voices have been recorded during the two on-site sessions...as well as video anomalies. The UK team is scheduled to be on-site again on Saturday evening.

As well, we are conducting another investigation in Grayson County, Texas. A remote viewing session was conducted this past week and the SRI investigators and associates will be on-site this coming weekend. This case involves continued non-terrestrial encounters by the client and his family.


These case can be followed at Spirit Rescue International Case Logs - Astral Perceptions. Registration is required to access case logs and evidence.

Spirit Rescue International is a non-profit group that combines the resources of our affiliates worldwide in order to achieve a successful entity clearing. Our mission is to provide professional, confidential and ethical spiritual relief, including continued personal support and guidance at no cost to the client.

Illanelli Haunting Profile: Media Account and Recent Case Log

Irene Allen-Block
Excerpts from an article published in The Llanelli Star - 6/7/2011:

A series of online videos, which have received exposure through YouTube, show an "entity investigation" taking place at a Llanelli home.

Whistles, chirps and whispered words in Welsh and English are clearly audible in the video.

As things have continued to go bump in the night, the terrified occupants of the Llanelli house — a couple with four children — have called in a specialist.

That person is Irene Allen-Block, who lives in a village in Carmarthenshire.

"I have been able to identify spirits since I was 9 years old," she said.

"I knew I was able to do this sort of thing after having an experience when I was very young.

"I always knew my ability was special and that I was meant to do this kind of thing."

Mrs. Allen-Block has made three visits to the home of the family, who do not want to be identified.

"They are absolutely terrified," she said.

"The woman living there says she has not been able to sleep properly for three to four months.

"I try to explain to her that spirits feed off negative energy.

"Her husband has been continuously ill, sick and has even collapsed.

"The other night he said that he woke up feeling something squeezing his neck crushing his Adam's apple."

The real-life ghost whisperer has been a paranormal investigator for 40 years and says she does use some recording equipment to capture electronic voice phenomena and visual anomalies.

She also employs coordinate and scientific remote viewing, seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using subspace perception.

While visiting she said she had witnessed things moving around, and the family said things had even gone missing. "My investigations show two earthbound spirits, an old man and a child, and also a woman from the 1800s.

"We thought they were a family, but after attempting to channel the spirits, it seems like she is demonic and from an alternate reality or dimension," said Mrs. Allen-Block.

"We think the female may be holding the two earthbound spirits back.

"She whispers, mimicking members of the family, even when they are not there."

Mrs. Allen-Block claimed this kind of paranormal activity was a growing trend in Llanelli, with this being the second in the past four months.

"There was another big case recently at a large house in Felinfoel," she said.

"The client brought me in because anyone who had anything to do with the house ended up dying — even a repairman at the house fell off a ladder to his death."

"I managed to solve that case and now I want to solve this too.

A recent remote viewing at the house has also led Mrs. Allen-Block to believe there were ghostly links to a Llanelli pub.

"The viewing took us to a pub where there was a long bar. It focused on an old man looking angry. We believe it may be at The Vine on Station Road," she said.

Andrea Howells, landlady at The Vine, said there may be a link.

"We have heard quite a lot of noises over the years, but have always blamed that on the old floorboards," she said.

"You never know, there may be something going on here."

Mrs. Allen-Block is founder of Spirit Rescue International, a non-profit group that looks to clear spirits from haunted and entity infested locations.

"We check out the geography and then once we move the spirits on we counsel people if they need it — the trauma doesn't end for them, the fear is still there," she said.

"I have never charged a penny — I don't believe in making money from my gifts."

"You see so many TV shows these days which just exploit the dead. That is not what it is about."

"I get satisfaction when I see smiles on faces," she added.

Llanelli Haunting Update:

Hi to all....prior to the remote view session on Thursday June 2nd we conducted a quick meeting with those team members present who were also going to listen in on the remote view. There were a few developments from the on-site session the previous day (Wednesday June 1st).

First of all, the two days previous to the on-site session Irene and I had been discussing about how we were approaching this case and that there may be something we are missing. We completely broke down the evidence again and looked for avenues we may have missed. I came to the conclusion that Monday night (after staying up all night) there may be an occult aspect involved. I went back through several personal references that involved the occult and other information that had been passed down to me over the years. I then formulated a binding consecration as well as a protection talisman and blessing for Irene to use during the session.

Strangely enough, during the on-site session the client shared information that had just came to mind that was relevant...(be aware, we never mention anything occult related to the client or our suspicions during the entire session - as well as before or after) The client said that about 4-5 years ago, her niece, who was 7 at the time, slept over in the red bedroom (the bedroom where the activity has been strongest). The girl woke up screaming about a woman in white who stated that she was "a white witch." Another recalled event....the client husband was walking by his own house a couple of years ago, looked up at the red bedroom and saw a woman in white in the window. She also related that her first paranormal experience happened when she was 13 or 14, and that her brother used a Ouija board.

The client’s 2 year old daughter is also seeing apparitions. She says, "boyz here." When the client asked the girl if the boys were being bad, the girl said yes. So, the client told the girl to give them a smack if they are being bad. The little girl has done this on more than one occasion. She swings her arm as if to deliver an exaggerated swat and then her hand stops mid-swing, as if making contact with something, and the girl looks satisfied that she succeeded in hitting what she was the only one able to see.

During the on-site session, everyone present, even on Skype, became ill during some point. When reciting the blessing in the bedroom, Irene said she felt like her head was going to explode. The lights / orbs are unusual as well (in the bedroom, living room and hallway)….similar to sparks from a "sparkler." The living room, the bedroom above, as well as the adjoining wall and hallway seem to be where the entity concentrates its activity. It has also been discovered that some parts of Llanelli have an underground river…the town was built on top of it.

Remote View Session - 6/2/2011

Irene and I conducted a remote view on this case on Thursday June 2nd. SRI team members Karen, Tammy, Joe and Vanessa listened to the session.

Irene set the target coordinates for me and monitored the session. We systematically executed 4 phases in order to perceive the target and to gather as much information possible.

In Phase 1, the coordinates (a set of two - four digit numbers) were given to me...from which an ideogram (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept) was developed.

Irene initiates the coordinates

Primary descriptor: Hard
Advanced descriptor: Energetic
Color/texture/size: Red and yellow, no idea of size - a feeling of static at my feet.

Irene repeated the coordinates.

Structure, hard, manmade
Colors: blue, yellow, white
Soft, size 5' x 5'

Irene repeated the coordinates.

Subject, soft, manmade
Colors: blue and yellow
Soft, and grainy too. Sort of rough, like porcelain with bumps or ridges
Size: maybe 1' at most. Irene said she recognized what this was now.

Irene repeated the coordinates.

Subject, semi-soft, man-made, blue, yellow, with a little white - “getting darker around it, hard to tell the colors now."
Porcelain with bumps on it.
Size: hard to tell, may be smaller than a foot.

Irene repeated the coordinates.

Subject, semi-solid, manmade and energetic
Colors: blue, little yellow, maybe a little pink too.
Bumpy (or ridges) on surface, over smooth porcelain.
Size: 8-10 inches - can't really tell - definitely has ridges or bumps. Irene says she knows exactly where I’m at.

In Phase 2, the target vignette was narrowed by probing for sounds, textures, temperatures, colors, luminescence, contrast and smells. Through this information I was able to focus in on any verticals, horizontals, diagonals, topography, mass and energetics as well as my overall 'feeling' of the target.

Sounds: I hear something hard dragging on a surface. It drags a little, stops, drags a little more. It is not loud.

Texture: A larger smooth surface that is on or is a bed...dark and smooth.

Temps: cool now - was warm when I first started the session.

Visuals: Colors: light and dark blue, yellow

Lum: dull

Contrasts: medium

Taste: Sugary, like candy...peppermint candy (Tammy later said she was eating peppermint patties…interesting)

Smell: dusty, old smell, not intense.

Magnitudes: Verticals: walls, to the right a wall.

Horizontal: dark surface

Diagonal: left = stairs

Topography: no

Mass: feels heavy

Energetics: a buzzing sound, very light, fades in and out.

I said "Something just flashed through." He got a whiff of something, burned inside of his nose.

Irene said she heard the buzzing sound the previous night, and it was fading in and out then, too. Irene asked me how I feel - "Worried." So, she asked me to put down his pen for a moment.

In Phase 3, I made a rough sketch or drawing of what I was perceiving. At this point, the sketch included the hallway and stairs. There is also a human hand near the ceiling pointing ‘up’. At this point not much else was seen.

In Phase 4, I went into a deeper perception of the target. This included sense, magnitudes, emotions, physicals, subspace and concepts. The observations are starting to come together into a primary deduction.

Senses: hear client’s distinct laughter - hear her running up the stairs.

Magnitudes: hallway and stairs, looking down the hall, and up the stairs.

Emotional: senses exhaustion, frustration

Physical: something sitting in the hallway. An object? It is on the floor. Like a playpen, leaning on the wall.

Irene asks if it is "a stair gate, to stop the baby?" I don’t know.

Concepts: viewer feeling: feel someone or something wants to help.

Subspace: something floating near the ceiling – two fluffy, white masses - one up and down stairs; one in the hall to the living room.

Senses: louder buzzing sound.

"Like dense smoke in a shape, but not human form. Fluffy, off-white dense cloud of smoke. Beige color? One moves down stairs. Other hovers near ceiling in hall and ducks in to living room."

Concepts: “Somebody sees them. Somebody knows they are there." (Irene says later that client reports that both she and the baby have seen these fluffy white smoky clouds.)

Perception: "It's not good." Now they have faded away.

Senses/Subspace: someone calling from upstairs. I began coughing – feels like something in my throat, felt like a feather, and my eyes were watering.

Senses/Physical: "OMG. Sounds like horses running in the hallway. It was really LOUD!!" I described it as something running past, sounding like a horse's shoes on the road.
(Irene mentioned that Lorna picked up the sound of a horse on the camcorder during a visit to location. Got it on tape, but it was too big a file to send it over.)

Irene initiates new coordinates:

Structure, hard, man-made
Colors: red, brown, white
Textures: smooth
Size: a room

Irene repeats the new coordinates.

Subject, very mushy, natural
Color: brownish red
Texture: no, and no size indicated either

Irene repeated the new coordinates.

Subject, very soft, natural and man-made
Colors: red, brown
Textures: hard, smooth
Size: 7' high, 3' wide

Irene directs me to go back to Phase 2.

Sounds: hear glass rattling.
Textures: smooth and hard surface
Temps: very cool
Visuals: Colors: red and brown
Lum: bright
Contrast: clean, high contrast
Taste: no
Smell: spicy
Magnitudes: Vertical: it goes up and down...it's a cabinet in the bedroom
Horizontals and topography: None
“It is heavy in mass. Surprised how bright it was.”
Energetics: actually feels like a glass door rattling.
Viewer Feeling: Curious

PHASE 3 – Draw a sketch of the bedroom

PHASE 4 - Draw a line under what you already wrote in Phase 4.

Senses: "Sounds like crying - a kid crying. I heard that rattling too.”

Magnitude: Dimension/sizes: see a cabinet 7' high by 3 and a half feet wide.

Subspace: Two images - "Remember, I saw a hand pointing upwards in the hall before? Now, in a doorway, I clearly see a hand pointing downward. To the right and even with the door, pointing down. Where I saw the hand pointing up before should be directly beneath this."

Concept: Irene asked, "How does this feel?" I say "Like a warning,or trying to direct him somewhere."

Emotional: heard something over my computer...the word "NO!" Now I hears the words, "black horse" in English - heard "NO" again.

Irene direct me to examine the subspace and to draw a line from B (the hand I see) to A (myself).
Probe A - then B - then Senses.

I saw the hand go down into the wood of the wall, as the one that was pointing upwards moved up.

Irene said, "Probe with your hand, the one that is not writing and try to touch the hand you see pointing up."

It looks like a hand, but it is rough, wet, cold, and solid. Smells like.....(there is a very long pause here.)
"I hear: ‘Tell them.'" I asked Irene to hold on.

"There is a BIG DOG in the hallway. Like a Labrador...no, a Newfoundland. Big, dark dog. Just standing there - the voice says, "They need your help, tell them!"

Irene directs me to mentally ask, "Tell them what?" I hear "No, you KNOW!"

Irene has me probe the subspace column again.

I don’t know what this is - the dog stood up and turned into a stone pillar. Irene asked, "A pillow, you say?" I laughed and clarified, no, a pillar, as a pillar of stone.

Irene tried to get me to concentrate on the concept again. Is it good, bad, evil? I can't tell. It is moving around, morphing, saying repeatedly, "No, you KNOW!"

(Tammy noted at this point she heard another phrase of the squeaky voice pleading, "Please, help!" So, she is wondering if she is hearing some other voice than the one I'm communicating with.)

I heard again, "No, you KNOW!" again.

Subspace: Irene says “go back to the A to B drawing. Move along 5' along the line.”

Senses: Irene says, "Try to touch it".

Concept: Irene asks, "What do you feel? Is it good, bad, or what?"

I can't tell. "WAIT, it moved behind me!,"

Something is moving towards me. Irene urges me to imagine I’m being surrounded by white light.

I am starting to see the woman from the bar (The Vine, a previous RV location). She is in front of me, staring. Irene says, "Ask what it wants."

"Mabel" is what I hear.

Irene says, "Ask what it wants. Probe the concepts/senses. How does it feel? Good, bad, sinister?

"She died," I say. "She is up to something. Revenge."

Irene keeps telling me to probe concepts.

"She thinks she was killed. She was good in life. Can't understand why she died. Knows she's dead. Pissed off. Wronged. Looking for something. 1919 date."

Irene directs me: "Feel her essence. Open all your senses. DON'T talk to her. Feel the concepts of if she is good, bad, sinister. Don't think...just let it happen.”

"Sinister is the best word to describe it," I say. "She has a plan for something."

"Is she dangerous to you?" Irene asked.

(Tammy says she heard the word "NO!" very clearly in response.)

"You know."

"He did it!"

Irene says: "Engage it in conversation..."

As Irene is telling me how to talk to the woman in white, the woman seems to be talking too. Irene says, "Try to tell the woman you understand...be part of her...become part of her..."

NOTE: Tammy says she heard the squeaky voice gleefully and loudly say, "YES!" and the hair raised on her arms. She felt she had to tell Irene she was hearing the voice and what it just said. It felt important. Tammy realizes this is not going to be a bit of welcome information, but felt compelled to tell what she heard, as it felt threatening me.

Irene said she was glad Tammy had spoken up. That if that is what the woman in white wanted, she well may have had that planned all along. Honestly, I was very disappointed, as I had wanted to go on with the connection – now it had been interrupted.


Irene continued and told me, "Feel it. Call for Archangel Michael."

Irene asked what I was feeling. Warmth flowing up from below me, making me numb, but it is a comforting feeling.

The woman in white was beginning to change in appearance – back to the purple dress and her facial features started to soften, as if she was again alive.

Something bright, like a light bulb, flashed in my left eye – I felt a overwhelming presence standing on my left side. This agent of benevolence responded to the call.

"There is nothing there now. The woman is gone."

Irene asked me to describe the vibration.

Irene asked me if I saw the woman's eyes as she was changing? I said they were completely dark and changed to light. Changed quickly as I had earlier described.

I commented that I briefly felt hot, and Irene said that is exactly what she wanted to hear, as that signals a rising of the vibrational energy while performing a clearing.

(Tammy says she heard a voice clearly say, "Lon!" but she doesn't interrupt)

The atmosphere is light and warm now - don’t feel the entity there at all.

NOTE: Now we wait and see what happens....though I do sense that there is another entity at the location. Hopefully we can take care of this sooner than later...Lon

-----

Is this 'Mabel'?
The following is direct commentary from SRI Team Mediator - Tammy P:

Lon states there may still be some residual echoes or something else there. Maybe something still there. Lon didn't get a good feeling about those other two shapes, but feels SHE is GONE.

What could not be identified as good or bad, is not evil now. What may be there, is not the woman. Lon feels the worst problem is gone. He doesn't feel the same energy. He thinks the family will also sense it.

However, there may still be something mischievous left there.

Irene wondered if perhaps Mabel lived at the Pub in 1919. Hard to find out, with the massive deaths from illnesses known as that time, TB, influenza, etc.

Vanessa said she felt the overwhelming peaceful calm feeling when the energy left. She was just glad Lon was alright.

So, Lon said, two weeks to wait now, to see if the house quiets down.

Lon mentioned, when he saw the hands, he saw the word "Green" or "Gren" Tammy then said she had seen the hands as green. Lon said he saw them as Caucasian. Lon said when the finger was pointing down from upstairs, the letters of the word faded away.

Irene asked Lon, "How was the hand pointing the last time you saw it?" Lon said it was pointing up.

Irene shared that the target tonight was directed to locate the subspace entity and to get it cleared away. She was very proud and pleased that Lon was able to do this work, as he had never done it before.

Lon said that tonight, when the woman first showed up, she was walking from somewhere other than the bedroom or living room (the hot spots.) Maybe she came from the kitchen.

Lon also mentioned that last night he looked up another word that has been recorded on videos, "du," which means "black." There have been sightings of black horses, Lorna heard horses neighing in the front room. And tonight there was a black dog visual and Lon heard the words "black horse." May be something to that.

Tammy mentioned the connection black dogs have with demonic entities in folklore. Lon said that typically a black animal is known as a familiar to witches or those who dabble in the occult.

Irene had Lon verify that when he heard the woman speak, he did not see her mouth moving, but it was communicating telepathically.

NOTE: after this was all said and done, I ran across this link - http://www.kidwellyhistory.co.uk/Articles/Greenwood/Murder.htm. Interesting...Lon

Update: Llanelli, South Wales Haunting - Spirit Rescue International

This is an apparition reflection from one of the upstairs rooms

Spirit Rescue International is continuing to work the haunting at the Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales residence. In the past week there has been another remote view conducted as well as two on-site sessions, one of which was a channeling and attempt to move at least one of the entities:

Irene and I conducted a remote view on this case on Monday, May 16th. SRI team members JD, Karen and Joe listened to the session.

Irene set the target coordinates for me and monitored the session. We systematically executed 4 phases in order to perceive the target and to gather as much information possible.

In Phase 1, the coordinates (a set of two - four digit numbers) were given to me...from which an ideogram (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept) was developed. The target was narrowed down to a structure then quickly to a room in the client's home. I was seeing black, orange and felt a smooth and fuzzy surface. This was most likely the sofa and cushions in the living room...the hot spot of the house.

In Phase 2, the target vignette was narrowed by probing for sounds, textures, temperatures, colors, luminescence, contrast and smells. Through this information I was able to focus in on any verticals, horizontals, diagonals, topography, mass and energetics as well as my overall 'feeling' of the target. In this instance, I was quickly directed to another location where I sensed the smell of tobacco smoke and beer...also the taste of beer. People were talking and milling about. There was also a very long 'counter'...which I determined to be a tavern bar.

In Phase 3, I made a rough sketch or drawing of what I was perceiving. At this point, the sketch included the bar, the people as well as machine of some type. There was also a dart board.

In Phase 4, I went into a deeper perception of the target. This included sense, magnitudes, emotions, physicals, subspace and concepts. The observations are starting to come together into a primary deduction.

I very soon went into a subspace perception mode...and noticed a older man sitting in a far table wearing a fisherman's hat, pipe in mouth, with a beer. He was looking at the people in the bar and was not happy about them been there. I truly sensed that the guy is upset about something while keeping his eye on certain people at the bar. The thought 'he took her' lingered in my mind. There was also a dirty, dampish smell and an emotion of jealousy.

Very soon after noticing the male spirit, I perceived a women starting walking around. She was in her late 20's, wore a long purple dress with a white ruffle around the neck, maybe turn of the century time period. The women is showing me a young child in a postmortem photograph. The female child was in a white morning gown laying in a casket, lots of flowers....the dates of 1883/1885 were perceived. The women does not appear to be upset when showing the photo. The child has light colored hair and looked to be 2 or 3 years old.

The woman seemed to be trying to tell me what happened to the girl but I can't make sense of it. She indicated that someone (the girl?) was very sick and suffered an agonizing death. The woman would continue to walk around the tavern and make it point that I look at the photograph each time she went by me.

I then look out a window and notice a horse and wagon. The old man is very upset at someone.

I was directed by Irene to conduct a time line exercise...starting at 1895 and ending at present day. I got to 2003 when the women showed the photograph of the girl again saying she suffered and needs to tell what happened to the girl. The old man says the client's name (the husband) seems to be blaming him for the little girl's death...I notice the client at the bar with his friends.

The session was ended. The information was presented to the clients during an on-site visit on Wednesday, May 18th. Further proceedings will be posted as soon as new evidence is scrutinized...Lon

-----

I'm writing a synopsis of the on-site session on Wednesday May 18th because, frankly, Irene is literally wore out. JD, Karen and myself monitored through Skype.

It was determined, as a result of the RV and team consultation, that an attempt to clear at least one of the entities was warranted...though, it isn't exactly clear what the situation is. There are many factors, as well as recent information, that need to be considered.

The clients, including one of the children, have experienced spiritual encounters this week. We want to get this situation resolved but also want to make sure that it is done correctly and effectively.

Irene did make an attempt to channel and possible clear one of the entities but there were elements that influenced the effort...including the unveiling of the negative force that took us by surprise.

I was able to perceive the spirit as Irene started to channel...a female entity that came from a room upstairs and literally glided down the stairs to the living room. As soon as the entity entered the living room Irene started an extended, diabolical laugh as she was beguiled by this negative force. She later explained that she was overtaken by the odor of rotting flesh...understandable since the entity exhibited continued decomposition as it hovered behind Irene. There were other circumstances involved as well...but it was apparent that a connection was not going to be made that evening. This channeling session was audio recorded and embedded below...Lon

It is our intention to go on-site ASAP in an attempt to clear the entities at this location. There are other videos posted at Spirit Rescue International YouTube channel and all SRI case logs at the Astral Perceptions forum

Spiritual / Paranormal Activity: Ouija Board Debate, Haxby Haunting Resolved and RVing Osama bin Laden


Is the Ouija Board Controlled Subconsciously?

What's the secret to a Ouija board? Up until World War I, the device was treated like a harmless parlor game, but people began debating the board's paranormal properties after American Spiritualists touted it as a divining tool. All occultism aside, we still argued about whether the board's "messages" were manipulated consciously or subconsciously.

To settle the argument, Sunker Abaji Bisey, an Indian scientist, invented a "spirit typewriter," or a ouija board that used blank typewriter keys instead of letters. In a patent from 1922, Bisey wrote that he developed the device as a means to receive so-called spiritual transmissions without human interference. Each key was attached to a letter or number hidden under the circular tray. While using the ouija board, the operator would spin the device several times before allowing "the spirits" to type on the blank keys using the handheld triangle. That ensured that the operator could not in any way see the letters the Ouija board was supposedly selecting. At the end of the session, you could pull out the ribbon to see if there were a message on it. The spirit typewriter seems to have vanished--we're not sure if it ever succeeded in debunking the powerful Ouija board.

Scientists now see the Ouija board, which is used in most corners of the world, as an example of the ideomotor effect in action: an unconscious physical movement. Basically, we're doing it without knowing we're doing it. Except when people know they're doing it. Which they sometimes do. - popsci.com

The Body in the Bed - True Story or Urban Legend?

“A man and woman went to Las Vegas for their honeymoon, and checked into a suite at a hotel. When they got to their room they both detected a bad odour. The husband called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smelled very bad and they would like another suite. The manager apologized and told the man that they were all booked because of a convention. He offered to send them to a restaurant of their choice for lunch compliments of the hotel and said he was going to send a maid up to their room to clean and to try and get rid of the odour.

After a nice lunch the couple went back to their room. When they walked in they could both still smell the same odour. Again the husband called the front desk and told the manager that the room still smelled really bad. The manager told the man that they would try and find a suite at another hotel. He called every hotel on the strip, but every hotel was sold out because of the convention. The manager told the couple that they couldn’t find them a room anywhere, but they would try and clean the room again. The couple wanted to see the sights and do a little gambling anyway, so they said they would give them two hours to clean and then they would be back.

When the couple had left, the manager and all of housekeeping went to the room to try and find what was making the room smell so bad. They searched the entire room and found nothing, so the maids changed the sheets, changed the towels, took down the curtains and put new ones up, cleaned the carpet and cleaned the suite again using the strongest cleaning products they had. The couple came back two hours later to find the room still had a bad odour. The husband was so angry at this point, he decided to find whatever this smell was himself. So he started tearing the entire suite apart himself.”

“As he pulled the top mattress off the box spring he found a dead body of a woman.”

This has to be counted as one of the most terrifying of the Urban Legends because it is one of the only of the creepy crop that actually has factual validation. Although there are no incidents that mirror this one exactly (none having been reported in Vegas), there have been numerous reports of stories similar to this appearing in newspapers around America.

In 1999, the Burgen Record reports of an incident of two German tourists, who had complained of a terrible, rancid smell in their room. Despite complaining, the couple ended up staying the night, sleeping above the decomposing corpse of a Saul Hernandez, 64, who was found in a similar hiding place as the body in the Urban Legend in the Burgundy Motor Inn in Atlantic City, another American gambling Mecca.
The most recent story paralleling the Body in the Bed was reported in March, 2010 in Memphis. ABC Eyewitness News reported:

“On March 15th, investigators were called back to room 222 at the Budget Inn, where the body of Sony Millbrook was found under the bed. Police say she was found inside the metal box frame that sits directly on the floor after someone reported smelling a strange odor. The box springs and mattress fit into the top of the bed frame.

Room 222, according to investigators, had been rented 5 times and cleaned many times by the hotel staff since the day Millbrook was reported missing. Homicide investigators say Millbrook appears to have been murdered.”

Haxby, North Yorkshire Haunting Resolved - Spirit Rescue International

Hi to all....Irene and I conducted another remote view for this case on Thursday, May 5th. The entity had already be removed from the location but we wanted to check for an open portal and close it if found.

Irene set the target coordinates for me and monitored the session. We systematically executed 4 phases in order to perceive the target and to gather as much information possible.

In Phase 1, the coordinates (a set of two - four digit numbers) were given to me...from which an ideogram (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept) was developed. I was able to perceive a basic description of the target.

In Phase 2, there was an attempt to narrow down the actual target by probing for sounds, textures, temperatures, colors, luminescence, contrast and smells. Through this information I tried to focus in on any verticals, horizontals, diagonals, topography, mass and energetics as well as my overall 'feeling' of the target. I was drawn to an area of the house (the upstairs)...eventually into a bedroom.

In Phase 3, I made a rough sketch or drawing of what I was perceiving.

In Phase 4, I went into a deeper perception of the target. This included sense, magnitudes, emotions, physicals, subspace and concepts. It was determined that a column of static-like energy was present in the master bedroom. This was most certainly a portal...it's was determined that an attempt would be made to close it.

I was again taken back to the target in order to observe the portal energy while Irene closed it. In a matter if a few minutes, the energy level decreased, folded 'in on itself' and eventually dissipated. NOTE: I heard someone in the room make a noise...so I hope we didn't startled the client during the session.

We will continue to monitor the location...the clients have been given instructions on how to protect themselves and home from negative energy.

At this point, the case is considered closed...Lon

Were Psychic Spies from US National Security Agency Targeting Osama bin Laden?

AmericanChronicle - by Gary S. Bekkum - Multiple sources claim to have been approached by US government officials concerning a 21st Century post-9/11 paranormal program, allegedly housed within the secretive National Security Agency (NSA).

An independent source affiliated with the Washington Post confirmed some of the information previously provided to STARstream Research (SSR) and STARpod.org.

According to various accounts, shortly after al Qaida launched attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, US and UK based intelligence agencies approached persons known for their 'extraordinary human performance' capabilities. Among the self-proclaimed 'psychics' contacted by intelligence sources were Uri Geller, who had previously worked with the US CIA, and Chris Robinson, who had provided warnings of terror events to British authorities.

Uri Geller identified his intelligence contact to writer Jon Ronson as "Ron," who is widely believed to be Ronald S. Pandolfi, a CIA analyst (according to the New York Times) who later worked at DIA under the Director of National Intelligence.

Within a year of Geller's 'outing' of Ron to Jon Ronson, the UK Ministry of Defence was looking into the potential of using psychic intelligence, as was later reported by the BBC and other mainstream media sources.

Meanwhile, the United States was also re-investigating the use of paranormal powers for intelligence collection, following a reported warning of the 9/11 events made by Chris Robinson, hours before airplanes crashed into and destroyed the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

Later Robinson would report that his "seven year" contact with US intelligence had been indicted on espionage charges. Based upon Robinson's claim and other information provided on background to STARstream Research by several sources, including former intelligence officials and their civilian associates, the alleged government sponsored psychic spy research is directed by NSA's SIGINT division from Fort Meade, Maryland. Research centers supporting the program are allegedly affiliated with Johns Hopkins University and The Monroe Institute. Several sources also mentioned John L. Petersen's The Arlington Institute think tank, which had been identified in US government files as a source on government psychic programs.

NSA-related sources first revealed the existence of the NSA paranormal program to investigative author Gus Russo, in 2007.

According to Russo's sources, the NSA considers the use of 'psychic information' as a legitimate form of signals intelligence, suggesting a transmission medium may have been confirmed by NSA scientists. During the cold war, several Soviet scientists claimed so-called torsion fields stored and transmitted human perceptions, allowing for "remote viewing" of distant locations. In the 1970s the CIA sponsored research into remote viewing and later the American Defense Intelligence Agency tasked a small group of psychic intelligence officers against targets in the Soviet Union. Some of the DIA STAR GATE psychic spy files were released through the CIA in 2004.

One of the DIA briefings for the Undersecretary of Defense is available to view at STARpod.org/PsycheLeaks.

According to Chris Robinson, some of the psychic targets of interest to US officials included locating Saddam Hussein and finding hidden Iranian nuclear installations.

In recent years, several former government officials who had been involved with now declassified psychic spy programs have expressed interest in the use of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) of the human brain during remote viewing experiments. In 2008, STARstream Research arranged for a meeting between a former CIA official and a Chinese researcher in Beijing, who had proposed an experimental test to determine if human perception was capable of achieving the superposition of two parallel worlds. According to modern physics, quantum theory predicts that the world is constantly splitting into a collection of different universes called the multiverse, where different possible outcomes are all taking place.

Spiritual / Paranormal Activity: Haunted House For Sale, Bloody Mary and the Haxby Entity Case


Haxby, North Yorkshire Entity Case - Spirit Rescue International

Family of three was experiencing a variety of disturbing paranormal phenomena. There was a conference call between the clients and the SRI team that evening...we attempted to get an understanding of the activity:

Irene Block (verbatim notes): This client contacted me last night concerned about the goings on in the house, apparently the problem has now been going on for the last 2 months causing the family distress and lack of sleep.

I had some of the team link up with him on Skype (the son was able to load it on his phone). While talking I asked the 2 of them to walk around the house keeping in contact with us on the son's cell phone; they went upstairs and into one of the bedrooms where they described a negative energy as being hit by an electric field no sooner had they detected it; the energy moved. Again they would find it in another room only for it to shift as soon as they detected it. This went on all through the upstairs of the house and it ended up they were having to chase it from one room to another. And at times they felt as if they were being touched, at other times they had the feeling of some pressure on their heads as if something was trying to crush them.

To be on the safe side I decided to stop this chase and asked the client to place the cell phone on its own in one of the rooms then to go downstairs and be quiet while we as a team were able to listen in. The team were instructed to make no noise at all during this exercise. We were able to hear knocks, bangs, footsteps and movements in the room. At one time something came very close to the phone and it sounded as if it was being moved. at other times unearthly sounds were audible like growls, sighs amongst other strange and disturbing noises.

The sense I got from this was that there was more than one entity in the house at least three, one was more dominant than the others and seemed to be controlling them, I have come across this type of thing many, many times in the 45 years I have been doing this work, and like to call the dominant one a puppeteer as it likes to control the lower ones like puppets, so this will be the term I will use in the reporting of this case.

It was obvious that these entities knew we were there and used us and the clients for their own entertainment as at one time I had asked the clients to stand still on the landing above the stairs and describe what was being felt. To me it was like the game of Blind Man's Bluff where a child is blindfolded and has to touch the nearest kid who then in turn would put on the blindfold all this happening as the other kids would run around the blindfolded one sometimes coming close but just keeping out of reach and at times touching and running away. This is exactly the sort of thing that was happening to the client and his son, one second the energies would come close enough to be felt and the next they would shift at what seemed to them a rapid speed only to return from a different direction sometimes touching them on the head or the face.

All the time this was happening it was to me like watching something unfold I was able to feel the vibrations that these energies were on and each time I tried to reach them they would escape me. This told me that they are not going to be easy to clear. I need to be in tune exactly with them, the energy radiating from the puppeteer is negative this is a trickster. The other energies were more mischievous. Whatever, last night they were all, in their own way, having fun at our expence.

The team picked up on some interesting information and this coming Thursday evening Lon and I have decided to do an RV to see if we can throw more light on the situation.

-----

Irene and I conducted a remote view on this case on Thursday, April 14th. From the beginning of the session I sensed that there were going to be challenges. I was calm and relaxed but had some trouble concentrating through several of the phases.

Irene set the target coordinates for me and monitored the session. We systematically executed 4 phases in order to perceive the target and to gather as much information possible. Normally this procedure goes smoothly...was not going to be the case here.

In Phase 1, the coordinates (a set of two - four digit numbers) were given to me...from which an ideogram (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept) was developed. The target was narrowed down to a subject and a structure in tandem. It was difficult to perceive characteristics with these targets. I attempted to keep the descriptions as simple as possible but I was simply not able to do so.

In Phase 2, there was an attempt to narrow down the actual target by probing for sounds, textures, temperatures, colors, luminescence, contrast and smells. Through this information I tried to focus in on any verticals, horizontals, diagonals, topography, mass and energetics as well as my overall 'feeling' of the target. In this instance, I was directed to an unknown 'area' where I heard talking and chanting...I later noticed three people. I detected black, white and a touch of red color as well as shiny gold metal. There was also a bitter herb taste and 'rotting' odor. I perceived a flat surface...a table.

In Phase 3, I made a rough sketch or drawing of what I was perceiving. At this point, the sketch included the objects in the 'area' including a table with two gold candlesticks, a 4 ft. golden sword embedded vertically in the table (point up) and a golden plate.

In Phase 4, I went into a deeper perception of the target. This included sense, magnitudes, emotions, physicals, subspace and concepts. The bitter herb was identified as dill and an acrid vinegar after taste.

At this point I started to feel nervous...shaking, not from fear or frustration, but just an odd nervous sensation. I noticed that the area was now a room....possibly 17th century English. There were rugs on the floor that reminded me of old tapestries. I started to hear quiet 'laughter' in my right ear and noticed a grinding sound nearby.

The room had a small fireplace or hearth and stone walls...very smoky. I start to feel groggy as if I have been drugged. I am laying back on a bed or table with the sensation that I'm being held down, though no one is around me. At this point I feel a sharp pain in my right forearm...it has been cut and is bleeding. I also sense 'electric shocks' in my rear end and back of the legs.

I am able to look towards the fireplace and notice the figure of a woman standing on the right dressed in a long black dress with a wide white collar. She has long dark hair and is drinking from a long stemmed goblet. The odd thing is that she looks to be an apparition. There are two very young girls dressed in similar black dresses, on their knees in front of the fireplace looking directly at the woman. I start to feel that they all should be sad about something, but they are not.

At this point, Irene instructs me to draw a 'time line' starting at the perceived period 'A' (1621...unknown location) and ending in real time 'B'. I start to move towards the present day and stop at period where I sense death, sickness and despair (1634...near London). I continue to move on the time line. In subspace, the woman again appears as an entity and is standing with shrouded corpses, all around her (1666...London). There is a feeling of indifference..."this has happened before and will happen again." I'm then standing by a river...I see an arched bridge and town on other side. It is a park-like setting with a carriage and horses. The woman is now standing by a tree...again as an apparition. She looks at me, places her forefinger to her lips 'hush', turns around and walks away...then fades away. (1701...near London).

After this I was unable to concentrate any further. The connection between Irene and I was simply lost....spiritually and literally. We feel the entity may have cut the Skype connection. We tried to reactivate the session with new coordinates but there seemed to be something 'blocking' my ability to work...Lon

ADDENDUM: SRI team members JD, Tammy and Karen listened to the session through Skype. BTW, Tammy kept notes of the session which are invaluable when I need to recall events while posting here.

The aftermath of the remote view session was to discuss the findings and for Irene to make an attempt to remotely 'move' through the residence. The following notes were recorded by Tammy (verbatim notes):

JD said that scenes Lon has been describing here are just like ones from her Tarot card deck. Irene and Lon agreed they are dealing with a trickster entity. JD made the connection that dill and vinegar is brine for pickles. Irene said 'pickle' means someone who is naughty, mischievous.

Sword and sconces on table top is an altar. Tammy asked Lon if the woman by the fireplace was drinking blood taken from his arm. (not sure...Lon)

Irene, JD and Lon then made the connection that lying in bed having blood taken might have been a scene from the past involving bloodletting, before a person dies they did that to save them.

Irene asked Lon about the staircase in the house they RV'd last night. She tried to take the stairs: 1, 2, 3, 4...Lon's dogs began barking like crazy. You could hear people faintly talking on Skype, but it could have been someone's TV or radio, as it sounded like a radio that kept changing stations.

Lon sensed 1634, 1666, 1701 years for activity with this entity or property. Sensed this trickster entity has bothered a lot of people. The 1666 date Lon thinks was near London, connected to the entity and the vision of the woman with all the corpses surrounding her. (BTW...The Great Fire of London was in 1666).

Lon sees the entity always the same: pale, dark hair, black dress, white collar. When the woman gave Lon a "hush" sign with her finger to her lips, he lost everything.

When Lon saw Irene go up the stairs astrally, he thought the woman kicked at Irene, and Irene felt the rush of energy at that time.

New Try - Irene and JD

It was all silent, and when it was over, Irene gave her report and JD and Lon told what they experienced.

Even before the session began, Irene had shooting pain through her head, at the end of her eyebrow, not really the temple area, but mostly forehead.

Irene was in the living room to start with.

She stood at the conservatory door and something hit her and went past very quickly. She started to go up the stairs. She fought with every step...as if her foot kept catching and tripping up with each step, and as if she would fall down each step.

Irene felt panic in the bathroom.

"Find the Portal! Find the Portal!" kept repeating in Irene's head. The family were all in bed. Irene kept being driven to look everywhere but did not see a portal.

Irene was drawn to daughter's room, who used to live there. The room is empty now, and the entity uses this space to escape when it wants to be left alone.

As Irene searched downstairs, always being driven to find a portal, three times something rushed at her.

She went back upstairs, this time taking 2 steps at a time, and having no difficulty as before.

Irene checked the loft, and felt nothing there. The insistent message to "Find the Portal!" being said over and over was driving her crazy.

The entity then rushed at Irene very quickly and passed by, staying far enough so that she could not see it visually. But there was a strong sensation of being watched the whole time.

JD said she followed Irene throughout the house this trip, and tried consciously to hold the entity back, but it kept distracting her and 3 times it got past her controlled blocking it from Irene.

Irene said there was a great deal of anxiety and frustration from not being able to locate the portal she was being told to find. She felt there are two portals, actually. One is at the top of the stairs. The other may be in the conservatory.

JD said she was consciously trying to send any earthbound spirits at the house to Irene to be cleared. Irene was not aware of this, just the message to "Find the Portal", which may have been coming from the earthbound spirits wanting a way out.

Irene said the energy and activity seemed so much faster upstairs than downstairs.

Lon said he didn't feel the portal was very big.

JD felt the urgency for the portal to be found was from the earth bound spirits.

Irene was rushed as she tried to enter the Conservatory (a glass-walled room the family living there had built some 20-plus years ago).

Lon thought the portal may be in the floor of the conservatory. Feels there is something unsettling about the ground there. He kept seeing a flash in there.

The daughter's empty bedroom has residual energy in there from this controlling, trickster entity.

Irene heard laughing at the top of the stairs as she was climbing. She also heard muted music, which may have been coming from the son's room, if he left the radio on.

New Try

Irene tried to enter at the dining room table.

JD said she was not allowed in, kept suspended above the house, felt like a hand holding her back at her chest.

Irene said she kept jerking back and forth, trying to get in the room. Finally, put her hands on the door frame and forced herself into the room. She felt as she walked, it was one step forward, 3 steps back.

She went to the conservatory. There was a sense of electric prickles all over her face. Lon felt the electric prickly feeling on his mouth and saw light spots darting all over. Irene saw orbs flying all around.

As Irene brushed at the electric prickly feeling on her face, she looked and felt all around. Saw a dark mass at the end of the living room. As she got close, it dissipated. She walked around an oblong shape in the center of the room, like a coffee table. Went toward the conservatory again. Got hit by an electric field in her face again.

Pain behind her eyes too.

Could have been a portal in the conservatory. Definitely one at the top of the stairs. And the entity stays in daughter's empty room when it doesn't want to be disturbed.

JD asked, what would disturb it? Is the family religious, having religious practices? Irene said no.

Lon felt there was something coming up from the ground in the conservatory. He said the vibrations in that room are out of whack.

Four years ago, Irene helped this family with a non-human entity, but the Conservatory was one area they had no problem with.

Lon felt, if the entity opened a new portal in the conservatory, it is bringing up spirits it can completely control or letting them go if it can't control them. Plus, it has two human beacons of energy to feed on in the house, so it is happy.

Irene feels the entity is only imitating an earthbound spirit. She got to within 3 feet of it, and it did not feel like an earthbound spirit.

Irene will plan for future sessions at this house.


NOTE: The client has informed us of a photograph he took in the back yard 22 years ago...three year after they moved in and a few years before the conservatory was built. It is posted below.


Information has also surfaced that a church was built on or near this location in 1621...and was destroyed by fire. The deposition of the church contents, crypts and churchyard are unknown. Please note that this overall area has a recorded history that reaches back to the mid-1st century and includes Roman occupation, Viking invasions, Norman warlords, Royal squabbles, religious upheaval and civil wars...Lon

-----

Irene Block (verbatim notes): From the moment the client contacted me on this case I began working on calming down the energy in the house. This is something I do with all cases. It helps when the time comes for me to clear the entity. The family from this day on for the first time in weeks reported being able to sleep easier in their beds, something that often happens when I do this.

Wednesday the 27th April

The previous Remote View session that we had done was worrying me and I decided the time had come to delve deeper into what was happening in this house. As I started to work I felt a raise in my vibrations it soon became obvious to me that I had reached a level that I had not intended to reach, a level I normally reach only when I clear.

Within seconds I was in the clients house at the foot of the staircase then it happened and this I was not expecting I saw myself standing on a stone floor. I was no longer in my clients home. I had no idea where I was at that moment, as I looked down at my feet the floor was covered with Rose petals. The atmosphere was gloomy and dull there was a sadness about this place.

I began moving in a circle round and round this floor all the time watching my feet and the Rose petals strewn about. I could hear in my head the nursery rhyme 'Ring a Ring a Roses' repeating and as I moved I began to sing along with this voice in my head repeating this rhyme over and over. As I did this I felt an energy shift. When this shift took place the atmosphere changed, within my vision everything was lighter the dullness was gone and the sad feeling had lifted.

The following day the client contacted me and reported that the whole house felt wonderful all of a sudden, I decided not to tell the client what I had done until I had spoken to Lon about it and I was certain of the events that I suspected had taken place.

I then told Lon about this experience and with his help it soon became apparent to both of us exactly what had occurred.

-----

On Thursday, April 28th, Irene contacted me in order to tell me about her experience the previous night.

She had decided to conduct an astral perception session at the client's location. During her session, she found herself at a location with a stone floor and rose petals scattered all about. As well, she continually heard and sang the nursery rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses" (or "Ring Around the Rosie") which, traditionally goes:

A ring, a ring o' roses,
A pocket full o’posies-
Atch chew! atch chew!
We all fall down


Many have associated the poem with the 'Great Plague' which happened in England in 1665. The invariable sneezing and falling down in modern English versions have given would-be origin finders the opportunity to say that the rhyme dates back to the 'Great Plague'. Rose petals were scattered and rose garlands were hung near corpses during the period in order to mask the smell of death. As well, a rosy rash was a symptom of the plague, posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease. Sneezing or coughing was a final fatal symptom, and 'all fall down' was exactly what happened. (The line "ashes, ashes" in alternative versions of the rhyme is claimed to refer variously to cremation of the bodies, the burning of victims' houses or blackening of their skin)

If you remember from the remote view, I perceived the entity surrounded by many shrouded bodies and the year 1666. The 'Great Plague' started in England in 1665. As well, I had noticed the scent of roses throughout the session (I even commented on roses in the bathroom). Also, it was confirmed that a church was built in 1621 (a date I also perceived in the RV) in the vicinity of the client's house. The stone floor of this church may have been what Irene perceived. During the period, especially in the countryside, plague victims were housed in churches before burial.

The client says that the family is sleeping soundly and have noticed no recent activity. The client also commented today that his son (who is definitely a spirit 'beacon') has been experiencing a rose-colored rash for the past two months. Physicians could not diagnose or the cause of the rash. The client stated that since the day SRI got involved with the case the rash has steadily dissipated and is now gone.

I feel that Irene's recent astral perception session finally persuaded the entity to move on. We plan to remote view the location again just to make sure any remnants of negative activity and/or an open portal are no longer present.

JD will offer instruction and support to the family in order to sustain a pleasant environment...Lon

-----

Irene Block (verbatim notes): This has been a very strange case...the info was not given to the client until tonight. Lon was able to throw light on my experience the following evening after it happened but when we spoke tonight with the client and he told us for the first time about the rosy coloured rash that his son had had for the last 2 months and the fact that he had seen 3 doctors who could give no answer on what it was or what was causing it, stunned us...plus the fact that in the last couple of days it has disappeared completely well that was amazing!

What happened exactly that night "could it be that, what happened with me was all that was needed to move this entity on, was it that the entity just needed that acknowledgement of the plague and someone knowing what had happened to it at the time of death? maybe, but I think we will never know completely". But then it;s not our job to question...it's our job to help them find their way.

Historic home - with ghost - for sale

communitypress - One of Clermont County's (Ohio) oldest houses, an architectural landmark said to be home to the friendly ghost of a girl, is for sale.

The asking price of $900,000 includes the 4,000-square-foot manor house, a four-car garage, a guesthouse, an outbuilding called a summer kitchen, a tobacco barn, a fishing pond and 98.5 acres, much of which is wooded.

The two-story brick house, built nearly 200 years ago by brothers John and Edward Salt, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

"The architecture is obviously very unique," said Lisa Daniel Allen, a real estate agent who grew up with four siblings in the house purchased in 1972 by their parents, Jack and Janell Page.

Most striking are 18-inch-thick walls that rise along the sides of the house like steps before meeting at the peak of the roof. So-called step gables are more common in Europe.

The interior, which lacked electricity and running water when the Pages' bought it, has been remodeled. The four-bedroom, three-bath house has a modern 40-by-20-foot kitchen, which includes a dining area.

Eight rooms have fireplaces, but just two are functional. Original features include mahogany handrails in the stairwell, Allen said.

The manor at 2042 Ohio 222 gave the name to the nearby hamlet of Saltair, with the suffix said to derive from the Aire River in England. After their parents immigrated from England, the Salt brothers were born in Kentucky. The family arrived in Clermont County in 1796.

Records conflict on whether the Salt House was built in 1814 or 1826, but the bricks, stone and timber used in the construction came from the surrounding land, Allen said.

John Salt harvested trees and raised hogs. He would build a flatboat with his lumber, load up hogs and head down the Ohio River from Point Pleasant to New Orleans, where he would sell everything.

He made at least 52 trips to the former French colony of Louisiana by boat, returning by foot 13 times before his death in 1859, records show.

"We found French coins dating to the 1800s in the yard when we dug up the old oil tank in 1972," said Allen, who was 12 when her parents bought the property nearly 40 years ago.

Jack Page died last year, and Janell Page, 81, is selling the homestead. An open house is set for 2-4 p.m. May 1. Details: http://tinyurl.com/salthillfarm, or call 513-675-8366.

The house is about 5.7 miles southwest of Bethel, and it takes about 35 minutes to drive to downtown Cincinnati via U.S. 52, Allen said.

"I see this house as somebody's retreat," Allen said. "It's so convenient to downtown. You get off work and drive out to meet your family and hang out in the country all weekend."

A back deck overlooks the pond and a distant valley. The property draws lots of deer, wild turkey and rabbits - and it might have been a hunting ground for Indians. "We found a lot of arrowheads out in the yard," Allen said.

A second house, included in the sale price, was built for a tenant farmer. "It's about 900 square feet and has a couple of bedrooms," Allen said. "You could have a caretaker live there and mow the grass."

As to the ghost, it appears infrequently - and has always been pleasant, Allen said.

"I have only seen her twice," Allen said. "She was walking in an upstairs bedroom. She appeared to be about 12. She had a long white dress on and blonde hair. She didn't speak to me."

The Ghost in the Machine Shop

boston.com - A local couple and their troupe of self-styled ghost hunters say they've been communicating with the spirit of a 12-year-old boy that taps "yes" and "no" in response to questions and has caused a flashlight to turn on and off repeatedly.

Wayne and Lynn Homer, whose Attleboro Paranormal Investigations is housed in a downtown industrial building, say they discovered the spirit they call "Andrew" after multiple members of their group saw what they described as an apparition in a darkened fourth-floor factory about a month ago.

They say the spirit answers questions by making tapping noises -- even identifying chocolate cupcakes and ice cream among its favorite foods.

"I'm naturally skeptical, but this stuff seems pretty blatant to me," said Wayne Homer, who along with his wife took up ghost hunting as an avocation. The pair, who have about a dozen followers, use low-light cameras and sensitive electronic equipment to search out hidden images and disturbances in electrical fields. Lynn Homer and Cody Desbiens, a 16-year-old intern, began conversing with what they believe might be a spirit after hearing noises coming from a freight elevator.

Last week, the Homers made a video recording of a flashlight going on and off by itself as interviewers asked questions of the spirit. When asked during the video if he remembered Wayne Homer, who had worked in the vacant building when it was an active factory, the flashlight appeared to turn on brightly and then switch off.

When Lynn Homer assured the spirit there was "nothing to be scared of," the light turned on again, then off.

The group has also taped "conversations" with the spirit in which tapping noises are heard in response to questions.

The Homers say they've been able to learn an increasing amount about the spirit during the short time they've been in touch. Most of the information comes from conversations in which ghosthunters asked the spirit to tap once for yes and twice for no.

"The name Andrew just came to me," Desbiens said. The Homers said subsequent taps confirmed the spirit's name and age and indicated the apparent ghost might have been in the building for 40 years or more.

The Homers, who investigate strange happenings and possible hauntings as a hobby, aren't saying for sure they have a ghost on their hands. But they've amassed some intriguing evidence.

"It's interesting that the responses we've been getting are immediately after a question is asked," Wayne Homer said. "If there was a long gap between the question and the answer, we'd discount it."

The Homers say their research hasn't revealed why the spirit of a child might be haunting an industrial building. However, the building is near railroad tracks where there have been fatalities in the past.

Urban Legend? 'Bloody Mary'

“When I was about 9 years old, I went to a friend’s for a birthday/slumber party. There were about 10 other girls there. About midnight, we decided to play Mary Worth. Some of us had never heard of this so one of the girls told the story.

Mary Worth lived a long time ago. She was a very beautiful young girl. One day she had a terrible accident that left her face so disfigured that nobody would look at her. She had not been allowed to see her own reflection after this accident for fear that she would lose her mind. Before this, she had spent long hours admiring her beauty in her bedroom mirror.

One night, after everyone had gone to bed, unable to fight the curiosity any longer, she crept into a room that had a mirror. As soon as she saw her face, she broke down into terrible screams and sobs. It was at this moment that she was so heartbroken and wanted her old reflection back, which she walked into the mirror to find it, vowing to disfigure anybody that came looking for her in the mirror.

After hearing this story, which was told very scarily, we decided to turn out all of the lights and try it. We all huddled around the mirror and starting repeating “Mary Worth, Mary Worth, I believe in Mary Worth”. About the seventh time we said it one of the girls that was in front of the mirror started screaming and trying to push her way back away from the mirror. She was screaming so loud that my friend’s mom came running into the room. She quickly turned on the lights and found this girl huddled in the corner screaming. She turned her around to see what the problem and saw these long fingernail scratches running down her right cheek. I will never forget her face as long as I live!!”

A tale that makes the audience fears their own reflection. It always comes down the old adage of ‘curiosity killed the cat’. There is something inherently scary about the idea of something coming out of a mirror or television screen, like it is some parallel world, or perhaps a world that is the opposite to ours, as used by such films as The Ring. The idea of an opposite, parallel universe gives us our closest representation of hell. Bloody Mary brings forth the idea that the evil spirits of the world are captured within the glass that capture our own images, and creates the fear that not only they can be called forth into our world, but that perhaps, after death, we will find ourselves trapped behind the glass.
