This Saturday evening, beginning around 9pm (Central Standard Time), I will be leading a live investigation at our long term research site in Guthrie, OK. By going to http://www.prosinvestigations.com and clicking on the live webcams tab, you will be able to watch and hear the investigation as it takes place. The site is a 100 year old mercantile with known activity. The site was used in the filming of the movie Fingerprints.

Is There Evidence For The Existence Of Ghosts?
Is there evidence for the existence of ghosts? Why, yes, there is quit a bit of evidence! There are photographs that have been taken, but in all honesty, our best evidence is in something known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) wherein voices of spirits are imprinted on magnetic tape or on digital voice recorders. Also, during the second world war, voices of deceased pilots were heard coming over military radios. In regard to evp, some voices appear to be residual, whereas others are intelligent and interactive. At our PROS long-term research site I've had evp of an entity saying, "hi Jack." On another occasion, when the founder of our team and I were discussing my new RT-EVP real-time digital recorder, we caught evp of two entities having a brief discussion about it. A female voice is heard asking, "how do you beat a recorder?" and a male voice answers, "don't talk." This indicates that these spirits are aware of our tools and technology. We've had some spirits eager to interact with us through evp, and we've had some who did not want to interact with us and just wanted to be left alone. If anyone is interested in learning more about evp, I would recommend you read about Friedrich Jürgenson and Konstantin Raudive who were pioneers in the field of evp.
We don't know how they do it, but spirits are able to imprint their voices on magnetic tape and on digital recorders. For those who are interested, the Catholic Church investigated evp quite thoroughly and concluded that evp is real.
Another form of evidence is that of personal experience. In my investigations of the paranormal, I have been touched by unseen entities. I have also seen apparitions, and shadow figures. One night at the PROS long-term research site, I was with another investigator on the 3rd floor and we were conducting a sit-down session and I asked that if anyone was present, to please turn on the ghost light, which is actually a fishing light and demonstrated how to turn it on. The light was activated as requested, and I watched a shadow figure move past me on my right, and as it did so, the hair on my arm raised and I had the typical what we refer to as the 9 volt sensation as the entity move by me. I have also seen a lady in a long white dress at the foot of the stairs as another investigator and I were descending the stairs going into the basement, and at the time, there was nobody else in the building except the two of us conducting the investigation. I have also witnessed objects being moved, objects being thrown, as well as other paranormal activity. Granted that personal experiences mean nothing in and of themselves, but that changes when someone else with you witnesses/experiences the same thing and this has happened on numerous occasions.
The paranormal is very real and is not a figment of one's imagination, nor the result of gullibility or trickery as some skeptics have ignorantly claimed. We have conducted many tours of our site the tours included skeptics who, after having their own experiences or examined the evidence gathered at the time of the tour, have changed their minds and became convinced of the paranormal.

Provoking
Provoking a spirit during an investigation is becoming popular among some paranormal teams largely because they see it done on paranormal television shows such as Ghost Adventures. This is a very dangerous and unwise practice as it can lead to the provoker being violently attacked and even possessed. It can also make things worse for the client who would have to deal with the consequences of the provoker's actions after the investigative team leaves. More on this soon.
