Geek ghost hunting

This morning, when I was thinking about quantum physics, string theory, and how space clearing might work, I realized that this could be described as 'geek ghost hunting'. So, that's what I'm calling this now.

In a nutshell, I'm speculating that ghosts' bodies (or forms, or spectres) are made up of some physical matter, but there are far larger spaces between the molecules... if we can even describe them as 'molecules'.

Anyway, this could be why they can pass through walls without slowing down.

(I've seen a ghost walk through a wall. See the section about the ghost of the blonde girl, at
Bradford College Ghosts - Academy Bldg - Floors 1 & 2.)

It may be why space clearing works; perhaps the sound, incense, or whatever invades the spaces that they consider part of their bodies. So, they leave any place where that is going on.

(See the weirdest and most gruesome space clearing in which I've ever participated: Space Clearing near Worcester, MA .)

Maybe this is why we find more ghostly manifestations around water. Maybe the moisture fills the spaces with a conductive material, and--since we can measure them with EMF--it enables them to function better in our physical world. After all, at least 50% of our bodies are made up of water.

More 'geek ghost hunting' speculation: Babies are born with bodies that are 78% water. As people get older, they're made up of less water.

Is it possible that ghosts are the remaining physical essence, without the water and perhaps some kinds of fiber, as well?

I'm not sure. I'm often the first to admit that we're all making this up as we go along. Some of this seems nonsense, but some of it... I don't know, it resonates as a real possibility.

Bear Creek & vicinity

Last weekend, we went ghost hunting with the Texas Paranormal meetup group. Elmo Johnson has started a fine group, and it was great to visit these sites with Elmo, Jill, and so many other great researchers.

Bear Creek Park in Houston was the meetup location. From there, we checked Addicks Bear Creek Methodist Cemetery, Bear Creek Bridge (good sparkles), Langham Creek Bridge (EMF spikes, sparkles, anomalies, and eerie energy), and finally Beeler Family Cemetery (also some good energy, especially in back of the cemetery).

The biggest challenge is the bugs. The good news is, it's easy to spot them in photos, so not to confuse them with genuine orbs.

American Haunting

I'm feeling obtuse for a couple of reasons:

First, I'd seen the previews for the new movie, An American Haunting, and didn't connect it with the Bell Witch. While the tale of the Bell Witch lends itself well to dramatisations, I've never thought of it as colorful as the movie previews suggest. It looks as if they did a very good job with it.

Then, I didn't realize that my Bell Witch articles--first published at Suite101.com--weren't at Hollow Hill.

So, the articles are now online at Hollow Hill, and updated with new links and additional information. The eerie tale of the Bell Witch begins with the first of my four articles: The True Story of the Bell Witch.

I'd like to write more about the ghost if time permits, and my research is productive. But, I'm pleased with these four articles--originally written in 1999--and the background the provide to people who are curious about the new movie.
