More On Child Spirits

It has come to my attention that many of you are not convinced when I say there are no child spirits. I guess I need to explain and outline where I'm coming from. Remember I have always maintained that ghost hunting and all things related to it are founded in belief. There is no proof or direct evidence of the paranormal. We can only truly say that there are occurrences that we can not explain at this time. With that said I will explain to you my belief on child spirits.

Before we came to this earth we lived with our heavenly father.  We are his spiritual children with Christ being the eldest of us. We lived with our father and progressed as far as we could. We saw that he had a body of flesh and bone and we wanted to become like him. In order to do that a plan was set forth by which we could come to this earth and gain a mortal body. We were to come here to experience all stages of life from infancy to old age and all the mental and physical developments and ailments that go with it. We came here to learn faith and to keep the commandments which our Father has given us. We were given the precious gift of agency and could choose for ourselves whether we would do good or bad. In order to test us, teach us and to help us learn and gain faith, a veil was drawn over our memories so that we could not remember our life in the preexistence. Again I say in the life before this mortal one we grew and progressed as far as we could. We grew to full spiritual maturity. However, we were still innocent. We had not and could not learn faith there and we could not understand the difference between joy and sorrow because we had not yet experienced that. We needed a mortal body to learn all these valuable lessons. Since all progressed as far as they could before taking on a mortal body, there are therefore no child spirits. We then pass through this life learning these lessons. Then we die and pass into the world of spirits which is here on earth. Every man, woman and child that ever lived here on earth is still here. They are waiting to be reunited with their bodies. To be raised to immortality as was promised to all those who kept their first estate and earned the privilege to come here to earth to be tried, tested and learn.

If while on a ghost hunt you see a child spirit or photograph one it is a deception. Just hearing an EVP of what sounds like an immature voice does not mean a child spirit is present. A lot of people have what can be mistaken for child like voices. Remember, an individual that has died will maintain the same personality there that they had in life.

As far as deception goes remember there are 1/3 of are brothers and sisters who rebelled, being led by Lucifer, in the preexistence and were cast out and came to this earth to tempt and deceive us. They are eternally forbidden to gain a body and thus wish to share their misery with us. This is the source of all  child spirits. It is their desire to mislead us and prevent our return to our Father.

So be aware and guarded as you Ghost Hunt.

About Orbs

The truth about orbs. What can I say. 99% are nothing more than dust, water vapor, pollen or some such thing. Take a photo near a tree and the picture will be full of orbs. Is it spirits? No, it just pollen! Take a picture in a dusty cemetery, is it ghosts? No it is more than likely dust being kicked up. Even what looks like a clean house can have a lot of dust in it. These orbs show up  because most cameras used while ghost hunting have the flash built in and placed very close to the lens. The flash then illuminates the dust and the light is reflected back into the lens. The only way to eliminate this occurrence is to get the flash off the camera. Don't light your shots with the flash close to the lens. If possible bounce the flash off another surface so that you don't directly light the scene. For example, if you are in a house bounce the flash off the ceiling or a wall. It will still light the subject very nicely and eliminate the reflections from all the dust, moisture or whatever small particles are present. Also look for lens flare from these on camera flashes. Unfortunately a lot of cameras now days do not have the ability to use an external flash.

With that in mind it is important to know what to look for. Look for an orb that is self illuminated. You will see a bright border around the orb. Dust will have no such border. Just so you know this effect can be created by photographing a pin point light source out of focus. So be wary of anything some one shows you. You will also want to look for possible structures within the orb. Structures such as a face. Be careful you can take the noise in the shot and create an image in your mind when there really isn't anything at all. One other thing to look for and maybe the most important thing of all, is movement in the frame by the suspected orb. The orb will often leave a trail of light behind them. If everything is frozen in the time of the photograph then there should be no detectable movement by the suspected orb. But, remember all these anomalies can be created by just shooting an out of focus pin point light source against a black field and super imposed on a picture. So be wary.

There is one other source for orbs and this occurs with film. If the day is dry and/or cold you can get a static discharge in your film camera. This discharge will result in an orb appearing on the film. Even a line of orbs. Just so you know these static charges will appear bright with no definite border. The edges will be fuzzy. Like lines radiating from the center.

So don't be so quick about claiming that something paranormal has occurred when studying your photographs. It can more than likely be explained. If you do get a photo with a self illuminated orb showing movement, a bright border and with some structure inside (one of these anomalies or all of them) then you possibly have something that is paranormal. So look your evidence over very closely, think of all the things it could be, before declaring it paranormal.

Good Ghost Hunting!!!

Thoughts on EVPs

EVPs or electronic voice phenomenon are often put forward by many that there is truly another realm of existence on this world.  In fact EVPs are highly controversial. One side maintains that they are the words or phrases from beyond the veil. They feel that EVPs are of paranormal origin. The other side maintains that there are natural explanations for the occurrence. Such explanations as pareidolia, apophenia or simple hoaxes. Pareidolia is interpreting random sounds as voices. Usually in the language of the listener. Apophenia is finding significance in insignificant phenomena. EVPs are commonly generated by increasing the gain on recording equipment. In other words increasing the sensitivity. This increase in white noises gives plenty of sources for the interpretation of this noise as voices. It is said by some that it is easy to find phrases or words in this noise. In other words pareidolia. 


The mind has been trained from a baby to recognize patterns. So it makes sense that if you listen to white noise long enough  you will make out patterns which sound like voices. Simple interference can also cause some one think they hear disembodied voices. An example of such interference could be the reflected transmissions from the ionized trails of meteors. Recording devices are required by regulation to accept interference.


I have definitely heard EVPs that are very convincing. They seam to be intelligent responses to the questions asked in the sessions. So are EVPs paranormal or is there a natural explanation for them. The choice is yours. As I have said ghost hunting is a matter of belief.


I feel that there is something to the paranormal origins of EVPs. My belief is that the veil is thin in places. and their are those on the other side who wish to influence us.

Quartz, Granite, Magnetite, Limestone and Water Theories

There is a lot of talk about certain mineral deposits and flowing water contributing to paranormal activity. Quartz, granite, magnetite and limestone are some deposits which are theorized to contribute to paranormal activity.

Quartz is thought to be important mainly because of its electrical properties. These Properties are what make quartz so valuable in the electronics industry,  It also vibrates at a constant rate which makes it valuable in the time pieces that we have. The electrical properties exhibit themselves when quartz is under pressure. It is thought that ghosts can use the energy in the stone in their activities.  Granite is mentioned because of its high concentration of quartz. Porcelain also has as one of its ingredients granite.  Perhaps this is why porcelain dolls are often associated with haunted objects.

Magnetite is a common mineral and is a type of oxidized iron. It has magnetic properties and thus may be able to record activity and possibly be involved in a residual haunting. Playing back past events.  Iron oxides are a main ingredient in magnetic tapes which do capture EVPs.

Limestone is a sedimentary mineral often associated with the decay of living organisms. Some feel there is less of a chance that this is really involved in paranormal activity. It can react with certain substances releasing energy. These are usually acids. It is thought that this allows it to store energy.

The idea behind water is that it has to be flowing. This flowing water releases energy which some feel that spirits can feed upon.

Remember this is all theory so take it for what it is worth.
