Season of Shadows Blog

The title for today’s entry reminds me of a spooky spot I’d love to visit somewhere in the deepest, darkest of woods. However, Autumnforest isn’t a location you can go to physically, but instead, she’s a person who’s created the virtual equivalent of that spooky spot amidst the woodlands. Comprised of all the things I hold dear: Halloween, the paranormal, and the creepy; Autumnforest’s Ghost Hunting Theories is a fantastic blog for Halloween buffs, horror fans and supernatural aficionados alike. While I could write a lengthy entry describing her knack for crafting amazing tales of horror, or talk about her mind-opening theories that shatter antiquated concepts regarding the paranormal; in this post, I’m focusing on her ‘09 Halloween haunt/party.

Being a fellow inhabitant of the Southwest, Autumnforest knows just how challenging it is to transform desert landscape into autumnal scenery. Capturing the more commonly associated feelings of fall and Halloween, amidst cactus and rocks, isn’t always easily accomplished, yet she manages to pull it off without a hitch and is a great hostess to boot! I’m busy enough tending to my yard haunt on Halloween night, but she manages to find time for decorating the yard, taking care of trick-or-treaters and entertaining party guests. I wonder if she’d like to bring her talents to New Mexico on October 31st? I could always use an extra hand.

In all seriousness, her haunt has a lot of great elements — the graveyard scene and haunted doll room being two of my favorites. I know she has plans to expand even more for Halloween 2010 on the scary doll stuff and I can’t wait to see exactly what she has up her sleeve.

Whatever you do, whether you’re in the mood for Halloween, horror or theories on the supernatural, you gotta swing by Ghost Hunting Theories. It’s indeed the virtual equivalent of that sweet, spooky spot way back there in the forest.

Continuing with another paranormal installment of “In Search of,” this episode deals with audible forms of communication from the “spirit world.” Nimoy takes us on a journey through disembodied sounds, phone calls from the dead and communication through a variety of electronic devices.

While our airwaves were already very polluted with physical forms of communication when this episode aired (1981), at least, at this particular time, cell phones and the like could not have been to blame for causing spirit voice pick-ups.

With recorded spirit voice captures reportedly dating back to the 1950s (a time when airwaves were a lot “cleaner”), it seems there is some legitimacy to this form of communication. Due to some extremely intense personal experiences with disembodied voices (both through recordings and real time audible encounters), I believe in this phenomenon.

Admittedly, some of our recent recorded captures from the last few weeks have proven to be interference or random pick-ups from stray electronic devices. However, the ones we believe to be “spirit voices” appear as direct, follow-up responses to posed questions about intimate or obscure subjects.

When these specific forms of responses “appear,” for me, it all but rules out interference from physically based electronic devices. Not to mention, in our findings, disembodied voices (in EVP form), containing specific responses, have an altogether different sound, cadence, repetition and tell-tale click or popping noise about them.

To date, none of these unique characteristics have been found in any of our interference captures. So, there may be a way to decipher the difference between the two types.
