Paranormal Investigations
Ade's page
Well i thought it was about time i started to write something, It's been a busy year for us as a group a lot has happened and i think we are going from strength to strength. We are picking more up and working better as a group as they say practice makes perfect.
I hope on this page to deal with the things that i practice and i suppose believe in, i must admit when this group started i was a complete sceptic but over the last few months i have started seeing things and experiencing things that i never thought i would like a short while back i walked into a local pub The Eagle and for a split second it was full of ww2 airmen!!!huh!!! any way the first thing i will deal with will be Dowsing ...i will return.
Dowsing.
I first tried dowsing rods in the early nineties it was a heritage open day at Pengersick castle in Cornwall, we were in the main bedroom and there were some rods lying on an old oak settle so i picked them up held them out to look like i knew what i was doing and they started going mental.
I suppose it was this that got me into the paranormal that and having a sister who was once a white witch before she became a Jehovah's (never could get my head round the switch). So when we formed our group it seemed natural for me to develop my dowsing skills more, i looked at rods on the market and they were around the £7-£10 mark so next best thing wire cutters and a length of next doors fence. I have two pairs one about 12" long and the other 15" i have lent them to other people on investigations and they all say that the rods seem to be charged up, i suppose a bit like a battery and they say they can feel the energy running through them....strange.
I now find that i get the same same results from one rod as i used to with two i ask it to show me where spirits are and it points the way when i enter the force field it moves from side to side and when i am in the force field it feels as though it is vibrating, of course if you were using two rods they would point apart when entering and cross when you are in the middle. Anyway thats me on dowsing there are plenty of good books out there but the best way is just practice...I'm sure everyone has the ability.
Next up am i becoming a believer, back soon.
Sceptic or Believer
I must admit i am becoming more of a believer with every investigation we carry out, i have started to see and hear things i never thought i would when i first started investigating i should really change my profile to believer but i am probably having trouble admitting it!
As i said earlier i have seen a pub full of airmen i have had my hand held by the spirit of a small girl, something has blown in my ear and i have been pushed and had my clothes pulled on numerous occasions. A few months back i believe i saw a figure looking at me and smiling and was amazed that i was not in the least frightened or shocked .I'm not sure what is left to happen to me to finally convince me but i have a feeling it's going to happen really soon. When it does i will tell you.
I think i may deal with the studying of footage, sounds and photographs next.

Photographs and Footage
We capture our footage using camcorders and webcams, we use Sony camcorders fitted with extra infrared lights and Rode directional microphones. We play the footage back on a television with at least three team members viewing it so that nothing is missed any interesting pieces of footage are logged and then edited on a computer using Pinnacle software any interesting EVPs are run through Adobe Audition or Sony sound forge the footage is then put on an external hard drive ready for posting on the website.
The webcams are run on three laptops using Active Webcam software this allows the recording to start only when there is movement and means we don't have to sit through hours of footage to see if anything happens, once again at least three of us study the footage to make sure we don't miss anything. The footage is then edited the same way as the camcorders.
We use Olympus digital cameras for our stills, the pictures are then loaded onto the hard drive and then viewed the same way as the footage. Most of the pictures of orbs are deleted due to the obvious amounts of dust or insects about but we still find a few that are interesting. We will run the stills through some filters if necessary.

Updates
Not much to report at the moment, I bought a trifield meter which should take better readings than the other two emf meters we have and i will try it out at the Norwich investigation. At the last two investigations i have been trying out some psychic art (can you guess what it is yet) and have been getting some disturbing results i am going to try and develop this more.I still have around 15 tapes of past investigations to put onto the hard drive but work seems to be using most of my time at the moment must get round to it one day.
