Questions & Answers
We promised to answer some of your questions on our website - and here they are! Though we didn't get too many questions asked this time around, we hope that at the next "One Dark Night," we get even more.
1. DO YOU TALK TO DEMONS?
We've never had the occasion to actually talk to demons; however, when we investigate a haunted location, we do speak to "whoever is there" while conducting an EVP session - so if a demon happens to be around, I suppose they would be included in the "whoever" element! As for speaking with a demon -- we would certainly speak with one if one came through. But it would be pretty creepy...
2. WHAT ARE ORBS?
There are so many conflicting ideas and "definitions" floating around out there - much like the orbs themselves! Orbs are commonly defined as balls of energy, indicative of spirit activity or spirit visitation. Some paranormal groups have photos of dust particles, bugs, lens flares, condensation anomalies and other such "orb-like" objects posted on their websites so that people can see that not all round glowing objects on pictures are actually "real" orbs. Some groups do not even believe in the existence of orbs at all, believing them to be just photographic "glitches" or other camera issues. What do WE think they are? Well, we are open-minded enough to believe that they may certainly be indicative of spirit energy in an active location based on evidence that some authors/groups/societies have gleaned on the subject. Certainly we also have experienced what we define as "orb activity" at active locations -- so we can't rule out the possibility that orbs are indeed balls of (spirit) energy. We just seem to think that if they are present at active locations, then they are probably present elsewhere as well -- kind of like spirits themselves which are always around, but you just don't always see them or know that they're there. Check out some of your old photos -- it's amazing how many people are just now discovering the presence of what they feel are orbs in their older photos. Since more and more people are talking about them, and there are more paranormal shows on television that present evidence of orbs, people are looking back and noticing things that they haven't noticed before...
3. ANY SIGHTINGS IN KESWICK, ONTARIO??
YES! We've had many odd and unexplained things occur in Keswick - and people in Keswick have related some interesting sightings to us that they have had as well. Most of our photos on the site have come from Keswick and surrounding areas. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to include some "personal experiences" on this site so that others can read about them and share their experiences as well. We are also hoping to share a couple of "true stories" at the next "One Dark Night" this October. Stay tuned!
4. HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE WHAT'S SEEN IN HORROR MOVIES?
Not really. There have been rather frightening faces that we've seen on playback in photos and on video that were rather unsettling - but nothing earth-shatteringly horrific! Our take on some of those frightening faces? Well, we seem to think that if some spirits/entities were a little upset with our presence in their space, then they would, being spirit energy, be able to show themselves as perhaps intimidating or frightening to us just to make sure that we know that we are not particularly welcome! We get it, though - which is why we always make sure to reinforce to them that we are not there to hurt them, upset them, or intrude. (But some of them, I'm sure, really still don't like uninvited guests being in their space - whatever the reason!)
5. HOW DO WE GET A NEGATIVE CURSE REMOVED FROM OUR HOUSE AND FAMILY?
Most of the time, we work with people who require validation as to what is occurring in their home/business/personal space. In this case, it sounds like you are certain that your house and family are cursed - so validation isn't key here. Removal is the ultimate aim. We have worked with people who are able to "cleanse" houses and areas of negative energy, and to be able to feel when something just isn't "quite right". If you feel that your house and your family are somehow cursed, then we would suggest working with someone who would be able to neutralize and dispel that negative energy. Our mission is to help -- and if we can connect you with someone who can help in this way, then we encourage you to pop us an email or a message on our Facebook page so that we can begin the process.
6. HOW DO YOU HELP SOMEONE MOVE ON?
Interestingly enough, some paranormal investigators joke about being "paranormal psychologists" by being able to help ghosts/spirits by encouraging them to let go of whatever is holding them back from moving on to the next level of existence. In a simple way, some of our most "haunted" clients have had success by simply speaking to whomever is there and telling them that they do need to let go of whatever attachment is preventing them from leaving either the house or the person they don't want to leave. If the aim is to get that spirit to move on, then respect and care is to be given to that spirit, and research into why that spirit cannot seem to "let go" should be undertaken. Is that person attached to someone? Why? Are they attached to an object that they loved while still alive? What is it and why? Finding out why someone is having difficulty moving on is part of the process of helping them to do just that. We try to ask the right questions in order to assist them into ascertaining why things are happening and how they can be rectified. You help someone move on by finding out why they cannot seem to...
7. SPECIFIC HAUNTED LOCATIONS IN GEORGINA?
Truth is, some businesses and more public or well-known locations in Georgina do NOT want the attention that a ghost or rumoured haunting will bring them. At the last OND3, we had someone bring a flyer to our attention, since the ad shot of this particular local business in Georgina seemed to show a "spectre" in the upstairs window. We are in the process of validating this and will be speaking with the owner of this business very shortly. Once we have any details, and if the owner is open to and happy to speak about whether their space is "active" in any way, we promise to share! As for more public locations? Well, we do know that DeLaSalle beachfront and tunnel are purportedly active -- and that the ghost of Stephen Leacock is said to haunt not only the theatre on Gwendolyn Blvd. in Keswick, but also his gravesite at St. George's Church in Sibbald's Point. Gosh, there are many haunted public places in Georgina -- and even the skies are apparently rife with UFO's! A public investigation is going to be scheduled ASAP - we are firming up details and will share on our site and Facebook page as soon as we can.
