I left this investigation off knowing we would have to go back and discuss further what we were experiencing. I have decided to include the second half of this case with having Ray Rolando, my transmedium speak to you from his perspective and experience.
Although I am sensitive and able to have 'sight' and impressions, my job was to be more scientific and go on what I was told prior, during and after. Rarely does the transmedium have the opportunity to explain in greater detail, the case itself and usually the investiga-tor lays it out for the reader. Here, I would like to turn the spirit tables for a change and allow Ray to shed some new light on such an old, ever-changing and tattered topic.
He felt that there was no doubt in his mind that the spirits crossed to the light that night. He was left with the question to have me pose onto my father, what does it mean when a single home has power enough to allow multiple, yet separate, energetic manifestations in the house-hold?
Both Ray and I think the energy in the home is so crazy that the vortex is almost ever-present even though we crossed one family. What we didn't do is make sure that we ended/closed the vortex.
I now turn that spirit table onto my transmedium, Ray Rolando:
Ray asks the basic question of what is ghost hunting? According to Wikipedia http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&start=2&oi=define&q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost+hunting&usg=AFQjCNERNmwMDCDuK5hcY7X3I8l0gWYjyg" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_hunting, "Ghost hunting is the process of investigating locations said to be haunted."
"I suppose that makes me a ghost hunter. I never thought of myself as "one who hunts beings of the paranormal variety"; then again, I never thought of myself as a psychic, medium, or healer either… but I am.
A recently re-discovered psychic and newly discovered medium, I have recently "con-nected" with a very special individual. Her name is Alexandra and she happens to be the Original Ghost Hunting heiress to none other than her father, Dr. Hans Holzer.
Recently, Alex "gently suggested" that I join her on a ghost hunting expedition at a friend's house who has been complaining of apparent "unwanted energies" in her home that scare her grandchildren and "need to leave". Electronic toys turn on without manual manipulation and "beings" were apparently showing themselves to the kids. Little did I realize what I was getting myself into.
As "gently" as she "requested" my presence as a spiritual medium and translator of sorts, Alex's fiery personality (she is an Aries) led me on the front walk, up the stairs, and directly into the Energy vortex that was her friend's entryway. The two of us immedi-ately felt the presence of the cool visitors' energetic doorway in the oversized greeting space just beyond the actual front door. Though Alex is, without question, well more experienced than myself, I don't think either of us could have anticipated the events that would follow next.
Shortly after arriving, I would coolly mention to Alex that I wasn't exactly sure why she'd asked me to join her on this hunt. She said, "You don't know why I asked you to come?" Responding to my baffled expression, she calmly spoke again, "My father always taught me never to go on a Ghost Hunt without a good medium." I coolly replied, "But you are connected also." Alex smiled and said, "That is not my calling and I need you to translate what you feel as opposed to what I physically need to experience during the investigation." With that, we set our sights on hot and cold spots and the energies that surrounded them.
Slowly, we made our way through the home. From bedroom, to office, to den and kitchen, and ultimately into the living room where, finally, we made contact. Alex, calm, cool, and collected, yet eagerly determined, began to sense my mood altering; I was beginning to zone and pick up communication beyond the third dimension. But what exactly was I feeling, sensing, and gathering? It wouldn't be long before Alex turned and said, "Ray, waddya got?" I responded, "Alex there are six of them!" "Explain.", she said simply. I replied, "Well, there is a French woman present with her husband, two children, and a dog and a cat. She said they were persecuted in France for their beliefs and her practice of Wicca during the mid to late 1700's. The whole family was burned at the stake and they have used the high Energy field created by this enigmatic family to transport themselves here." With that explanation, the living room light began to flicker uncontrollably. No other lights were acting up. I will never forget what happened next; it had to be Alex at her best.
She began talking to the lamp and asking questions to see if the woman would communi-cate more to me. She slowly began to ask the ghosts to leave the home and told them that she understood they were scared but that they, too, were scaring the children in the home. Furthermore, she tried to explain to them that they were dead and did not belong in the third dimension. There was no clear response to Alex's questions about the family of ghosts' wishes and desires and why they were here. However, with each inquiry or statement she spewed, the lights flickered in response.
Each question or statement was followed with more flickering. And then, the woman spoke to me again. "You speak a lot.", she said. "Well," Alex replied, " yes I do." At that moment, Alex's impatient Arian persona walked directly up to the lamp and shut it off mid flicker! I tried, verbally, to stop her (I was not about to step in front of her for fear she would run me over). With the same guttural tone Bill Murray gave to Dan Akyroyd in Ghostbusters because his thoughts manifested the oversized Stay Puff Marshmallow Man, I uttered to my co-hunter, "Ahhh, Alex? I am not sure that was the right thing to do." Next thing I knew, the French woman was communicating with me again.
I turned to the homeowner and said two words, "Pickled beats?" She looked at me puzzled. I spoke again, "Do you guys often eat pickled beats?" She said, "No, but we made them yesterday." "You made them yesterday?", I asked, surprised. "Yes, why?", she retorted. "Because she said she can only leave if you cook pickled beats. She said she will use the energy in the aroma of the recipe to travel away from your home, but that this is the only way her family can achieve our wishes." The homeowner scrambled to the kitchen to look for leftovers to heat up. As she did so, the woman abruptly began to speak again, but not to me; rather, she just spoke aloud as I listened. "I haven't seen sunlight like that in years. Honey, kids, look at the light…" And just like that, the entire family crossed to the light. They were no longer ghosts, but became spirits of the Other Side. It was simply unbelievable; a story I would not have believed if I did not experi-ence it myself.
Alex's Arian persona told them they were no longer living and needed to move on. They needed a push - and they certainly received one; what an experience!"
My father was right way back in the late fifties into what began his pioneering days of being the original Ghost Hunter. One must be scientific and sensitive enough to explore a haunting and a place with paranormal activity; and the other person must be a validated transmedium that can interpret what happened and what the lost souls are in need of. They are also responsible for aiding the ghosts to cross over as leaving the situation alone would not benefit anyone. You must at least try.
Many often mix in demons to this equation, and yes, many evils do exist and perhaps this is when you need a back-up and call in your local priest and a ton of holy water! But, in all seriousness folks, people, places and things can be haunted or harbor negative forces that need a strong team to confront and hopefully relieve the situation bringing back peace.
The house has since quieted and I personally visited as there is still energy, but positive and one must understand, we have guides and family around us all the time. Were never really alone...not really. Some of us attract more then others depending on our environ-ments and social behavior's in life.
It's not always that way when we talk about Demonology and Poltergeists, as some may not want to leave...in that case I suggest, YOU DO! We can't fix all the places that have issues as in life, we can't fix everything but what we can do is try, learn and be educated as we move forward into the new year. There will be a new list of hauntings and old ones that still continue as we must forge ahead as strong individuals in the paranormal field, head on and take that challenge. What lays in-store for us is anyone's educated guess, but be assured it will never end and perhaps continues on in other dimensions and with other forms of life.
Always-Alexandra Holzer and Introducing Transmedium and Reiki Healer, Ray Rolando.
