The Paranormal

Paranormal: (circa 1920) 1. of or pertaining to the claimed occurrence of an event or perception without scientific explanation 2. 'beyond the normal' 3. the supernatural

 


 

“The terms we use for what is considered supernatural are woefully inadequate.
Beyond such terms as ghost, specter, poltergeist, angel, devil, or spirit,
might there not be something more,
our purposeful blindness has prevented us from understanding?"

  Louis L'Amour, The Haunted Mesa 

 

The Paranormal

Paranormal is a general term that can be defined as anything that it outside the realm of what can be understood using science's science’s current ability to explain or measure.  When people think about the paranormal, the subject of ghosts usually comes to mind right away, but this term is also commonly used to describe different kinds of phenomena, including ghosts/spirits of the dead, ESP, cryptozoology and UFOs, amongst other subjects and even the so-called “paranormal experts” cannot agree on a satisfactory definition.  However, for the sake of this discussion we will confine ourselves to those phenomena falling under the general topic of “spirit activity”. 

As with the term “paranormal” the term “spirit”, in general usage has a wide ranging application. The term “ghost” and “spirit” are often used interchangeably, but the difference might best be described by the simple axiom, “while all ghosts are spirits; not all spirits are ghosts”. 

In theory, ghosts originate from this realm of existence and are a manifestation of the soul or memory of someone once living that has died and these are the entities spirit mediums communicate with in the practice of Spiritualism.  (see: “Mediumship”)

By contrast, other types of “spirits or entities” may originate from a totally different realm of existence. These spirits seem to behave in a similar manner to the way we understand atomic particles to behave, moving backwards and forwards in time and space, fluctuating between energy and matter. The theories of quantum physics suggest the possibility of alternative universes and multiple dimensions from which these spirits could be originating and these spirits may embody a “quantum mind” wherein what we would describe as forms of energy may have a conscious awareness and be able to interact with those of different dimensions or even different universes. These spirits cannot be directly observed anymore than atomic particles can be directly observed, but can only be discerned by the footprints they leave, like the glow of fairies in the garden.  (see: “Nature Spirits”) 


 

"Paranormal events are just edges of the infinite we 'happen' to encounter."

C. Douglas Dillon

 

There are four terms commonly used by paranormal researchers to describe pathways by which spirits or entities may travel; “portal”, “warp”, “vortex” and/or vortices”.  As often happens with the paranormal, although these are commonly used terms there is no one fully accepted definition for any of these terms, nor agreed explanation for their phenomena. 

A “portal” is generally considered to be a type of “doorway” through which spirits manifest. Like spirits the portals appear to emanate energy signatures that are detectable by such investigatory tools  as voltage (ohm) meters and the like. Portals may be static in nature or may appear and disappear as do the spirits.  In folklore and mythology portals often manifest in sacred caves and grottos where the gods appear to humans, such as at the oracle caves of Delphi.  In man made structures, such as the quintessential “haunted house”, they may appear in walls, often where there was once a doorway or stairway in the current or even a former structure that was on that property.  They also may appear in the center of a room, seemingly emanating from the ground below.  Strangely, portals are often found in kitchens and bathroom leading some to speculate that water, or perhaps the plumbing that carries the water may in some way help facilitate the portal’s forming. 

  • Mirrors – There is much debate, with no clear consensus as to whether mirrors are portals to other dimensions. Since ancient times mirrors have been used for divination (scrying) and magic and are feared in many cultures for being able to steal the soul and should be covered when doing any spirit work.  Many people have reported glimpsing images of beings reflected in the mirror and believe these images to be spirits either trapped in the mirror or attempting to use the mirror as a portal, but since there are those who use mirrors in psychic attacks it would be prudent not to communicate with spirits using a mirror as a portal.

A “warp” is a type of conduit or channel though which entities travel, but is more commonly used when referring to UFOs than hauntings.  Fans of “Star Trek” know that a star ship’s "warp engines” allow the ship to move from the normal space of Einstein's theory of "general relativity" and enter into “hyperspace” where the limitations of the “space-time continuum” become suspended.  These warps in the fabric of space, commonly, but not accurately referred to a “wormholes” are thought to be passageways connecting galaxies, universes and perhaps even dimensions through which entities may be able travel.

A “vortex” is an anomalous form that often appears in photographs taken during paranormal investigations and are believed, by some, to be a gateway or door to the spirit world and the center of associated paranormal disturbances. They usually appear as a long whirlwind or column of light in a photograph. Some investigators believe the vortex can be used as a way for spirits to travel to and from the spirit world to the material world. 

The term “vortices” applies to certain vertex points on the Earth’s planetary grid. The concept of a planetary grid system dates back to the time of Plato who theorized that the earth’s basic structure evolved from simple to complex geometric shapes and that these shapes, known today as platonic solids are associated with the Earth’s “prana” or “life-force”. 

 

3 Categories of Paranormal Spirit Activity

 

 1) Possessions, where an individual is inhabited or “possessed” by an invading spirit or entity. (see: “Psychic Protection” ) 

2) Hauntings, where a place (or environment) is inhabited or “haunted” by apparitions of spirits or ghosts.  In general, most paranormal experts would agree that hauntings are spirit activities tied to a particular location, but that is pretty much where the agreement ends. Other explanations of hauntings often reflect differing ideas arising out of traditional religious and cultural backgrounds. This presents a significant problem in the field of paranormal investigation as the investigators prior religious or cultural assumptions about the nature of ghosts may unconsciously hinder a truly unbiased scientific approach to discovering the true nature of the phenomena being studied.

3) Gremlins, where a mechanical apparatus or electronic device, such as a television, computer or smartphone  is inhabited or “possessed” by an apparent invading spirit or entity. These entities hijack the operation of the device, in a manner similar to a human computer hacker, scrambling messages, altering information, deleting files and disrupting operations, seemingly for the purpose of causing havoc and manifesting negative energy in and around the human operators.
