What is it about ghosts that is so interesting?
Dave:I'm not certain that I find this fact more interesting than I do disturbing. The one topic that seems to be excluded from paranormal research, (and we at PPS are guilty of this as well) is what appears to be the spirit world's interest in watching the living.
This may be more unsettling for some more than others, but entities like to watch. We have numerous evps which indicate entities watch us shower, use the toilet and more than anything laugh at us in our bedroom activities.
This is not just a PPS theory. Of the four organizations that PPS is affiliated with, all four agree that we the living are entertainment for the spirit world. That means that 46 separate paranormal investigation teams have garnered evidence supporting the theory that nothing is sacred when it comes to entity intrusion into our private matters. That means 100% agreement on groups from the east coast to as far as the Mississippi River and two Canadian groups. We have heard evps which clearly made fun of the homeowner’s rather small genitalia and another from a group in South Carolina that described the client falling asleep on the toilet.
Is the ethereal world nothing more than a peep show, or an 'Ethereal Funniest Videos'? I don’t think so, but to think that entities who know no physical limitations aren’t watching us in the bathroom would be naive. So how would I advise anyone who is disturbed by this? I guess I would say to suck in your gut when you are alone too, because you never know who is watching.
Jake: What interests me about ghosts is the idea that after a human being has died, there is a chance of him still communicating with those still walking the earth. Maybe it is simply a shadow from a car's headlights that we think is a ghost. Maybe it is just the way the wind blows that makes us think someone of the paranormal world was calling our name. It's strange to think of what waits for us once we are done on this earth ... or once the economy finally tanks ... whichever comes first.
Some of the theories surrounding the paranormal are interesting as well. My favorite, I think, is the theory that spirits can communicate better with those who are bald. The idea is that because there is such a glare off the bare head of a bald person, any light (whether it be from flashlights) or energy sources can refract off the skull and allow entities to draw that energy to either produce sound or even, though rare, show themselves in the form of an apparition.
PPS is lucky to have David Schmincke as our leader and co-founder, because David has suffered from what doctors actually refer to as "barebones skullapnia," which is essentially male pattern baldness. (And the pattern is actually a horse shoe.) It's very strange. But the payoff is that PPS has caught dozens of EVPs and possibly a few disembodied voices because of the energy that reflects off his bald head. The experiments that numberless paranormal investigation groups and scientists have performed have backed up this theory that was actually discovered nearly 45 years ago.
Einstein had E=MC2 ... PPS had David Schmincke and barebones skullapnia.
James: Ghosts are quite interesting because of their profound ability to annoy you if they don't like what you're watching on tv. I had an encounter at my friend's house when everytime we took the tv off of espn, the lights would flicker on and off and an apparition would start walking towards us. I googled it and turns out quite a few people have experienced what I've gone through. From Family Guy being turned off, to reruns of sandford and son. So next time you're surfing the channels and the house starts to shake, maybe you should stay on Three's Company before you start thinking about moving. You'll be amazed at what you find.
Rex: I think the most fascinating thing about ghosts is that the human element still shows through. Ghosts were once living people and like those living they are still motivated by the same things: money and power. Why else would the groups with the more expensive equipment be able to capture images and audio of ghosts. Its not because the equipment is better or more in tune to the frequency that the spirits reside on, but because they know how much it costs and want to be around the owners of such equipment. The more expensive "ghost hunting equipment" you have the better your chances are of capturing something. Look at the places that are generally haunted: old mansions, lavish hotels, southern plantations; ok you may be thinking but Rex what about Eastern State Penitentiary? Well look at the most famous prisoner who stayed there Al Capone, with his book keeping you know he had money.
I think we all need to take a different approach to ghost hunting and stop buying expensive equipment that can only be used on investigations, we should take this money and buy things like PS3s and plasma screen tvs. This way we can still draw out the ghosts but this way we can challenge them to a Madden tournament or have them join in on "sweet emotion" while playing rock band. Oh and the little boy from The Sixth Sense was right, you know that prickly feeling on the back of your neck, it is them but they are trying to pick your pocket.
APRIL FOOLS!
Hopefully you realized before getting to this point that we were not serious about any of what was said today...
although the ghosts do seem strangely attracted to Dave's bald head.
