Paranormal Investigating: “My Name is Sunshine” Full Sentence Digital Recorder Capture of Frank’s Box Hack Reply

My Name is Sunshine by Becki Baumgartner

First you will hear Mike Sears, founder of Volunteer State Paranormal Research, ask “Can you tell us your name?” Then you’ll hear “My Name is Sunshine”. We think this might be the child that has been seen in Mike’s house. The child is of a little boy around the age of 8-10 with blondish sandy hair and  seen smiling before he vanishes.

From the response, it  shows that it is an “Intelligent” response.  The child voice  is using part of the question to respond to the question. “My Name is Sunshine ”

Non of us during the session heard this reply from the child. This is why its very important to record  your ITC session. You will be able to go back later and listen for replies you might have missed.

Paranormal Investigating: Spirit Footsteps Caught on Recorder at Octagon Hall Museum? by Becki Baumgartner

First you will hear Monique Sears, co-founder of Volunteer State Paranormal Research, say “OK”, then immediately after you will hear a series of what sounds like five footsteps. To me they sound like boots on hardwood, and seem to be echoing and walking around us in the room.

I thought this paticular capture was really cool for a several reasons. First off, we were all sitting down and even the guests were doing a great job of tagging–so we know it was not any of us. Secondly, there were no other groups inside the house at the time. This means that nobody could be walking around. Also, we all heard the noise with our “naked” ears–but to us it just sounded like random tapping on the floor. It wasn’t until later listening with the recording that it sounds like echoing footsteps, possibly a boot, walking in a circular pattern around the room.

Upon hearing this capture, Billy Byrd (owner of Octagon Hall Museum) wrote this: “You finally got a recording of the steps that I and numerous others have heard dozens of times. but never captured. I usually hear them when I’m alone and quiet.”

Volunteer State Paranormal Research Conducts ITC & EVP Session at Rippavilla Plantation (Spring Hill, TN)

Article written by

Becki Baumgartner-

Lead Investigator for VSPR

Click Here For The Volunteer State Paranormal Channel on YouTube

The above clip is from a session held by Volunteer State Paranormal Research in the cellar of Rippavilla Plantation, located in Spring Hill, Tennessee. A great deal of paranormal activity had previously been experienced in the cellar. Our team used the PX Oviluss with great results. This is just a short clip of the hour we investigated in the cellar.

“ITC” stands for Instrumental Trans-Communication. ITC is communication between the living and spirits or other entities utilizing any type of electronic device. Some examples of common household devices that have been used int he past are tape recorders, fax machines, TV sets, and computers. ITC can include visual effects in addition to audio anomalies. The term “Instramental Trans-Communication” found its orgins through Professor Ernst Senkowski whp was a physicist at Faculty of Engineering in University of Mainz, Germany. Unfortunately, the the scientific community per se has not yet accepted the validity of ITC.

The electronic device we used for our ITC experiments in this video is a PX Machine. The PX was invented by Bill Chappell. It is an electronic device that reads changes in the EMF (Electromagnetic Field) and converts those readings into words. The theory behind this piece of equipment is that spirits seeking to communicate learn how interact with the device by changing the EMF causing the PX machine to announce the words they wish to communicate to the audience.

EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena. EVP’s are intelligible speech generated on electric devices, but are not the result of intentional voice recordings by the person using the recorder. Elecgtronic Voice Phenomena is created with static, radio, or background noise, etc. The theory behind EVP is that the spirit can create a shift in frequency outside of the normal human voice range that shows up on audio recorders. The length of EVP can range from a single word or an entire sentence. The recorder I used in this investigation was an Olympus Digital Recorder WS-100.

Volunteer State had an amazing and busy year in 2011. We like to thank everyone who has supported us on our website and facebook page, those taking time to come see us at public lectures on the Paranormal and public investigations we have worked at.

YEAR REVIEW

The early part of 2011 VSPR did a daytime investigation at Rippavilla Plantation, Spring Hill TN in March. We tried some new techniques with EVP questioning. This gave us some great results and answers to questions on some of the history of Rippavilla.

In the month of April, Rippavilla asked for VSPR to help with a public investigation with special guest Chris Fleming. Chris Fleming had seen VSPR’s video on the PX/ITC session we did in the cellar of Rippavilla in 2010. He was impressed with the data collected and wanted to come investigate Rippavilla and to hopefully experience the activity that we had. After the public investigation, Chris commented that he was amazed on the amount of paranormal activity and spirit interaction at Rippavilla. He carried on a full conversation for a full 30 minutes in the old school house on the property, using the spirit box PSB7. He had said it was the first time he had encountered such a long 1 on 1 conversation.  It was great  to have Chris do a walk through the house and do a psychic reading. A lot that he was feeling about the property matched with our EVP data finds and our team psychic readings.

During that public investigation at Rippavilla, VSPR had put a motion camera in the cellar. The camera captured an unknown figure in front of the camera that we were not able to debunk.

The month of May VSPR worked on a private investigation in west Nashville. An investigation that we felt was life changing experience for the team. We investigated a property that had a recent tragic death and paranormal activity had started to happen. The investigation involved multiple EVP sessions conducted during the day and night.  During those investigations the team encountered many personal encounters. Some of the experiences were, seeing shadow figures, team members being physically touched, and communication responses by knocks and the use of our motion lights. The EVP’s we captured from this case were just amazing and made us a bigger believer of life after death. We are not able to share more detail on this due to client confidentiality.

During the summer and fall of 2011, VSPR guest spoke at the Center of Symmetry during the Moonlight Festival. We enjoyed meeting with our fans and meeting new friends. During the Moonlight Festival VSPR was able to share data and our personal experiences from our investigations. VSPR is looking forward to return in 2012 with new finds and experiences at future Moonlight Festivals.

September was VSPR’S first public investigation sponsored by ourselves. We did this due to the amount of people requesting to go on an investigation with VSPR. The public investigation was held at Octagon Hall in Franklin, Kentucky. Stephen Hill was originally our invited guest speaker on ITC (Instrumental Trans communication), but sadly canceled due to illness. VSPR was honored to have Donna Marsh to fill in  and  come guest speak on her recent published book “Nashville Haunted Handbook” and Donna shared her paranormal expereinces and  lead a team during the investigation. Kiki Dombrowski, VSPR team psychic guest spoke on her abilities and how she works with VSPR. Followed by Mike Sears sharing data collected from Octagon Hall and other investigations VSPR has done. The investigation turned to be a very active night; especially in the barn and slave cabin. The investigation ended the night upstairs in the home where  VSPR team member Lance Whalen played a civil war song on his guitar. At the end of the song the room went quite and we asked did you like the song. Four KII EMF meters in different locations of the room all lit up to red on the light meter at the same time.

From August to December. VSPR worked several private cases,two private residence and  a high school. We are still reviewing the data from the school investigation. During the investigation Mike and a teacher from the school saw a ball of light float out of the wall and then fly back into the wall in one of the classrooms. During some of the EVP sessions there was EMF interaction and several people were touched on their arm and leg. Hope to have some of our finds from this investigation up on our Facebook page and YouTube page in near future.

The year ended with VSPR helping the Clement Railroad Museum in Dickson, Tennessee with a public investigation. It was the very first time for the museum to hold a public investigation, which helped making it a sold out event. One of the ticket holders  who attended is a  known psychic and author Debra Katz who came all the way from California for the investigation. The museum turned skeptics in to believers that night. A team lead by Monique Sears conducted an EVP session in the gift shop of the museum. The windows were all fogged over in the shop during the EVP session. They started to encounter EMF interaction on the KII, One of the guest asked, “If this is a spirit doing this, can you go touch the window and show us you are here?” Soon after the question was asked a nearby window that was fogged, two hand prints appeared on the window. One was child size and the other was adult.  Mike was leading a team in the parlor room with Debra Katz. They had for almost 30 minutes, communication using a ghost meter, having it answer by blinking once for no and twice for yes. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO OF THIS SESSION

Due to the success of the public investigation, the museum is hoping to have VSPR come back to hold another public investigation in 2012.

 We are looking forward to the New Year trying new equipment and techniques during our investigations. So we can share our data with you.

We thank you for your support and too those who donated to our research.  VSPR Wishes you all a Happy, Healthy and Safe 2012.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Written by Mike Sears

In 1994 Mike and his mother received one of the greatest Christmas gifts one could receive. Contact from a love one. Mike’s father passed away in June and he had shared that amazing experience on an earlier blog posting.

   This was to be the first Christmas without my father. My father celebrated Christmas real big. His gift to the family was to make a huge gourmet Christmas dinner. Each year my dad’s dinner had its own theme or specialty dish that he had learned when stationed in various countries while serving in the army.  His favorite dishes were from Asia, especially from Japan. He would buy the highest quality when it came to ingredients for the meal. He would save up all year to make this one day very special for the family. He might not have been a certified gourmet chef, but to us and friends he should been.

 

I wanted to make this Christmas special for my mom since it was our first  Christmas without my dad. I planned to make a nice gourmet dinner like my dad did and to decorate the house big for the holidays inside and out. I got up early in the morning and had my list of items to buy and locations mapped out that I needed to go to. I left not knowing what was going to happen that day.

 I was shopping in this department store and I was half way done with my list of items to gather for Christmas. I wanted something that would WOW my mom when she saw the gift. I entered into this store and saw an Angel standing just over four feet tall. The angel I thought was beautifully done visually with an elegant gown, great detail to the face and large wings opened on her back.  I felt drawn towards the figure and said to myself, “This is what I’m looking for. This is the WOW that will make her Christmas.” After my dad’s death my mother started to collect angel figurines and I knew she would love this angel added to her collection.

I walked to my car with the angel and started to put it in the vehicle. Unlocking the car I suddenly smell this strong odor of cigar smoke in the air. My first thought that someone is pretty rude to blow their smoke so close to someone. I look around and see no one around smoking a cigar or any form of tobacco. I shrug it off and continue to put the angel in the car. The cigar smell gets stronger and then I hear my dad’s voice say, “Mike! You need to go to Tokyo Market now!” At first I thought I imagined this and thought I must be thinking its dad because he used to smoke cigars. I get into the car and check my list and plan for the next location to shop at. Then the cigar smell was in my car, very strong. (I never allow anyone to smoke in my car) I started to tingle all over and then heard my dad’s voice again in my head “Mike! You need to go to Tokyo Market now!” For some reason I responded out loud, “Dad, if this is you, I have Tokyo Market on my list to go too.”  I then hear him again in my head, “You need to go NOW! Right now!”  I’m thinking this is can’t be happening, I was caught off guard and not expecting to argue with my dad about a place to shop at. I start to drive to the next location and I hear his voice again. “Mike, you need to go now! It’s a Christmas gift for you and your mother there.” Hearing this I start to fight back the tears.  I reply back out loud in my car. “Dad, I’m going there now.”

The cigar smell disappears and I no longer hear my dad talking to me. I drive to the other side of town to reach the Tokyo Market (Tokyo Market is a store that specializes in imported gourmet food from Japan) I arrive at the store not knowing what I’m supposed to be looking for.  As I walk towards the store door the smell of cigar smoke returns. Entering inside the store I’m drawn to an item on the front store display. As I go to look at the item, I hear my dad’s voice again. “Don’t look at that! Go to the left of the store and go to the last cabinet and look inside! There you will see yours and your mother’s Christmas gift.” I walk to the last cabinet and look inside the cabinet of products. Then my eyes are drawn to this one item. It was an item my dad wanted the store to order for him. An item that he tried for five years to get and the store wasn’t able to find or import from Japan. They had finally got it.

I grabbed every package of the item to purchase and head to the register to cash out. The cashier is surprised to see that I have this entire item they have for sale. She then says to me, “You’re not buying all of these are you? We had a customer who has requested this for over five years and we have lost his phone number. We are hoping he come in and get this. Can you leave a couple of these just in case he returns?” I asked, “Can you describe this man for me?”  After the cashier describes my dad perfectly, I reach for my wallet and show her a photo of my dad. “Is this him?” I asked. She replied, “Yes.”

I explained to her that he had passed away during the summer and I was his son. She then said, “I guess it was meant to be for you to come in here and buy this.” I didn’t share with her what brought me there; I thanked her and wished her a Merry Christmas. Leaving the store I smell the cigar and hear my dad’s voice for the last time saying, “Merry Christmas!”

I stopped any further shopping and decided to drive straight home. I needed to share what just happened with my mom.

When I got home I decided to give my mom her Christmas gifts. I told her she needed to sit down and prepare to hear how these gifts had come to be.  I had her close her eyes and then proceeded in the room with the four foot tall angel. She opened her eyes to see this elegant angel and became overwhelmed with happiness. I then told her, “I have one more gift for you and it’s in this bag. First though I need to tell you how I got this item in this bag.” I shared my experience and then handed her the bag to open. Saying to her, “Merry Christmas, from dad.”  She gave me a big hug and we both cried with tears of happiness.

Christmas of 1994 is a Christmas my Mom and I will never forget.

Hag Syndrome or Paranormal Activity?

By Becki Baumgartner
Becki also writes for LuminaEarth.com

I just woke up. I feel the sweat beading up on my forehead. I am terrified. I know I am awake. I can’t move. The room is freezing. I don’t know exactly what time it is, but it must be somewhere between midnight and dawn. It is still dark.

I try to lift my head. I feel myself straining to lift it, but my head just doesn’t move. I open my mouth to scream, nothing comes out. A silent scream… just like in a nightmare… But I am awake – I know I am awake!

I try to sit up, to move my arms or legs. Nothing moves. I am consumed with utter terror. I am awake, this is not a dream. I know I am awake.

There is a heavy pressure on my chest, like somebody is sitting on me. I feel a presence, mean, evil, dirty. Was it Satan? A demon? I wasn’t sure. I wince inside, thinking that I am probably going to get hurt really, really bad. I am still consumed with terror. Again I try to scream. My mouth opens, but again nothing comes out.

I still feel the pressure on my chest, but it somehow spreads to my legs and feet. It felt as if someone has spread out full length on top of me for the sole purpose of pinning me down, so that I cannot move. The pressure increases, like there is the weight of two on top of me instead of just one. I strain to breath because of the pressure bearing down on my chest and lungs. The force has become greater. I feel tears trickling down the sides of my face. Time ceased. Had it been seconds or hours? I’ll never know. It seemed like forever to me.

Then it was finally gone.

I was in my early teens. The experience was in my childhood home, in my own bed.

Was it a dream? No, I knew I was awake… because the tears I had felt trickling down my face during the episode were still there when it was over… and I never experienced a transition of “waking up”… proof that it was not my imagination or a dream. It was REAL, and I WAS awake the entire time.

Many people experience episodes such as this, and it has been recently coined “Old Hag Syndrome”.

What is “Old Hag Syndrome”?

The Medical Community Explanation

The medical community explains Old Hag Syndrome as simply being sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is normal and happens every night during the REM stage of sleep. This is a natural protective function of the body that prevents people from acting out their dreams during their sleep and is called REM atonia.

Occasionally, something physically malfunctions and people wake up still in the state of REM atonia. When this occurs, it is common for the victim to experience horrific hallucinations such as demons, witches, aliens, rapists, intruders, etc. in the room with them. The hallucinations are very real and the person suffering the hallucination may be spoken to, threatened and touched… all while being paralyzed and unable to speak. The experiences of many people who have claimed to be abducted by aliens in their home have been attributed to sleep paralysis and the hallucinations it creates. The medical community is unsure exactly how or why the hallucinations and apparitions occur, and according to Stanford Sleep & Dreams, this remains one of the biggest mysteries in dream research.

The Folklore Explanation

“Old Hag” or sleep paralysis is a common phenomenon and described by almost all cultures of the world. Some consider it alien abduction, others the devil and his minions, others demons, or the one commonly used in the United States – the “old hag” who sits on the sleeping victim’s chest rendering him unable to move upon waking. This is often said to be a sign of an upcoming tragedy or event. “The witch riding your back” is the term used by African Culture. In Hmong culture the translation is “crushing demon”, “held down by shadow” in Vietnamese, “ghost pressing on body” in Chinese, “goblin or succubus” in Iceland, and similar translations from all around the world. The victim is paralyzed, unable to move or speak, and experiences various phenomena.

Many believe that these experiences are actually paranormal phenomena occurring, and not a hallucination.

So Exactly What Happened to Me?

I am still trying to figure this out. There is a little more to the story…

I never really told anybody about the experience when it happened because I was embarrassed, feeling that I let down my family and my church community. You see, beforehand I had been playing with an Ouija board… and it appeared as though I was getting answers. It was all fun and game until that night time episode. Then I was absolutely positive that God was punishing me in some way for “dabbling in witchcraft” and playing with the Ouija board. Maybe my punishment was demon visitation… or maybe God had just abandoned me for a while, and the demons crept in. My young, teenage mind struggled to sort through what happened and why. I was sure nobody would understand so I just kept it to myself and sought out as much information I could on God and demons. I never did run across anything about “Old Hag Syndrome” at that time, but did find many, many religious stories relating to demons.

So did I “open a portal” with the Ouija board? I couldn’t say for sure, but I don’t think so. I have never had another experience even similar to this.

Could it have been paranormal activity? Maybe. Several years later my brother had a similar experience in the same house. Also, as young children (much prior to my “Old Hag” experience) my brother and I had both seen a similar-looking apparitions in the house. Although they are skeptical about the paranormal, my parents have both recently told me of unusual things they have experienced – hearing strange breathing and seeing a white mist — things that would have frightened some people and have caused them to want to investigate.

Was The Experience a Sleep Malfunction or Paranormal Activity?

I guess I will never know for sure. I have no witness, no documentation. What I experienced could easily be explained by either. The medical community can’t fully explain how or why the apparitions occur. Could this be because they really are paranormal? Or is it just some chemical malfunction in the brain that has yet to be discovered. Who knows!

The search for answers to questions like this is the reason why paranormal and psychic research are so important!

We are only at the tip of the iceberg as far as reality is concerned. Science is an ongoing process, facts being updated daily as new theories are developed and proven.

It could be that the spirit world is much closer and more accessible than most of us can imagine. Maybe “hauntings” are not a rare occurrence, but a mere instance of us nearsighted humans getting a glimpse of what is going around us all the time.

This is why I investigate.

Consider everything. Question everything.

How I became a psychic medium: Personal stories from the Otherside

By Kiki Dombrowski

I was very young when it all started – I’ll guess between five and seven years old. One night I was very ill in bed, with a flu that didn’t seem to go away. I had a terrible fever (well over 100 degrees), I was sick to my stomach, I had a sore throat, a stuffed up nose, and both of my ears were infected. While ill, late at night after my parents went to sleep, I was awoken by the sound of the most beautiful harp music. This music was so incredible; I never wanted it to stop. I just listened to it, with my eyes closed, feeling comfort and relief for the first time in days. To this day, I don’t remember hearing anything so soothing or beautiful. Within the next couple of days, my illness cleared up completely. I knew in my heart it had something to do with the harp music.

At this point in my life I was attending Catholic school on Saturday mornings. I decided to tell my teacher (who was a nun) about what happened, telling her about hearing the music late at night, and getting better after I heard it. When I asked her if she knew what it was, she enthusiastically told me, “It sounds like the Mother Mary visited you!” I’ve held this story close to my heart ever since then. I always knew it was a very unusual event, but I didn’t know where to fit it into my life. Since studying medium work and clairvoyance, I’ve realized that my Mother Mary encounter would be my first interaction with the spirit world. I believe that night I was visited by a spirit guide. Since then, I have been extremely sensitive to the spiritual world.

I used to play on my swing set, staring at the clouds imagining that there were little angels sitting on them watching me. I always had “imaginary friends,” whom I’ve concluded may have been nature spirit that I talked to. There was a man in the birch tree outside the window to my room who would tap on the glass at night to say “Sweet Dreams.” In my adolescence, my interactions with the spirit world became stronger. My family lived in a small house in a rural area of Connecticut. There I was constantly the center of spiritual attention. One night I awoke to my feet getting tickled, followed by the sounds of tiny giggles. I was visited by a flowing, bright female ghost on a couple of occasions. She floated over my bed and held her hands out to me. I wasn’t frightened by those incidences.

However, there were frightening incidences to occur. One occurred after a night of unsettling dreams. I woke up, feeling unnaturally cold. When I opened my eyes, I realized there was a small boy at the foot of my bed. He was in an outfit you’d expect from the 1920s or 1930s – a small jumpsuit with a poor boy’s hat. He was reaching out his hand to me, but I was so stricken with fear by his appearance that I couldn’t move. I began to panic. I could move my head back and forth, and I noticed the clock said 4:15. I stared at the lamp in my room, wishing it would just turn on. While I felt the ghost’s cold presence in my room, I just concentrated on the lamp, hoping I could unfreeze and reach to it to turn it on. After a minute of staring at it, it flickered on and off and then turned on completely. I was able to move and the ghost was gone.

On another night, after more bad dreams, I woke up to seeing faces peering at me from the wall. Their faces came out from the wall, and looked like relief sculptures. However, I was so used to paranormal activity, I just turned around and went back to bed. So, I learned how to ignore the cold rushes of air, the weird noises at night and the odd dreams. I willed myself into not dealing with the spirit world, and I believed that they felt this, because as a teenager, I was left alone.

These kinds of phenomenon did not occur during my high school years. I was too frightened to be open to them, I believe. After telling my mother about what I saw at our house, she insisted that what I was seeing was not real. What my mother failed to mention was the history of psychic power in her family line. A line of Italians, Scotsmen, French Canadians and Blackfoot Indians, many members of her family had strong psychic abilities. My great grandfather could clearly see auras and would entertain everyone at family parties by describing the colors he saw around them. My cousin would often be visited by our grandparents who had passed on a decade earlier. Even my mother has given accounts have seeing ghosts and my sister has a gift for scrying with mirrors.

During my early 20s, I started to meditate and become a spiritually aware person. Having studied many forms of divination, I realized that my encounters with the paranormal were more than coincidence. I recognized I had pushed my unique talent, a gift of sensing spirits and paranormal activity, to the wayside. After constant study, meditation, and practice, I reintroduced the ability back into my life. Almost a decade later, I have been able to use my abilities to speak with spirits and assist in paranormal investigations. I also can use the same psychic means to help others reach to people who have passed over, and give them reassurance that yes, they are very well, very happy, and watching over us.
