paranormal state vs york county paranormal

2009-02-22T03:06:00.000-05:00

Alona and I belong to york county paranormal group out of rock hill SC, We were involved with another group that was not fitting our needs and a few other people felt the same way so we started our own group (york county) we have met some wonderful people and have become lifetime friends. this group has been on a couple of really great investigations and i will get into those in a moment, but first i wanted to give a little background.

Fred and his wife Kim are wonderful friends, they like us are really looking to help people with the things unexplained. Fred is a police officer in rock hill and kim works for the DMV, Freds investigation skills are truly needed in this field. then we have Dan and Trish, Dan is a reike (sp) master and plays a vital role in communicating with the spirits we encounter.

we look for the truth and try and get the logical solution before we say it is paranormal, but in the same aspect we are there to help people understand a haunting and how to deal with them.

this past november we had the chance to go into a home in Columbia sc that had reports of footsteps and noises that couldnt be explained, we went in and set up all of the equipment and got very impressive results many evp's and tempature ranges. Alona had alot of cold spots around her legs. (we found out later that they were children holding on to Alona's legs) we even were able to talk the tempature down in the room almost 20 degrees. after we had left the home, the woman we were helping called us and said the spirits had been acting up so the following week we went back and blessed the home and helped the spirits find rest. no more activity has been reported. i know this is very vague but due to privacy issues i cannot say much on here.

our next investigation was in york county and it dealt with a poltergiest scratching a young teenage girl, this was one that the TV show paranormal state wanted to investigate but the owner of the home felt more comfortable having us do it as we are police officers and we could be on more of a personal level. it made me feel good knowing that we could really help out a family in need and beat out a top rated tv show to boot!

there were many things reported to us that had happened in the home from objects moving across the room to a chair rocking and depressing as if someone was sitting in it when no one was there. they have a small dog and it had been having siezures due to all the activity as well as shadow people manifesting.

we went into the home and conducted our investigation and didnt witness very much, but we blessed the home and the activity stopped. a week later the homeowner called Alona and said that the activity had returned and the daughter had been scratched again, Alona and I went back to the home to comfort the homeowner and to see if we could witness activity, the home felt lighter and not as dark and opressive as it had the previous week. while in the bedroom of the daughter we started to feel a cold spot, it felt as though it was touching my elbow and as we asked it questions it would move away and move closer by command answering our questions. I then felt like someone poked me with there finger in the back ( kinda like a poke in the ribs to say here i am) after a few minutes i asked alona to look at my back as it was tingly, she lifted my shirt and i had deep red scratches and welts on my back, at no time did i feel like i was scratched or hurt.

in my opinion i think this entity was trying to get our attention and was not meaning us any harm due to the questions we had asked before the scratches.
we had Dan come into the home a couple of days later and perform an indian ritual and have not heard back from the home owner.

wow i still have a blog?

2009-02-13T03:27:00.000-05:00

This has been a forgotten thing for a long time! I have been out for awhile cause of my surgery and to be honest kinda forgot this blog. I am doing well, trying to recover has been hard, I got my cast off last week and returned to work yesterday. it has been hard to use my hand and there is alot of pain still involved but I try not to whine cause i know Alona is tired of hearing me say my hand sure hurts. she was such a trooper throughout my ordeal always hearing hunny get me this and hunny get me that, but i know that without her i would have been in horrible shape! she is my rock and the love of my life! i feel that in my pre Alona life it was winter, cold and blowing winds of a bad life, and now it is spring with all the warmth and color and all I can say is I love you for so many reasons Alona! thank you for being my spring!

Happy Turkey Day!

It has been awhile since my last entry, mostly because i am back in a hard cast and cant type! my surgery is on Dec 9th, my sons birthday :( I hope all goes well, they are going to just numb my arm instead of put me under! can you say heck no? they are going to put a screw in my hand to hold the bones together and want to just numb my arm? i really dont want to hear the drill and hammers lol anyway, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for so many things I cannot even list them all! I do know family is #1 on my list what about you?

My Niece in primary children's hospital

2008-10-31T02:13:00.000-04:00

I know i just had another post but wanted to do another one. My mom called me yesterday and told me that my niece Megan was in primary children's hospital in Salt Lake City. My sister and brother in law said that Megan started to want alot of drinks and was using the restroom alot! that is a sign of diabetes, so they grabbed Ken's tester and tested Megan, her test was so high the machine didn't even read it. they took her to the DR and his machine wouldn't read her numbers either (scary) so he admitted her in the hospital to get her numbers regular and get her liver to function properly. My brother in law has diabetes and so does his mom and that may be how Megan got it. Megan is only 6 so she will have a struggle the rest of her life. thank goodness Ken will know the danger signs and will be able to take wonderful care of her!
Please help us and remember Megan in your prayers!
We love Ken, Cheri, Megan and little Hannah!

The Doc

2008-10-31T02:01:00.000-04:00

OK so i went to visit the hand surgeon yesterday, he is an EVIL man! I think that the doc's can get too rough sometimes, i know they need to get the feel for the problem and all but DANG! he almost had me in tears and i am not one to show pain. i had to have 8 sets of x-rays cause the Doc couldn't get the angle he wanted although the x-ray tech said they were all the same, so now i am ready for Halloween cause with all the radiation i am GLOWING! I had am MRI last week and now he wants another one. I hate the fact that i have to lay in a tube for 30 more min just to get the same results as the first. i know i know poor me lol but that's why i have a blog dang it!

Anyone feel sorry for me yet or shall i cry more lol. I hope everyone is doing well and if you do feel sorry for me, come cry in a big bowl of homemade broccoli cheese soup with me! my treat!

have a wonderful day/night and an even better halloween!

it is final!

2008-10-28T01:16:00.000-04:00

So I went to the doc today, he told me that i will have to have surgery on my hand! i know that we have been expecting this but it is still hard to take! the two bones in your forearm that meet your wrist are spread too far apart and they have to go in and pull them back together. This makes me scared a bit but it is that or be crippled for the rest of my life so i will have to take option number 1! so if you are they praying type please say one or two for me.

Happy Anniversary

2008-10-20T03:18:00.000-04:00

Well today is my official two year Anniversary with my sweetheart! i can't believe it has been that long! it seems as only yesterday we were taking the vows! I feel so blessed to be here in Sc and can't believe i have made it in the south that long! although it has not always been easy to blend into a ready made family Alona and i have done very well. She is such a strong spirit and has always kept the possitive attitude when things may seem the darkest. I do have to admit my ex wife has tried to keep us on our toes at all times but i hope that it has settled down. I also have to admire Alona for her courage to run her own daycare, i do see trials that she has to go through and how she gets hurt everytime a parent causes undou stress. I dont want to go into all that here other than say i am glad we can keep her buisness seprate from our home life. we have made great friends and lost great friends but in the end we know that each child that leaves our home will still be loved no matter what.

To my sweetheart all i can say is thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for me! i truly am the lucky person in this relationship. you have a light inside you that continues to shine so bright! it is a beacon of love that leads me home every night! i thank god for directing me to you as i know he smiles down at us and is very proud that we listened to his promptings.

if there was a gift that i could buy you to show my love i would but when it comes to it i value and cherish each and every time i look into your eyes, no gift is worthy of you! you are the greatest of gifts and i could never top that. there is no flower as beautiful as you are no gold more precious. I love you so much! thank you for being my wife!

I LOVE YOU!

broken arm and sitting around

2008-10-02T16:33:00.000-04:00

I am typing this with one hand and not very well at that! i am right handed and of course i broke my right hand! funny how we take things for granted each day, for example tying your shoes, taking a shower, cutting a tomato, washing your hair, cutting down a tree. the list goes on and on. as i sit here thinking poor me, poor me it reminds me of how thankful i am for the positive things that i have in my life! a caring spouse that loves me and helps me cut that tomato and washes my hair. a left hand that can learn to adapt to doing more work. sometimes the lord will throw a curve in the mix just to let you know that you can do things. it just may take more work and determination to achieve your main goal. he is with us and if we accept the help we will succeed! sometimes we pray and pray for the lord to help us with our burdens, but we never take the time to actually look for the help. for example, try doing up your zipper with your non dominate hand, using only that hand. now have your spouse help you with that same zipper, answer to your prayers? some will say no that would never happen to me, but what if it did? how would you deal with the task at hand? I guess my point is the lord works for us and offers us the help we need we just need to recognize the help he is offering. prayer works! just try it and you will see! just look for the help that he puts in front of you.
This was not where i was going with the poor me story and i have no idea how i got so preachy! so i am sorry to make you feel like you are in church lol

hope you all have a great day or night!

Paul

busy as can be

2008-09-05T00:08:00.000-04:00

it has been awhile since my last post, work has been crazy and i am still not adjusted to being back from utah. i know i am a whimp and should be ok but working all the hours i have just to make up time has been hard, i wonder if blogging is for me? lol anyway i hope all is well with everyone and i will post something worthwhile i a couple of days......

Is it ok to love your job?

2008-08-13T21:09:00.001-04:00

Is it OK to love your job? i have had a wonderful time learning and working with the Dept of Juvenile Justice. the thing is i don't think i was very prepared for what i was to experience. i do have to say i was a bit excited to work at DJJ and was also a bit scared, the training was great but it is like reading you a book on how to ride a bike not showing you how ( if that makes any sense ) after working in the units I have to say that I LOVE IT! and I have learned so much more in the units. i have had many scary things happen as these kids are children in adult bodies. most are gang members, bloods and crips, but i have earned respect from both sides and that is a good thing! the kids call me Big Harp and they all know when i mean business! i just hope in some small way i can reach at least one of these juveniles and make a difference in his life. i did have one of the kids come up and say to me " this is not a gay thing but i luv ya big harp" and he asked for a hug! it is sad to see the way these kids have been raised or not been raised. makes me very thankful for my children and Alona's children and how good they really are! my next post will be about how i need jesus in my life so the penocstal sp? say! lol

my first blog ever

2008-08-13T01:46:00.000-04:00

ok i have used alona's blog so much that i have decided to start my own cause ya'll don't have enough to read! I wanted to have a spot to vent out all my rantings and thoughts and with Alona's help i hope to have all the neat stuff on mine as well. I look forward to getting more in depth at a later time. I do want to take this space and brag about my bride and how wonderful she has made my life! i have been married before and i loved my first wife but was never in love like i am today! i think the lord had me do a trial run at marriage so i could be prepared to be totally in love today! i am thankful for my trials and have learned so much but yet at the same time i have so much to learn about letting go of my heart and totally trusting someone. Alona has made that possible, although some baggage remains it is slowly melting away. I truly am the luckiest man in the whole world to find such a woman who knows how to love and treats her husband like gold! i know she is always there for me and i never have to worry about anything. She always has hugs and a smile that melts me every time! I know this is mushy but i can't help myself! I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!!!!
