A Hawaiian Shape Shifter Story

In the eight years I lived in Hawaii there were many stories.This one was from a credible source.
" You probably get accounts from people all the time but my aunt told us of a time when an old man came out of the forest at dusk and stood in the water..She and her friends were not too far from him and just watched ike it was'nt unusual to see something like that.Seconds later,the man shifted shapes into a shark and swam off.This happened not too long ago and they knew of a tale of a man that does this.They could not believe what they saw but did not freak about it.Spirits or whatever know who can tune in to them and wil test you to see how you react.None of her friends came back that evening except her and she observed him as a shark,shift back into a man and quietly make his way back into the forest.My famiy in Hawaii have recently told us of other situations and they know if you don't freak out,they will let themseves be known to you.So much more to tell everyone but someday maybe...Aloha"

A South Georgia Ghost Investigation

Although TAPS and GHI have brought their Ghost Hunting to prominence on TV. there are many such investigating groups throughout the US. This is a focus on one in S GA that made news recently..There are ghosts everywhere...

" Chehaw Village along New York Road in Lee County is an unassuming picnic spot with a lot of untold history.

"The young men, the warriors from that group joined the military to help fight the United States military to help fight the Seminoles, to help bring the Seminole rebellion down," said Tripp Robbins, South Georgia Paranormal Investigator Lead Investigator.

A marker placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution only tells part of the story.

"The Georgia militia came through here and killed several of the women and children and old elders in this particular area," said Robbins.

South Georgia Paranormal Investigators want to know the whole story, so they're going to the source, so to speak.

"Mainly what our focus is is to document what's there or document what's possibly there, hopefully catch something and bring it to light," said Robbins.

There are no Ouija Boards or seance, using a camera and equipment that measures electromagnetic fields the investigation begins.

"Before every investigation we say a prayer, after every investigations we say a prayer. Every team members is a Christian, we're all God fearing individuals," said Robbins.

The crew spread out, snapping pictures and taking readings, looking for anything that isn't easily explained away.

"I took a picture out here, the last time we were here, of what looked like a wood pile, a fire pile. The first picture nothing, the second picture had what looked like an illuminant in the middle of it and we can't figure out where it came from," said Amanda Hoxsie, South Georgia Paranormal Investigators Tech Specialist.

"My flash light went completely out, her camera died, and about the same time we both got an uneasy, queasy feeling like we were both going to get sick, so we decided to walk away and as we were walking away, I physically got choked," said Michelle Williams, South Georgia Paranormal Investigator Web specialist.

Our own goose bump experience came when the group plugged in it's paranormal puck.

"It takes energy in the air and it converts it into language via a database it already has built into the software, it takes whatever it thinks its saying and turns it into words so you can read it," said Hoxsie.

It translated thousands, Indian, night, words not uncommon for this area, but then it starting reading words including video.

"News. That's the first time it said news, corn, history, see it's really beginning to pick up on things that relate to us," said Hoxsie.

Coincidence?
"Coincidence or something there? Who knows, who's to say? You can't prove it one way or the other, it's just take it how you feel," said Robbins.

Then explain the voices caught in the background of the recorders running the entire time.

"Help me, help me," said a voice.

Or increased readings from trees that are descendents of the trees that stood when the massacre occurred?

"There was a couple of areas where the meter had gone up higher than our normal reading that we couldn't debunk," said Williams. The group knows there will be skeptics.

"The easiest thing to do is tell them, you listen to the voices and you tell me, you explain what it is. If I can't, we go into a situation trying our best to explain away what it is," said Robbins.

For the South Georgia Paranormal Investigators its proof enough something exists at this site, what that is will take further investigation and more research."

TERIREESWANG Has An Experience

An exceptionally talented artist with featured work in the video tells of an experience:

"Every year my German girlfriend host a Birthday party for herself, at her house. We all gather round once a year.

Every year, the photos turn out funny....

Last time as she said "Cheese" and posed with her cake, she had two rows of faces, the ones that were there physically, and another that blurred those faces out and highlighted their own. Some were tall, some not, one had braids with red hair ties. But, all thought they were the only ones there!"

Mysteries And Monsters

The coauthors of a new book were guests on Coast To Coast with George Nooley this weekend.The fascinating research was discussed along with the idea that The Jersey Devil may be a relative of another monster lurking in another remote area.

"George Noory spoke with investigator and author Ed Craft about Mysteries & Monsters. Craft shared his research into an enormous pterosaur-like flying animal that lives in the Congo region of Africa. The Congomatu, a name given by locals that means "destroyer of boats," reportedly comes out at dusk to attack villagers, carry off young children, and overturn boats. Craft suggested that pterosaur cryptids, like Congomatu, may have survived through the epochs (unlike other dinosaurs) because they could fly away from danger. He thinks the Jersey Devil may be related to pterosaurs as well.

Craft provided details from an encounter he had with the Florida Swamp Ape while on a Boy Scout campout. According to Craft, he heard a "blood-curdling scream" then saw a hairy 6-ft tall creature walking through the sawgrass. He said the animal appeared "more ape than human" and did not seem interested in him. Craft entertained the idea that what he saw could have been an escaped primate from a zoo. He also briefly mentioned his work on UFOs and disclosure issues.

Craft was joined in the second half-hour by his co-author Lisa Carmody, "The Deaf Anomalist," who discussed her interest in anomalous investigation and research. Carmody said she had always wanted to be a ghost hunter, and especially hoped to find scientific explanations for paranormal phenomena. She has been to the Tower of London, where some have claimed to see the ghost of Anne Boleyn..."

The Toys R Us Ghost #10

The Toys R Us Fhost ranks #10 in the 10 most popular ghost stories as found on About.com.
Sylvia Browne has written often of this young man whom she sees frequently.
From the article;

"10. The Toys R' Us Ghost:

Expect more than a Barbie or MatchBox car from the haunted Toys R' Us in California. This modern ghostly delight was built in 1970 over what was once the ranch of Johnny Johnson. Better known as Crazy Johnny in his day, mentally impaired Johnson bled to death after fatally cutting his leg with an axe in 1884.

Now, the crazed spirit has been spotted roller skating through the aisles of Toys R' Us, tapping customers and propelling toys."

Nancy's Enchanted Tree

In the South we often had our own "Crying Tree" or a "Courting Tree" was not uncommon.Just yesterday I found a post about an especially interesting tree: An enchanted tree.

"'Ent' the Magnolia Tree

This pic was taken on June 22, 2009. This Magnolia Tree [in Arlington, Tx] is probably 150+yrs old; if you look at it closely, it seems that there is a small man dressed similar to a jockey coming out of the center of the tree. I've visited this tree many times and feel it is Enchanted, hence, I call this tree an Ent."

Hauntings,"Demoted Angels"

Paranormal investigator and author Scotty Roberts on Coast to Coast AM Radio discussed the nature of demonic forces and hauntings.
He also talked about spirit beings such as fairies, and his work with Tarot cards.

In conducting investigations into ghostly phenomena, he stressed the importance of the credibility of the investigators who use detection devices such as the Ghost Box. He's concluded that ghosts of deceased people do exist-- some are trapped here, some want to communicate, and there are also demonic spirits that want to distract or cause difficulty.



Roberts described an episode of demonic attachment he underwent, in which the apparitions of two scraggly children appeared at the foot of his bed. He recommended Adam Blai's website which looks at demons from a religious perspective.

Beings such as fairies, leprechauns, elves, and elementals could be thought of as "demoted angels"-- they remained neutral in the angelic war, and thus were bound with the Earth, he offered. They may have started out as greater beings, and over time receded in size, influence, and visibility, he suggested. Regarding the Tarot, he said the cards don't always tell you what you want to hear, but rather what you need to know. Starting in July, Scotty Roberts will host a new show on Dark Plains Radio.
