Ghost Hunting Myths - What You Can't See Can't Hurt You!



In my research for my upcoming paranormal thriller Finders I found very real and scary warnings from current ghost hunters. Ghost Hunting is dangerous. Here is one of the warnings.

What you can't see can't hurt you is the biggest misconception many eager investigators or just curious people happen to make when exploring the actual world of paranormal activity and reported real hauntings. 


Anyone that endeavors to participate or investigate reported real hauntings and paranormal hotspots around the world must realize many supernatural encounters will permanently leave their mark and could change you for the rest of your life.


Whether a haunting is real or not many who have investigated haunted houses, cemeteries or even local urban legends have not walked away unscathed.
Ghosts can also throw things as well as moving heavy objects that might make a situations or locations dangerous to the living. 

From stumbling in the dark from your own missed step to being physically attacked by what some call unseen forces. You can and will at some point suffer injuries when hunting for real ghosts. 

Many real ghosts can and will inflict physical pain on the living. They can also take over your mind and possess you in the classic sense.

Many real reported ghost and hauntings also have a psychological effect on the living. Many individuals have been driven to madness by such encounters and never recover suffering from night terrors, PTSD, and traumatic depression.
A malignant spirit can induce severe depression, paranoia, sleeplessness, physical illness and even take control over someone’s actions. All of these or even some of these symptoms can destroy marriages, resulting in the loss of money and securities and even result in suicidal thoughts and action. 

Not all ghosts, as many would lead you to believe, are harmless though televisions shows and many paranormal investigators and writers will often tell you otherwise.

Romine's Review - Sold By Blair Denholm

Blurb


The Gold Coast swelters in record temperatures, and car salesman Gary Braswell's hot under the collar. With sales at rock-bottom, and up to his neck in debt to loan shark Jocko Mackenzie, Gary's sweating on a fat commission from a mysterious Russian couple.
If the loan is not repaid, there's more than Gary's kneecaps at stake - his long-suffering wife's also in peril. But Jocko demands more than repayment and has sinister plans for the hapless salesman.
Gary turns his skills to real estate and is soon embroiled in the murky world of money laundering. With the federal police sniffing around and Jocko on his tail, Gary concocts an audacious scam.
0Success means money - lots of it.
Failure means death.
But can hard-drinking, cocaine-snorting Gary pull it off?

20th Century Noir at its Most Entertaining!

Very much enjoyed this superbly paced, well written and engaging novel.
The author presents Gary as an ordinary man, with an ordinary life. As you read further you peel back the layers of Gary and his life, uncovering a severely flawed human being.  And while you want to hate the man for being a scoundrel and an idiot you feel sympathy for him.  The author, Blair Denholm carefully crafted this story with realism and subtle conscious you do not easily find in today’s genre piece.

The writing is blunt, frank and unapologetic, just like the character and yet there is a conscious grace and style that pulls you in and makes you want to know more.

A page-turner from the beginning, the author makes very logical choices in an illogical and sometimes absurd situation that is unnervingly realistic. You chuckle and enjoy while knowing that out there somewhere a poor sucker is mirroring Gary Braswell’s life.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves an exploration of the human condition and examining life choices and the sometimes – albeit subconscious—consequences. As I was reading, I was reminded of the shows Better Call Saul, Shameless, Breaking Bad, and the acclaimed novel “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”.

Reiki - Get in Touch with Your Soul


In my new book Finders, the main character, Claire Westin, suddenly finds herself interacting with the dead, her abilities suddenly awakening from a dormant sleep. In developing the character and experiences of Claire Westin, I began researching Mediumship and Physical Mediums. Reiki is a recommended practice for keeping balance and clarity within the soul. 

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy." So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense but transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. Successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
