Paranormal Experiments

Paranormal research is the study of unexplained phenomena or things we still do not fully understand. Many scientists and researchers have changed the way we look in the world. Without their ideas and experiment’s we would still believe the planet Earth is flat. And the concept of time and space would not be understood. It is the desire for knowledge that keeps a researcher researching. Paranormal Researcher’s have different objectives which include; educating the public, to gather information to better understand unusual or unexplained phenomenon, to scientifically prove the existence of paranormal event’s and to bring the paranormal study to the mainstream sciences. 

Fire Gazing Video Experiment:
Since ancient times people have been gazing into roaring bonfires as a way to foretell future events. By claiming to have a vision of the future or future events or even a glimpse of the spiritual world. The technique of fire gazing is a fairly simple one. All that you need to do is to stare into a fire for a length of time. By looking or fixating at the flames, and at the glowing wood. Staring above or below the flames or wood, even gazing at the smoke. Visions of the future or spiritual world appear would just appear. The goal is a transition into an altered state of consciousness or heightened state of awareness. Some say this ancient technique, of scrying, can produce startling results. 

In this experiment we used modern day technology, of a video camera, with a twist of old fashioned methods of what the ancient people once did. Offering a modern person a glimpse of what was once comsidered heresy or witch craft. In our experiment the photographer aimed the video camera at a bonfire in the evening hours and simply took a video. Gaze and see the images yourself and decide if it's a vision of the future, glimpse of the spiritual world, random and meaningless, or heresy from a time long ago. 
Interpreting the images can be perplexing and even complex. It is said that the symbols closest to you will be the ones of most importance. And time is judged by position of the symbols. Near the top of the fire is said to be in the present time. The lower down the fire an image appears, the further into the future it will be. The symbols on the left side of the fire are more than likely to be negative nature. While the symbols on the right side of the fire are more positive. Any symbol that faces you may well have a more specific meaning or direct effect. And any not facing you will have a more indirect effect. 

During tenuous ancient times any scrying or gazing would have been hidden from the public, for fear of being persecuted. Early in history any type of divination by fire, would have been considered heresy by the Inquisition. Just a few hundred years ago such a person would be labeled a witch, by early settlers. Now a days skeptics feel it's the same as looking at a cloud in the sky and finding shapes which are meaningless or random. Or even claim that it's a play of light and shadow on our imaginations. 

Ghosts And Mirror Superstitions
There are many Superstitions surrounding mirrors throughtout history some are...

11) And if someone sees their reflection in a mirror from a room where someone has recently died, they will die soon too. 

Some experiments are based the ancient technique of gazing or scrying in combined with modern technology of using a video camera. With scrying the goal is a transition into an altered state of consciousness or heightened state of awareness. By exploring these ancient techniques in combination with a video camera we are researching into an area of unexplained paranormal phenomena. Could these experiments offer the living a chance at a visual communication with spiritual world? Or a vision or omen of the future? 
Mirror Gazing Video Experiment
In This experiment we are using a method of a video camera on mirrors to give the living a chance at a possible communication with spiritual world. The technique of mirror gazing is a simple one. Just stare into a mirror for a length of time, in the dark, or with a small candle lit for light. Any type of mirror may be used for scrying or gazing and the size is not important. The goal is a transition into an altered state of consciousness or heightened state of awareness. At first when mirror gazing the mirror may appear gray then colors will come and go. After a period of time one should reach this altered state and then see the mirror turn smoky or blurry. At this time one would see images like silhouettes, or photographs, even crystal clear like a video. 

In our experiment we we used a Ion Air Purifer which puts ion changed energy in the air. We are also using a Digital Video Camera but any kind of video camera would probably work for this experiment. We also used a full length mirror for maxium coverage. In the same room we had our Ion Air Purifer located directly behind the mirror. And in front of the mirror we had a psychic medium holding the camera while sitting on the floor aiming the camera in all directions at the mirror. At the moment in the video when the medium sensed spirits in the room, is when the images appeared on our video. 
Visions of the future or a glimpse of the spiritual world?
The mystical art of mirror gazing goes back as far in time as mirrors themselves. Ancient people thought that mirror's are magical. Throughout the history of time people thought they were a powerful method for encountering one's unconsciousness. Others believe that a mirror can be a portal for spirits to enter into our world or dimensions. 

Michel De Nostradamus a famous French prophet, favored this method of divination and he believed that mirrors can give a vision of the future or future events. He even believed that they could give a reflection into the spiritual world. 

American President Abraham Lincoln found information through a mirror vision. He was reclined on a couch, and looked over at a bureau upon which was a looking-glass. He was shocked to see a strange double image of himself exactly alike. One image was paler than the other image. Mrs. Lincoln claimed it was an omen.

Most paranormal researchers feel ghosts are made up of energy. And as energy they need electronically charged ions from the air as their fuel or food. These ions can be found in the air naturally and ionized air holds more energy. When a ghost is trying to manifest or move an object they need this electrostatic charged ions to give them the strength. It is widely believed that mirrors reflect this electromagnetic energy. At a haunted location when a ghost is trying to make contact with a paranormal investigator, the investigators batteries in their equipment will be drained of power. Some believe that a psychic medium can feel or sense this charged or changed energy in the air. Many researchers believe that by using an ion generator will help increase paranormal activity. This will help with a scientific investigation at any so called haunted location.
Many paranormal researchers feel that spirits vibrate at a higher frequency. Another theory is spirits move at a faster rate because they are in a lighter spirit form. Could video cameras offer us a effective way of exploring this very ancient technique of mirror gazing? And since many average video cameras take 6-8 pictures a second it might be possible for a video camera to capture images of spirits. We are researching into seeing these spirits by looking at each single frame of the video.
Skeptics feel this is just merely arbitrary, random and meaningless like images found in the clouds in the sky. Or that the mirror's themselves have impurities or fault lines in them. They even claim that it's a play of light and shadow on our imagination. 

Could this method of using a video camera on mirrors give the living a chance at a visual communication with spiritual world? Could mirrors give us a vision of the future or an omen? Watch the video and decide for yourself if it's paranormal or simply arbitrary.
Spirits On Video Experiment 
Spiritualist believe that spirits use many different ways to communicate with us. And spirits impressing images on photos or videos, to pass imformation to us, would be just one of them. Some paranormal researchers feel that spirits vibrate at a higher frequency. So if spirits vibrate at a higher frequency could they then move at a faster rate? Maybe in order to catch them on video we need to look at each single frame from a video to possibly capture a glimpse of the spiritual world. Since some video cameras takes 6-8 photos per second it might be possible for a camera to capture images of spirits. And these images would only be seen if each and every photo in the video were examined more closely. We did just, in our experiment we took single frames from a video that was captured right at the time of dusk. 

Skeptics feel this is just merely arbitrary, random and meaningless like images found in the clouds in the sky. They even claim that it's a play of light and shadow on a overactive imagination. 

Gaze and see the images yourself and decide if it's a glimpse of the spiritual world. Or just random and meaningless and a play of light and shadow on a overactive imagination
Water Gazing Video Experiment
Since ancient times people have been gazing into water and claim they would see a vision of the future or get a glimpse of the spiritual world. Michel de Nostredame, a famous Prophet, used water gazing methods for some of his publishings. Since the times were more tenuous he was afraid of being persecuted for heresy by the Inquisition. Nowadays skeptics feel it's the same as looking at a cloud in the sky, and finding shapes which are meaningless or random. The photos you will see were taken in a private swimming pool with no-one else around except the photographer. The photographer aimed the camera at the water and took a video. Since most video cameras take 6-8 photos a second, each frame had to be examined one at a time. Gaze and see the images yourself and decide if it's a vision of the future, or a glimpse of the spiritual world.

Now a days skeptics feel it's the same as looking at a cloud in the sky, and finding shapes which are meaningless or random. The photos you will see were using a technique that is very basic. All it is is a pan filled with water. And the light source is from a stove top. The video camera was held in one hand. A finger from the other hand wiggled in the water to create ripples. The photographer aimed the camera at the water and took a video. Since many video cameras take 6-8 photos a second, each frame 
had to be examined one at a time. Gaze and see the images yourself...Were they a vision of the future or a glimpse of the spiritual world? Or just random and meaningless? Or even heresy from a time long ago?
