A little message

Hey, Students of the Supernatural!

So, at the moment, I'm on my own here at Ghostguard. None of my former team members are interested in the Paranormal, but I'm considering this as an actual future during College. So, I'm going to have a break after the next two videos.

Don't worry, this is not the end. In fact, this is near the beginning. But be prepared for a break in videos again. Sorry.

(Also, do any of you know how to make your recorded voice sound more like your real one? My voice on the videos sounds nothing like my actual one, so I need some help sounding less like a twelve year old kid.)

Happy Hunting, and be sure to trust me! New members sounds like a good plan!

On Deserts, the CIA and Weather Balloons: 71 Years since Roswell.

Back in 1947, a mysterious object crash landed in the Town of Roswell, New Mexico. It caused a large stir at the time, the effects of which are still felt today in the UFO and Paranormal communities all around the world.

Everyone knows about Roswell, due to the media often comparing other UFO sightings to it, no matter how dissimilar they are. It was the first recorded instance (that I know of) where dead bodies of aliens were seen by normal people. It was also possibly the first time people knew the US Government intervened and the first time the "It was a weather balloon!" explanation was used.

The aliens were the standard "Greys". Three Three-fingered grey humanoid beings with no ears and very large eyes, each clad in silver suits, ones not too dissimilar to those used during the Mercury and Gemini space programmes from 1961 to 1965, only much smaller and with no helmets. The alien's bodies were taking away, and a video was released in 1998 showing an autopsy on one of the bodies. However, this video was a definite fake. Do not believe it!

Roswell is now home to the UFO Museum, where the incident is investigated. I've never been to the museum (Or anywhere in New Mexico at all) but it is apparently okay, although now lacking some information discovered more recently.

Who knows where those aliens came from? Similar ones have been seen all over the world, now piloting triangular ships like the ones seen in 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2016 to present. These original ships are the typical flying saucer, possibly an earlier craft as these are not seen often anymore. Similar aliens have also been seen in the Lonnie Zamora case, and the one in the English forest I don't remember the name of.

The case is famous, the most famous of the twentieth century. Now all we need is your opinion and some answers...

See you on the flip side, and Happy Hunting!

Thomas' Spirit Guide!

One of the aspects of Ghostbusters that has seemingly failed to catch on in real life is Tobin's Spirit Guide, the comprehensive guide to the ghostly by imaginary investigator, John H Tobin. However, in real life, no books like this exist, meaning we have to rely on the internet. Now, the internet is trustworthy, look at the innumerable amounts of convincing sightings (Lots of which come from the great Top5s) but there's so much stuff on it finding one you want is incredibly difficult, not to mention all the fakes and misunderstandings that are up there too!

This is why we need a comprehensive-yet-portable guide for investigations. We can't rely on the internet to even work for us, as some sightings have been reported to have interfered with phone signal and internet connection! And there's just something about a book isn't there?

So what do you think, does a book like this need to be written to compile the scientific evidence we've found? Or can we rely on another method of finding information? Tell us in the comments! And, of course, Happy Hunting!

The Lay of the Land

If you watched Ghostbusters III: Answer the Call back in 2016, you will probably have heard of Lay Lines. However, what you may not know is that they are a real phenomena that many are trying to prove. I have no real opinion, as there's not enough evidence for my liking, but what's been observed is very intriguing.

Lay Lines are large lines that cross over entire countries all across the planet, which cross over points of ghost sightings. These usually pass through stone circles such as the famous Stonehenge, leading some to believe that these stone circles are linked to the paranormal, one of the many supposed links between the two.

Whether you have a definite opinion on Lay Lines, they are an interesting idea that some people use to bring some sort of order to the Paranormal, something which is needed to sort out the science of it! But are they edging too close to the spiritual to be real? Or do ghosts really follow these lines? Perhaps we'll never know, but a little speculation wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for reading, see you in the summer for our next investigation and Happy Hunting!

What Ghostbusters got right. (Clue: Nearly everything)

Since the late 1800s, people have been into Paranormal Investigation, but one thing brought it into the public eye and renewed everyones thoughts on the Paranormal. The 1984 comedy-horror-action film Ghostbusters.

Everyone knows something about Ghostbusters, it's part of New York's culture now and that ain't going away pretty soon. But what people don't usually realise is how much of an effect it had on the world of the Paranormal Investigators. Ghostbusters created the craze, but how much did it really get right?

Well, writer Dan Aykroyd, the guy who plays over-enthusiastic paraphysicist Dr. Ray Stantz, was descended from Paranormal Investigators and claims to have seen ghosts himself. (Although he never calls them that, he refers to them simply as "Unidentified Lights") This should give you a clue on where the idea came from.

Ghostbusters also got critical appraisal from psychologists, according to Harold Ramis in "The Making of The Real Ghostbusters (Awkwardly presented by Rolf Harris). The science of Ghostbusters, especially The Real Ghostbusters, which was a Kid's Show! Talk of theories about other Universes and particle destabilisation and other unproven scientific concepts had surprisingly large grounds in real scientific thought!

Ghostbusters however did not get everything right. There is no "miracle" way to detect the paranormal like the PKE meter. We have to look for effects, in a similar way to the detection of black holes. The existence of Ectoplasm is highly doubted, with ONE convincing piece of evidence, whereas there being a myriad of types in Ghostbusters. Finally, famous ghost sightings are compiled into a guide, known as Tobyn's Spirit Guide. No book exists that is comparable to Tobyn's (yet).

So there you have it. Sorry about the large gap, but the next post is ready and will be uploaded later today. Be sure to check back tomorrow as well for more! The exams are finally over and we at Ghostguard can get back to videos! See you then, and Happy Hunting!

The Return of Ghostguard!

Sorry we've been gone for a few weeks. Exams and that have stifled our time for investigating the otherworldly! But now, as half our exams have been completed, this blog will be back in a action! This week there will be four posts, not including this one!

Firstly, we have a post dedicated entirely to Ghostbusters! Then we have another Local Legend underway, this time describing the Promenade Couple of Aberystwyth Prom. This will be followed by a new series, which I'm keeping under wraps for now and then a review of the K-2 EMF Meter I received back in January which has now been field tested in a haunted location!

Be sure to check us out on Youtube, although we haven't uploaded anything new, and won't until every exam is finish in early June.

Happy Hunting guys, and don't forget to check out the Paranormal Database on GOOGLE+ for more Paranormal Escapades from us, our allies at Creepy Seven Paranormal and many others, quite a few of whom are in Mexico. See ya' around!
