Are We Heroes?
What is mankind’s fascination with the paranormal and mystical really about? Is it a reoccurring fantasy of role playing that we have indulged ourselves in for millennia, or is it something much deeper that beckons us?
Let us explore the realm of the real super hero in all of us. Let us explore the possibilities of perception that will peel back the very veils of reality. Does something sleeping within us wish to awake?
How many of us play online games like World of War craft or Dungeons and Dragons? We’ve all seen a host of these games over the years. Every one of them speaks of magic and abilities ranging from weather manipulation, mesmerizing our enemies, casting spells that confuse our opponents, to having special magical sight and powers!
Seeing mankind’s innate desire to have more than just the ordinary perception of reality is as old as the Shamanic rituals of ancient times. From the peyote ceremonies of the Navajo Indians to the psychedelic movement of the 60′s we can see a recurring pattern in mankind’s quest to unveil a world more mystical.
What is this insatiable romance we have with the mystical? For eons man has wished to be inundated with mystical powers of the clairvoyant to the psychic, the psychokinetic to the prophetic.
However the reality of hokey psychic hotlines and parlor psychics are unfortunately something we see every day. But what if all of our curiosity and intrigue into the world of the paranormal and mystical, were really the subtle voice of something within us that mankind stopped using long ago?
The Sixth Sense. Every person has the ability to develop something within themselves that will literally change the way they see reality. Does it sound too incredible to be real? Twenty years ago remote viewing was a term only a few conspiracy theorists even knew.
Today the concept of remote viewing like in the movie Subject Zero, or the newest programs on psychics who find missing people are as common as a trip to the video store, or a Thursday evening on the Discovery Channel.
The truth of the matter is we are all fascinated by the possibility of becoming more than the ordinary selves we see each other as from day to day. All the more reason comic book characters typically have abilities that go far beyond the five senses.
The answer we seek is found by de shrouding the romantic from the practical. While not everyone is going to start of as a Nostradamus we all have had premonitions about things in our lives that were perhaps eerily accurate. We have all thought about someone only to have them call a few seconds later. We have even had dreams that have come true. Do these things wash themselves away during the bustle of our day to day life, or are they glimmers of something real?
Perhaps these common synchronicities are the first whispers of a dormant sensory? This sensory that in primitive times, when we didn’t have the tools, technology, or brain power to navigate us through life, was the dominant survival mechanism. Lets us imagine that that unused mechanism is still there, in the recesses of our consciousness subtly using its voice and giving us the clues we need to bring it forth.
The bottom line is that man has always been fascinated by the mystical, magical and the paranormal! From movies like the Matrix to X men, to popular television series like Heroes we have always thirsted for the unknown and unbelievable. Is there a hero in all of us? Perhaps we are simply listening to a long silent inner voice that is clamoring for its return to a place in our conscious minds once again!

The Basics of Paranormal Investigation
The word paranormal comes from the words “para” meaning beyond, and normal. So the term paranormal really means something that is beyond the normal scope of science or being beyond a scientific explanation. According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes “any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions.”
Ghosts generate strong electro-magnetic fields. These fields cause disruptions in the magnetic field of a location which makes it detectable by both specialized equipment and psychics. Ghost hunters use many different types of equipment to detect an paranormal phenomena. A 35mm or digital camera is probably the easiest and least expensive way to begin. Pictures, whether digital or recorded on film have the ability to capture paranormal activity that is usually invisible to the naked eye. In addition to a camera, it’s important to have a flashlight since most paranormal investigations will be in dark places like cemeteries, basements, attics, or old buildings. Also, most investigations occur between 9pm and 6am when it’s dark. This is believed to be the best time to record paranormal activity. Along with the flashlight you’ll need extra batteries, since batteries will sometimes mysteriously lost all their charge during paranormal investigations, literally leaving you in the dark.
Once you have these basic items, you’re ready to start exploring the world of paranormal investigation. Some important things to remember are: never go on an investigation alone, and be respectful of the of the people, places and situations you encounter.
The first step in an investigation is selecting the place you’re going to investigate. Once you choose a location, be sure to get permission to access the property to ensure you won’t get into any trouble for trespassing. It’s also very important to do some research on the location before you go out and physically investigate it. You can go to the library and look up old newspapers, visit the local historical society to find out about the history of the place and if anything strange has happened there, and of course talk with the owner of the property.
Once you get all your data collected you have to analyze it. Every picture, video, audio recording is reviewed to look for any sign of a haunting. When doing your analysis, be sure to be skeptical. Make sure you rule out any explainable causes for anything odd that may show up. Check for mirrors, shadows, light sources or anything else that may cause something weird to be seen or heard in your collected data. Most of the time, the things you initially detected during your investigation will have real world explanations as opposed to supernatural ones. It’s important to make sure your evidence will stand up to any scrutiny by eliminating any other explanations. This will give your data more credibility.
Once you complete your analysis, you need to present your findings property owner. At this point you would recommend whether the owner needs to seek additional help, such a having the property blessed or if there is really nothing that needs to be or even can be done. Sometimes just having someone investigate the place and find nothing can help ease the mind of the person experiencing the haunting.
