Prayer for Protection

Creation of Charms

 During our hunts we are looking to get in contact with either Ghosts or Spirits, and we do make a distinction between the two. A Ghost is a Soul who has not quite completed their journey into the 'afterlife' or transitioned into full Spirit energy--while Spirits are Souls who have fully transitioned over, releasing all negative energy, their ego and their earthly lives here on this plane. Many Ghosts are 'stuck' until they are able to release those earthly things that are holding them here or able to transmute the negative energy they may be harboring. Some had a trauma in life that may have led to their death, and they hang onto the energy of that trauma keeping them trapped 'between the planes.' Spirits are beings of light and can come and go between the dimensions as they choose. They are filled with wisdom, love and positive energy.  Ghosts on the other hand can possibly cause trouble for the those who are still living if they are still carrying around negative emotions.

Crystals and religious charms are used

Before each hunt we gather as a group and say a prayer of protection to guard us against any negative energy and entities which may linger. Each of us created a custom Talisman for the purpose of protection. Those of us in the group who are Christian have crosses, those of us who are pagan have a goddess or pentagram, and all of us have certain gems and crystals whose job it is to transmute and reflect any negative energies that may come our way. Because we are a multi-faith group, we chose a prayer that has meaning equally for all of us.

"Great Spirits, Creators of All That Is, Please send to us the most positive energy and light possible in this time and space to watch over us and those we share this experience with. Send to us the highest force or forces possible to keep us safe, focused and positive in our intent. In return we give thanks and gratitude, love and positive light for the universal good of all. Blessings be Upon Us."

At the end of our hunt we give thanks to those Spirits/Ghosts who made an effort to make contact with us, send Blessings and White Light to those who may need help moving on or need peace.

Who We Are & What We Do

We are a small group with a big interest in the paranormal. We've each had our own personal metaphysical experiences that have left us with a natural curiosity for those things which cannot readily be explained. We are travelling around Addison County trying to make contact with any Spirits who may want to communicate with us. We are hoping these Spirits can give us some answers or clues to unexplained events, to help us understand their unfinished business and to possibly connect with our loved ones who have transitioned.

Before each hunt we research the site. This allows us to become familiar with the area, how old it is, what the area or building was or is used for, who may have occupied it, if any specific events happened, etc. It also allows us to ask more specific questions that pertain to the site and the possible Spirits inhabiting it.

Our attempts to make contact are being obtained by doing EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) sessions with both a digital recorder and a ghost box. The digital recorder may pick up disembodied voices that we can not hear with the human ear. The ghost box is a piece of equipment that a Spirit can use as a vessel to communicate with us. The Spirit is able to pick and choose individual words or small phrases from a scanning radio to answer our questions. These sessions are also recorded. Additional equipment used are, digital cameras to try and capture any apparitions that may not have been seen at the time of our hunt. Flashlights are used to allow an entity to communicate with us by asking strictly yes or no questions. They are able to turn the flashlight on and off to respond. And finally, we open ourselves up to experience, sights, sounds, smells and touch from beyond.

While we seek to make contact and possibly have a conversation with those who have passed, we most certaintly don't want to bring anyone home with us! We are also aware that not everyone we encounter will be nice. As a result we take extra precautions for protection through prayer, invokation and positive light energy. More to post on this subject later!

We will be continuously posting our experiences, photos and recordings to share with you. We hope that you will find them informative and interesting. They may even possibly give you a piece of mind about something you've always wondered about. We are not against visiting a site a second time. let us know if you would like us to ask specific questions next time or have us inquire about anything else you would want us to know about a site and is occupants. We will make note of these and schedule to visit them again.

We have several locations that we hoe to investigate, however, we are always looking for more. Please feel free to email us at Addisoncountyghosthunters@gmail.com or visit us on Facebook. We welcome any information you can provide to us on these locations. your information, not matter how big or small, could greatly improve our investigations and help us to find the answers we may be looking for. We would also love to hear your own personal 'ghost story'. Who knows.... maybe the next knocking sound you hear will be us at your own front door!

Origins

Two ladies. One office. Long lunch breaks. Ghost stories! Lori and I began our affair together with the paranormal over lunch at the office, swapping ghost stories and waxing philosophical about the afterlife. Lori is a Christian with values and beliefs which follow the path toward heaven/hell/purgatory-- I am a Pagan who believes in reincarnation and that life/death is cyclical rather than just a destination. We both philosophize that ghosts are lost souls who have unfinished business, traumatic trapped negative energy or who are unable to let go of their earthly Life. Though our spiritual backgrounds are different, our belief in the existence of ghosts is the same and just as resolute. The belief is more of a feeling of truth in the heart solidified through personal experience rather than by any hard physical evidence; (though what we have seen and heard on our favorite TV shows Ghost Hunters & Ghost Story is quite thrilling!) Our purpose in forming the group stems from our fascination with the afterlife and what happens to the energy of the soul when the body is gone, and our desire to capture that dimension of existence through experience using our 'earthly' equipment. Through the magic of Facebook we connected with some other like-minded friends and voila! It will be interesting to see what adventures lay ahead and what kind of personal realizations may take place!
