I’ve already explained that I’m not posting any of my pictures until I feel like I’m in a safer environment, and I don’t feel like that way in this sub-forum as it is now.

That makes discussion difficult.

This should be a safe environment.

Really, why let anyone silence you? Don't let them win by silencing you.

Speaking as an old Jew who's put up with some ****** let me tell you.

It might mean you need a thicker skin for a bit but worth it.

Let me be clear in my response to you, so there is no room for the slightest hint of doubt. I am not, under any circumstances, afraid of skeptics of any shape or form. I am, however, sick and tired of the belligerent, loud mouth skeptic, who has made it their lives' mission to discredit me and publicly humiliate me. Unfortunately, I've met more of these skeptics than I have of the kind of skeptic I actually like. I like an honest skeptic, who is respectful and polite towards me, despite the fact that they don't believe in the paranormal themselves. They aren't rude and obnoxious, and they don't call me disparaging names in a relentless personal attack to slander me and embarrass me. They don't insult my intelligence or publicly accuse me of being out of ever-loving mind, either. I especially like the fact that they don't publicly accuse me of being demon possessed. That's definitely a plus, IMO.

My husband was a skeptic for a while, even after I told him about my ability to feel the presence of spirits, my ability to see spirits, and my ability to hear the disembodied voices of spirits. He was a skeptic until he went on a paranormal investigation with me at the Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He witnessed poltergeist activity with his own eyes, and he heard multiple disembodied voices with his own ears in real time during EVP sessions. He saw the thermal images and SLS images with his own eyes. My husband isn't a skeptic anymore. He's more open to talking about the paranormal now, and that means the world to me.

Speaking as a clairvoyant and a paranormal investigator, it's very gratifying to convince a hardcore skeptic that the paranormal is real. I'll admit that I feel vindicated whenever I see the shocked look on the face of a hardcore skeptic at the very moment they're convinced that the paranormal is real. It makes all the hard work of researching and investigating the paranormal worthwhile, IMO.

In that case I agree with @Watchmen .



Post the pics.

I thought I had made it abundantly clear that I'm not posting my pictures in this sub-forum as it currently is now. I've been 'fed to the lions' one too many times in other paranormal related posts online, and I've learned the hard way how to be more discerning about when and where I post my pictures. The truth is, I'm not comfortable posting any of my pictures in this forum at this moment in time, and I can't be swayed or coerced into changing my mind. I'll post my pictures when I'm ready, and not before.

Therefore, If you're reading this post, and you're thinking about posting some kind of retort with the words "post the pics," please don't bother. It would be a total waste of your time, and it will get you nowhere fast. As I said, I can't be swayed or coerced to post my pictures when I'm not ready to share them yet. Now, with that all said and done, I'd like to get back on track with my OP, and say that I'm planning to post an update on my ongoing paranormal investigation of the hotel sometime later today. And right now, I'm going to get back to my investigation of the hotel. I'll come back later on this evening to post my update. TTFN.

Before I post the update I promised on Tuesday morning, I would like to apologize for the long delay. I was preoccupied by my determination to wrap up my paranormal investigation before I had to leave the following afternoon. It was a very successful investigation that yielded approximately 172 EVPs combined from three separate recorders, and these EVPs were recorded in my presence or when I turned the recorder on and left the room. The EVPs were recorded inside the hotel, on the hotel grounds, and on the grounds of the abandoned funeral home. I recorded one EVP on a digital recorded that wasn't heard on the EVP recorder lying beside it, but I can't figure out what it says. My investigation also yielded multiple responses on the Spirit Box that were direct answers to my questions, poltergeist activity in the hotel's meeting room, a plethora of EMF spikes, and multiple SLS images that I was fortunate enough to capture. And lastly, I have a couple of disturbing photos that I captured while taking pictures in front of the abandoned funeral home that chilled me, and the hotel manager, to the bone. It was frightening to know that was next door.

I initially thought that the manager was the hotel's owner, but she told me that she only manages the hotel for the owners. She and I had a couple of long discussions while I was taking a break from investigating. She had asked me to keep her updated with what I found, and I told her I would show her my evidence. I suggested that she bring in a paranormal research team to investigate the hotel because the hotel is very haunted, but she told me that the owners would never allow it. She said the owners don't believe in the paranormal, and the knowledge that the hotel is haunted would scare off potential customers and the hotel would then lose business. I tried to explain to her that the knowledge the hotel is haunted could boost business, as it has at the Crescent Hotel & Spa, but she disagreed, and she wasn't willing to change her mind about it. I decided to ask her if I could share my evidence and experience at the hotel with other people, either in person or online. She did agree to this, as long as I didn't tell other people the name of the hotel or its location. I thought that was a reasonable compromise, and so I agreed to honor her request. I enjoyed my paranormal investigation at this hotel, and that's in spite of being frightened by the pictures I captured at the funeral home.

And finally, I give my word that I will post the evidence I collected during my investigation of this hotel once I'm assured that this sub-forum is a safe place for me to open up and share. As I've said, I'm more cautious about when and where to post the evidence I've collected during my paranormal investigations. I've been thrown to the lions and ripped to pieces one too many times, and I won't let that happen to me again. I'll post my evidence once this sub-forum is either changed to a DIR or a new private discussion group is opened for paranormal enthusiasts. Let me be perfectly clear about this, I won't post any of my evidence beforehand.

@Sgt. Pepper Your OP teased us believers who are really interested.

In my opinion, free speech and openness should not be restricted by bullies or we all lose. I battle against them all the time on here and then ignore when that becomes appropriate too.

Report any attacks that cross the line of appropriateness.

My paranormal investigation at this hotel and at the funeral home was successful and it yielded a sufficient amount of paranormal activity. I'm pleased that it turned out well for me. The most successful investigations I've ever had were at the Crescent Hotel and at the Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR. I've decided to take a break from investigating other locations for a while, though.

As I mentioned earlier, I investigated this hotel in East Texas for two and a half days. I'm glad that I was able to conduct a thorough investigation, because it yielded a lot of good evidence. I've already mentioned the Class-A EVPs, the EMF spikes, the SLS images, the pictures I captured at the funeral home, the Spirit Box activity, and the poltergeist activity in the meeting room. In my haste to post an update the other day and include everything I could remember, I forgot to mention the poltergeist activity I witnessed in the fitness room the second day I was in the hotel. My backpack was dragged a couple of inches from where I was sitting, and I captured SLS images of three spirits in the room. I think these spirits liked the attention because they were very active and playful.

Honestly, I've been kicking myself for telling the hotel manager that I wouldn't tell anyone the name of the hotel or its location, because I missed the perfect opportunity to contact the Ghost Adventures Crew. It finally dawned on me the other day that I could have contacted them and informed them about the paranormal activity I witnessed in the hotel. I could have also shown them the evidence I collected. Not only that, but I would have suggested that they come and investigate the locations themselves. I would have also mentioned the other two locations I investigated in the same town. But alas, I can't contact the GAC now because I won't break my word. I wish the hotel manager was more open to having the hotel investigated by a paranormal research team. I'm sure she would have flipped out if I had mentioned wanting to contact the Ghost Adventures Crew. I know she would be opposed to it.

Debater Slayer, Sedim Haba, and George-ananda,

I would like to thank you for your advice, and let you know that I appreciate it. I also wanted to say that since I posted this thread, I've reconsidered my position on posting my SLS camera images. However, I need to watermark my digital pictures before I post them in this forum, because I want to protect my intellectual property. I made the mistake once of posting a couple of my pictures in a paranormal group on Facebook, without watermarking them, and some jerk stole my pictures and claimed they were his. So, I had to convince Facebook that this man stole my pictures. It was a real pain, and I left my paranormal groups shortly afterward.

The images you see in these pictures I've posted were captured on my SLS (Structured Light Sensor) camera or on my SLS camera app (an app that I've repeatedly tested and compared to my actual SLS camera) at the hotel I've mentioned in this thread. Please don't share any of my pictures without my permission. As I explained in my previous post, I've already had to deal with a person online who stole my pictures and claimed them as his own. I hope that I don't have to deal with this happening to me on RF.

My request is simple... please respect my request and don't share my pictures without asking me first.

An SLS camera allows a paranormal investigator to capture video evidence of a spirit by detecting the spirit's form that can't be seen with the naked eye unless the spirit manifests. If you'd like to know how the SLS camera works, then click on this link, SLS Camera for Ghost Hunting [Ultimate Guide] to find out. My SLS is my favorite equipment to use during a paranormal investigation.

The SLS images were captured inside the hotel's fitness room. The first photo was captured on my SLS camera and the second photo was captured on my SLS camera app. One of the spirits that you see in the second picture dragged my backpack a few inches away from me while I watched, and then the spirit sat down on top of my backpack. I was amused by these spirits showing off, and I tried to capture their playful actions on camera, but I wasn't quick enough. Spirits can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide..."

I waved at this spirit, and it waved back at me.

This image was captured in the pool area. I watched a spirit on my SLS actually stand on top of the water near the edge of the pool, but apparently this spirit didn't want its picture taken because each time I asked if I take its picture, it immediately disappeared. I knew that capturing this epic moment of a spirit standing on water would be remarkable, but the spirit obviously didn't agree.

I'm back at this hotel, and once again, I've spent my time here communicating with the spirits. I walked around with my Spirit Box and SLS camera in hand, so I could communicate with the spirits and capture evidence at the same time. As I was investigating, I heard multiple voices on the Spirit Box, and I captured SLS images inside and outside the hotel. I heard a few names, and I received a few direct answers to my questions on the Spirit Box. For instance, I asked, "how many spirits are here with me right now?" and the response was "twenty." I did pick up on a negative entity in the stairwell and at that moment, a deep voice came through the Spirit Box and said, "unholy" and "malice." I don't feel like it was necessarily demonic because I didn't feel afraid or feel threatened (which are common vibes for me whenever a demonic entity is near me). I also didn't smell anything foul, which is another common occurrence whenever a demonic entity is nearby. If a demon is nearby, then I'll smell an awful stench of rotten eggs and sewage, and sometimes I'll even smell sulfur. Anyway, here are the SLS images I captured inside the hotel and on the grounds of the hotel.


















Here's a recap of the paranormal terms that I often use in my posts.

EMF - Electromagnetic Fields

An EMF meter (EMF detector) measure fluctuations in electromagnetic fields. It's a common theory among paranormal investigators that spirits have the ability to manipulate these fields. Unexplained EMF readings often indicate something paranormal.

EVP - Electronic Voice Phenomena

An EVP is the voice of a spirit interacting with living people through an EVP recorder or a digital recorder. A Spirit Box (Ghost Box) gives spirits the chance to speak in comprehensive sentences. A Class-A EVP is a direct and intelligent answer to a question.

SLS - Structured Light Sensor

An SLS camera can detect human shapes in absolute darkness or full light. It allows paranormal investigators to detect spirits that cannot be seen with the naked eye, unless the spirits manifest. It gives them the ability to see a 3D image (sort of like a skeleton) of a spirit. The green lines and white dots are a spirit that has been mapped out by the SLS camera through an infrared grid.

This SLS image was taken close to where I'm sitting in the hotel's dining area. My HP laptop screen glitched a few minutes ago, which it has never done before. The wallpaper was literally moving to the right of the screen, then it moved to the left side of the screen, and then it just stopped. The different tabs I have open quickly opened all at once and then minimized just as quickly as they were opened. Seriously, I've never seen the screen on my HP laptop screen glitch out like that before. It was startling to watch.

My Spirit Box and EMF meter are open and are sitting on the table next to my laptop, and both of these devices are going nuts. I'm hearing a few names and a strong male voice that said, "No camera." I was just standing towards the back of the room, and I was scanning the area with my SLS camera. I also scanned the pool, too. Apparently, there's an upset spirit in this room who doesn't like me scanning the area with my camera, and maybe they were trying to get my attention by manipulating my laptop. Well, it worked.

Did this East Texas hotel have a reputation for paranormal activity prior to your investigation?

No, this hotel didn't, and it still doesn't. In fact, the manager asked me to be discreet while investigating, and I've tried my best to be inconspicuous. I'm using my favorite paranormal apps on my iPhone and Samsung Galaxy rather than hauling around my handheld equipment. I asked the manager if I could share the evidence I collect while investigating the hotel, and she said it would be okay, but she asked me not to divulge the name of the hotel or its location. Her request was reasonable, so I readily agreed to her terms.

Now that you indeed found some interesting stuff you might revisit that conversation with the manager.
I like the way you honor your word.

I have shown her the recent evidence I've collected, but her mind hasn't changed. She said the owners of the hotel would never approve of my paranormal investigations, and I don't want to cause her a problem with her employers.
