Northeast Forensic Paranormal Research

In the field of Paranormal Investigations I have received a great deal of support from the veterans when I got started. In every possible way I try to extend that support and courtesy. This support however requires mutual respect and support in return. This weekend something very disturbing and outright disrespect for all ethics occurred.

This past year, a new investigation team appeared in the Capital District of New York State. This group as assumed the name of "North East Paranormal Society." They also use the acronym N.E.P.S. This group also uses the name Northeast Paranormal Society. Since the appearance of this group many people have stated that this group is attempting to ride my coat tails, these people have made their feelings very clear on this matter. I attempted to show some support for this group which is headed by Josh, Dave and Jan Lajeunesse. I issued a statement on their behalf regarding the remarks made against them. This past weekend this group abused my support.

North East Paranormal Society went to a site which I have an ongoing investigation in. They made false and misleading statements to the property owners attempting to gain access to this site. They stated that there was a working partnership with me. That I was going to be part of a workshop for them and that there was a full commitment from me on this workshop and working partnership. At no time did this group approach me about being part of a workshop nor is there any working partnership. When the site owners called me to confirm this event and partnership with me, it was the first time that I heard of any such event or partnership. After this occurred, I received an unsolicited email from Josh Lajeunesse. In this email he states the site owners are the ones who lied. The owners are highly trust worthy and have no reason to lie, Josh does have a reason to lie.

Let me make this very clear, this was not a miscommunication between North East Paranormal Society and myself, there was no agreement and no such event ever discussed or planed. This was an outright attempt to gain access to a site that I have an investigation commitment with and a full investigating in progress. This in my opinion is riding my coat tails. I no longer support this group in any way nor are my comments supporting them valid. If anyone within my network of friends supporters or anyone I have a working relationship with is contacted by this group, know this, they do not have my authority or support in any matter that they contact you with. What they attempted was nothing less than deceitful. If you are considering contacting North East Paranormal Society for an investigation you need to take this in consideration before you let them in to your site or home.

Neps or North East Paranormal Society, Stalking?

I have a number of investigations ongoing however, I need to stop yet again to deal with North East Paranormal Society or NEPS or Northeast Paranormal Society. You would think that Josh, Dave and Jan Lajeunesse would just stop after my first blog on this matter, that is not the case.

Whenever someone goes on my website, I know when, for how long, and what they do on the site. I generally do not tell people this for certain reasons. From the beginning of NEPS they have routinely and constantly monitored my site with bad intentions. They go to pages like "What are People Saying," "Friends," "In the News" and so on. Most recently, NEPS has gone into my Friend/Member section to collect the profile information on a number of my friends. They go to the links that are established on my links page and make contact with those other sites. This clearly is an ongoing effort to shadow me and ride my coat tails. In my opinion this is an obsession that is crossing into stalking. They attempt to make comments on the site and after they were deleted from the friends page. The first time they listed themselves on my friends page, they did so without my knowledge or consent.

Up to this current day, they continue to attempt and access this site. Keep in mind I welcome people to this site who have a genuine interest in the paranormal however this in my opinion crosses a line.

Most people that discuss this term always start out with a definition which is, German, literally means - “noisy ghost.” This means that the term can be applied to more than 90 percent of all hauntings. My experience is that the vast majority of my cases have included noises such as knocking, steps, voices and so on. This would mean that all of those cases were about poltergeists, as the term is defined that would be correct.

The point that I am making is that ever since the movie Poltergeist came out in the 1980’s people automatically associate “poltergeist” with all things evil and that is not the case. I assure you that your face will not be sucked off of you and you will not end up in side you television. Poltergeist is not a separate category of haunting, it is only a term used to describe a noisy haunting nothing more.

You can have a “poltergeist” that is an active entity, or an audio, visual imprinting. Imprinting is when audio, visual or both become recoded on the environment such as walls floors ceilings and such. When the conditions are correct the imprinting is played back just as a movie or song. Imprinting is also known as “Place Memory Haunting” or “Place Residue Haunting.”

I have seen many websites and individuals talk about poltergeist as if is it a very special class of ghost that needs special treatment. If you ever come across either you should be wary of the website or individual claiming expertise on the matter. One site that I have seen claimed that there is an enumerated process you must carefully adhere to in order to remove a poltergeist, this is total nonsense. There are ways to reduce a haunting and if you are dealing with an active entity there are ways to reduce the activity or even to encourage the entity to move on. However performing a ritual in the name of getting rid of an “evil poltergeists” is a way to separate you from your money.

For decades many serious paranormal investigators have work hard to dispel the stigma and stereo types of this research field. With the popularity of many television shows the "science" and "methodologies" used in these shows are flawed and poor at best. This past week a new "paranormal investigation" show has made its début. Extreme Paranormal is anything but a team of paranormal investigators. The so called methodologies and "Experiments" are not only not credible on any level, they are absolutely dangerous.

On the first show they used a so called "Blood Ritual" to "Summon" an entity. Specifically they found a location where a person died by fire. They then proceeded to make an outline of the body, poured a flammable liquid on the outline. The "Cult Expert" then proceeded to take a razor, cut himself and using his own blood drew makings in the area where the person died only to then ignite the flammable liquid.

First, when dealing with entities you are dealing with free will. An entity will make their presence known when it wants to. Using a superstition such as a blood ritual to summon an entity is just that, a superstition and has absolutely no place in any paranormal investigation. Second, there are many young investigators who routinely want to emulate what they see on television. Exposing them to this dangerous nonsense will create a situation where somewhere, a young team will believe that it is okay to cut yourself open. With the advent of deadly incurable blood diseases, this is a possible death sentence for a team member of a young impressionable team. 

In this episode the team then goes onto cause significant property damage in the name of "provoking" the entity. Again, there will be some young person out there thinking this is the correct way to investigate and they will cause property damage themselves. This will inevitably create a stigma that this is how all paranormal investigations are performed and people will not seek out or allow any investigative team onto their site. The three members of this team are reckless and the station that allows the show to air should be ashamed of themselves.

Over the years the mystique of the Ouija Board has grown with each passing year. The mystique has grown to the point where many people are terrified to be around one or to let one into their home.

The Ouija Board did not exist until the mid to late 1800’s. It was developed purely as a child’s toy that adults would play with from time to time. It was not a very popular toy for either the children or adults that used it. The popularity of this child’s toy took on an entirely new persona when Hollywood featured it in some horror movies in the early to mid 1900’s. From that time on the mystique has grown.

I can not stress enough that the image and mystique is purely fictional and having one will not open the door way to all things evil. Growing up, my brother just had to have an Ouija Board. When he got his Ouija Board, we played with it for a total of 7 times and nothing happened. The closest thing to a demon in the house was my father. The game lived up to its original reputation of being boring.

When this toy was created the view of death in our society was much different than today. Back then most people died in the home which made death a much more open part of life and kids experienced death as a more normal part of life. That is why the Ouija Board started as a morbid child’s toy. The view of death then is much different than today where people most likely will go to a hospital, hospice or a nursing home to die. Today the topic of death is much more sanitized.

The Ouija Board in terms of “communicating with the dead,’ you are better off investing in a quality digital recorder to record EVPs (electronic voice phenomenon). To further assist you, you should invest in a quality digital sound amplifier. The amplifier will give a real time scan for EVPs.

The Ouija Board in terms of psychics, mediums or sensitives, if some one pulls out a Ouija Board and claims that only they can properly use it that should be red flag to you. If they warn you not to use it because of what it will do, you need to seriously question their abilities as a psychic, medium or sensitive.
