Are There Animals/Pets in Heaven?

By Lisa Grace

Since this time of year focuses on love, nothing quite proves love like the loss of a loved one. Sadly, our golden retriever, Taffy, passed away two years ago at Christmas. This was our second one without her. My daughter never knew a day without her beloved dog before Taffy’s death.

At school this year, our daughter (now in the second grade) announced the hope of seeing her beloved pet in Heaven someday.

Her teacher informed her, “There will be no animals in and certainly no pets in Heaven.” My daughter came home from school in tears at the thought of never seeing her beloved pet again.

Unfortunately, I’ve come across several teachers and preachers who say there won’t be animals in Heaven.

I disagree and I believe I have Biblical proof on my side.

In a way, this is kind of thinking is funny because I’ve heard many a Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, and Catholic sermon where they boast of the feasts they will have in Heaven. And as far as I can remember, not a one was talking about a vegan feast either. (All though my Messianic Rabbi does.) So if they’re going to have animals to eat (which is another whole post in itself, which I’ll be happy to chat about on another day), why in Heaven wouldn’t they be there as pets?

There is plenty of proof in the Bible that animals will certainly be there. For instance, when the new Jerusalem descends and we have that perfect time on Earth, where will the animals come from? The Bible says the world will be destroyed and there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. (Rev 21:1) .

The prophet Isaiah talks about the time after the judgment and how the lion will lie down with the lamb, and children can play with asps and scorpions. It even says the lion shall eat hay. (Isaiah 11:6; 11:8; 66:23).

Another proof is that this world is a shadow of Heaven. For it to be a shadow, the real thing must exist in Heaven. (Hebrew 8:5 NIV)

In the book of Romans it says the whole of creation calls out. Why would animals be crying out if it leads to their ultimate destruction? Obviously, they’re longing for paradise too. (Rom 8:22)

In the book of Philippians it says all things in the earth and under the earth and in heaven (implies living things) that every knee should bow. Things? (Philippians 2:10)

It gets better. In the book of Revelations it mentions every creature in the sea. (Rev 5:13) How’d they get there if the seas are destroyed? They’re either re-created or they’re there to begin with.

The best proof there are indeed animals in Heaven is the fact that it says the Messiah will come back riding on a white horse. (Rev 6:2, 19:11) Horses are mentioned as coming from Heaven fourteen times in the book of Revelation (eight verses say horse, six say horses).

And the best proof? The four beasts before the throne are mentioned over and over. It mentions angels separately, so these are not classified as angels. There are wonderful creatures in Heaven that we have not seen yet on Earth. (Revelations 19:4)

There are clearly animals in Heaven so while it doesn’t specifically say “pets”, I believe there are. Why? Because very few things bring pure joy like the love from a pet and to your pet; and as we know, God is love. (1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16)

THE REPORTER X THEME

DISTURBING PARANORMAL BEHAVIOR

Due to the notoriety that my name carries within the paranormal community I spend what little free time I have lurking and watching, rather than participating in the activities that occur online by various paranormal groups and discussion sites. Much of what I see is harmless as sometimes they know what they are talking about and other times they have to be making it up as they go. Sometimes I have to bite my tongue because some of it is very disturbing not only in the actions they take but just who is doing it.

Approximately 1.5 – 2 yrs ago, there was a Face Book “war” so to speak between PWSM/TPG (Paranormal Warriors of St. Michael & Taunton Paranormal Group).  Apparently, they were working 4 psychics and for some unknown reason, they parted ways with the psychics.  What I found disturbing was that the members of TPG posted pictures of the psychics defaming them.  Calling them such names as Frauds, fakes, liars.  They seemed to have singled out the leader of the psychics, and posted an isolated picture of her with the caption of “Nut & Fraud”. Not only is this horrible to do to someone but this also opened them up to be sued and/or arrested for cyber bulling.  With this, I decided to check out the website and personal face book pages of the women as I had seen that one being called a nut & fraud along with another woman whose picture was posted and defamed.

I found this behavior very disturbing as these people claim to be doing God’s work yet they had no problem defaming these women on a worldwide forum.  Regardless of their reasons, I found this behavior to be juvenile and to be honest, for those CLAIMING to do God’s work, disgusting. What I truly found disturbing and disgusting was the added comments by their associate Fr. Bob Bailey.  He, as a Priest, should not only have not participated in this behavior.  He should have discouraged it, not encouraged it.

I never commented, but I followed the posts which went on for, if I recall correctly, a couple of months. 

At some point, in the late Spring or early Summer of 2011, a post was made on the wall of Fr. Bob Bailey & the PWSM Network page about these women wearing THEIR team shirts and claiming to be part of this group and they were lying.  Now my curiosity is aroused because the public is getting only one side of the story, so via face book, I contacted both of the women I saw on The Haunted,  Paula O’Brien & Deb Carmone and what they had to tell me was not only astonishing, but appalling.

After hearing what they had to say, I feel that the OTHER side of the story needs to be told and someone needs to know that things are not what they seem with this team and Fr. Bob Bailey.  In the paranormal world, Fr. Bailey has made quite a name for himself and from what I told, he is more focused on being a TV star and certainly does not conduct himself in an appropriate manner as a Priest.  Like I stated above, I was appalled and I felt that this should be brought to the surface as these women have been just about ruined in the paranormal world because of the fact that the public believed what was said about them on the Taunton Paranormal Group’s face book due to the fact that it was authenticated by the comments of a priest.

I am familiar with you trying to expose things such as this through a mutual face book friend and so this email.  Here is the story that was told to me:

As I stated, the two groups parted ways.  The Paranormal Warriors of St. Michael consisted of Fr. Bob Bailey & 4 psychics.  Paula O’Brien, who was the co founder of The Paranormal Warriors along with Fr. Bailey, Deb Carmone, Cyndi Mattison & Rochelle Carmone.  They worked in conjunction with a paranormal group called The Taunton Paranormal Group.  At one point, Fr. Bailey decided that the format which The Paranormal Warriors of St. Michael were using during their investigations was going to change.  He made this decision without consulting the co founder, Paula O’Brien or the other psychics and announced in a meeting he called with the women and 3 members of the Taunton Paranormal Group.  Founder Lou Toledo, Co Founder- Rob Jacobs (who by the way, states on their website that he is Founder of Taunton Paranormal Group. Lie!  Lou Toledo, no longer with the group was) and their newest member Al Fetta (no longer with their group).  The women were not in agreement with the new plan.  

According to Paula, during a meeting, Fr. Bailey stated his new format. Regardless of what the women said, it was going to be HIS way and they had no say. They were so taken aback by all of this, that Paula decided that she wanted to have a meeting with just the 4 psychics and the Taunton Paranormal Group without Fr. Bob to get their opinion regarding his new “regime” because during the meeting, they (TPG) were very quite. Never really stated their opinion and every time one of the women tried to express theirs, Fr. Bob would talk over or over rule so they wanted to have a meeting without him present to get a feel as to how everyone really felt about the changes and then Paula would have planned on sitting down with Fr. Bob, one on one to discuss.  She sent an email to Rob Jacobs requesting such a meeting, the women and the “Taunton Boys” as she called them.  Rob sent the email to Fr. Bob and without even asking for an explanation or talking to Paula regarding, he sent her & Deb a nasty email telling them he was breaking up the group and Paula was no longer the co founder.  Personally, I never heard of someone UNco founding a cofounder but, whatever.  The women took the name of The Paranormal Warriors and Fr. Bob kept the original name of The Paranormal Warriors of St. Michael and combined it with the Taunton Paranormal Group and they are now known as Fr. Bob Bailey & PWSM Network.  Taunton Paranormal Group still have their own website but they still work with Fr. Bob and Rob Jacobs is now his new sidekick.

Fr. Bob would not listen to reason and with a day or so, the pictures of the women went up on face book and the war began.  These women were under defaming attack.  Members of  TPG starting posting comments that were supportive of the defamation and Fr. Bob posted little comments that supported what TPG were claiming and that the women knew were aimed at them.  He would quote things that the women would say. Example:  Paula, who is a Wiccan would say to them, in jest when they would tease her “Do I need to remind you that I can get to you without even being there”. So when they would tease her she would shorten it by saying “Do I need to remind you…”   Rob would make a nasty comment and Fr. Bob would post “Do I need to remind you…”  Rob’s response:  “Yeah...go ahead and remind me”. I escalated so bad that Paula had to get an attorney to issue a Cease & Desist Order to Fr. Bob to stop or an injunction would be started to sue them.  The order was ignored.

The barrage of insults kept on coming and Paula emailed both Fr. Bob & Rob and asked them to remove the pictures and the blogs as she did not want to sue them.  Again, ignored so at that she printed out everything from face book and sent it to the Bishop.  The Bishop’s assistant called Paula, she told him what was going on and he assured they would address it with Fr. Bailey.  They were also reported to Face Book by Paula and Deb Carmone.  The pictures and blogs were removed, so they are assuming Fr. Bob was talked to by the Bishop and, face book may have taken action.  That they do not know for fact.

During all of this, I noticed the women never retaliated by posting anything comparable about Fr. Bailey and/or the Taunton Paranormal Group.  I found that interesting, so I asked Paula why.  She said because they chose the high road rather than stoop to the juvenile level of Fr. Bob and his “merry men” is what she called them. (lol)

Everything was quiet for a matter of months and then in the late Spring or early Summer of 2011, a post appears on the Fr. Bob & PWSM Network face book page.  It mentioned that there is a group of psychics going around wearing their T-Shirts and claiming to be part of their group. It also stated that they (PWSM) were in no way associated with that group.  Obviously, he was talking about Paula’s group and Paula said “I kept my silence long enough.  I went ballistic when someone brought that post to my attention.”  So I posted that “there is a group going around stating that we are wearing their T-shirts.  I said, We paid for them. One of our team member’s business sponsored them so from my point of view, they are wearing OUR shirts.”  She said a number of members wrote back with comments of support for her comment.  People were getting sick of seeing these women bashed.  People were putting comments on PWSM’s face book page telling them to leave these women alone. That they have not posted anything negative about them.

Paula said she sent an email to Fr. Bob telling him that once again, this crap is starting up. That those shirts belong to the women just as much as PWSM even more so as they were sponsored by Deb’s company and that they (the women) do NOT claiming nor have they ever claimed to still be part of PWSM. She said at lectures, they give the history of the group and mentioned that they were all one group but she said she just mentions that the group broke up into two.  She said she told Fr. Bob that whoever his spy is is giving him erroneous information.  She said Fr. Bob answered the email but he never addressed the issue.  He just reiterated why the original group broke up to begin with and then told her he will block her email so he never has to hear or deal with her again.  How ironic!  They start a problem and then he responds like that! 

The other thing I find interesting is according to what Paula & Deb told me, after the 2nd Haunted episode that they did, The Demonic Seduction, Fr. Bob received a call from Betsy (don’t know her last name) & Michal Rosen from Animal Planet and they want to offer the team (they were still together at this time) a series called Demon Hunter.  Paula said Fr. Bob and us were very excited as you can imagine.  She said Fr. Bob told Mike that he had to talk to his Bishop about it. He couldn’t just accept a TV show.  In the interim of Fr. Bob speaking with the Bishop, Fr. Bob went to shoot an episode of Paranormal State.  When he came back, he told  Paula & Deb asked him about his appointment to speak with the Bishop regarding Demon Hunter.  Paula said Fr. Bob told them he never intended to speak with the Bishop regarding Demon Hunter.  He was going to ask permission to go on sabbatical to study Demonology.  Deb said, that’s not what you told us and she repeated what he had said about speaking with the Bishop for permission to do the show.  He said told Deb that she had misunderstood him. She said, you told Paula the same thing.  He said, then both you and Paula misunderstood me. Yeah right! They BOTH misunderstood him.  Paula said that he told her, he couldn’t do a TV series. He has a parish to run.  Now remember, during all of this, he is shooting episodes with Paranormal State just about every 2-3 wks. at this point.

These women are now upset. A chance of a life time is given to them and he turns it down without discussing it with them.  Paula said that it wasn’t about the glamour of being on TV, it was about how it would have made them recognizable and with that, they could have conducted lectures and spread the word on how the evil is crossing into our realm and effecting us all.  She said, of course it would have been fun too.  Who wouldn’t want to have their own series but being on tv wasn’t the main objective.  Why shouldn’t they all get paid for doing what they loved instead of going to jobs that they hated just to pay bills. After all, Fr. Bob was being paid for Paranormal State by that time. Paula has an email where he states that he NEVER wanted the TV show. That SHE did because she wanted to quit her job.  She said, “You’re damn right I did. I was working for a doctor at that time that treated me like he owned me so yeah, I wanted to quit and get paid to do for what I loved instead of what I had to do to survive.”  I find that funny because Fr. Bob was the one on Paranormal State every time you turn around and now the rumor is he is going to be featured on Demon Hunters which is going to be produced by Ryan Buell, which brings up another point.  He and Ryan apparently had a difference of opinion sometime last summer I believe (Fr. Bob posted it on face book) and parted ways.  Now they have made up so he is now going to be doing Ryan’s show.   I also remember seeing a post that Fr. Bob had on his PWSM Network face book page that he was not going to be doing TV shows any more as they were not conducive to his ministry. Guess he changed his mind on that decision.  I even went looking for the blog and apparently he removed it.

I saw on Fr. Bob & PWSM Network face book page that Deb Carmone recently posted a comment stating how it has come to her attention that he and Ryan have reconciled yet he can't seem to find forgiveness for her and others he once called friend.  That post was removed.  I asked Deb if he ever responded via a personal email or face book message and she said no, but a derogatory remark that referred to a quote from Glinda in the Wizard of Oz was posted by him and she believes that is his response to her.

If you go to Taunton Paranormals website, they have a few things that are questionable.  A donation button is one.  They are not registered as a legal business so isn’t asking for donations illegal?  How would the donors know if it was allocated correctly and aren’t donors entitled to a receipt so how does this all work? No other group seems to be asking for donations and I’ve never seen a donation button on any of their web sites. 

Rob Jacobs is claiming to be the founder of the Taunton paranormal group.  According to Paula & Deb it was founded by Lou Toledo NOT Rob. Rob was co founder.  Rob also makes claims that cannot be substantiated. If you look at their website, he mentions something about their being a difference between inhuman spirits and demons.  How would they know?  According to Paula & Deb, demons mask their identity which is where the psychics come in.   They (Paula & Deb) would receive messages and sometimes names of demons that could be verified so without the psychics, how can Fr. Bob and/or TPG be able to discern if they are dealing with a disembodied human spirit, an evil human spirit or a demon? There are pics on the website of Rob Jacobs with a huge cross around his neck and holding one.  He presents like he is some sort of minister. Is he?  Let’s not forget what he did to those women on face book, yet he yields a cross!  Now there’s an irony. 

  

Fr. Bob’s conduct, from what I was told, is far from how a Catholic Priest should be conducting himself.   You have to wonder, if the rumor is true, while he is away playing ghost hunter, whose running his parish?

I followed all the drama that TPG & Fr. Bob caused with defaming those poor women.  Even if he did believe they were fakes which, according to Paula he had ample proof that they were genuine, he, as a priest, should not have added to their humiliation. 

I still check out the PWSM face book page more so to be nosey than anything else and I saw Deb’s post and once she told me it was not only deleted but completely ignored and then the obvious reference, (can’t be proven but still…)  I had to write.  Forgive me for saying this but his conduct is a disgrace to the Catholic faith.

So ends my first report. As is common here at least since I have been reading and following the work of Mr. Robinson, he will be attacked and ridiculed for allowing me to post this. If this does happen I guess I will be forced to dive back into this matter and take a close look into the relationship Fr. Bob has with PRS and how he accepted money to perform services a priest should do for free, and his role in the botched "The Possession: Return of Six" case.

Angel Books Optioned by Motion Picture Pro Studios

By Lisa Grace

"Angel in the Shadows, Book 1" and "Angel in the Storm, Book 2" have been optioned by Motion Picture Pro Studios.

The final contracts from Motion Picture Pros Studio just arrived. I'm taking them up to the bank to be notarized after I pick my daughter up from school.

The project is being fast-tracked, and now I'm putting together a plot point treatment (have no idea what they call it, I forgot). Since it's part of a series, they want to make sure characters that might be important in sequels are at least touched upon in this film.

The producer will be releasing a press release that announces the distribution deal on his current film (with a distributor everyone here has heard of) and then will mention mine is optioned and fast-tracked into pre-production with a screenwriter being hired immediately.

I know you guys have put up with me posting about the movie contract since September when I was first contacted, but now it's a done deal.   Books 1 & 2 are being combined into one film, and they have first right of refusal on the third.

I'm going to have Elaine P. English (entertainment lawyer) take bids on the paperbacks for the series.

Dreams do come true, and you can pinch me now.

NOTE: Everyone here at the Eye on the Paranormal sends a heartfelt CONGRATS to Lisa Grace for landing such a marvelous deal. We're sure this isn't the end of her journey, as even better and brighter things will be coming her way! We'll be first in line to buy the tickets on Day 1 of its release!

GHOST WHISPERINGS - Part II Who Or What Is Talking?

By Skarlet Rae

Here is the first part of the Ghost Whisperings series.

In my last segment I covered my (healthy, or so I think) skepticism towards audio documentations like evp's and such.  As explained there, science keeps growing, changing.  Many times, just in my short lifetime alone, things have altered.  Never mind that, but throughout our history many scientific discoveries changed our world and our outlooks and beliefs.  As they will continually change, evolve and have within it more and more information, altering our knowledge and beliefs.

Just as an example, it was believed in the 1970's, by the majority of the population, especially traditional doctors that vitamins and minerals had very little to do with very little.  Although in grade school we learned about scurvy and how vitamin C prevents it.  Still, doctors didn't think that illness can be helped with them.  Now, we have effervescent tablets and packets of powders which boost our immune systems with vitamin C, amongst other herbs and vitamins.  More information can and most assuredly will be discovered and added to the original, changing things, even at times, drastically.  I'm sure all science and technology will keep growing further than our limited, although seemingly tremendous, knowledge.  So why not the paranormal realm?

Because I like to give everything a fair chance, let us set the premise where we believe that the voices evidenced by equipment documentation is of paranormal origin/entity instead of a natural cause or natural phenomenon.  Let us even go further and say that we believe, in the most positive.  We believe that those voices are loved ones passed over.  Because after all, most people who pass over have family, friends and therefore they are loved ones that pass.  Rarely are they orphans, so we can safely presume that it is a passed over loved ones' disembodied spirit that is communicating with us, according to what many deduce.

With the miriad of evp's and voice documentations of disembodied voices, as are available to listen to, how come they are all just a few words?  They whisper and only say a few words.  Hmmmm.  That, to me, is very interesting.  Why do they whisper?  And why only a few words?  Why not converse in the same way as they did when alive, with us? What's with the whispering?

If they were humans at one time, they should have the social customs of humans.  We don't usually whisper.  Some whispering though, interestingly, ask for help.  Hmmmm.... really?  Help?  Then why are they not yelling?  Why isn't that evp or other evidence showing us distress in some form?  Surely a human who is in distress, calling out for another human to help will not be whispering, I can assure you.  Their yell for 'help' is usually just that.. a yell!  Ergo, the whispering doesn't make sense to me.  We humans whisper for only certain reasons.  Reasons of hiding, or sharing a secret.  We don't expect others to respond to us very well if we whisper.  So we usually don't, not in a normal conversation.  Then why do they?  IF they were a human, whose spirit is now there ... wandering, stuck, whatever ... why are they whispering?  Let's say they're hiding.  Well, they are obviously not trying to hide from us, since they are attempting to and communicating with us.  Then why whisper?

To take that line of thought further ... why are they not telling us more than just the same few words over and over?  Or, if and when they identify themselves, how do we know for sure it's the truth? We can do research and find that such and such a person lived there long ago.  But how do we know they are who they say they are?  It's like on the internet .... we don't really know who is communicating with us.  They can tell us anything.  They can tell us they are anyone.  How are we to know that they're for real?  There is no 'people finder' in the paranormal realm to check out validity.

Many paranormal experts, metaphysicians, parapsychologists say that they are lost spirits who haven't found the light.  That some people that pass away are sometimes confused (for whatever reason).  That they can't move on.  That they remain stuck in the location where they passed.  That it is with our help that they will be able to move on.  Then why don't they explain?  Even to a slight degree that they are stuck?  That they don't know where they are.  Why are they just saying 'help me'?  By the time they've said 'help me' several times, they could have given us more information about their state.  Yet they don't.  Why not?

Have you ever received a message as follows:  You come home from work and your spouse tells you that your mother called and left you a message with your spouse.  That it was a message of 3 words that were being whispered so low that the words could not be made out.  Yet they were repeated several times.  Have you ever actually experienced that?  Of course not!  Those who are close to us, friends, family don't whisper at us when they are trying to convey a message.  Never mind if they're seeking help.  But think of this possibility ... if someone wanted to fool you ... to make you think that they are who they would like you to believe they are, then they might whisper.  Because through a whisper you couldn't tell exactly who they are.

Now that was an interesting possibility in my mind.  Think about that for a moment.  The more unintelligable the words are, the more you can 'imagine' that it's someone you'd like it to be, saying what you'd like to hear.

As I see it, most of the evidence that is collected is NOT a plethera of loving messages.  They are, actually pretty negative and nasty.  I've never heard a voice that was documented on an evp or by other means, say "Hi".  They never say, "I miss Joe" (or whoever's name).  One never hears them say "Where is Joe" as if they were looking for someone.  Why is it that we can hear these voices say "Get out" or "Die" or "I know where you live", but they never say "Say hi to Joe for me" or "Send my love to Joe".  I know if I, personally was a ghost, missed my friends and family and had an opportunity to communicate I wouldn't whisper 'die'.  I'd yell as loud as I can and send a loving message.  Wouldn't you?  I'm sure you would.

Therefore I, personally, do not believe that it's our passed over loved ones whose voices are being taken as evidence by paranormal investigators and ghost hunters.  I'm sure if it was my father (may he rest in peace) who was trying to communicate with me, either directly or through another person, I'm SURE he wouldn't send me a message to 'get out' or 'die'.  Would yours?  I seriously doubt it.  Then WHY are we so eager to believe that those voices that we capture through modern investigations are innocent, poor souls, in need of our help?  Or passed on loved ones needing direction to the light?  I'm not saying that there might not be those that do need help in moving on, or something else, but I am of the opinion that most of them are not!

Imagine, having an actual conversation with someone who has passed over.  They could tell us so much.  They could tell us what it's like when the spirit and soul leaves the body.  What one experiences during that process.  Most of us humans are interested in knowing such things.  Yet not one of them has given us any inclination or indication as to what that's all about.  Why?  Have you ever pondered that question?

Stay tuned for more information and thoughs in the next segment of  Ghost Whisperings - Part III - What Are They Saying?

Ten Reasons Vampires Shouldn’t Sparkle

By Kelly Fisher

These are in no particular order and may contain spoilers. These are only my personal opinions.

1. They are creatures of the night.

They lurk in the shadows. They don’t want to be center of attention. They want to fade into the background, to be overlooked, to catch you off your guard. Even if they have evolved over the years and may be able to withstand sunlight they still wish to maintain a low profile and sparkling in the sunlight would certainly make that tough.

2. They are hardcore.

When’s the last time you saw someone that was bathed in glitter and said to yourself, “Wow I bet that person can kick my a$$?” Yeah, I didn’t think so. Nothing that sparkles is scary. When I think of glitter I think of Kesha or unicorns, neither of which is scary. Ok Kesha is a little.


3. They are seductive.

They want to lure you in. They are sexy and suave. They look in your eyes and you are instantly ready to give them whatever they ask of you. Sparkling would take away from this because it would blind you, awakening from your trance. Let’s face it a sparkling vampire would get no play.


4. They are evil.

When I see something sparkle I certainly think it’s evil, don’t you? No? That is because evil is dark and when something sparkles it needs light to do so, as in a diamond sparkles in the candlelight. Why don’t those vampires sparkle in the candlelight anyway? They only sparkle in the sunlight but not in any artificial light? That makes no sense.


5. They are warriors.

Vampires fight. They fight each other; they fight with werewolves, hell they fight to survive. If someone sparkling came up to you looking for a fight would you not laugh in there face and then proceed to knock them out? I know I would.

6. They are predators

They want to eat you. They crave the blood running through your veins. Most predators sneak up on their prey not bust out bedazzled thinking that will work. It would only scare off its prey. A shiny vampire is a hungry vampire.

7. They are mature.

Most vampires have been around for centuries therefore they are way past going to raves and throwing glitter bombs. They may have the looks of a teenager but after seeing many lifetimes they wouldn’t have the maturity level of a teenager.

8. They are emotional, not emo.

Yeah I know emo essentially means emotionally but a vampire shouldn’t have teenage angst. They could have angst about several other issues but I think it’s safe to assume that most of them hit puberty a long time ago. So while they may wear their emotions on their sleeves (and isn’t that way we find some of them so endearing?) they also know how to control their emotions.

9. They are killers.

They have no feelings of guilt if they drain you dry and leave your empty shell to rot. Something that sparkles does not evoke a sense of danger to me, but real vampires are deadly. They don’t care about you.

10. They are freaking vampires! Come on!

We keep growing and keep exposing all the fakers you can run but never can you hide from the truth

PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED reveals shocking behind the scenes evidence of deceptions and outright fakery of paranormal activity

PARANORMAL STATE ran on the A&E network from December 2007 through May 2011. This documentary program was comprised of a team of Penn State University students who wanted to help those troubled by unexplained phenomena. The Paranormal State/Paranormal Research Society's motto was, "To trust, honor, and always seek the truth." The show starred founder and director Ryan Buell along with his group of technicians, investigators and occult specialists. He was often assisted by such paranormal celebrities as Chip Coffey, Lorraine Warren, Chad Calek, and Michelle Belanger. The team supposedly helped frightened clients and collected evidence of the unexplained.

PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED is co-authored by the most controversial figure in the paranormal field, Kirby Robinson. Along with co-author, Lisa Maliga, they explore the rumors of staged scenes, questionable evidence, misleading editing, and duped clients. As other paranormal programming comes along imitating this style of presentation, it's vital that the problems are investigated. With a step-by-step analysis of every episode, the authors present the facts. They give voice to those present on the set ranging from production staff, former clients, and various para-celebrities. Casual viewers and diehard fans of the program are taken beyond the thermal cameras, EVPs, atmospheric music, and sound effects. PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED uncovers secrets about what went on behind the scenes, and it answers questions about the show's validity. In almost every single episode the reader may find one or more of the following: staged scenes, planted or falsified evidence, fake exorcisms, and crew members masquerading as experts. We learn of clients who were ridiculed, and those who were promised help but were left with more problems. The authors also analyze Ryan Buell's book, PARANORMAL STATE: MY JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN.

PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED includes:

* Shocking new evidence.

* All episodes from seasons 1 through 5 and PARANORMAL STATE: THE NEW CLASS.

* Para-celebrity/former client Shannon Sylvia reveals PRS's deceptions.

* Production staff members share trade secrets.

* Featured para-celebrities and their questionable actions.

* Authors respond to the detractors.

* Two different break-downs of an episode that exposes the tricks.

* A new and revelatory ending!

Authors Kirby Robinson and Lisa Maliga spent countless hours viewing footage and listening to audio tracks. They interviewed former clients, production team members, PRS crew members, and various para-celebrities. The reader journeys behind the scenes of what might be the most problematic paranormal reality show to air on cable TV.

PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED will keep the reader up past Dead Time – not in a state of fear -- but discovering the veils of secrecy and deception being lifted and the truth exposed.

PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED is available on Kindle, Smashwords and B&N Nook.
