My #1 rule is that GOD is the boss of all things. He leads, I follow. God knows more than I ever will. He has more insight then I can ever hope for. His love and compassion flows more deeply than mine ever will. That being said, for the past several months I've been exposing the fakes, frauds, tricksters and deceivers associated with Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. But it's time to let go of this for now. Beginning next week I'll begin a new series entitled DELIVERANCE FROM DEMONS: NOT THE END -- ONLY THE BEGINNING. I'm being led by God to do this. I'm seeing that way too much attention is being paid to the deliverance/exorcism, and the aftercare is being ignored. Aftercare is what takes place with that family after you close the door. This harsh truth isn't as glorious and dramatic as what we see in the movies and on TV, but aftercare is essential. Because it's not over, the path to healing is just beginning.
RADIO SHOW INTERVIEW
Saturday, January 28th at 7 PM EST
Will be interviewed by Dr. Michael Frisbee at 'The Paranormal Christian' radio show

NEW BOOK COMING OUT JANUARY 30, 2012
Paranormal State Exposed will be available in eBook format on Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook and at Smashwords.
'PARANORMAL STATE' SEX SCANDAL!
We've known about this story for quite some time. Our source who fed us the information concerning Season 5 gave us the heads up about it last year. Apparently, this information was being whispered about during filming but we guess when your eyes are on the green you don't see anything else.
We won't go into detail about it here and we only mention it briefly in our forthcoming book, Paranormal State Exposed. We say GOOD JOB to Ryan for breaking ties with Father Jim, Lorraine Warren, Tony Spera and the New England Society for Psychic Research [N.E.S.P.R.].
Does it go far enough? Sadly, it doesn't. On the surface it shows that Ryan Buell and PRS appear to be doing the right thing. But let's delve a little deeper.
1 Unless you visit the PRS forum and see the thread you'd have no idea this took place. You could watch the episodes of season 5 and think everything is cool and Father Jim is totally legit. So why is this sex scandal such a huge problem? Because you must have spiritual authority to remove negative spirits/demons. The only person that had that was Father Jim. But you can't be a priest in name only. If you're in a state of sin you don't have any spiritual authority. Will they be removing those three episodes? Will they inform the viewers of the problem? Will they return to the clients' homes and clean up the mess left behind by Father Jim?
2 When we exposed the misdeeds of the team and the para-celebrities featured in season 2's episode, "The Messenger", their defense to many of the deceptions was “we talked about them and that makes it okay." Actually, it doesn't. Why hasn't PRS gone more public with this scandal by contacting the church, other paranormal groups, etc .?
3 What about Lorraine, Tony and N.E.S.P.R.? They have been featured on numerous episodes – many of them awash in deception. If they would help cover up such things, is it a leap to think they would be deceptive about other things? So we have to ask if PRS will remove their episodes?
Here is the link to the thread http://forums.pennstateprs.com/index.php?/topic/29968-concerning-posts-by-father-jim/
If PRS removes this thread we'll publish it as we have screen shots of everything and will be monitoring their site.
DISCLAIMER
It seems as though some of our special contributors have upset our reading audience. We've been contacted about why do you have this or that person post on this blog? By allowing these people to post blogs, you're endorsing them and their services.
When we started the Eye on the Paranormal we tried posting more than one blog per week. But we just didn't have the time, and there are so many topics we would never have the time to write about. So we decided to ask for anyone that wanted to blog about the paranormal to contact us. We didn't ask for any I.D. or background checks, etc. We wanted people to post about whatever type of paranormal subject they felt like. Turns out that you open yourself up to attack by our detractors and the fake para-celebs we expose.
We have a wide range of people posting here but I guess I have to say this: we don't endorse the services of anyone who posts here. If you want recommendations contact me directly.
As to allegations towards one of our posters, I will deal with that in the near future.
By the way, if you write about the paranormal, are reliable, and want to join this rag tag army, we have 3 openings. So contact us at: freeallspirits@live.com

Where Paranormal Investigators and Ghost Hunters Tred - Part II
By Skarlet Rae
Continued from: Where Paranormal Investigators and Ghost Hunters Tred - Part I
Continued from: Where Paranormal Investigators and Ghost Hunters Tred - Part I
This is the continuing segment to my last post, where I started discussing questions that have been circling my mind. Questions like, 'What is the intent of paranormal investigators and ghost hunters?', 'What do paranormal investigators and ghost hunters ultimately accomplish?', and 'How do paranormal investigators and ghost hunters help?'.
In the previous segment I covered what, in my opinion the intent of most paranormal investigators and ghost hunters are. In this segment I will continue and talk about what paranormal investigators and ghost hunters accomplish and how they help.
Establishing that paranormal investigators and ghost hunters gather evidence to document and prove the existence of the paranormal, I now need to explore where it leads. As in any scieintific field, after evidence is gathered and proof is presented that something 'exists', then what? As in finding molecules and atoms, or as in finding anything that wasn't 'proved' previously. Once scientists discover and prove the existence of those things, then what? What did they do with it? In the same way, what are the paranormal investigators and ghost hunters doing with the information they gather?
It must be a great relief to those, who have been experiencing paranormal activity, to have someone come in and give them concrete proof that what they were experiencing wasn't a figment of their imagination. It'll confirm to them that others too are hearing, seeing and feeling what they've been. To many, it confirms to them their sanity. Ok, great. But then what?
How do they or we know exactly what it is that they've gathered proof of? What is it that they caught on evp's, on videos, on their cameras? Those who think they have discerened correctly what they have documented, how do they really know? Even if they do know. "Then what?". "What exactly does it achieve?" All that time and effort, what was it for? Just to prove that there IS something there?
At this juncture we could easily stop and say, "Well, we don't know exactly what it is, so let's just forget about it". Yet those who are experiencing activity, especially activity that is unsettling, disturbing and to some frightening, most of the time, want to know what it is and how are they to deal with it.
Today, there are many shows on television dealing with the same genre, namely paranormal investigators, paranormal investigative groups, ghost hunter's stories and the such. They all run along similar lines. A specific place has paranormal activity. The team goes in, gets evidence, present their evidence at the 'reveal', and the show is over.
Just out of curiosity, I've mentally put myself in the position of the 'client'. The person who initiated the investigation by calling in the paranormal investigative team. Let's say I'm the caretaker for a historic building and many day that I work there I experience 'things'. So I call in a paranormal investigative group. The team has completed the investigation and they have collected all the evidence. They have done the 'reveal'. They have shown me that what I've been seeing and hearing is actually there, and not my imagination. I've received proof that something is there when I feel my hair being lifted, when my shoulders get touched. I understand better when papers fly off my desk by themselves without a window being open and the hvac system being off. So I wasn't crazy when I discovered drawers opened, when I know I shut them. Then it wasn't a dream when I couldn't open the door, it being seemingly locked, only to find it wide open ten minutes later. Ok. I'm grateful to have validation of what I've been experiencing. But then what?
Can they help me somehow? Can they help when the activity is present, and fear hits the pit of my stomach like a boulder, making me feel like I just want to run? What exaclty can they do? What ultimately do they accomplish? I've heard many, many stories where a homeowner, having paranormal activity calls in a paranormal investigative team. After all is said and done and the team leaves, the activity increases. Increases? Yikes! To me, personally, that would be quite unsettling if not scary.

After all is said and done and the team leaves, the activity increases. Increases? Yikes! To me, personally, that would be quite unsettling if not scary.
As exhilirating as it might be, to investigate and gather evidence using modern technological equipment. My question still stands..."What do they accomplish?" and "How do they help"?
I've read the mission statements from many paranormal investigative goups and teams - those who have one. Most of them seem similar. Their goal is to investigate and document paranormal activity. They want to scientifically prove the parnormal. Some also add that they wish to assist those with paranormal problems. Therefore, my question remains. How do they do that? What exactly are they qualified to do to 'help'? There were those that state they use their gifts combined with scienitific equipment to collect scientific data. That's great, but how does that help? If I was someone in need of help in the paranormal, I would be expecting to know what help they offer. Is it scientific? Is it from their 'gifts'? What exactly are they going to do?
When I go to a doctor (another scientific and gifted helper), I'm usually told what test is going to be done. It's not shrouded in mystery. I know what a tongue depresser does, or an x-ray machine. I know that when I get an injection what it's for, what that needle contains. I am told by the medical professional what was found through the testing and what options there are to 'help' the situation that was found. So again, what exactly do they do to help?

You might think to yourself, what about those who have the most altruistic intents? Well, from my point of view, even those who have the best intent, how are they able to help? Where is the handbook that tells them (or us) how to deal with all the different types of entitied that are documented at an investigation? Many use aids from the metaphysical and parapsychological communities. Things like burning sage and other herbs. Walking through the property saying positive affirmations while carrying the burning herb. Sounds mystical, doesn't it? I would have thought so too, if I didn't clearly know that many times, it does little, sometimes nothing, and at worst, those types of positive affirmations and sage burnings only seems to increase the paranormal activity that was bothersome to begin with. Sometimes it only temporarily puts things at bay, for things to only return stronger later. Again, Yikes! For those who are enjoying the paranormal activity, naturally this doesn't apply. They are happily living with the activity, even deriving pleasure from it. I'm referring to those individuals who are bothered, unsettled and even frightened by paranormal occurances.
Now don't get me wrong, I do understand that encompassing the paranormal in a fully scientific way is in it's very early stages, if it's at all possible to encompass this field in a fully scientific way. That, from a scientific standpoint it's a new horizon of discovery. We need to remember though that ghosts and what goes bump in the night have been around as long as man has. It is not a new phenomena. It's just being approached in a new scienitific way.
All that is great. I applaud all who go forth to conquer new frontiers. Yet I have a great apprehension in the pit of my stomach. As described above, where activity can increase after an investigation, it is a pretty tentative proposition, in my opinion, to jump right into something that one knows nothing or very little about. Especially when there are real dangers that could be encountered.

Earling Possession – Anna Ecklund – Last Sanctioned Exorcism – Begone Satan
by Martha Hazzard-Decker
Earling Possession – Anna Ecklund – Last Sanctioned Exorcism – Begone Satan. This is possibly one of the most publicized possessions during the twentieth century. It was written about in Begone Satan by German author Reverend Carl Vogl There is a plethora of information one can find on the Internet about this event. Rosemary Ellen Guiley wrote about the case in the book, "The Encyclopedia of Demons & Demonology." She states the Earling Possession occurred in 1928 with the possession of Anna Ecklund that multiple entities were within one victim. The exorcisms in Earling, Iowa totaled 23 days and included three sessions. It's a fascinating account of an event that is not a fairytale and one that would be good to cover for new paranormal investigators. While it's extremely rare, this does occur and is serious and should not be taken lightly.
Ecklund was born in the Midwest section of the U.S. in 1882. She was raised as a Catholic and was devout in her faith. According to Guiley's book, Ecklund started showing symptoms of possession such as a revulsion to to holy objects, the inability to enter church and disturbing thoughts about sexual acts and becoming totally possessed by at 14 years of age in 1908. She traveled and went to visit her Aunt Mina, who was a reputed witch, according to Reverend Carl Vogl and mentioned in his book, "BeGone Satan!" The books states her aunt caused her possession by placing spells on herbs used in her food. The book states that Father Theophilus Riesinger, a Capuchin monk from St Anthony in Marathon Wisconsin completed a successful exorcism on Ecklund in 1912 but she became possessed again after her father heaped curses on her, wishing her to be possessed. Father Theophilus Riesinger once again tried to exorcize Ecklund in 1928.
This is a quote from the forward of the book,
"Letter from a doctor
Dr. John Dundon, Physician and Surgeon
1228 E. Brady St., Milwaukee, Wis
Rev. Celestine Kapsner, O.S.B.
St. John's Abbey
Collegeville, Minn.
Dear Father Kapsner:
We wish to endorse your pamphlet "Vade Satana"; as a potent aid to faith in the value of sacramentals, relics of the saints, and prayer. No more vivid picture has been presented to us of the losing battle against the "camp of Christ." Nothing has made our insistent floundering from the "camp of Christ" to the "camp of the devil" appear so absurd. The memory it has instilled of the hatred of Satan and the eternal misery of his permanent army, evokes a continuous inventory of one's life, savoring of the minuteness of the final judgment. That it will save many souls we have no doubt. That some will borrow fruitless fright is also possible, but for them one must say that if the picture is terrible the real thing must be worse. Agony is the lot of all at least once.
Satan has seemed too unreal. It would be a pity if this pamphlet were to be suppressed because some weak souls have been made to sense him more vividly than the author intends. We were granted an interview with the exorcist, Father Theophilus, after reading your account of the diabolical possession. We treasure the experience as an intimate glimpse into the life of a pious priest very gifted in a specialty which should command the patronage of the medical profession, rather than to be allotted to the realm of superstition or necromancy. We anxiously await his complete report of the Earling
Yours very truly,
J. D. Dundon, M.D."
Father Gary Thomas from California, who the movie, "The Rite" was about speaks to a local news station about real life exorcisms. This can give you some current information about priests of today and that they do perform exorcisms on real people.
Guiley continues in her book that "The ancient ritual began in earnest the next morning. Father Theophilus had several of the strongest nuns hold Anna on a mattress laid upon an iron bed, and her clothes were bound tightly around her to prevent her from stripping herself. With Father Theophilus' first exhortations Anna's mouth clamped shut and she fell unconscious, followed almost immediately by an extraordinary fear of levitation. Rising swiftly from the bed, she hung onto the wall above the door like a cat, and it took great effort to pull her down." Father Theophilus had hoped to keep the exorcism a secret but the noises coming from a convent of Franciscan sisters in Earling told a tale that brought out many citizens. Father Steiger had agreed to help by opening his parish for the exorcism. During the exorcisms, Ecklund vomited and spit, her face distorted and head swelled, eyes bulged and her stomach grew so large and she became so heavy that the iron bed nearly broke. During this time she only swallowed small amounts of water and milk, eating no food. She was near death at times. She understood language she did not know, reacted to holy objects and was able to expose secret sins of those present. Father Steiger was harassed for allowing this to happen in his parish and was later involved in an auto accident that the devils predicted during the exorcism.
Ecklund was possessed by many other lesser devils and spirits. However, her principal tormentors were Beelzebub, according to Guiley's book. Beelzebub eventually acknowledged that the curses of Ecklund's father, Jacob, began her possession when she was 14 years old. While many things occurred during the long days and nights of the exorcisms, Father Theophilus prevailed and then on the morning of Dec. 23, 1928 the possession was over and Ecklund was no longer possessed.
Other accounts report the individual's name as being Emma Schmidt. According to some of these reports there is an acknowledgement of the exorcism in Earling Iowa found in Papal records and that it did occur at the location reported.
A supplement at the end of "Begone Satan" is the testimony of a witness present during most of the exorcism and it is,
"Testimony of Theresa Wegerer, Father Steiger's housekeeper
"I was a witness to almost the whole period of the exorcism of the Earling possession case and I can truthfully say, that the facts mentioned in Begone Satan are correct. Some of the scenes were even more frightful than described in the booklet. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind, that the devils were present and I will never forget the horrible scenes, vile, filthy, and dirty, as long as I live. All the nuns asked for a change and were transferred the next year.
"The woman came back to Earling over a distance of a thousand miles four months after the exorcism to make a novena of Thanksgiving. This was at the bidding of Christ Himself. During her stay she boarded with the Schimorowsky family. She told me how our Blessed Lord appears to her frequently and encourages her to be faithful."
This seemed a fitting article with the recent release of the movie "The Devil Inside." There is much more that could be written about this even or researched. Those interested might find a few nights on Google in the near future. Another interesting article for paranormal investigators and researchers would be Where Paranormal Investigators and Ghost Hunters Tred Part 1.

The Paranormal Christian - Apologies To The Readers
By Pastor Michael Frisbee, DD/DM
My apologies to the readers of this blog and to Kirby. This week I was overwhelmed with my expanded job duties, a number of cases I am consulting on, and starting my new college path - so I was unable to prepare a blog article this week. My intent was to post a brief regarding the Pleiadian conspiracy, and the demonic who are using this façade to deceive believers of the Pleiadians to undercut the Truth God presents in His Word.
This was to lead up to our show tomorrow evening on which we will be featuring Dr. Fred DeRuvo, author of Demons in Disguise and Nephilim Nightmare, books that expose the truth behind the Pleiadian Deception. I hope you will join us at http://www.TheParanormalChristian.com and listen in at 7 PM EST on Saturday, January 14th.
However for this week, I will have to simply apologize to you and seek your forgiveness. I will pick things up next week, when I will do a piece on Freemasonry, another cult practice hiding behind good works and the semblance of Christian beliefs. When you dig deeper, and higher, you find the true “God” behind their organization and “religion”. Many would question how this relates to the “paranormal”. It’s simple – the truth behind Freemasonry is that of a demonic doctrine, contrived by a demonic host, and thus supernatural in origin. Supernatural and paranormal walk hand in hand.
I’m sure there will be many calling for my head and claiming blasphemy, I ask you to keep an open mind and read through my article next week, and I will point you to a number of resources to follow up your research and understanding of what I have presented you.
Until then, God bless each and every one of you, enjoy your weekend, and we will see you on the show tomorrow. http://www.theparanormalchristian.com

Stop That Brain! It's Getting Away!
By Reap Paden
I've always been fascinated by my brain, well not just my brain, but any human brain. Its aware of itself and it's in charge of running a machine called the human body yet it has no control of it at the same time. At this point and time it can't even answer questions about itself. Shouldn't your brain know you have a tumor growing and perform the proper bodily function to get rid of it? Shouldn't it be smart enough to quit smoking without resorting to cigarette flavored gum? Wouldn't you think the brain would rule the roost, rule with an iron fist, do everything it could to make sure it survived as long as possible? Well it doesn't work that way and that's one reason why you cant trust it. It's 1.5 kg of lying, incompetent mush but it's all you've got.....
There is a great book called A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness by author Vilayanur S. Ramachandran. You can pick it up for around 7 bucks on amazon. I recommend it highly. After reading it you may find yourself wondering if maybe the paranormal is mistakes and data processed incorrectly by someones brain. People get all uptight whenever I say this but I feel it is true- religious belief and belief in the paranormal are very similar. Not in what people believe so much as in the way they go about believing it. We want life to be magical in some way, we want those incredible dreams we have while sleeping to have some possibility of coming true. We want to feel like the time we spend scared and alone in this life will lead to something better, a reward for all the terrible thing we put up with while on earth, Whether that reward is heaven or just turning into a glowing sphere, free to travel the universe. As long as there is something more after, then this life can be endured.
I have bad news for you, and this isn't to be negative but have you gave thought to all the things we used to think were caused by magic or were paranormal but have now been explained with science? Have you noticed EVERY SINGLE ONE has turned out not to be paranormal. Everything we know, can repeat, and test is caused by nature, natural causes. If you think about it what are the chances that suddenly we are going to jump from science to magic and if we did what kind of screwy impossible universe would we have?
You know why psychics aren't real? Because that would mean the rules of nature apply to them differently. You know why people who claim they see ghosts are either mistaken, crazy, or plain outright liars. Same reason. Would you expect a balloon filled with helium to float when some people held it but not others because they had unique genes?
That's not going to happen either because there are laws. We don't know all the laws yet but we are working on that through science, not magic. People who claim to have psychic powers have been proven incorrect over and over throughout history. Do you know why people like Chip Coffey won't take any controlled test to prove he has special abilities? Because he knows he won't pass those tests. Do you really think that every single person who says they don't believe in psychics is saying that only because they are jealous? When people like Chip and others claim envy is what created the people who dislike or criticize them I laugh out loud. You really must have some ego to know anyone who disagrees with you is by default incorrect. It must take some serious self love to consider yourself above anyone and everyone who doesn't condone your every act.
Did you know that certain vibrations can cause the fluid in your eye to vibrate too? This can cause you to see forms around you, they are not ghosts. Did you know that sometimes your brain will cause you to hallucinate just once. You may never have it happen to you again. It can happen when you are in perfect health without any obvious cause. Could that one experience also be the one time you 'saw something' you couldn't explain?
If you are involved in the paranormal do yourself and everyone else a favor, read some books about the brain and what we know it is capable of doing. The progress we have made in understanding the brain and how it processes and sometimes incorrectly processes information have made it all but impossible to prove beyond a doubt that anyone has, will, can, or will ever be able to see ghosts.
Can we say this is an absolute? No we can not, but we also can not put whatever we wish was true in the place of missing information and call it good. You can't do it with god when science says it doesn't know and you cant do it with ghosts when that noise seemed too strange too be caused by wild animals. Imagination is a grand thing when applied in moderation, just use your brain.

People who claim to have psychic powers have been proven incorrect over and over throughout history. Do you know why people like Chip Coffey won't take any controlled test to prove he has special abilities? Because he knows he won't pass those tests. Do you really think that every single person who says they don't believe in psychics is saying that only because they are jealous? When people like Chip and others claim envy is what created the people who dislike or criticize them I laugh out loud. You really must have some ego to know anyone who disagrees with you is by default incorrect. It must take some serious self love to consider yourself above anyone and everyone who doesn't condone your every act.
Did you know that certain vibrations can cause the fluid in your eye to vibrate too? This can cause you to see forms around you, they are not ghosts. Did you know that sometimes your brain will cause you to hallucinate just once. You may never have it happen to you again. It can happen when you are in perfect health without any obvious cause. Could that one experience also be the one time you 'saw something' you couldn't explain?
If you are involved in the paranormal do yourself and everyone else a favor, read some books about the brain and what we know it is capable of doing. The progress we have made in understanding the brain and how it processes and sometimes incorrectly processes information have made it all but impossible to prove beyond a doubt that anyone has, will, can, or will ever be able to see ghosts.
Can we say this is an absolute? No we can not, but we also can not put whatever we wish was true in the place of missing information and call it good. You can't do it with god when science says it doesn't know and you cant do it with ghosts when that noise seemed too strange too be caused by wild animals. Imagination is a grand thing when applied in moderation, just use your brain.

Issue 56 – "PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED" COMING SOON!
By Kirby Robinson
The book that no one knew we were working on will be out later this month.
We had planned to update PARANORMAL REALITY: INVESTIGATING PARANORMAL STATE for quite some time. However, it seemed that other projects and cases kept popping up whenever we started to work on it. Back in November we were contacted by someone who was on-set for the production of season 5 and offered us lots of details about the deceptions that took place. We interviewed this person many times for hours and their story never changed. In PARANORMAL STATE EXPOSED we also include analysis of the short-lived show PARANORMAL STATE: THE NEW CLASS. We find that just as in the original, things aren't what they appear.
We include new updates on some of the earlier episodes, respond to the critics, showing faults in their arguments, disclose the name of one of our on-set sources, [with their permission], and much more.
Why did we change the title? Why not just do a second edition? When we worked on the first book it came down to these two titles. We flipped a coin and said the losing title would be used if we ever did another book on this subject.
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT PARA-REALITY COULDN'T GET WORSE …
