On June 8, 2012, I had the delight of joining 93-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch, who was recently named "Oldest Yoga Teacher" by Guinness World Records, as she taught yoga at the Pentagon.
It was incredible seeing 80 Department of Defense personnel -- service members and civilians -- in various yoga poses, from warriors to king dancers, and then flowing through a series of sun salutations to Tao's signature tango music. At one point, I said to myself, "This is pretty cool. I'm doing yoga at the Pentagon!" The final relaxation was especially poignant. I got a deep sense that these folks particularly needed and deserved those moments of personal peace.
At the end of the yoga session, I moderated a discussion on Tao's colorful life, as I've done many times before. There was great interest in Tao's time with Gandhi and her work in the French Resistance during World War II, as well as her peacemaking around the world, such as Yoga for Peace in Israel in 1995 and her more recent appearance at the 2011 Newark Peace Education Summit with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.
During the Q and A, one woman asked why Tao agreed to teach yoga to a group of people who are focused on war and conflict. In her very humble manner, Tao explained that she was simply honored to be there among those who work tirelessly to protect our security. She explained how yoga plays a role in peacemaking, which is the ultimate goal for those in our military. In her view, peace is really about atonement. She broke down the word atonement into "at-one-ment," or oneness. Tao's perspective is that we all have the same breath inside us and yoga brings us closer to that realization.
For me, the day epitomized the essence of yoga in that it was about unity. All of the people in the group had very important "day jobs." Many had to be given permission to take time to be in the class. Yet, they came together, in great numbers, to share in the presence and practice of peace. If all of our leaders -- anyone making critical decisions affecting other people's lives -- would take time every day to experience even a few moments of stillness, I believe our world would be a better place. As the Dalai Lama has said, "World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not the absence of violence. Peace is the manifestation of human compassion."

Paranormal State Keeps Milking the "I Am Six" Case Till It's Dry
We're back with part 2 of our report on the fakery and deceptions by PRS and the fake para-celebs who tagged along hoping to fatten their wallets, gain better name recognition within the paranormal entertainment industry, and spread more lies about demons and exorcisms.
But I'm scratching my head about a few things lately.
Someone sent me this link:
We understand Amy Bruni is with child so she needs money for diapers, formula, baby things and maybe some smokes and a beer or two. But – what has she done?
1 Starred in a hit film - NO
2 Won the Indy 500 - NO
3 Cured cancer and/or AIDS - NO
4 Starred in a fake paranormal reality show and buddied up to members of the paranormal entertainment industry? YES!
In other words, her only claim to fame is this:
Silence is at times deafening and condemning … and sometimes it's outright shocking.
A few weeks ago, we exposed convicted child molester Robert Hunnicutt and his work with many of the leaders of the paranormal entertainment industry.
Here are a few: Keith Age, Andrew Calder, Patrick Burns, Patti Starr, Chip Coffey, Reese Christian and Sharon Johns.
To date, we've not heard word one from any of these people. We have to ask why is that? And what does that say about them?
One more thing that made me scratch my head the other day as I was looking at traffic sources for visitors to the EYE ON THE PARANORMAL. One of the more popular Google search terms for the blog is "Chip Coffey Fake" but this one was even more interesting: "Chip Coffey Butt Flap."
Not sure what the phrase really means.
- In the days of old, long johns had an opening that could accessed when the person needed to go that didn't require them to remove the clothing.
- It can mean to be very funny.
- That it means someone talking out of their backside and their butt flaps.
- A cut of steak.
- A cloth pinned to the pants of a punk rocker.
- One of our reporters states that it means someone talking out of their backside and their butt flaps
Whatever it means it did stop and make me grin as I scratched my head.
Now it's time for part two of the I Am Six case...
Episode 47 "The Possession: Return of Six"
Like every other show in the reality programming field you gotta give the viewers something big to get those ratings. PRS/Paranormal State and a whole slate of para-celebs are about to give it to them in this hour-long episode.
In season 2 there was the controversial episode, “I Am Six” that involves a young woman acting as if she is possessed by a demon named Six. You might want to watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose and see how much of this case was stolen from this film. Keep in mind, the film is very loosely based on a real case. Much had been changed, including the location, which originally was in Germany.
In this episode, Ryan brings in Lorraine Warren and the latest go-to practitioner of exorcisms, Father Bob Bailey. It seems as if Andrew Calder hopefully got a sign from God that you get one, maybe two, passes on doing possibly fake exorcisms and then you're out of luck.
Voiceover by Ryan added later during post productions when he tells the team to be prepared.
When Ryan enters the master bedroom there is a dog on the bed. That's no big deal but it is if the same dog was being held as the home owner is showing the team the house. Looks like the scene was shot out of order.
The client is in the basement wearing a tan sweater, and then they are in the kitchen and she's wearing an olive green jacket.
When Chip arrives Ryan is suddenly in a different outfit and Chad has popped up out of nowhere. Notice how Chad and Chip are hanging out and Chad appears to have difficulty keeping a smile off his face as he asks Chip: "You feeling something?"
During Dead Time, Ryan's hoodie suddenly appears on him and the shot of him and Chad in the bedroom does not match one cut Chad is on one side of the bed with Ryan. In the next they stand on different sides of the bed.
During the evidence review session there are four noted errors. 1. Ryan has no hoodie on then suddenly there it is. 2. There is an unidentified person in the room. 3. When Chip is asked a question by Ryan it is added in post production and Chip is not even in the same room. The shots and lighting don't match. The couch that Chip is sitting on is not even in the same room they are in. 4. The review is supposed to be at night but it is clearly daytime.
If Ryan had driven up to the home he would had seen the river due to its close proximity. Why does he have to ask where the river is?
When Ryan is speaking to the nameless male "Occult Expert" on the phone, notice the cuts don't match and that Ryan looks as though he's pretending to take notes. Why not talk to fellow team member Eilfie—that's her title. Or Michelle Belanger? Or Lorraine Warren? Also, the information he receives from the mysterious Occult Expert is nothing more than discussing Book of Leviticus in the Bible. Finally, why are mental health issues attributed to the demonic?
When Ryan goes to the site of the suicide we learn that he gave out false information in the case briefing. Donna didn't throw herself off of a cliff but she walked out into the water. He's wearing Day 1 clothing and this is well into Day 2.
It is very difficult to see who is doing director's log as the hood of the jacket is pulled up over the person's head and their back is kept to the camera through the entire shot. The team sets up for the experiment from 7:42 to 8:50 PM. During this time, Ryan changes his shirts back to the one he wore on Day 1.
The Moundsville comment was plain silly compared to what Ryan says next. It is actually quite sad and ego-driven. Ryan states that this case came about to bring them close to Quincy, Illinois so they could respond to Lara's needs.
Let's examine his statement in more depth.
1. It's been at least six months since the team had visited Lara. From postings on Paranormal State's board, things didn't improve for Lara. At the end of "I Am Six" the audience is led to believe that her problems were solved. Why had the team not returned to Lara's home to help the family? Why had Ryan not used his influence with the Catholic Church to have a real exorcist come to the home and perform a full rite? If Ryan had ever been a part of a real one he would know it would take days or even weeks to complete a genuine exorcism.
2. On a deeper level, he implies that the family in Kent, Kentucky was put through a demonic haunting and a death of a family member, so Ryan would be called to that location at that time.
Notice two things about the team's arrival. 1. Barb, the mother, greets the team and is well dressed. She shows no signs of stress and no evidence that she had just battled a demon. 2. Observe Lara's "black eye." Freeze the DVD and take a close look. Do you see any swelling at all? Remember, this just had happened a few hours ago yet there's no major discoloring, no real bruising nothing that you would link to a black eye. It looks like shades of yellow, dark blue and black eye shadow. Also, if Lara was being choked, why aren't there any markings on her neck?
Ryan says to Lara, "You know why we're here, right?" He smiles.
Also, Lara's name is now spelled Lara in this episode.
8:58 PM Interview with Client's Parents. This is where they discuss the fight they had with the demon last night. The mother describes the scenario: "It had grabbed her and was starting to pull her up from the end of the bed and started to suspend her from her ankles upside down in the air." Imagine that! Where's the pictorial evidence? If Lara is being suspended in mid-air upside down, that would be headline news. Not just for Quincy, Illinois or Chicago, but nationally and internationally. She would be on CNN, BBC, you name it.
During the client interview notice that Chad is next to Ryan and then he disappears.
We then have Ryan taking Chad on a tour of the home, pointing out alleged sites of major demonic attacks on Lara. In the "I Am Six" episode are we presented with any real proof of these things happening?
1 The marks on her back don't happen while others are around. The marks are only on her back; none on the face or arms. They aren't deep enough to draw blood, nor will they cause permanent scarring.
2 They show the top of the laundry chute. Where is the proof that she ever fell down the laundry chute? We see no pictures.
3 Again, where is the proof that she was wedged inside the chute? There's a shot of the bottom of the laundry chute. Where is the pictorial evidence that she was ever crammed inside it?
Chad claims that something pushed him much like in the "Church of the Damned" episode when Ryan says he was pushed.
But Ryan is too busy changing into a hoodie again to give Chad a hand.
We need to take a close look at the odd business concerning the names of the demon[s] that are supposedly possessing the girl. It is a common practice during the deliverance ceremony to inquire directly to the demon the names of the demon/demons that possess the individual. They seem to be avoiding avoid performing the deliverance ceremony, because one is never done.
The source of these names is Chip Coffey the same person that introduced the world to Ryan’s personal demon back in season 1's "The Name" episode.
We jump to the outside of the house where Chip and Ryan are discussing names. Chip holds a small note pad containing the list of six demonic names. These are not just any names, but some of the top-ranking demons. It's very interesting to note that one particular name is absent, and that is the name of Ryan's personal demon. In fact, this is one who's ranked right behind the leadership of the forces of darkness.
But what's even odder is the list itself. Freeze frame the shot and you will see six names. But watch when they do a close up – you'll see only five names on the list. So, are there five or six? Apparently, they aren't sure of one of the names, as on both pages one has a question mark next to it.
The captions claim it is 10:47 as they start bringing in the para-celebs and setting things up. Notice that Ryan walks by a clock that reads 8:47.
As the following scenes unfold it changes from light to dark outside as the shots are mismatched.
Notice how Lara's "black" eye is beginning to fade and in some shots it's almost gone.
Where is Chad when they're performing the exorcism on Lara? Chad is not in the room. Isn't Chad supposed to be helping film the actual exorcism? DVD TIMELINE 29:55 -- watch the right hand side of your screen and see the window. Who's there? Chad! He walks by, glances inside, sees the exorcism, and hurries back inside. Can we say gotcha? Especially in the next scene after Chad talks to Ryan about getting shots of Lara when he was outside, and not inside.
One wonders where did the Lorraine and Chip go? Lorraine disappears from the episode and Chip is only seen in the background in a few shots.
When Ryan gives his big battle speech and takes part in the experiment he wears a dark t-shirt but when there is a big ruckus upstairs he rushes up the stairs, now wearing a coat.
Did Lara's black eye appear to be a makeup job? DVD TIMELINE 30:32 there's no black eye. At various times in this episode, it's more prominent than others. Observe that she has a Band-Aid over her left eyebrow. All the makeup on Lara's face is gone leaving no black eye. This is very obvious in the final shot. DVD TIMELINE: 41:04 there is no black eye and the Band-Aid is gone.
UPDATE: While doing research on the book we came across this letter posted onto the PRS message boards reportedly written by Barb, Lara's mother. She addresses what has happened to Lara and her family since the second exorcism. If this letter is true, it's a heartbreaking story. It raises some very serious questions about the amount of responsibility that PRS shows to their clients.
PRS promises to help them. But should that help end as soon as the cameras stop rolling? As we have seen in the cases we've examined, some families do not find peace after the team leaves. Kelli Ryan, episode 27 "The Messenger" didn’t. Eric and Lisa, the family from episode 29 "The Glove", reported a chair sliding across the floor a week after the team left.
You read about a family reporting being terrorized by demons and the team will battle with them only to have the demons return two weeks later. More than a year has passed and Lara remains haunted by demon/s. When did Ryan return or present her case to the Catholic Church to arrange for a full exorcism? Did he invite Chip, Lorraine Warren, or Father Bob Bailey to return? They were guests of the show but PRS clearly has a responsibility to bring these issues to a close. Has Ryan given up hope as he claimed Lara was a case of perfect possession? What is perfect possession? It would mean that Lara would have completely given herself over to the demons and want them to remain. Her behavior would be far worse than anything the actor Charlie Sheen had been engaging in with the drugs, alcohol and porn stars. Also, Lara wouldn't bathe, she would incessantly curse, and she would harm those around her, destroying their faith and demolishing religious objects. This kind of behavior is NOT evident in the episode you've just seen.
Barb's letter from October 21, 2009 can be found here: http://forums.pennstateprs.com/index.php?showtopic=20771&hl=
"Hello to everyone and God bless all of you. I'm just sending a brief note to explain Lara's upset, (she is ill with the flu right now and may not have handled this situation which has arisen as gracefully as possible). She received an e-mail where an individual made a rhetorical request for 'THE' Lara to answer the sender's questions, if she didn't mind. The sender only gave her about 14 hours to respond. She was 3 hours too late and the sender's questions were made public and were on the topic of providing proof, mainly medical in nature. Lara would have been willing to respond to the sender's email. Our family (Lara included) understands the topic of possession from the viewpoints of the skeptics, believers, and those who fall in between. There are some questions that we can answer and there are some that we legally can't because it may involve someone not in our family or a third party. We do feel that she, (and we), deserve some privacy. But, understand, all of our researchers do know her history and would not have investigated if she suffered from psychosis or dissociative disorder. She has had very thorough psychiatric evaluations, even from the Mayo Clinic, and does not have either - there is no medical explanation or disease that can explain what has happened.
"Also know that what was aired on Paranormal State was only forty or so minutes extracted from several days of investigation. The exorcism alone began in the afternoon and did not end until around midnight, or later. You have all seen only snippets of an ongoing serious situation. Most of what has happened here you know nothing of, and I can assure you, you don't want to know. But, as an example of one such well-documented incident was a rape that sent her to her gynecologist, (which he carefully noted in his files). She had second degree burns (and will always have the scars), on the inside of her thighs in the shape of fingerprints. She was cut and burned on the inside and smeared with ash, all of which her doctor was an eye-witness to. I saw this happen to her, so I solemnly give my word that it was not faked. She has been degraded and shamed every single way possible. She was scratched so many times on her back that her back dripped blood, as if she had been scourged. I also have scars from scratches that showed up on me whilst I was trying to help her. My son was sent to the emergency room afer experiencing a very agonizing and unexplainable pain in the region of the sternum, a pain that left us in fear that one of his arteries was dissecting. My husband, demanding of the demon to take him instead and leave Lara alone, immediately developed pneumonia that lasted for two months. When I say we all suffer and offer it for all of you, I am quite serious.
"I also would strongly advise, for your own safety, not to watch these episodes for hours nonstop. "They" are very cunning and have discovered how to use our own technology to their own advantage. The only proof that you will truly believe is when it happens to you. "Pure Evil, the Demonic, ot They" would be more that thrilled to oblige, but is that what you truly want? To live through what we are suffering? We are struggling very hard, all of us, to stay alive and sane through this mess. Is that what you want to feel? I personally care about all of you (Lara also cares, too) and do NOT want that for any of you. So, may God's angels surround and protect you, and may you never know what we have known.
Barb, (Lara's Mom)."
Barb, (Lara's Mom)."
Paranormal Evidence Tally
1 Claims of Paranormal Activity: We have two cases here. The family in Kentucky claims that a demon caused a family member to commit suicide. The Illinois case is about Lara still being possessed by the demon that was haunting her in Season 2's "I Am Six" episode.
2 Proof of Paranormal Activity: None in either case.
3 Accuracy of Psychic: Kentucky episode: 3. Chip reveals some general details. Illinois episode: 2. Chip makes an effort. However, his accuracy takes a big hit when he comes up with the claim that, just like in the original episode, six demons are haunting Lara once again. In reality, there was only one demon that went by the name of Six.
4 Ryan Buell's Producer Credit: Consulting Producer
5 Demon Count: 00
February 2011 UPDATE: An on-set source for both the "I Am Six" and "The Possession: Return of Six" episodes came forward days before this book was completed. We felt the information they provided was significant enough to be included. More importantly, we have been able to confirm much of what they shared.
It seems that Lara had a fascination with the film, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and had watched it many times. As Emily Rose had six demons inside of her, in "I Am Six" Lara claims that the demon inside of her is named Six. In "Possession: Return of Six", Chip Coffey lists six different demons, just as in the movie. During the filming of both episodes Lara and her family were experiencing some very difficult times emotionally. And Lara viewed the possibility of experiencing an exorcism as a form of alternative therapy to help her deal with her troubles. She was never sure if the demon was real or comprised of things she had kept buried in her subconscious that were trying to emerge.

Introduction To Paranormal 101
By Paula Sevenfold
*WARNING* Negative spirits is not something to be entered into casually or as a hobby!
Demonologists, priest, pastors, minister and bishops have devoted their lives to the field of theological study. They have spent years in study and working with people and helping people be delivered of oppression through demons or evil spirits.
If you do not have the proper studies, qualifications etc, do not think you are prepared to deal with demons, wraiths, and any other type of negative force… This is something real professionals handle and they do not glorify it anywhere on which to become rich and famous .
The spiritual world does exist and is not meant to be fun and games.... The real risk could lead into oppression , obsession, false doctrines, attachments, run - ins , push - ins, possessions, sudden illness, sudden death, sleep deprivation, anger, divorce, sudden misfortune , fights, health issues, accidents, bad break ups, time loss and the list goes on!
I am going to be doing a lot of venting in this blog because there seems to be a huge increase with today’ so- called “Ghost Hunters “.These so-called “Ghost Hunters” do not stick to any type of protocol whatsoever and some even steal other’s hard work!
This is the Do’s and Don’ts of the Paranormal Field when learning before ever taking on some sort of client or clients. I am sorry but I am mind boggled that a large number of these so “Paranormal Teams” Do Not and I mean DO NOT do any sort of paper work.” Yes, you read that right and it gets even more disgusting: they take people’s money and walk out on the families. Clients are supposed to trust us and they call us in for some sort of help. We are supposed to be professional and take what we do seriously. It is very sad some do not and it can be very nerve wracking to a client.
When dealing with a client you need to have paper work already for them to fill out such as legal rights, insurance liability, insurance bonding, non-disclosure agreements, copyright/intellectual property waivers etc. this paperwork is important and must include liability insurance etc. for the priest, reverend, pastor, minister, deacon ad infinitum., when they go into a home to do an exorcism, house cleansing and also just to begin and to complete an investigation. The aforementioned is the proper protocol l for all areas of this field.
Many frauds argue what is and what is not professional and they come back as if they were professional. A lot of clients do not do back ground checks and even teams do not do background checks! This field is very dangerous in all aspects. You never know if you are walking into a house that someone could be a huge drug dealer or serial killer. There is also the possibility if your team is not properly bonded, that the team could be accused of Grand Theft among other pitfalls of not following proper protocol.
There are kid teams out there too, that do not know the risk and dangers. Some teams even call themselves experts but we are all equal and no one is an expert in this field.
There are red flags if a team does not have their stuff together and just evidence collecting :
· *No paper work (Liability, Bonding, NDAs et al.,)
· *Charging Money
· *Demanding donations
· *Walking out after 15 minutes
· *Bragging (giving into Pride, rather than the humility to serve the clients’ needs)
· *Bringing in occult tools for a cleansing
· *Lying and/or not acting in a professional manner
· *Faking evidence
· *Stealing people’s, teams’, crews’ evidence
· *Bringing their kids on investigations*
· *Drinking or partaking in any illicit drug while investigating
· *Not takng any notes or questioning the clients before going in
· *Provoking without the proper training and the long list goes on
· *No thrill seeking
· *No privet Donations
· *Not publicly showing Exorcisims and esspecially not haven any documentation backing it up! The list goes on and on!
These are the ones that charge, screws up on cases and give in to their own pride. Bashing other teams publicly and humiliating others, harassment, threats and that is just the beginning. This is not a plague given to only Paranormal Teams, False Prophets do it too! They think exorcisms are the best thing in the world and they glorify it everywhere.
I am seeing more and more people turning to the occult side of things and they are doing more harm than good. Satan wants you to think any way he wants , he can tempt you into falling for his spiritual tramps. Thrill seeking is highly dangerous and there is a high demand for the negative evidence because many believe or choose not to believe in his tricks and games. I’ve seen a large number of victims having more negative problems in their lives and is turning to God because they are crying wolf. This para-drama must stop .
There is a high number of priests, reverends, ministers, pastors and paranormal teams being sued because they did not do any type of paperwork, walking out on clients scamming them and much worse I’ve heard of horrible cases involving rape and molestation!
*Investigators* can become the hunted and negative spirits do hide and there is a handful of people that do and do not know this. There are some that use religious materials such as holy water, franken scents,vanilla but what they do not know when using that spirits do manifest and can come after you full force.
If you are not properly trained to do that , it can and will be very dangerious. Families should not be in the home during a cleansing and during a investigation during a exstreme case. There is some teams who fail to obied by this and the case can tend to get worse.
So if you are a client reading this or an investigator-in-training please read this and remember you are putting someone’s life in your hands , when it comes to taking on clients. Clients please beware there are a high number of frauds out there.
There is good news, there is also a good handful of teams out there, doing their job well! They get the churches involved , keep things to themselves no para-drama, collecting evidence in the correct and professional manner. They are not lying to their clients and not exploiting the “coolness” of exorcisms. There is nothing cool about them. It’s very sad that frauds are running rampant and they do ruin it for the good teams out there! I Know a lot of good teams and if I named them all, it would be a book!
So I give Hugs through the Lord to them and they know who they are! The Lord knows who they are. Please be aware and alert and if you are Paranormal Team, continue your studies and do your good work.
God Bless !
*Unless that child is in their teens and an investigator-in-training. You are helping a client, find a babysitter!

Biblical Authority By Whom?
By Paul D. Joao
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
2 Tim 3:16
In the views of Paranormal and Christianity many people are unaware of the authority that is given that makes the verse above a reminder that people should be a grounded in a foundation of the Gospel but they are on aware of dangers of what is not told, in the world of the paranormal. In truth, the world of Paranormal is a broad and very optioned that when people discuses ideas and facts on cases and when it comes to help people, at times questions leaves people asking more questions in the first place. In additions are Christian ministries and groups that help people but at times, what Christian may say is not what the they want to hear. As a result, people debating with any aspects of truth but there is a question that people should ask, Should we have a Biblical Authority like a church father for questions in these modern days?
When we think of Church Fathers, what make them the authority figure in the first place, if we asked was it a combo of the Holy Spirit and people approved the person. Than we need to add that, that person would have understanding of the Bible in the original language, philosophy of Jesus Christ, and a person that loves the truth of the gospel. If we view that person as a Preacher that can get people to think of the topic and make a person to think of the topic among others, or the ideas of the topic that would make sense when people understand it. Does that person exit in these modern times, the answer is no. We spend time reading and hearing from so many people within the Paranormal and Christianity, more too often we hear the about the drama and how people who are helping others and what they are teaching goes against known real theology. Therefore, we must ask what is Real theology, it comes when a Church Father comes in handedly; think of the Reformation age when people had Martin Luther and John Calvin. Could we look at Walter Martin, Derek Prince, and Kurt E. Koch as a church father for the Demonology, or the preternatural aspect? In today’s Society people who want answers to the many questions that interring them to enter the fields of the paranormal as Christianity stands it’s an undeveloped level for a Church father stands, in regarding to what the level of a Church Father once stood for. For clarify on a matter, let us take a situation that may or not may have happen in real life?
As a precaution, this event did happen and names of people are not mention for their personal identification would not know for this paper. In addition, the story is not discussed the full details to protect the client’s claims of what happen.
As the story goes, a “Credited” demonologist male was helping several cases mostly woman and what the ladies said is “he” has helped them on a phone or have visited their homes. Meanwhile, these women begin to talk to each other and form a friendship and they were trying to get help from this man, what they did not know is that the “man” has a history of problems with the paranormal creating a issue that where did he get his “credit” at. Due to the women who were trying to get help and often Paranormal teams have came to investigate the problem but it is a common problem is in each case a children has been injured, smells of odors be noticed. People behaviors been effected plus it appears that the demon has been traveling from each home to the next one. For a while, it would be quiet until someone mentions the demonologist's name it makes the matter worse for the family. If this is not common when a person who been helping would see that they the clients have a relief from what they been though. As for the demonologist, a reporter discovered that the man in questioned was a self-trained, and his “credit” that he received was a onetime fee and here you go type of fraud, leaving the women helpless. If a person was wondering did any one reported to a commission of a leadership sadly there is no police and “his” practice is still going on possibly more woman are being deceived by this man. Someone would think that people would stop him, but word is out there. What about the women, as a suggestion was made that several teams would investigate the locations and come together with the results and if necessity a priest would come to the locations for a house cleaning of some kind. Now let us say if the person is a demonologist is at fault what then, do people discredit to a point that people like clients want to harm that person/demonologist. Here is a story that happens to a man in real life and his “credits.”
In case with Mark Warnke story author of Satan Seller, it was his created Biography of his life, which he did not have. The created version was a great story as many people were following him for a number of years. The story goes he was intrigued with the Occult and learned from a man that taught him the secrets of a dark magic, as he raises from a member to leading a group to a higher levels then he seen God and learned about Jesus and traded all of his occult things for a bible. When he was in the Vietnam War, on one day thinking of all of the people being killing, for what? In his mind, he and Jesus was far away, Jesus never left him and he left to come back so he left the army and headed back to the States and formed his ministry. It was going great until the news brought out that he was lying and his ministry that was helping people did not trust him, with anything and he’s “credited” person was no more, today he is known as a comedy preacher.
How does these ties with a Church Father, it does because it’s a person who many can consider it as a judge as a person that oversees the ministries and helps people just like a bishop is a number of a churches. Someone that a person to watch the paranormal communities and its people from being deceive away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the misunderstood teachings of these people. The thing is what is “credit” means did not Apostles Paul went back to the Apostles in order to have the authority for his ministry. In the end, when it comes to the Christian Paranormal communities who watches “us” in reality because of the nature people are often to come up with their options and conclusions of what know and often using the Bible for guidance. If that is the case then people should have method or cannon of some sort to how to help the people from their Christianity Paranormal cases studies. Where people can format a plan on how they would achieve a great success in their “work” with helping people and create a similar style as a Church Father. Would that make a person a church father or a person that can teach people the Truths in the Christian Paranormal communities in the modern times?

It Is All About Jesus
Rev. Mark Hunnemann
Cuss me…make fun of me….but imply that I don’t believe in JESUS-ALONE and I get upset. That very thing happened a couple days ago on the hallowed pages of Facebook, but I won’t bore you with the details.
First, the bible insists on Jesus alone. He alone can save from God’s wrath, eternal damnation, enslavement to demons, and death. If the Father ever has to choose between our religious whims and the singular honor and dignity of His Son, He will always choose the honor of His Son—He has made that abundantly clear. It is not about us..it is not even about our ministries; it is ALL about Jesus.
It is all about who Jesus IS and what He has DONE....He is the eternal, Second Person of the Trinity, who has joined to Himself, for all eternity, a human body—now glorified. He was incarnated, lived a perfect life, died for us, rose for us, and ascended into heaven.
He may have “sat down”, but not in a lounge chair; a throne. The most significant political event in the history of the cosmos was/is the Ascension—being crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords. All spirits are subjects of His rule. .The Judge of the universe is also our personal Defense Attorney. He rules…everything that happens to His children must first pass through His heart. He is good…all the time. Not only does Jesus rule from His throne, but He prays for us….by name. (how fantastic)!
Last night I was personally texted by a demon…through a person possessed….this has happened before. Several folks have tried to help this person: investigators and deliverance folks. More often than not they have fared very badly—either dying or getting mysteriously sick. This is all sobering, but IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS.. In comparison, nothing else matters…in spiritual warfare, as in all of life, IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS…our precious Savior and Warrior. Praise His holy name!...

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
By Joe Andrade
Down the dark decades of the paranormal field, there have been great investigators, innovators, inventors, parapsychologists, theologians, scientists, demonologists and psychics.
All have been scrutinized one way or another for what they believe without a shadow of a doubt for ideas, opinions, feelings, insights and evidence that were genuine proof of an afterlife.
But who are the doubters, the accusers, and their malfices?
Greed, Jealousy, Anger, Pride and HATE. It’s not who you think it is. They are the real EVIL, true negative demonic entities. Why are there so many forms of evil in this world? Do you know that Satan owns this earth. "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." And the Bible identifies him, saying: "The one called Devil and Satan is misleading the entire inhabited earth."-1 John 5:19; Revelation 12:9.
God the hammer, we his nails, for the crosses we bare, for what we do in every aspect of our lives. Why would you put so much energy on hurting just for the sake of suffering, by comparison, the passion of Christ, to your own brothers and sisters? We do the same work, the blood, sweat, tears and with one ultimate goal, to give our clients peace of mind. Whether or not, natural or paranormal.
To look deeper within your soul, gaze upon a mirror. What do you see? Not your reflection, but your own eyes. Tell yourself you’re a liar, a cheat, a loser, and a worthless waste of flesh and of bone. Do you realize, we do this without a mirror, one form or another, on a daily basis?
With the mirror you disperse the negative onto yourself, immediately! How do you feel? Depressed? Humiliated? Worthless? What does this do, to your soul and spirit? What we are here becomes our afterlife.
Now with your negative self, looking back at you say, “I Love You”, much more difficult isn’t it? Now send that negativity to a hate mail, I will make it a positive. Creating negative energy in any type of media, masking as good intentions, opinions, and dialogue, still a manifestation of that negative energy, a reflection of oneself. For example: There are groups with good intentions, but they charge a hefty fee. Services Guaranteed! $250 per hr. + travel. Same price remotely (which they prefer?) $150 consultation fee 30-45 mins, true evil, and masking. Are they doing any good? They have been stated they charge for the sheer exhaustion from sending positive energy to cleanse. Really?
Truest evil disguised as an answering to a call for help in the darkest form. An Exorcist performing exorcisms remotely from a Lay Z Boy through Ebay. $199 + $3.99 for shipping. Shipping??? Remotely….shipping… Get it? 10 quantities available, while supplies last (exact quotes) Hell hath no fury, like a demonologist scorned.
To Be Discerned
Love, Light, & Respect!

Issue 79 Ghost Adventures Goes 'Paranormal State' in a Bad Way
By Kirby Robinson
Have Ghost Adventures Become God's Messengers in Their Minds?
It finally had to happen but it's now time that the EYE expose the fakery of Zak, the Ghost Adventures crew and their sponsors.
But first some news …
EYE ON THE PARANORMAL PM EDITION
We're going to launch a PM EDITION OF THE EYE ON THE PARANORMAL. We have a great editor/manager lined up to make it as big as the original. I will contribute some blogs to get it rolling. If you have something to write about and would like to be a blogger for us just contact us at: freeallspirits@live.com
We welcome Joe Andrade to the Eye on the Paranormal. Joe will be blog for us every other Thursday, giving his own unique view of the paranormal.
Ghost Adventures Goes 'Paranormal State' in a Bad Way
We at the EYE have never followed Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures very closely, mostly because few people really take the show seriously. Take a close look at it – it's all just scenery. Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin have great personalities; they're athletic looking young men, and are attractive to the ladies. But what is the show really about but a bunch of people locked down [not really they leave the set during filming for breaks]. They scream and run around in the dark and allegedly get themselves in dangerous situations. [Not really, our on-set source tells us these are staged]. They claim to deal with demons [which they don't].
Now they've crossed the line into Paranormal State territory, and they did it in a very bad way. Sure, they take part in the same lies and deceptions as PRS and that includes staged and faked scenes, false information about demonic activity, and running around with a bunch of useless equipment. But they also do a disservice to the viewer as they begin to TELL the viewer that they are authorities on life after death and what that state is.
What they offer is just milquetoast new age crap loaded with lots of sugar to get the audience to swallow it. They don't end their deceptions with their show as they turn to other paranormal entertainment industry outlets. [We'll deal with them in a later segment of this blog series]. But the worst thing of all is that they take part in a deception that if a person falls for it, may lead that person into demonic bondage.
It saddens me that just about everyone in the paranormal entertainment industry is in it for a buck. Most of them know they are fake, and only a few really allow themselves to be totally delusional about what they do. In fact, the field has become so tainted that they're willing to allow convicted child molesters to work alongside them. Making the next car/house payment trumps that. In the end, they'll face a final judge that won't be impressed by the number of shows they were on, or what their ratings were, or the level a book reached on the bestseller list. The only thing that judge will be impressed with is did they glorify God? Did they teach a path that if followed would lead a person from God to the grasp of a demon? And this is where the problem lies--the Ghost Adventures went to the dark side with the Galka case.
So slippery are their deceptions and trickery that it will take a few blogs to expose them…and expose them we will.
Let me clarify my position on life after death. I'm a Christian and my views on the matter of ghosts have changed recently, after much research and prayer. When a person dies, they go to heaven or hell. If you encounter something that goes bump in the night it's not Casper the friendly ghost but a demon. There is nothing in the teachings of Christ that says ghosts are real. Many new agers try their best to distort Biblical passages, but to reiterate, ghosts aren't real, if you follow the teachings of Christ.
The episode features the Galka family, who lost their teenage daughter, Melissa, to a tragic auto accident. Four days afterwards, they removed her from life support.
The producers of Ghost Adventures and the team know they have a very emotional episode on their hands. They know the audience will get involved in the loss of a pretty, intelligent, talented, and vivacious girl. It's terrible and hits close to home--any parent fears that they might lose their child.
Now here is the twist and it's dandy. The child's dad just happens to build devices that can be used to pick up the presence of a ghost and to talk to them. [Neither of these two things have ever been proven to be real ghosts or the ability to pick up their voices EVP's]. Sure go to the conferences, watch the shows, buy or rent the DVD's, but show the public hard scientific evidence that they exist. I have seen attempts, but once you really start to dig into the reports it always traces itself back to people who have a vested interest in the subject.
Gary Galka owns DAS Distribution, Inc. "DAS Distribution Inc. has been a leading supplier of Precision Non-Contact/Contact Measurement Products, Data Acquisition Systems, Automation Sensors and Test & Inspection Equipment for over 20 Years. Industries served include Wire, Optical Fiber, Medical, Aerospace, Automotive Industries and many more." They also build and sell devices such as the Mel-Meter and the SB7 Spirit Box that allegedly detect the presence of ghosts.
Zak makes much of this fact in the episode, repeating that Gary builds the devices and Ghost Adventures uses them. What does this prove? Nothing. It's simply a way to trick the audience into thinking that if Zak uses them they've got to really pick up ghostly activity. In reality who has proven these things pick up the presence of ghosts? Yes, they pick up something--but is it a ghost? It would have been far more legitimate to mention ONCE that Gary builds them, and leave it at that…but they don't.
The beginning of the episode is taken right from the now cancelled A&E show Paranormal State. A voiceover of Zak telling the audience what is about to happen. We see the family in different shots grieving over the loss of their daughter. The team shows up and is welcomed into the home.
We see a series of videos and photos of Melissa.
Then we get to the night of September 24, 2004 Gary had a premonition of something not being right. There's a knock on the door and his world was shattered as he learns that she had been driving a car that hit a tree head on. Four days later, they removed her from life support and she died.
We are then shown a deceptive shot of a young girl watching the scene of the accident, [which was staged just for that shot]. Then the girl is seen running through the woods [again staged]. She's running to the home but is that Melissa in the house--or a demon?
