we're all waiting for your approval...actually, no were really not!
You know what really irks me about some teams? Their arrogance. Just read a post from a team saying they’re going to a location to “see if there actually is still something there”. Well, thank you all knowing ones. The research and investigating of the other 9,000 teams done at said location meant absolutely nothing. The world will go based solely on your conclusions. We’ll wait for your word like the second coming Jesus!
Get real!
Everyone is getting something different. Everyone is coming out with a different conclusion. No one cares if you think so or not. You aren’t that great. Your self-appointed expertise does not conclude a locations haunting, nor does it say whether another team’s findings are correct or not. Get over yourself! No one made you the location haunt police. No one gave you the rank of location approval. You don’t get the position of handing out certificates of verification made up by “me, myself, and I, because I’m all that matters.”
Sorry to burst your bubble of self-worship, but nobody is hanging on your opinion. You are in fact, just one of many.
OMG! Just Shut up Already!
Have you ever watched something so arrogant and alienating that it made your blood boil? I just did. I’m sick to death of the all-out slamming of any demon claims because some just don’t believe it, or because its being overused by the fakers. Ok fine, you don’t believe it, but to call someone a liar and say things that harmed them didn’t happen is asinine, with an emphasis on the ass.
Just because a bunch of morons are running around claiming it on TikTok and YouTube does not mean that real life claims aren’t true. Just because Zak is entertaining the masses, (and your jealous beyond belief that you can’t have his fame and fortune), does not mean there aren’t truly people living a nightmare. This mentality is what left me abandoned with oppression after begging for help. This bullshit thinking from pseudo expert wannabes who think they are all knowing, is what left me dealing with this every day for almost 2 years, and terrified to write my story so I could help others, knowing I would have to deal with these jerks. There were 3 things that finally pushed me into the, “I no longer give a damn what they say”, state of mind. A talk with Henry San Miguel, a talk with Dave Schrader, and knowing there are people hiding their pain because of these asshats point of view.
I don’t give a damn how much backlash and fun making of me comes along with that book anymore. If I can show someone going through it that there are people who believe them, it’s worth the literal crap slinging I will get. And buddy trust me, you don’t want to come at me when it comes to people being hurt, and then made fun of by you.
Yes, demons are very rare, but they DO exist! No, the BS on social media by influencers is not real. But as a self-proclaimed expert or pro, these insult throwing people should have the common sense to divide the 2 and understand that there’s far more to the spirit realm than what they choose to believe, including the demonologists saying demons aren’t real, as if that makes any sense at all. These investigators do NOT have the right to tell someone they did not get scratched, (spirits scratch, I suppose they aren’t real either), that they did not feel that evil, that they did not have that thought put in their head, that they did not see that thing happen. Ghost, demon, fairy, little green man, talking tree, I don’t give a damn, they have NO right to flat out say something did not happen to someone else. They certainly do not have the right to tell someone the fear that comes with experiencing an evil you can’t even imagine didn’t really happen or was unfounded. Hey you, know it all, have you experienced everything? No you say, then shut the hell up with telling people they aren’t experiencing what they are going through.
Demons may be rare, but they do happen, and I have watched people suffer silently with no camera in their face, no TikTok videos, no influencer potential, or viral aspirations. I have been that person suffering offline. Until you die, crossover, travel through hell, shake hands with Satan, and vacation in all the realms, you have zero right to say someone is lying about their personal hell, EVER! You weren’t there! You don’t know! You only have YOUR opinions!
This subject is very touchy for me and listening to this bullshit lost what teeny tiny bit of respect I had left for the people I heard say it. Opinions mean nothing when it comes to what I survived, and what would have them crying in a corner, begging for Zak to come save them, LOL!
If you haters and judgement slingers want to know the story, it’s available on Barnes and Noble, I’ll even give you link below. If you read it and choose to slam me, I’ll just go ahead and give you my reply, “Thanks for the money and the PR! All of the profits for this book goes back into 2Realm, so we can continue to help others dealing with what you can’t handle.” Those that slander it, can’t handle it!
HEAR ME DAMN IT!
Most people believe that if a spirit lashes out, it’s automatically a demon. They believe a scratch, a push, a slap, is an inherently evil behavior that can only be that of the darkest of dark. This thinking has led to unhealthy fears and a complete cut off of communication with souls that just may need help.
But, like the living, the dead get frustrated when not being heard. I mean, they are human.
Imagine yourself in this situation; you are trying to tell someone something important. You say the words and they ignore you. You say it louder, they ignore you. You scream it, they ignore you. You start getting angry because this is important to you, but this person is not listening. You get in their face, they ignore you. They ignore you to the point of you pushing them physically out of frustrated desperation. It keeps going until you finally feel something. And then that something scares them, and you are now the bad guy. All you were trying to do is tell them something, but you are now called evil. Your pain, your hurt, your very existence is now darkness to the people around you.
This is what these people are going through. Just because something happens that seems negative, doesn’t mean it necessarily is.
Don’t get me wrong, the darker spirits and beings will harm you just to do it, and these behaviors should not be taken lightly, but don’t jump to conclusions. It’s just as likely, in fact, it’s more likely that grandma is trying to get a message across, and you aren’t hearing her.
Like the last RT, we have concluded that spirits have the same emotions that they did when alive. If you unintentionally ignore them, they will react the same way they did before passing.
It is extremely hard for us to say goodbye to the people we love, but it’s also hard for them to be ghosts. You may feel the ungodly pain of not seeing them ever again or the heartbreak of never hearing their voice, or feeling their touch, but imagine what it’s like for them. They see you; they hear you; they touch you, and you never know it. You take no notice of it. They could feel that you no longer care at all.
I’m not saying that you should cater to the spirit world and invite all communication and touch. What I am saying is that not everything is as it seems and remember that they are hurting too.
Please do not investigate your own home, call in a trusted team and a very trusted medium. Find out before assuming. A quick read may be all it takes to make them understand that you didn’t know they were trying, and to get their message to you.
Please send me your opinions on this subject.
Soul Prisoners
Have you ever felt like a prisoner in your own home, maybe in your own life? I’m sure the answer is yes. I have too. I’ve fought depression and anxiety for years. This battle within myself has made me question if it all stops when we die. Wondering if ghosts find themselves still dealing with these thoughts of deep sadness and panic, or if by some miracle there is relief in the afterlife.
What I have realized is that they do feel the same emotions in some cases. Sadder yet is that some actually experience becoming a prisoner in that home and being trapped eternally. I have come across many spirits that are in fact, in emotional turmoil. For example, the girl who haunts my office.
When I moved in here, I felt a draw to that room, yet I wanted nothing to do with it. Every time I even walked past the door I felt sadness. For a while it was just storage with a shut door because it was hard to be in there. I continually got psychic impressions of a young girl from the early 1900’s sitting at a school desk, her head down on her folded arms, crying.
When I decided to turn the room into the office, I knew the energy could be a problem, but I needed a place to work and do interviews. It was still engulfed in sad emotion, but with every picture hung and piece of furniture placed, it got better. She was still there but her emotions seemed fainter. The sad energy was competing with my happy energy and creating a calm middle ground. There have been moments when I realize I’m sitting at the desk, head on folded arms, crying and I have to snap myself out of it. Those are days the room is feeling a bit more mournful and I’m struggling within myself too. I feel her emotions much stronger at those times. We have come to a point of living together. She only speaks mumbled disembodied words to us when we are in bed at night. Though she has allowed me to know her name is Kelly. We have tried to move Kelly on, but she won’t go. Until she’s ready, we will simply work together in that room. Sometimes she says hi to you guys by letting you see her flickering my lights on camera.
We’ve all heard or even seen for ourselves, the stories of a sorrowful soul who roams looking for their lost love, or the angry spirit out for revenge, or even the jealous ghost who envies the living. We’ve all heard stories where a ghost filled with emotion affects the living in the location with those same emotions. A projection of sorts. And imagine being stuck forever in the place you once called home, the place you loved, watching strangers come in and change it, destroying what you remember. You have no say so and your voice is never heard. It truly is an eternal sentence in an emotional prison. Imagine a child to scared to crossover. We give them toys to play with, but they can’t make them move. They can’t hug that dolly or race that car along the floor. It creates sadness in them. I often feel like I’m teasing them when I ask them to touch something.
A lot of people look at animals like they have no emotion and treat them as such, (they are as wrong about that as denying I have emotions), but I think we have taken that mentality into this too, and we have grown in the technical parts of paranormal research so much, that we forget the human behind the spirits we are studying. They have become things to do tricks for our excitement and data, no longer once living human beings in our eyes.
I believe every ghost is here for some reason. They chose not to cross for something that has stuck with them in life. Fear, regret, guilt, revenge, needing to get a message across, or waiting somberly for their loved ones to cross with them. None of these are good emotions. Even the souls that want to stay and seem happy, have a reason that isn’t truly happiness. Still fearing crossing into that light or not ready to leave what they loved, missing how it felt to be alive.
I would have loved to think that these overwhelming emotions of depression and anxiety I have been cursed with would all vanish in my death, and my mind could be happy without the infiltration of painful thoughts, but clearly the after-death existence of a soul still has the potential of being the same old heartbreaks and frankly, that sucks!
Please remember this RT when you investigate. Please keep the human in the spirit and understand that these souls may be fighting battles of the heart and mind on a level we can’t comprehend. Or on the same level of depression, fear, and anger as you are. They are people first, test subjects and parlor tricks never.
I would love to know your thoughts on this subject. Feel free to email me via the chat box in the right bottom corner, or message me on our social media.
i don't want to die young
Message from a follower:
“Everybody is out investigating, why aren’t you guys? You never investigate anymore.”
We do investigate just primarily residential, but there is a very good reason why we aren’t out every weekend. It’s not because we don’t want to be. We love it! It’s for our own good to slow down.
There was something said by a famous medium that resonated with me deeply and made me rethink the amount of investigating I was doing. She said that mediums die young. At first, I thought that was a pretty weird thing to say, but then I thought about it, and it makes perfect sense. I thought further and realized that some of the effects on a medium can make sense for an investigator without mediumship too.
We as investigators surround ourselves with death, we go into bad energy, we go into psychically unhealthy environments, that unpleasant energy can affect our well-being. What she was saying about mediums is that we feel everything the deceased felt and it affects our bodies and minds. I can vouch for this personally because I have felt what she was talking about. Think of it like this; you’re a medium, you go into an old hospital to investigate. You have several rooms with different spirits that had different causes of death and they each make you feel what they felt. First room, a man died of a heart attack. Medium goes in and senses it, the spirit shows the medium his pain, the medium literally feels chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath. Next room is a woman who was shot in the stomach. Medium goes in, senses it, spirit shows them her pain. The medium feels the pain of the bullet and all of the damage it caused internally. Next room, there’s someone with a head injury. Medium goes in, senses it, spirit shows them what the head pain felt like. Next room, the person was extremely depressed and committed suicide. Same scenario, the medium then feels not only physical pain, but emotional and mental as well. Now the medium has experienced a heart attack, been shot, suffered a deadly head injury, and felt the emotional pain of suicide.
Sure, these things are energetic. The medium didn’t actually have a heart attack, but the sensation they felt, felt very real. I have experienced this numerous times, most recently in a museum when a POW showed me what killed him. I felt the blows to my stomach like he did. I was doubled over in pain. The pain felt very real. I left the area and the pain stopped, but my stomach still felt off for days. These physical and mental sensations take a toll on us. They mess with our bodies and our minds. I am a medium, I don’t want to die young.
We can think about this similarly with investigating. No, investigators don’t die young and don’t take on mediumship senses, but they do surround themselves with death, darkness, and sadness. These things can affect the mind tremendously, and the anxiety and sadness affect the body. I have seen people I know, who investigate multiple times a week, start to change. I have seen friends younger than me begin to quickly age, let themselves go with medical issues and with overall health, and become very depressed. Their entire life has been consumed with all thing’s death, and of course with all things death, comes all things sorrowful. There is no happy in death. Science has proven that sadness will have bad effects on the body as well as the mind.
So, with that said, the reason we don’t investigate constantly is for our overall health, both physically and mentally. What good are we to the people (dead and alive) who need us, if we haven’t taken care of ourselves? Wearing ourselves out leaves us open to being harmed in negative cases and not having the strength to truly keep those who need us safe. One false move and we could make a haunting go from bad to a nightmare for the home or business owner. It’s not about quantity. It is all about quality. Slowing down is ok. It’s even healthy. No one wants to burn out and we certainly don’t want our souls light to go out early. Plus, repetition equals boredom. Not only do I want my spark to keep going, but I want my spark for the paranormal to keep going too. If it means I slow down to keep myself and others safe, then slow down I shall.
Pardon my language but, b*tch Please!
You all know I’m pretty outspoken and passionate about the paranormal. I’m even more outspoken when someone is telling me to conform. The reply is an immediate, NO! Well, there is something that has been happening and it’s really pissing me off!
So, I was listening to an extremely unprofessional podcast and this BS came up again. The phrase “We ARE completely changing the paranormal AND everyone in it.” Excuse me? Wait Just a damn minute! Who do you think you are to say you are changing me? Did God retire and give you his heavenly throne? Were you elected by the spirit realm as the new supreme being that controls all things paranormal? No! And No! Sit down and shut it. Do not waltz into a field that has been studied since the 19th century and think you have the right to change the entirety of it! And definitely do not bring your little self into my world and think you are conforming me to your opinions.
Let’s be real self-proclaimed superstar, you will not change the views of each individual investigator and researcher in such a diverse community. I’ve been researching for 33 years; my entire life has been the paranormal. I have my methods, beliefs, and techniques, and NO I’m not doing what you think is right for me and neither is anyone else.
If the changes go the route of groups like Get Haunted, who are trying to accomplish becoming a wonderful community that works together and promotes each other, absolutely, sign me up! Being there to share research and methods with each other, absolutely, sign me up! But when a team, yes a team, (and not a well experienced team either, despite their arrogance), comes out and says they are coming up with a way of changing the paranormal as it is and completely changing all of us with it, that is just the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. You do you, I’ll do research. You shut your face, and we will (as a community), make the paranormal the beautiful (sometimes ridiculous) diverse field of study it should be!
No one has the right to tell us all how to work in this field. No one has the right to say we are all wrong because they think so. No one has the right to toss all those years of research history because they have a superiority complex and a need to jump aboard the drama train for views.
The unspoken rules of the paranormal, don’t fake evidence, treat people, spirits, and locations with respect, and don’t be an asshole. These people clearly failed rule number 3. You will not, and this is a guarantee, change anything about anyone. No one is going to take that BS from even the biggest names. So, I say this as nicely as I can...B*tch please! This Realm Thoughts is your Realm Hell No!
"reality vs. Media: Not what you think”
So many times, I have taken people on investigations, and they come out of it shocked. Not because of incredible evidence, but because it’s nothing like TV and movies. Entertainment has painted such an extreme picture of all things paranormal, that many first-time investigators are disappointed. They expect objects to go soaring across the room, lights to flicker, and apparitions to appear instantaneously. They want on demand activity, and I really think some are hoping its like Ghostbusters and we’ll pull out the proton packs and catch some vengeful ghost. Really. I’m not kidding. As freaking awesome as that would be, its not happening!
Movies and even ghost hunting shows have made people think that its far more exciting than it is. When these people don’t get what they expect, they get mad at the team running the investigation.
What an investigation is really like is actually pretty boring. We go in, set up, and start begging. Honest to goodness that’s what it’s like. I always tell people that there are 3 stages of investigating.
Stage 1: Hopeful and excited. You go in thinking this could be the night. The excitement is bubbling over.
Stage 2: Still hopeful but losing the excitement, and gaining frustration. It’s halfway through and nothing.
Stage 3: Begging. This is nearing the end of the night, and nothing has happened. You’ve been sitting in the dark for hours, you’re worn out, so you start begging. “Please can you just do something, anything.” The hope has now turned toward evidence review.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had nights where the action starts the second we open the door to the place. But for the most part, it’s like the above. Paranormal lovers watch these shows where it looks like there is activity from the get-go and it doesn’t happen for them, then they think we’re doing wrong, and we wasted their time. They don’t realize that these shows were filmed over a week, that the EVP they just played and acted stunned was real, but the reaction was exaggerated for the people watching. It’s TV. If it’s not exciting, there are no ratings. Yes, even your favorite, most well respected and realer than real TV investigators still put a little more into it to make you happy.
I’m NOT saying they’re faking anything, most aren’t. I’m saying that sometimes all you get is so minimal that they have to show you that one thing in a very cool way. Think livestreams vs. GA. Livestreams (from real investigations. Not people running around screaming and acting stupid). For the real investigation, you jump on and it’s cool for a little while as you’re looking for something to happen, and then it gets boring, so you leave. You turn on GA and it’s a stream of activity and excitement, so you stay. People then think that is the reality of a paranormal investigation. Nope. It’s very different.
So, if you choose to go on an investigation, do so with real expectations. Chances are, if it’s public, you’re walking away with some new friends and that’s about it (unless they’re slinging out parlor tricks). I probably just pissed some people off with that statement, but I only tell the truth! If you do a private investigation, chances are you will experience the 3 stages above. So go for knowledge not excitement. Go for the answers you seek instead of YouTube bad acting. Go because you are genuinely interested. And as I say in pretty much everything I write; these ghosts are people. They do what they want, when they want, and they should be treated like people not circus acts. Do with this RT what you will, but now you have the truth! Except our events, they are awesome! 😉
"Sorry, not sorry”
(DISCLAIMER: This RT is about a specific email, along with other emails I have received on our website. If you think this is about you specifically, I can’t help that. You have obviously judged yourself. All I can do is tell you the previous sentence. With so much mudslinging and side taking in the paranormal, it seems everyone is thinking things that are said are a direct punch in the gut. If 2Realm has an issue with any one specific person, especially those considered our friends, we would not put it online, instead we would speak directly to you. If you still choose to think this is about you or get offended by it, there isn’t much else I can say. I’m entitled to my beliefs and so are you. Sometimes they differ and that’s ok. I would like to think you would do the same and reach out to me. We all have our drama. As you can see by the email below, I have mine also. I don’t have time to get into anyone else’s, I’m too busy dealing with mine. Nor do I want to be in anyone else’s business or battles. The fact that I have to add this disclaimer says a lot about the state of the paranormal and that really sucks.)
This week’s Realm Thoughts is a reply to a scathing email I got about saying a lot of people aren’t in the paranormal for the right reasons.
Email:
“Why are you such a bitch about why people get into the paranormal. Its none of your fucking business and you need to shut up about it. Ghost hunting is just for fun and your taking it way to serious!”
Well disgruntled 2Realm complainer, I have a very good reason for saying the things I say and feeling the things I feel. My experiences have led me to my conclusions. My observations have led me to my conclusions. Facts have led me to my conclusions. My ethics and my morals have led me to my conclusions.
There are 2 parts to the paranormal in general. The show boaters and the researchers. Sometimes they overlap in a great way. By show boaters, I mean those who have made it all about themselves. They do it all for them and care only about themself. By researchers, I mean those who have made it all about the dead. The overlap is where a lot of people fit in. The overlap is where a lot of my friends fit in. If those friends choose to have fun with it, that’s ok. I even go have fun with them sometimes. But, those friends still understand that they are having fun with people. That these are human beings that have passed away and they care when a spirit asks for help. The show boaters don’t care and that’s where the problem comes in. The show boaters have most likely never been in a situation where a tormented human soul has asked for help. I would like to think the “pay to play” mentality would go out the door and the heart would take over in these situations, but somehow, I doubt it would. When a spirit child asks for help because they are scared it tends to deflate egos really fast. Researchers and my friends would be there to help that child at any cost. (Please see the Talking with the Dead page for a video of a story that I hope would shake a show boaters’ ego to the core.)
( Talking with the Dead (2realmparanormalresearch.com )
I am a paranormal researcher. That means I literally study the paranormal. I study ghosts. That IS what it’s about. Yes, there are many parts of the paranormal and I do have research experience in most areas, but for me it’s all about the spirits. The main priority since the beginning of paranormal research has been about the dead. I am not “bitching about why people get into the paranormal”. I am, however, stating facts about what they are doing to a field of study that has made such a difference in this modern world. It absolutely is my business when my life’s work is damaged by these showboat people. And yeah, it can be fun and money making, but if that’s the only reason for them, its not research, its entertainment.
With that said, let’s go back to the beginning of paranormal research and look at some of the facts that have given me my beliefs. Once again, I am a researcher. That’s what I do. Research for facts.
We begin in 1882 when The Society for Psychical Research started. Their objective was, and still is, research as stated on their website:
“The Society for Psychical Research was set up in London in 1882, the first scientific organisation ever to examine claims of psychic and paranormal phenomena. We hold no corporate view about their existence or meaning; rather, our purpose is to gather information and foster understanding through research and education.”
This society was begun by physicists, psychologists, scholars, and philosophers. Not TikTok influencers and teams of TV hopefuls running around cemeteries screaming “DEMON”. This is a legitimate science so do the research right, and by right, I mean for the public, not the pocket, the thrill, or fame.
Yes, you read that right, the study of supernatural (paranormal) phenomenon has been studied scientifically since the 19th century. But, it has been studied spiritually since long before that. Indigenous people of the America’s, ancient Egyptians, etc. all had belief in the spirit world and wanted to learn about it.
The term “Parapsychology” became known in German by psychologist Max Dessoir in 1889, it was adopted into English by researcher J. B. Rhine, who established the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University in the 1930s. Parapsychology studies, however, go back to the 1700’s.
Fast forward to my personal favorite, Hans Holzer, author and parapsychologist who published his first book on the subject in 1963, with 119 more to follow all based on research. Hans was a breakthrough in my opinion. I feel that he opened the states up to accepting the paranormal less reluctantly, which was a huge step in opening our research.
I could continue on for hours with a list of well-known men and women throughout history who have studied the supernatural scientifically and paved the way for paranormal RESEARCH. These people were the ones who led this FIELD OF STUDY, to nearly being recognized as a true science. People like Harry Price.
Myself, I began researching the paranormal at the age of 13. I currently have 33 years under my belt, with experiences ranging from typical to extreme. My entire life has been a research project. It was never a thrill seek for me. It was for knowledge. Like ALL researchers, I want to understand. My research has been to help the living impaired first and foremost, and to aid the living in understanding. It has never been prioritized for me to just have fun. It was to find answers about what I was experiencing with the other side and the inhuman entities that have plagued my life, so I could provide that knowledge to those in need, not those thrill seeking. It was never and will never be just for me. Even my public events are all for charity or to teach new investigators while letting them experience for themselves with our guidance.
The objective of 2Realm is to carry on the research and to provide help in any way we can to the spirits and the living experiencing hauntings. It has never been about fame, money, views, clicks, subs, or popularity of any kind. The public figure status we have garnered has been built on our “real” reputation. It has been about scientific research and making a difference, proving that popularity and success in this field can be achieved without parlor tricks and faking evidence with overdramatized reactions.
As a RESEARCHER, I watch today’s teams and influencers going out and using the deceased, as well as the living dealing with them, to benefit themselves with the forementioned points of popularity. The only care these people have for these souls is adventure, fun, business, and social media influence. So no, in my opinion they are not doing it morally correct, and they aren’t caring about the souls (both living and dead) that they are affecting. If that’s their cup of tea, I hope they switch to coffee.
The community has lost the humanity in the paranormal. They have forgotten that these are human souls and not parlor tricks, and sorry, but not sorry, but that pisses me off!
I’m no expert in the field, no one is, and everyone has their methods of investigating and researching, but when humans (dead or alive) become a trick for a livestream or YouTube videos, TikTok views and a way into celebrity status, its unethical! If you wouldn’t do it to the living, don’t do it to the dead or the victims there of!
A lot of today’s investigators have made the paranormal all about the living, meaning those doing the investigating. They have missed the point of the research by miles. I’m not sorry that in that way I’m still back in time with the real researchers and true educators of the past. I give no apology for looking up to those that did this for knowledge, afterlife answers, and to help. If that’s wrong or offends anyone, I do not care. Do your research about what you are claiming. I have. I will not sway my opinions and beliefs on this subject, and I will not “shut up” when people on all realms are being treated poorly. We can have fun all we want. We can go out and ask for signs and have a great time with the thrills we receive and do it knowing these are actually in most cases human beings, but when the paranormal of today turns the research of those who fought for this field, paved it, and gave us the information to proceed with it, into a mockery, it damages and changes a field of study that didn’t need changed.
The research doesn’t stop with ghosts. In order to be a good researcher, you need to research the research. If my views on this are still an issue for you dear hater, or anyone else, I’m not exactly forcing your support. I do wish you well in your endeavors, and I hope you research the research and realize that ghosts aren’t usually having fun being stuck, lost, or tormented by their past. They aren’t exactly enjoying the places they loved being changed and the living forcing their way in. Most want to move on and people who use them for show boating, are keeping them captive and don’t tend to understand that or they just don’t care. This field is 100% about the living impaired and how we communicate with them.
So, forgive me haters, when I do not agree with what so many throughout the years, (myself included) have worked so hard for, is being turned into a shit show. Bash all you want, that shows your integrity, and lack of knowledge and compassion for this field. It shows a severe lack of respect for what has been built by those who gave us a way to learn and help. If you don’t like the way I see it, I didn’t choose the part you play.
Thank you 2Realm complainer.
"Astral Nightmare”
There could be someone standing in front of me right now as I type this. Someone watching my every move, my every click. Someone running their fingers across my face, while I think it’s merely a breeze. There could be someone in bed with me at night and watching me in the shower. Your first thought is that I’m talking about a haunting, right? You are dead wrong. I’m talking about the living. Scary thought, right?
I researched astral projection heavily after I found out a man was coming to me at night. (He literally admitted it to me.) In my research I realized quickly that my astral stalker was not the only one bringing perversion to the astral world. The things I read, the confessions I saw wrote with laughing emojis, turned my stomach and showed me that there are scarier things than a demon out there.
I saw stories of men and women projecting into homes and molesting the living, even raping the unknowing while they sleep. I saw stories of self-pleasure while watching the unknowing shower or change. I saw stories that also involved children. Are all of these stories true? I don’t know. But they terrify me for those who don’t understand this is a possibility. Astral projection may be fun, and it might even have a purpose, but it is also a pervert’s best friend.
I read a story from a metaphysics master who has helped me tremendously in the past. He teaches astral projection. He talked about his students confessing to him that they tried coming to him, but he wasn’t ever home. He laughed at them and told them he was home, but they would never get past his protection. That’s great for him but what about the unsuspecting and violated? What about the children?
Having been a victim of this sickness, I loath any class teaching these people how to do this. The teachers may mean well, but they don’t know if there is illness in someone’s mind. Why do people need to be taught how to invisibly travel into someone’s home? This is not OK! This is invasion! This behavior is a crime with no punishment and a perfect alibi. This horror of unseen watchers and touchers gives the victim no way of help. We sit in our world of silent unseeable assault and there is nothing we can do about it. Especially considering the twisted who use this ability for horror, think its ok to touch, watch, rape, and have sex with married strangers and believe its not cheating. They really feel it’s not molestation, and that it’s perfectly ok to do whatever they want to whoever they want, because the projector is not on the physical plane, they don’t care that victim is. They really think there are no consequences. Sad part is, there aren’t. Those they violate just have to deal with it.
We are living amongst psychic peeping toms and energy molesters, and so are the children.
There is no argument you can give to justify this knowledge being given freely to perverts. No amount of do gooders and virtuous reasons for this can make up for the immoral that comes with it. This is wrong and my mind cannot be changed! Leave these things to those who have a good purpose, not anybody who just wants to play with twisted terrible minds and horror reasons. This is not something that needs to be taught to just anybody.
(The meme to the side is a recreation, but the “good morning” text is not. He would text me every time I woke. It was a sick and twisted mind game to him. I only wish he would have come face to face the dark entities that also plagued my life during this time.)
"I can sense you, now can you light that up for me?”
Being a psychic medium, I am often asked,
“Why do you need equipment if you’re a medium?”
Well first, because I love tech! But it’s more for validation. It’s no lie that most people question our abilities. In all honesty, we are the only ones in the location seeing, hearing, sensing what we are getting. There is no real proof in what we do unless it’s for an individual and we have touched on something no one else would know. We have a tool on the toolbelt that is very personal, and I can’t blame someone for doubting it. But it is a little harder to be skeptical when you have equipment like ITC devices giving the same answers, or EMF confirming a presence on command, or what I like to do, have both going.
The 2Realm method is to always combine devices along with our gifts. In fact, the 2Realm method is to always have multiple ways of research happening at the same time, period. (I especially like to combine ITC, EMF, and trigger objects during an Estes session.)
The equipment is for research also. Filming, photographing, recording readings, and hearing transmitted responses are part of the research. I may be a medium, but my field of study is paranormal research. The entirety of the investigation is important to me, not just my psychic awareness.
So why do mediums use equipment? In short, validation and research.
"Provoking is for losers”
Provocation is one of the most infuriating things I can see investigators do. It’s also one of the dumbest! And what’s the point? What do you achieve by going into a location and tormenting the souls that dwell there? Unless you are testing the theory of how quickly you can piss off a ghost, there is no point. There are no answers coming from provocation. There is no research coming from getting into a ghosts invisible face. Not to mention, it’s pretty cowardice to pick on something you can’t see. Would you say the same trash talk and act the same way if you could see the person you’re being an ass too? I’m going out on a limb and say no, you wouldn’t.
Not only is provocation dangerous for you, but it’s also dangerous for everyone with you, and the location owner and staff. YOU go in thinking you’re some kind of ghost fighting badass that can go toe to toe with an apparition, and everyone pays for it. You get to leave and go back to the comfort of your life, but the anger you caused continues on for the people who live at the location, work there, and the next investigator that goes in. And why? Because you think you can take a ghost?
It’s also disrespectful to the dead! Imagine someone comes into your home, gets in your face, and starts running their mouth and insulting you. Do you like it? No! If you don’t want it done to you, why the heck are you doing it to them?
Now imagine the same situation as above, but it gets violent. Even the nicest people can be pushed to violence in certain circumstances, it’s no different when they are dead. You go in on some supernatural war path and push this spirit to their edge, then you freak out because you got scratched, pushed, or hit. Automatically it’s the spirit that’s violent and evil, but in reality, they just got sick of your BS! Most of us would probably smack you silly too!
If you think you’re a badass and want to fight a ghost, you deserve what you get. Just don’t take anyone with you, make sure no one lives or works at the location, and don’t come crying to serious researchers when you get your behind kicked or possessed!
In short, provocation is disrespectful, cruel, and just flat out STUPID!
"Drooling over numbers”
Sacrifice your friends for numbers. Sacrifice your morals for numbers. Sacrifice your money for numbers. Because numbers mean you are special. At least that’s what some people think. They throw their friends to the wolves because all they see is numbers. They give, give, give, to the social media number makers, and expect to receive, receive, receive, from those who don’t have the TikTok or YouTube niche. They constantly ask for money, then give it to the number makers. They look down on those whose followers are not in the hundreds of thousands. It doesn’t even matter that those with lesser value have supported them and been their friend.
I see so many people give their all to the paranormal community and give every penny to it too, going broke traveling from convention to convention, paying for tables, paying for gas, paying for hotels, paying for merchandise, etc. And these people are expected to pay nonstop for their friends every whim project. But their friend is paying for numbers to succeed, willing to fly “the numbers” all over the country, willing to pay for “the numbers” every need because of well, numbers.
When you have two people telling you their soapbox sob story and they are identical, and you choose to help the one with numbers and expect the one without the numbers to give to you, what kind of person are you?
When you base your admiration for someone on numbers, you have lost the ability to see humanity. You have hurt your friends. You have severed relationships. You have lost all credibility and respect. You have decided that rolling numbers are more important than people. Eventually that mindset will return karmatically.
When it comes to the paranormal, numbers don’t count. Numbers of investigations under your belt don’t matter. Numbers of years in the field don’t really matter either. Numbers of followers, viewers, and likes don’t matter. In the paranormal, it’s about quality not quantity and SO many have forgotten that. The dead don’t care how many followers you have. They don’t care that you’ve done 250 investigations in a year, or a live every day. They don’t care about numbers. They don’t care about time. They don’t talk to someone after checking to make sure their TikTok has enough followers, or their YouTube has enough subscribers. Sure, a high number of people on your page is cool to have, but not even Zak Bagans million plus followers communicate, watch, or buy. Maybe a couple hundred actually participate. It’s the same with every social media account holder and we all know it.
Numbers are numbers, people are people, friends are friends. When numbers trump people and friends, the person counting needs to reevaluate not only their priorities but their heart as well. Numbers only get you so far. When numbers turn into a priority, supporters start to leave. Those who have bought, donated, shared and liked everything from the beginning, start disappearing. That disappearance leaves you with a bunch of people who really don’t give a damn. If quantity is top on your list ask yourself, is the emptiness of digits worth it? Is putting your all into someone just because of their numbers, worth losing the supporters who helped you, gave to you, bent over backwards for you, and made you? I would say no. I personally would rather have the warmth of those who are willing to care, then an empty fame with the cold touch of numbers. But that’s just me. If you choose quantity over quality, and 15 minutes of fame is all you want, go ahead, enjoy the loneliness of the number lust.
"I'm Not a damsel buddy”
One of the most jaw dropping things I’ve heard during my paranormal journey is that investigators with physical ailments are a liability. WHAT? Oh yeah, you read that right! I have read interviews about casting shows, I have sat through conversations biting my tongue, and I have seen great investigators fear their injury or illness getting out and losing everything. To put it bluntly, that really pisses me off! Being in the public eye and having some stuff going on inside of me, I can tell you quite honestly, I am no liability!
We are being looked at like weaklings and damsels in distress, who may need the big tough healthy investigator to come to our rescue and save us. Ok, look here buddy! I am no damsel either! Show of hands, who read “Dark Side of the Apple”? Yeah, that’s my story and some of these people judging our abilities as investigators were some of the people I asked for help, and they looked the other way. That left little old frail me and my even frailer mom to go toe to toe with some pretty wicked negativity. This damsel is a warrioress who needs no saving. What I, and every other investigator that’s guilty of being a human being needs is to be treated equally and those we investigate with to have the team mentality.
Now let me tell you why we don’t need to be pampered, left out, looked at differently, or seen as a liability.
One, because many of these ailments came about after we started investigating. They were all in there brewing and we had no clue until one day, boom, there they are. Guess what, you probably have things brewing in you too that you don’t know. Just because an illness isn’t known by you, doesn’t mean its not known by them…
Two, for those that were born with an ailment, this is all they know. Because their body doesn’t work like yours, does not mean they are weaker! These People have adapted ways and techniques that the “normal” investigators haven’t thought of.
As for me, I know my body. I’m very attuned to the things happening to me. Because I am so attuned, I notice differences that a sneaky otherworldly could be causing and I change the situation. I am no more of a liability than the investigator who just hasn’t discovered an ailment.
The point: it’s not your responsibility to play the hero or babysit the person with the “problem”. No one is any less capable of investigating than you are. As a matter of fact, we are dealing with a lot of shit and we still have the strength to get out there and face the dead. Don’t treat us like we’re weak. We are overcomers. We are badasses on the constant. 24/7 warriors. Don’t you worry about us.
"Competition Anyone? None For Me Thanks!”
I can’t tell you how many paranormal competitions I’ve been in over the years. I can’t tell you because I didn’t realize I was in them until they became obvious. Investigators waging silent wars against 2Realm for goodness knows what. One minute we’re friends and the next we’re backstabbed and somehow public enemy number 1. But why? Why are we competing in the paranormal?
Let’s face it, millions of people die every year, a lot of them become ghosts. So, there are plenty of lost or stuck souls out there just waiting to either ignore you, or give you a spooky night. If we’re competing for ghosts, then we all win.
Is it location? There are thousands of haunted pay to play locations all over the world. If money allows us, we all have equal opportunities to investigate each one of them. There are also plenty of residences and businesses looking for help. We each have just as much of a chance of investigating them. I would say when it comes to location it’s more jealousy than competition. I mean, I’m pretty jealous of everyone who has investigated the Queen Mary, but not because I’m competing. I’m envious because I haven’t made it out to California to do it yet. It’s more of a “OMG, you’re so lucky!” than a “I must take you down!” So, it can’t be location.
Could it be evidence? If that’s it, I have got some news for you. You have just as much chance of catching the holy grail of paranormal as a 5-year-old playing with their mom’s phone and snapping a photograph. It’s not a competition because you can’t make the spirits do what they don’t want to do. It’s about luck in this case. A ghost will speak and show themselves on their time, not ours, and there is no amount of competition that will change that reality. Your years in the field, your equipment, your techniques, don’t have anything to do with it. This is a person that either wants to communicate or doesn’t. Just like the living. Your energy may have a bit to do with it, so maybe stop competing and just communicate.
Is it possibly the fame game? Yeah, probably! Knowing the people so they will promote. Knowing the people so they will push you. Knowing the people so you can ride their coat tails to a….TV SHOW and be the next Zak!
I can just hear them now, pissed beyond belief, yelling at the computer screen that they do not want a TV show, they do not want to be anything like Zak! How dare I say this about them! Oh, my goodness the hate coming my way is fierce! But agree or disagree with him there is one thing he has that every investigator pushing the limits for views and likes wants. His popularity. And with the popularity comes the money. I have had investigators look me in the face and say they hate everything about him, and they would turn down a TV show. Next day they copy him and talk about how cool it would be to be on TV. It’s human nature to want to be liked, and it is obviously a necessity to need money.
The point I’m getting to is that the only place competition belongs in the paranormal is in the TV ratings. You and me, we have no reason to compete. You have no reason to keep with the next team. We are all looking for ghosts and there are plenty of them. 2Realm refuses to compete with anyone. We have no reason to wish you less. We want you to do good. If you do good, the research does good. WE ARE NOT DOING IT. No matter how many competitions we are unknowingly placed in, we will not do it! Unless of course our show comes through, then we’re taking that number 1 ratings spot from a certain demon magnet, LOL!
Just go be the best you. Compete with yourself to be better each day. Leave the competition for the networks.
“CUT! Dead People Aren’t Movie Props!” (What Happened to the Paranormal? Part 2)
Let’s get something straight, the paranormal field is not a prop for fame seekers! This has been driving me crazy for a while and I have to voice my feelings about it.
Let’s first explain what the field of paranormal is supposed to be.
Paranormal research was intended to find answers to afterlife questions. It was to understand ghosts. It grew into helping those with hauntings. It was to help. It was on its way to being a legitimate field of scientific study. Most of us who fought our way to credibility and no longer being considered insane, did so because we have a genuine interest in understanding why and how, or because we have had experiences. Those that are here for the research didn’t throw our names in the ring of public ridicule to be famous. We did it for much more, and if fame came from that for some, fantastic. Those famous people can use their names to help others understand. Some of my most respected friends are famous for their part in the field. No matter what, however, it’s supposed to be for answers. It’s serious with a side of fun and adventure.
And then there are the others.
There are times I feel like I’m watching a B movie, and my field of study is some ridiculous prop or punchline. I mean if you’re going to fiction up the research at least make the plotline good. There is no such thing as ethics when in comes to these “actors”. Morals went right out the door, along with the understanding that they are screwing with human souls and people’s lives. It’s all the fame game to these fakes. These are the kind of people who would see a person dying and grab the camera first to film themselves helping.
I will never forget watching an interview with one of these people and they were asked what their favorite piece of investigative equipment was. The answer was, “the thing that plays the radio and ghosts talk with it.” The host was stunned. The rest of the interview sounded about the same and this person politician-ed their way through every pseudo answer that made no sense. This person then went out later in the month and “investigated” in the name of fame, treating the whole place like a movie set and each lost soul like a prop. To say I was pissed off would be putting it mildly. To say I was heartbroken for the human spirits there, would be correct. This my friends, is not what the paranormal was intended to be.
Views, likes, subscriptions, etc. are great, but if that’s the only thing you are looking for, reevaluate. If these people you play with like props were alive, would you still do this nonsense? If not, then why are you doing it with the dead?
There is an entertainment point to this field that consists of TV, books, documentaries, merchandising, and pay to play. There are even movies. But we know these are entertaining with the truth. Every word in my books is truth, unless marketed otherwise. But to walk in a place claiming you are an investigator and then toy with souls, is horrid and immoral. You lied. Plain and simple, you claimed to be something you are not and toyed with the living too. Not to mention you unknowingly, (because you really don’t understand it,) put yourself and anyone with you in danger with your parlor tricks. Not every spirit is going to just go away from your horrible energy. There are those who will accept your challenge and make you regret walking through the door. And then there are those souls and not so human things that will make your life a living hell. And why? Because you wanted to play horror movie.
The moral of this is simple. You aren’t going into a place and playing with props like a haunted house attraction. These are real human souls. These are real demons and negative entities that will fight back. It’s not a movie. The blatant disrespect for the dead, the living, the history, and the field, are not ok. And unfortunately, being the good people we are, we‘re worried about your fakery getting you hurt or hurting others. But trust one thing para-actors, when you play with the props too much and they play back, you will learn your lesson. And while you cry in the corner having forgotten all about your fun, the real paranormal researchers will be the numbers on your speed dial.
“What Happened to the Paranormal?” (Part 1)
Sometimes it’s downright depressing to turn on my social media. I’m overwhelmed with debates, arguments, slander, fakery, and competition. I’m bombarded by mislabeling. I’m angered by the childish petty insults and belittling. I could spend hours going off about all of the above and believe me I will get to all of it, but in this article, I’m covering the grown-up children who like to treat others shitty.
I don’t care what the subject matter is or how ridiculous the evidence presented is, there is NO reason to dumb down to bully behavior and tear some unsuspecting newbie a new one because you are bitter about whatever.
There was a time when you, (the gods and goddesses of the paranormal), didn’t know one single thing about what is being presented to you. So, your holier-than-thou(ness), time travel back to those days before you became everything to yourself. Go back to your very first dust bunny or pareidolia moment when you thought you had the most badass evidence ever and wanted to get opinions from your peers or so-called experts. You were so excited, you were eager to learn, you wanted to know everything you could about ghosts. You send that pic to someone with more time in the field and…they laugh. They call your pic stupid, fake, they make fun of you, they tear your confidence down, and treat you like you are just the dumbest person on the planet. They insult your very existence. You feel like you got punched in the gut and have no idea why. Your excitement is now dead. Your confidence just crossed the light, and you feel like it’s not coming back, EVER. Was that really necessary of them? I mean, you didn’t know. This was your first attempt. Hurts bad right? Yeah, it does. Kind of like a school yard bully beating you up and taking your lunch money. Complete humiliation!
How could this be handled differently by these grown-up bullies? Well, I’m no expert in the paranormal, because NO ONE IS! But I am an expert in being a decent human being. So, allow me a moment to educate your godliness.
None of us knew anything when we began our interest in the paranormal. NO ONE KNEW! Don’t lie and say you did. No one knew what the hell we were looking at when we examined our first piece of evidence from our first investigation. We learned from experience and from the veterans who learned the hard way. It is literally our duty as the more knowledgeable on the subject, to teach the newcomers what we know and to encourage them to learn more and continue that interest. Verbal destruction is not teaching! Being a sarcastic smartass isn’t teaching them either! What you should do is talk to them like an adult. Tell them why it’s mundane and how to know next time. Teach them! Be patient.
I have seen people leave the paranormal because of this little kid behavior. I’ve seen people refuse to ever ask a question or post for advice ever again because of this ridiculousness. What did you accomplish by being a dick to someone who just didn’t know? What kind of character have you now painted yourself as to everyone who read your attempt at humor or godliness? I know 4-year-olds with more maturity and etiquette. You call the people you put down stupid, but who looks like a horrible human being in this situation? Answer: YOU!
So dear wannabe experts and para-gods,
Grow up and get some manners. Your stupider than stupid, and meaner than mean comments have made us give more respect and belief to the newbies stuff than yours. I mean come on, anyone that acts like that clearly sucks at everything because look how much they suck as human beings.
To the newcomers, please don’t give these middle-aged brats a second thought. The rest of us want to teach you. We want to help you understand what you caught. We want you to be part of our community of adult investigators and researchers. We respect you. We want to know your story. We want you to help us find answers. We graduated with PhD’s in decency. The others are still falling off the jungle gym at recess. 2Realm will always be here to answer your questions and help you understand. You can count on us to reply to your inquiries with compassion and education. Welcome to the real paranormal community.
Para-brats, please leave. The adults are researching.
