Need Help Now Please!Dear Brian, Boy I had a hard time trying to get onto this website for some strange reason and I don't know why. I tried my old pass and that wouldn't work and then they sent me a new pass yesterday and that wouldn't work either. So they sent me a new one today and I guess that worked finally but it was hard to get here. I don't know how to get onto my last page where I wrote to you. How do I get to it? My son is now living with me for a little while which he is age 31. He is sleeping in my old bedroom becasue of what I told you before I refuse to sleep in there. He told me today that last night when he was about to drift off to sleep something touched his head! Now his hair is too short for the wind to blow it so it is not that. I bet anything it is still that spirit of a woman that I saw about two or three years ago and she never left even with the help of my part native american friend when she came here to do a cleansing with white sage. Can you contact Jennifer to see if she has found someone to come here to do a cleansing and if not then I have no choice but to have another team come here to do an investigation because there is something here even though Jennifer didn't feel that there was. I know I am a very senisitive person who has feelings when it comes to spirits. The reason why I know this is because of the other places where I used to live also had spirits. Let me know if you can help me. I hope so. Also is there any way to change my password back to what it was before? Thanks Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Thanks Brian for all of your help!Dear Brian, I hope you can find someone else to see if there is something here. There must be for all the noises that I hear and plus something that touched my son's hair which I told you that his hair is too short for the wind to be blowing it. Also I have heard noises like someone knocking on my door in the wee hours of the morning and when I go to the door and ask who is it no one asnwers. I don't think soemone is going to be knocking on my door in the wee hours of the morning for nothing. This is like about 3 in the morning. I don't know if a spirit would do that just to get attention or not. I am sorry to say but I think Jennifer and Jeff or whatever his name is really didn't believe me when I told them about what was going on here. Now the attitude that they had the ghost hunters would not treat someone like that! They would not tell you will there is no sense to do an investigation either. The guy that was with Jennifer asked me if I take drugs or on any medicaton. I thought that was personal and insulting. I told him I take amedication for my diabetes only and he asked me if it makes me see things that aren't there! I said no I didn't like that answer and maybe some people ask questions like that but I didn't think it was appropate! I don't know if you ask questions like that or not. I bet Jason and Grant don't ask questions like that and I bet Brian don't do that either! He said that he has his own group now but not sure if it the one he goes on when he goes abroad or does he do it in his home town. Hope to hear from you soon. There is another paranormal group of new england where a guy named Mike Dion works for and he also works for Jason and grant sometimes. What group is that do you know? Thanks again Nance timetraveler122@aol.com |

We as investigators have to ask those questions in order to determine if the haunting is real or made up. As you will see below, here is a questioneer that we give all of our clients.....
- TENNESSEE SPIRITS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS - INVESTIGATION QUESTIONAIRE Case #: Date: Client Name: Address: City, State & Zip: Contact Phone Numbers: Email: Please answer all questions, write in ‘DNA’ on ones that do not apply to you. Try to answer in detail the best you can and please carefully read and answer each question. PART I - INITIAL QUESTIONS (to help determine whether an investigation is warranted) Please give a general description of the occurrences. Please list the names and ages of all those living/working in the situation where the disturbances have taken place. Please list the relationships of all those in the household/business to one another. (their place in the family relation to everyone else; positions in the business and who works with whom; etc.) Are there any pets? (If so, list types.) What are the occupations of those in the location who are or have been working? Please give educational background of all those in the location. Where have the occurrences taken place? Address and specific locations within the premises, please. Describe the premises, please. How long have you lived/worked there? Any disturbances noted at previous addresses? When did the current disturbances begin? What sorts of things went on at the beginning? What did you think of them? When was the most recent incident? Would you say the occurrences are frequent? Are they occurring with any apparent regularity? Have the disturbances been increasing in frequency and severity since they first began? Who are those people directly involved? What did they experience? Any witnesses from outside the household/office? Please give their names, occupations, and phone numbers. What did they experience, as far as you know? Is there a pattern of any kind to these disturbances that you've noticed (i.e., when the events occurred, what sorts of objects were affected, what locations were involved, who was around at the time, etc.)? Have you looked for ordinary, normal explanations? What makes you sure the events are paranormal? Have you or any of the others involved had any psychic experiences in the past? Have you (or anyone else who witnessed the events) been interested in psychic phenomena for a while? Has your family discussed psychic phenomena in the past? If so, in what context? Does anyone involved have a theory as to what may be going on? Have you contacted any "experts"? (such as, obviously, a parapsychologist, or psychologist, police, priest, rabbi, psychic, etc.) If so, what did/do they have to say? What kinds of books or articles have you read about psychic phenomena or the occult/supernatural/unsolved mysteries? Have you seen films like Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Entity, The Amityville Horror, Dreamscape, Resurrection, The Exorcist, The Fury, Carrie, etc.? Which ones? (Name ones that more so may compare to your experiences) What did you think of them (in terms of how they portrayed psychic experiences/disturbances)? How about others involved? Reading? Films? TV shows? What are your feelings/beliefs regarding psychic phenomena or the spiritual world? Religious background (both family and your present religious status)? Have you ever taken any courses on parapsychology, the occult, or any self-development or psychic-development courses? The others? Have you or any of the others ever been to see a psychic? Have you or anyone else within the home/business used any device such as an Ouija Board, Scrying Mirror, Tarot Cards or other such devices on the premises or elsewhere? (If so, please list each and when & where last used.) Have any séances or rituals been performed in the home/business or on the associated property that you are aware of? (If so, please explain.) Has there been any publicity of these events? In other words, has the press found out about what's going on? If so, which members of the media, and how can we contact them? If not, can you be sure there won't be any publicity (can you keep this quiet... the press tends to disrupt investigations)? What would you like done to help you? Would you allow me and perhaps some colleagues to do a serious investigation of the occurrences in your home/office? PART II - Who/What/When/Where/How (These questions will help us narrow down the general patterning of the disturbances/experiences). Have you connected the disturbances with any particular people witnessing or living/working in the location? With any particular visitors? If there is an apparition seen, does the apparition represent anyone identifiable (does anyone know "who" the apparition represents)? Are there particular activities going on when the incidents occur (such as eating, watching TV, arguments, etc.)? Explain. Are there certain times during the day or night when the incidents appear to be more frequent? If so, when are they? Are the events seen to occur more in one spot (or in more than one place) than in others (certain rooms or parts of the room)? Where are these places? Are certain people seemingly more affected than others? Who? What reactions do the people in the situation have when confronted by one of the disturbances? Do all witnesses to the events have to be around for anything to happen? If not, give examples of such incidents where not everyone was around, and who was there. Have any disturbances been noted to have occurred when no one was around (i.e., has anyone noted the aftereffects of a disturbance that may have occurred with no witnesses, perhaps by objects having been moved)? Has any one person appeared to be very close to the starting points of moving objects? Do you think there's any chance that that person could have physically thrown or pushed the objects to simulate a paranormal event? Is there any reason to think that someone in the home/office might fake the events? Have you thought about normal explanations for some or all of the events? Have you taken note of outside sounds, vibrations, etc. (such as a truck rumbling down the street) when the occurrences happen? PART III - The Phenomena (These questions will help us get a good picture of the actual goings-on.) Please describe the disturbances/experiences in terms of what you actually observed. (Note: this should be asked of everyone involved, both in separate interviews and later in the presence of all witnesses.) Were there any unusual feelings or emotions associated with the disturbances/experiences? How often do they occur? Who first noticed them? When were they first noticed? Under what circumstances? Please describe the experiences/observations of the others to the best of your knowledge. In terms of movement of objects, describe the movements and what was unusual about them. Did objects seemingly take flight or visibly move by themselves? Were there unusual flight patterns (in other words, did they move like someone had pushed or thrown them, or did they make unusual curves in the air or on a surface, such as making right-angle turns)? Could someone have been near enough to an object to move, push, or throw it, either purposely or by accident? Did objects hit their final resting point with unusual force? Did they make unusually loud noises when they struck something? Were breakable objects seen to move and strike something without breaking? Were heavier objects seen to move or rearrange themselves (such as furniture being piled up, especially in such a way that one person could not have done it)? Describe, please. Were these objects seen in motion, or were they simply discovered in rearranged fashion after they had been moved? Has anyone seen an object start its motion? In other words, have there been any witnesses to an object disturbance beginning with the point just before it took flight or began to move? What were the objects affected? Any particular kind of object affected more than others? Any particular single objects affected more than others? If yes to either one, are there any relationships between the object(s) and any of the people in the household/office? Have you noticed any metal objects particularly affected? Bent silverware, for example? If yes, are you certain no one could have had access to the pieces and bent them normally? Any chance that the pieces of metal/ silverware could have already been bent through normal use (and that you simply never noticed the bends)? Have there been any unusual electrically related effects? Have appliances, TVs, stereos, lights, or computers been affected? If so, to what extent and how frequently? When any particular person(s) were around? If certain persons were associated with the appliances/ devices, what are their attitudes towards the function of those devices (i.e., if a vacuum cleaner, does the person hate housework? If a computer, does the person dislike computers)? Have mere been any occurrences of unusual noises? Have these sounds been found to have a cause connected with them, or have they occurred with no seeming cause? Describe the sounds and why you think them unusual. Have any of the sounds been connected in any way with the movement/disturbance of physical objects? When the others who have witnessed the events had their first experiences, were they aware of previous encounters or observations or experiences by those who first noticed them? What did they know about them, if anything? Have there been instances where one or more persons saw an apparition (ghost)? If yes, please describe what was seen. If nothing was seen, yet you (and others) are sure there is something there (a presence or "entity" or "force"), what makes you so sure? Have voices been heard, either with or without the appearance of an apparitional form? Were attempts made to see if the voices had a (living or mechanical) source? Have unusual smells been noticed? What was unusual about them? Have they appeared at only certain times or only in certain areas? Have they been localized, yet mobile (confined to a specific area in the air, yet that area has been observed to move about)? Were attempts made to find a natural source of the smell? Who has been around in each instance of a visual apparition? Of voices? Of unusual smells? Have you or anyone else gotten unusual feelings in a particular place or at particular times (example, do you sense a "presence" or get "cold chills" under certain conditions/in certain locations)? Has the temperature of the location been affected unusually? Have normal causes been looked at as being behind such effects? Have there been times when apparitions/ghosts, smells, voices, footsteps, or odd noises have been experienced by only some of the people (or just one person) and not by others at the same time? Please describe these instances. Have the images been associated with particular people or events? Have they been associated with particular people who are witnesses to the events or whom you know (example, maybe the ghost is that of your Uncle Harry from Cincinnati)? Were these images connected with the past (the past of the people present or of the house) or with the present (could the images represent living persons or current/future events)? How about the noises or the smells (if present)? Could they be connected with persons not present (living or dead)? Or can they be connected with the house or building (past or present)? Did the witnesses who had the experience of seeing hearing a ghost know about that person (whom the ghost represents) before the experience? In the case of images seen, did everyone who saw something see the exact same thing, or were there the kinds of differences one would expect if the apparition had been a living person, there in the flesh? (In other words, if one person stood in front of where the apparition appeared, and another behind it, did the people see the figure from the proper perspective [front and back] or not?) Describe the behavior of the apparition(s). Does the apparition repeat the same activity every time it appears? Or does it seem as if it is aware of your presence as well? Is there attempted communication on the part of the apparition? Have you or anyone else who has experienced the apparition tried to communicate with it? Any results (like communications back, reactions on the part of the apparition, changes in behavior of the phenomena, etc.)? Would you say the apparition seems to be one that is conscious or aware of its surroundings, that it is an intelligent "entity"? If not, would you say that the experience may represent a past event repeating itself like a video "instant-replay"? What is known about the house/building? Year Built? Previous owners/tenets? History of the location it stands on? How did you feel just before the experience(s) (physically, mentally, and emotionally)? Any common factors between each of the experiences? How did you feel while the experience was actually happening? How did you feel/react after the experience(s) was completed? Did you discuss the experiences with anyone (witness or not) just after it happened? Describe the discussions. (The above questions should give a fairly complete picture of the phenomenon itself, what may be going on, paranormally or otherwise. Keep in mind that all witnesses and others connected should be asked their opinions and given the chance to answer all relevant questions, so as to help form that complete picture). PART IV - Interactions and Symbols Do you see the events as representing any emotions or tensions that you or others may have at the moment? Have there been any changes in the daily routine/ lives of the people involved (such as new job, new school, divorce, marriage, death of relative or friend, etc.)? If so, what are they? When did they happen in relation to the disturbances? Do you see the way the disturbances/experiences are happening as being symbolic of anyone's emotional state or thought processes? Are the events perhaps symbolic of any problems that may be going on between people in the affected group (here, not just direct witnesses, but all those with relationship to the people having the experiences)? If you were to pretend this were all happening in a dream, what would you make of it (the "dream," that is)? Are there any visible problems between the people having the experiences and anyone else? Is anyone particularly tense or frustrated or under some stress? What do you think this may be related to (job, friendships, housework, sexual relationships, school, lack of leisure time, etc.)? Have you or anyone else in the home/business experienced sleeping difficulties and/or unusual dreams/nightmares? (If so, please explain.) What would you say your overall health (both physical and mental) was before the experiences began? What would you say your overall health (both physical and mental) has been since the disturbances started? Are you taking any medication or non-prescription drugs? What are they? Are you drinking alcohol, drinks with caffeine, or taking in a lot of sugar, or smoking tobacco? Which one(s), and how much? Have you ever had a ‘bad trip’ on taking a hallucinogenic drug like LSD? IF so describe the experience. Was there any change in your diet or use of the above substances before the initial experiences? Has there been any change in your diet or use of the above substances since the disturbances began? Are you or any of the others currently under the care of a doctor or psychological counselor/therapist? Do you practice: yoga, meditation, self-hypnosis, biofeedback, relaxation exercises, or physical exercises? Would you be willing to work on any social, psychological, or physical problems that may be related to the incidence of the disturbances? Would you be willing to see a counselor, therapist, or doctor if that is the most positive way to help deal with the experiences? Your Privacy Is Important to us!

Dear Brian, How and when do you have the time to ask all of those questions when you are doing an investigation? What about Mike Dion he works for a paranormal group other than helping out Jason and Grant sometimes? If you couldn't find anyone than thanks anyway. Sincerely Nance timetraveler122@aol.com |
| TNSpirits Brian |
We ask those questions during a prelimenary meeting with the client, before the investigation. I havent given up on you, im still looking.
Nance, please email TAPS, I con not, I do not have the information need to fulfill the case request, ive listed everything you need to request help unless you want to give me all your info i.e. full name, address, city , state, zip code, phone number. If you wish to give me all your info, ill be happy to contact them for you. Thanks Brian |

Yea Call Taps!Hi Brian, Sorry I haven't gotten back to sooner but have been sick and just read my mail today. Yes, it would probably be easier for you to contact taps instead of me. Don't know if they can come because they maybe too busy or on vacation now since they are not on the tv. If for some reason that they can't do it maybe they can recomend someone instead. My real name is Nancy but I like the name Nance instead. Nancy Monroe 21 Highgate Drive apt. 73 Barre,Vermont 05641 (802)-479-0097. There has been snapping and tapping noises in the livingroom where I sleep. I have heard which sounded like someone knocking on my door in the wee hours of the morning but there was no one there and no one around ,everyone is home and asleep I also heard the cupboard opening one afternoon and my cat was asleep in the livingroom window. My son who now is staying with me works during the day and that night when he was about to fall off to sleep he said" it felt like someone or someting touching his hair and his hair is too short for the wind to blow it. His hair is like a butch cut. I saw a spirit of a woman in that bedroom about four years ago and I thought maybe she had left but I guess she didnt' and I haven't slept in there since and never will even when my son wasn't even here. When my son and his ex stayed here with their two kids before they got their own place one morning the mom woke up before the kids did and she noticed her daughter was all tied up with the extension cord. Both her hands and feet were tied and she didn't do it herself and her brother was only about 4 so it is for sure he didn't do it so someone or something did it. I hope this is all you need for information and if not just let me know. I hope this isn't too much for you to remember. Thanks again. Nance timetravler122@aol.com |
| TNSpirits Brian |
Thank you Nance, Ill get on it right away... |
| Nance318 |
I Hope You Can Get Them!Hi Brian, Thanks I appreciate it that you can contact taps better than me cause I really wouldn't know what to say. I don't want to sound like I am crazy or don't know what I am talking about. You probably have better choice of words than me, after all you live in a big city where as I live in a small town that a lot of people say is a hick town just because they are used to big huge cities. But is isn't a hick town. Heck the town near where I live is called and it is called Montpelier which is the capitol of my state. If taps people do show up I hope that they don't think I am nuts just like Jennifer and Tom did otherwise they would have done an investigation. I have never heard Jason or Grant say to someone well since you strongly beieve that there is something here there is no reason to do an investigation plus I don't feel anything here. That made me feel awful and to me that is like saying I don't believe you etc. I know what I saw a few years ago and have had different experiences in three places that I have lived in so I should know that it is not all in my head plus my son is not crazy either. He is a very smart person and knows when something is real and not. I just wanted to clearify that. When it comes to something like this I don't lie or make up stuff. Maybe you can also tell whom ever you talk to that if they do find something that they can have that guy I don't remember his name but he does blessing and works with jason and grant somethings. Like I said if they can't come ask them to recomend someone as long it isn't Jennifer! Thanks again Nance timetraveler122@aol.com There must be some other groups that can come if taps can't I know that there are other groups that are in the New England Paranormal Society somewhere. Good Luck

Ive sent your info, waiting for a reply, please be patient, it may take a few days to hear back from them. |
| Nance318 |
I Will Be Waiting to Hear!Dear Brian, I have a few questions for ya, what does this mean is is a question that you would ask someone before an investigation. "Are there any visable problems between the people having the experiences and anyone else? What do you mean by visable problems? Also why would you ask someone if they would be willing to see a counseler or a physcologist? Do you think that the spirit problem is all in their head or that they maybe seeing things etc? I could see like if they thought someone was drinking or doing drugs. Like one show I saw of ghost hunters the woman who lived in the house told the jason and grant that the spirit lived in the closet and that when jason was sitting in the living room the woman sat down in there too and told him that the spirits were all around her. I know that she is not suppose to interact with jason when he is doing his stuff but she did. I would just go outside and wait or just sit in the kitchen or something like that but not do what she did. That to me is like telling jason what to do or where to do his thing. Thanks Nance timetraveler122@aol.com Ps. did you memtion that someone else came to my home but didn't do any investigation? Can you tell me in a short message what you told them? |
| TNSpirits Brian |
Visible problems refering to possible drug use, people who abuse drugs sometimes have visible symptoms, this could mean that they possibly are imagining things. And the couseling question is something we ask if we fear that they may have mental issues that they are unaware of and we would like to get them help.
I sent TAPS an email with just your info and a brief message of what you encounter, I told them about the knocking and your sons hair being pulled and I said your in dire need for some help. Here is the reply I got from them quote from them "We really need to hear from the occupant. We do not accept 2nd party emails" end quote. This means that they need YOU to email them your info and tell them what is happening. This upsets me a little because im trying to help too and TAPS wont except my case. They would like you to email them all your info and ill write down exactly what they need so you can... here we go..... CASE REQUESTS In order to facilitate the processing of your request, we ask that you obey the following proceedure. Otherwise we cannot guarantee that your request will be processed. 1. In the SUBJECT LINE of the email, please include the CITY and STATE of the location that needs to be investigated. 2. Address: Include the full address of the location that needs to be investigated. 3. Type of Establishment: RESIDENCE (Personal residence, residence of a friend or relative) or COMMERCIAL (Church, restaurant, hotel, etc) 4. Request Type: Is the request for you personally, for a friend or relative, or just a general suggestion for an investigation. 5. Contact Info: The name of the owners of the location, their email address and phone number. 6. Relationship: Your relationship to the location. (Owner, patron, etc.) 7. Duration: How long has the activity been going on and what type? 8. Frequency: How often does the activity occur and what is the most recent activity? Please describe. Once you have this information ready, please email it to: casemanager@the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com This is the info they need. Im sorry all these groups are being so difficult to deal with, I would have never guessed they would give people so much trouble to get help. I hope you hear from them. Thanks again, Brian Henry |
| Nance318 |
Thanks for Your Help Anyway!Dear Brian, I am sorry that they need to hear from me instead of you. I know that you tried to help and I appreciate that very much. I have three questions for you. One is Why would taps need the name of the owner and address and phone number. They have nothing to do with what is going on in my apt. which there are other apartments up here that are haunted as well. If they contact the manager of the place that I live in then they will think I am crazy. Taps doesn't have to get permission from the manager who runs this place to come to my apt. The manager doesn't know what is going on in my apt cause I haven't said anything to her. When they ask what type of activity does that refer to what type of haunting because if it does I wouldn't know I really don't know what that mean what type of acitivity? Also I would like to know who is Paula she called me the other day? Who is she? I couldn't understand what she was saying cause she talked to fast. She left me a message on my machine. She told me to call her which the area code is 512. I looked in the phone book and it says 512 is in Texas. Is that where she is from? She said you contacted her about me. I have a cell phone but not sure if I can call Texas without being charged for it. Can you help me. Thanks again. will be waiting to hear from you. I also wrote to Brian Harnois but I guess he doesn't read his own email because I haven't heard back from him either. Boy on the television is looks easy for people to contact Taps but I guess not now. Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |
| TNSpirits Brian |
The title "owner" was refering to you, not that you own the apartment, but owner is refering to the person that lives there, please understand that not many apartments get investigated because not many are haunted so they use owner for such places as houses or businesses, they do not need to ask the manager, they just want YOUR name, phone number and email to contact you.
The activity is refering to whats been going on...i.e. knocking and such. Paula is our director and case manager for TNSpirits. She was from Texas but lives here in Tennessee now. Brian rarely checks his email, he gets thousands a day so he cant keep up. Taps have several people who checks emails and when I emailed them they got back to me the same day. So go ahead and email them your info and they will either call you ar email you to get more detail on the activity that has been happening. Thanks Brian |
| Nance318 |
Thanks BrianHi Again Brian, I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help. I will let you know what has happened and if I hear from taps. Good luck with your work and please tell your director that I can't call her cause it is a Texas number. I can't call from my home phone with that number I don't have a long distance caller. How was she going to help me? Doesn't Brian have help with reading his emails? I can go on to Brian's my space but when I click on the email him it just sends me to where you are suppose to sign in and that part of the website doesn't work so I can't email him from there and so I chose the one from Dude Run website to email him from. If you ever run into him please tell him to read more of his emails. ok. Well thanks again. Sincerely Nance timetraveler122@aol.com |
| TNSpirits Brian |
She was just going to explain to you what TAPS said to us, that we cant email them that you need too. Im sure you will hear from them real soon, please let me know what they can do for you.
Thanks Brian |
