Wax Dummies??Dear Brian, I was watching an old ghost hunters show, that is the only way right now that I can see my guy brian , they were in the hell fire caves in England, my question is How in the world can wax dummies give off heat when the caves are kind of cold? Do you know if Donna, Brian,Robb & Shannon have left to start their new shows yet? Do the spirits see the gost hunters, hear them or see the infor red light and that is what sets them off do you know? I see that this year the ghost hunters seem to be going to places that have more a chance to be haunted like Inns or jails instead of people's homes. It seems like a waste when they go to a house and it is not really haunted or maybe it is but is isn't showing anything. I think that sometimes people just think that there house is haunted just because they hear a noise or whatever. I have been told that all houses make a noise at night because the house is settling down. Now is that really true? Thanks for your answers. Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Wax does hold heat alot longer than floors or walls, its a natural conductor of heat. Same principle as concrete holding heat at night. Yes, they all left 2 weeks ago to start filming, it will be this fall or winter before new episodes come out. Intelligent spirits do see them and hear them and see the equipment, as far as the infra red light, no one knows, infra red is unseen to the naked eye. yes, houses settle all the time, day and night and people do think its paranormal activity.
Nance, thanks for the questions. |

Still Wax Dummies!Dear Brian, Where would the heat come from in the first place for the wax dummies to get this heat? When the ghost hunters went down in the hell fire caves they said it was pretty cold there so cold that they could see their breath. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. I don't know if you can help me with this one and if not that is ok. There is a website called "Dude Run" which is suppose to be a website that someone made for Brian Harnois. There is a email address on it where you can wite to Brian for whatever but I have never ever gotten a reply. I bet he doesn't even know it is there. My questions is can someone put information on a website about that certain person without their permission? Would you know by any chance where I could write to lhim? Please send a memo to my email address so I will know that there is a reply to this formum. Thank you Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com ps. I had a thought is it possible for spirits to want to help a person instead of trying to scare them?? |

Re: Still Wax Dummies!
Nance, I am the administrator of Duderun.com, I helped get it started, it IS the official website of Brian Harnois, he contributed alot on what he wanted on it, it was created as a secondary page for his chat room, he does come on it when time allows, but he does not check that email, the best way to contact him is thru his myspace page, but when he's out of town he turns off the messages. As far as wax goes, pick up a candle and feel it, its typically warmer than the surrounding temp, it doesnt get very cold, wax retains 3- 10 degrees warmer temps than the ambient air, why? I dont really know, but a matter od 2 degress will show a warm signature on the Infrared camera. I hope this helped a little bit, sorry I couldnt go into more detail as to why wax holds heat more, I just dont know. |

Are Spirits Helpful?Thank you for your reply and your asnwers. It makes more sense now about the wax dummies. I guess you missed my other question which was: Do you know if spirits want to help people instead of scaring them? My friend is part native american and she said that she thinks that some spirits may try to help the person who is living in their house instead of scaring them. This apt that I live in had a spirit when I first moved in here. It wasn't until about two months into living here when the truble started. I had an ex-boyfirend who used to come up here wake me up about 7am each morning to have coffee with him and he used to wake me up by hitting me on the rump lightly. When he stopped coming around the spirit that was here(which then I didn't know there was one here) She woke me up in the same manner that my ex-boyfiend did except she hit me on my thigh and it hurt. To this day I still don't know why she did it and why did she wait so long to do so? I actually saw her and it scared me so much so that when they were doing the rebuilding of the apts I didn't want to move back afterwards but did. She also scared my son when he was staying with me. What she did doesn't make sense. He heard noises in the bedroom when I was not there. The other thing she did was when my grand kids were sleep she tied my granddaughter up with the lamp cord. Why I don't know do you? Her hands and feet were both tired up and it scared my son and his girlfriend when they saw their little girl all tied up. This was nothing my granddaughter could have done because she was sleep at the time. Would you have any explaination as to why this happened? I was scared to stay alone in this apt. so I had my native american do a cleansing with white sage which didn't worko she had her friend come in who is a Wicca witch and she did a cleansing. I think it may have worked but not totally sure cause I still hear noises at night in my living room. My friend thought that maybe she was here for a reason but I can't figure out why? Sorry this is so long but this has been on my mind for a very long time. I hope you can help me by answering my questions. Thank you for your help. Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

It depends on the spirits persona during death, some spirits will want to scare you because they are mad that they died, some will want to help you, it just depends on the spirit, theres no way of telling. The cleansing your refering too is called "smudging", we have to be smudged before and after every investigation, its worked for us so far....thanks for the questions... | ||

Demonic Spirits!!Thanks for your answers once again. Do you know if Demonic spirts can harm humans? My son wants to know if you can answer this question and if not maybe you would know who would. It is about the lighthouse inn that the ghost hunters went to last year they never finished it so no one found out if the place was haunted or not. There was only about 10 minutes of the show and then it ended for some strange reason. Thanks Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Demonic spirits can harm you and or possess you, demons are not to be messed with, they are very bad... I dont recall the GH show your refering too, I must have missed that one. | ||

Spirts were once human too!Dear Brian, So spirits are nothing but a bunch of energy? I didn't really know that. I thought that they were nothing but proto plasam or something like that. Grant was saying tonight that in order for them to show themself they have to get some energy like from draining batteries from whatever is handy. Does that also apply to the shadow people? Does anyone actually know why only sometimes spirits show themselves? A lot of people think that spirts are sometimes family members trying to communicate with them,but I am wondering if maybe they might just be a part of the devils demons acting as family members. Would you know if this is possible? My last question is : do you know if either the ghost hunters(taps) or the ghost hunters international are looking for more inventigators? Thank you for answering my questions. Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Re: Spirts were once human too!
Spirits are energy, the only way they can manifest, to our knowledge is to use whatever energy is available, as far as shadow people go, we know very little about them....heres whatwe know so far,Shadow people are said to be shadow like creatures of supernatural origin that appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people's vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed. Reports of shadow people are similar to ghost sightings, but differ in that shadow people are not reported as having human features. Instead they appear to be black humanoid silhouettes with no discernible mouths, noses, or facial expressions, though accounts also tell of them being child-sized humanoids or shapeless masses that sometimes change to a more human like form without wearing any identifiable cloths or attempting to communicate. The eyes are usually not described as being discernible but in some reports glowing eyes are mentioned. The color of the eyes is red. Generally, they are described as lacking mass, though their specific nature varies from a two-dimensional shadow to a vaporous or distorted three-dimensional form. Their movement is often described as being very quick and disjointed; they may first move slowly, as if they were passing through a heavy liquid, and then rapidly "hop" to another part of a witness's surroundings. Witnesses also do not report the same feelings of being in the presence of something that 'was once human'. Some individuals have described being menaced, chased, or attacked by shadow people. There have also been reports of shadow people appearing in front of witnesses or lingering for several seconds before disappearing. Witnesses report that encounters are typically accompanied by a feeling of dread. Several explanations have been proposed to explain the phenomena of shadow people. Paranormal Explanations for shadow people have been drawn from the fields of parapsychology, metaphysics, demonology, religion, and the occult: A creature/s in an alternate reality whose dimension occasionally overlaps with ours, allowing it to be partially visible. A Manifested Thought form or demons created through various means, including negative psychic energy, black magic and other occult practices, or an event in which extreme emotional or physical stress/trauma has taken place. A shadow in some cultures, are similar to that of a ghost, a flicker of a life unable to end for some reason Several non-paranormal hypotheses for the phenomena of shadow people exist, including optical illusions or hallucinations brought on by the physiological/psychological circumstances of the witnesses. In most instances, people report seeing shadow people in the peripheral areas of their vision. This area of vision is linked to the areas of the brain that recognizes patterns, however it provides less detail to the brain than (center-forward) vision. This can lead to a condition in which the brain incorrectly interprets random patterns of light/shadow or texture as being familiar patterns such as faces and human forms. The same condition can also be observed in macular vision in low light conditions, or when viewing a complex but random image. A common example would be perceiving a shadow, thrown by an item of furniture in a darkened room, as being a person. Science is very closed minded about matters of this nature. The other day I was listening to a group of skeptics expounding on the fallacy of the paranormal and those who can tap into the power. As soon as the show was over another program aired regarding very old (cold) murder files. The police called in two psychics for their help. Not only did these two strangers have no knowledge of the case they had never met before. Even though they where kept apart they both described the same conditions very accurately and because of their insight a person was arrested and convicted through DNA. Go figure. I am on the side of the ghost and shadow people. Now back to spirits, they will tend to show themselves when provoked or when energy is available, some show themselves at the same time daily, this would be a residual haunting, like a recorder, they do the same thing they did before they died, some as in intellegents can be provoked into showing themselves. Some ARE family members and some are demonic entities or evil spirits trying to gain your trust, alot of times they will manifest as a child to gain your trust. GH and GHI will find new members when need thru their TAPS family groups, all the GH/GHI members are from other groups that are members of the TAPS family....heres what you need to know to become a member of the family...Please note that the TAPS Family is an elite network of some of the best teams around. Our selection process is fairly strenuous and it will remain that way to keep the family unique. To qualify for the TAPS Family, you must meet the below minimum requirements. However understand that meeting these requirements does not constitute immediate acceptance into the TAPS Family. While we are very fair in our selection process, we also take a lot of other things into consideration and discuss all aspects of an application, as a team. To qualify, again, you must meet these minimum requirements: 1. Your team must have a minimum of one year of service in the community. This must be verifiable. 2. Your team must have a web presence and must represent themselves on an add-free service. We shy away from freebie web hosting sites. 3. You must provide two (2) references at a minimum from your local community. This ensures to us that you've been active in a positive light. 4. The Founder of your group must be at least 21 years of age and have a clean criminal background. 5. Your group must offer all services for free and while your policy may include accepting donations, you may not state that you ASK for them. 6. Your group must be in an area where we need coverage. Please see the coverage map here. 7. You understand that if your group is rejected at the current time, you may not reapply for at least 12 months. Thanks for the questions, this was helpful. |

Very Interesting and Enlightening!Dear Brian, Thanks very much for your explaination of all the questions I have asked. It was very interesting and enlightening. I learned alot from what you told me. Boy you are very good at answering questions. I bet you have been asked a lot of strange questions. Thanks for all of your help I appreciate it very much. I am glad that you made this website it has been very helpful. Do you do alot of investigating? Why do you have to belong to a group of investigators before you can get a chance to belong to a taps team? What about if someone just takes the courses that taps has that I have seen on the taps website? Did Brian belong to another team before he was added to ghost hunters group? I know he said that he helped make taps what it is today! Thanks again Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Re: Very Interesting and Enlightening!
Our group tries to investigate as often as possible, its been slow lately due to busy schedules, but ive been doing it unproffesionally since 1989. TAPS want to see how serious a group is before they can become a family member, theres too many groups out there that arent serious and dont take it serious that want to be a part of TAPS. TAPS is very professional in the cause of helping people with paranormal activity. So they need prossionals to keep up thier good reputation. Taking classes are good for someone that wants to do it seriously and they are very informative, but take them from a local group, famous groups like TAPS tend to charge a fee wereas locals most likely dont. Brian has been interested in the paranormal since he was 11, other groups? not sure but he was with TAPS for many years. TAPS was a serious investigation group long before the tv show came around. thanks again. |

Thanks for your answers. I thought that taps people like jason don't charge people at least that is what he said one time. Has that changed now? So since you do investigating unprofessionally do you do it for fun so to speak? Have you helped a lot of people? I know that I have seen some people who say they are ghost investigators but they really are not and you can tell by the way they act. Like I have see a number of ghost investigators go to the Winchester house and they say it is haunted and I know for a fact that it isn't becasue Jason and Grant went there too and they both said it wasn't haunted becasue they didn't see or hear or feel anything while they were there. So alot of them just blow it out of perportion I think. Again thanks for all of your answers. Have you investigated any castles or famous places? I think that would be great. Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com | ||

We investigate professionally now, but years ago I did it unprofessionally. TAPS doesnt charge to investigate, but they do charge for siminars and classes. As far as people saying a place is or isnt haunted, they really cant say it isnt just because they didnt see or feel anything, one thing to remember is ghost or spirits arent always active, so you could go to a place one time and nothing happen, then return and it is very active. We have investigated the Von Minden hotel in Texas, The Carnton Mansion in Tennessee, The Bell Witch Cave in Tennessee and The Murphy School in Tennessee, those are the most famous locations, all were active except for the Bell Witch cave..... Thanks again |

Active Places!Hi Brian, Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that if a place isn't active the first time seen that it doesn't mean that it isn't active. What did you think of the bell witch cave? I have seen so called ghost hunting people go and say that it was haunted plus there is suppose to be a legend about the bell witch putting a hex on the guy that lived in that house and so the witch made him die supposely but I don't believe in hexes and stuff like that. Did you and your group catch a lot of EVPS or get any Videos? Well thanks again. Sincerely Nance318 timetraveler122@aol.com |

Re: Active Places!
The Bell Witch cave was interesting to see, but wasnt active at the time we went. The Bell Witch wasnt even really a witch, it was an evil entity, no hexes were really used, they all believed it to be witch craft during the time but it was more than that. Its true that John Bell died during this, but no one really knows what happened to him, if he did die due to the Witch, then its the only rocorded death due to a haunting. We didnt get any EVP's or video from the cave. The cave itself was actually a indian burial chamber, so that possibly was what was causing the paranormal activity there.....Thanks again.. |
