Sensitive Investigators - Don’t Leave Home Without One With advances in technology and science which is crucial to the advancement of the paranormal investigative and research field, we often overlook a more hidden and not so scientific resource which many times is even ridiculed and pushed wayside by the scientific faction. This is those individuals who have a special hidden gift or what they sometimes perceive as a curse, what I call the “sensitive” investigator or others may call psychics or clairvoyants. I have learned from personal experience and from being with a successful team that proper utilization of the sensitive investigator can be just as important and valuable as the scientific methods and gadgets we use. However, just like a piece of equipment you have to take such out into the field yourself for some test runs and evaluate the usefulness of each individual piece. Just like a piece of equipment you have to get very familiar with all of its features and limitation in order to use it properly. It has to also be kept in mind that all sensitive investigators (psychics/clairvoyants) are not the same and they come with less, more and different features just like your new digital camera or voice recorder and even once in awhile can be faulty. Sensitive investigators come with various levels and types of extra-sensory perceptions which include abilities to gather knowledge and information through methods not yet fully understood or recognized by science which include: feeling (clairsentience), smelling (clairalience), hearing (clairaudience), knowing (claircognizance), tasting (clairgustance) and seeing (clairvoyance). Some sensitive investigators may possess just one of these abilities while another may have three or even all. One could write an entire book concerning each and every type of extra-sensory perception as well as give them various categorizations and individual names. When such a sensitive investigator’s abilities are properly identified then they can be used strategically to assist in all areas of the investigative and research process including: being present at client or witness interviews where they can ascertain truthfulness and credibility, in research where their abilities may give leads to tangible facts that may provide invaluable documentation, at the site which is possibly experiencing paranormal activity where their abilities may provide valuable for gathering hidden knowledge and facts concerning the haunting or even in communicating with what may be doing the haunting and even to assist with locations and angles for equipment placement. I have found that a good gifted sensitive investigator many times will be worth their weight in gold as their interaction can assist in the capture of valuable evidence, gather knowledge leading to information and other facts that many times further research will substantiate and overall prove invaluable in the process of substantiating an actual haunting or the explainable causes that are being perceived as such. Furthermore, many times a sensitive investigator can assess a location and identify hidden or potential dangers that paranormal activity could pose to other members of the investigative team or the clients involved. One example I have personally been witness to includes when a sensitive investigator was taking note of communications received from an entity during an investigation in which he told her his name. During later analysis of audio captured that night on the recorder of a more scientific investigator, the entity also gave the same exact name. This was able to be extracted as evidence and classified as an unexplained voice or what we in the field call an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). Subsequent research found this name as an actual person who passed away in what was once a nearby poor house where the burial locations were never marked or noted. These burials could have been throughout the neighborhood we were investigating. In another example, a sensitive investigator gathered detailed knowledge of a young girl who was severely abused by her mother at an investigative site. Through subsequent research and interviews contact was later made with an elderly lady who once lived at that location and validated through a non-leading interview that she was abused by her mother as a child while living there. This case allowed us to experience and document residual paranormal activity which involved the energy from a living person’s traumatic past. Other examples include the many investigations in which witness interviews and preliminary analysis would have resulted in areas warranting no equipment placement or focused interactive investigation techniques. However, sensitive investigators with their abilities noted they felt that certain locations within these areas would be good for such placement and interaction. When equipment and interaction were used in the areas the sensitive investigators recommended, it resulted in the capture of pertinent evidence which aided greatly in the substantiating of an actual haunting or other paranormal activity at the location being investigated. I strongly feel that the proper integration of such sensitive investigators along with sound scientific methods and equipment are needed for success in the paranormal investigative and research field. I highly recommend that each team or organization attempt this integration and see if it brings them a better balance and success rate in the field. Personally, I do not leave home and go to an investigation without a sensitive investigator by my side. © 2008 - Gregory Myers, Paranormal Task Force, Inc. www.catchmyghost.com Also published in the February I Am Haunted Newsletter and on Haunted America Tours |
