The day began fairly uneventful. It was a hot sultry day, and we were clammy and sweaty people; everyone was sweaty, the sun was sweaty. Luckily we kept hydrated, unfortunately everything we drank made its way out our pores and into our already soggy stinking clothes. The Allegheny mountain range is gorgeous, small by comparison to other mountain ranges perhaps, but nonetheless just as beautiful. Maybe even more so.

In paranormal research, ghost hunting, or any spiritual pursuit, protection is a must. We bring pepper spray and cell phones, go in groups to those dark, isolated cemeteries, and let other people know our location. In the physical realm, that should be enough. But keep in mind any pursuit involving the non-physical world warrants special protection.

More and more, people are trying to find ways to provide solid scientific proof that ghosts, spirits, and elemental beings do exist in our realm. As technology advances, so do the tools used for serious ghost hunters! While some of the technology may provide adrenaline-pumping results, that same technology can be attributed to many false validations of supposedly haunted locations.

Charles was looking to purchase a home for his wife and two children. He wanted a larger home on the outskirts of a metropolitan area in Texas. To assist him in the process of house hunting he enlisted the help of his mother Beth. She didn’t quite know how she would help out, but he asked her to go with him to look at houses. At the very least she knew that she could entertain the children when they got bored. The realtor was showing him and his wife homes that were newer in age and in communities that had features for the kids. The daughter and son were of school age and would go to new schools in the fall.
