Dear Ghostvillage and other idiots!

We have all been somewhere we are not supposed to be, right? As a teenager, the coolest thing to do and possibly the most stupid thing to do is enter private property and look for cursed places that are full of ghosts, human sacrifice and OMG spooky graffiti!!!!

Here is where my rant comes in...
As a teen, how easy it must be to Google haunts and attractions? Hell, as a kid, it was word of mouth and that alone. But, it seems that kids can find places to vandelize and potentially get hurt, even killed at... why? Because STUPID irresponsible "ghost hunters" have the shit on the internet.
First, why are "ghost hunters" giving so much credit to teenaged urban legends? Are they bored or what? Second, why are they posting this crap on the internet?
This particular case well, a family friend, her kid just ended up at the "Purple Church". random link 1 random link 2 random link 3 Random link 4 and so on....
This particular place is on private land. People in the area are know to "shoot first, ask questions later" as they protect their "herb garden". This kid was caught at the "Purple Church" this past weekend. Of course, I get a phone call stating "What is the Purple Church". I have to explain that it's just a foundation with a mini-basement with graffiti all over it indicating that it's "satanic". It's not paranormal unless you are stupid enough to believe it is. It's dangerous and should not be posted anywhere on the internet as a "popular haunt".
What is wrong with today's "professional ghost hunters" where they post locations on the internet. Some resources have people going all different directions, in the meantime private property is being envaded as these dumb assed kids that watch too much TV go search for these places.
Resources such as www.ghostvillage.com Click here to read entire thread
Not only are they allowing people to post information about locations on the internet for teens and idiotic children to go and destroy, graffiti and overall vandelise as they try to get a piece of ass. These places, in this particular thread are dangerous. Most are packed full of black mold, asbestos, broken floors, windows, holes, snakes and of course the local meth lab cooker. Websites like this that allowe turn by turn directions need to be stopped or at least addressed. Sure, the parents need to know where their kids are, but when you were 17 were you 100% honest about where you went to your parents? If so, good for you, that is rare! Anyway, the "moderator pops on eventually and states...
"We at Ghostvillage DO NOT condone any type of illegal activity, whether it is done in the pursuit of paranormal research or otherwise.With that being said, the Member Guidelines for the message boards have been updated to include number 7: Any post or material that contains a reference to any type of illegal activity (such as trespassing, use of illegal substances, or any other activity that is deemed illegal) shall be removed from the boards without warning.This means that if you post something that is illegal, your post or material will be removed from public view. You will not be given a warning, it will just be removed. No explanation will be given."
But, the turn by turn directions are still there?
I normally do not have a problem with exploration, but today's kids are influenced by TV and have no care in the word or respect for property, property owners and themselves. The "Ghost Hunters" that are out there exploiting locations, placing them on the internet does nothing but add to the thrill that these kids are seeking. "If the ghost hunters go there, it must be haunted?" As for the family friend that her 16 year old son visited the Purple Church, he now knows what a total dumbass he is. (I hope) and the mom knows that there are more dangers at risk than her son making contact with "satanic ghosts from 1982, that were also Iron Maiden fans"
People often question WHY some ghost hunters are NO LONGER posting cases on the internet. This is why! No matter how much work you do there or time you spend, some idiot kid will find it and repost it on places like Ghost Village and twist it into some big assed urban legend fit for future idiotic ghost hunters.

We have found it!!!!! The search is over!!!

During the past 4 years we have blogged about the social environment of the paranormal community. We have made and even met some fantastic people, while on the other hand, we have had our share of stalkers, trolls and overall bat shit crazy individuals that claim to be something they are not. We search for the inadequate in hopes that people will thrive to be more than the insufficient cemetery jumpers they are making themselves out to be. We have dealt with some genuinely crazy people out there and we have dealt with those that are truly ignorant and blind. We have received thanks and verbal lashings over what we have said and how we have said it. It's okay, we are prepared to take the heat and for the past 4 years we have yet to get "burned".

As we search for the most inadequate person in this field, we have been toyed with, daunted with, maybe we found them maybe not. But recently we feel and agree that the most inadequate person in the paranormal field has been discovered. This is of course until someone more ignorant, mentally disturbed and overall overpowering and blatant sense of attention comes along. But for now, we strongly feel the search has ceased and we have found the "poster child" of pure paranormal ignorance. We are happy to report this person as the biggest "red flag" in the paranormal field to date. This person has beat out charlatans, scam artists and narcissistic psychics.

His name is Bobby Zoeller. He is not really anyone of importance, this is why he has passed everyone else in the race of inadequacy. On a psychological level, this man seems to have it all when it comes to defining his new title.

Definition: Not adequate; unequal to the purpose; insufficient; deficient; as, inadequate resources, power, conceptions, representations, etc


For a few short weeks we have indulged this person so we can analyze him and offer what we do best... social commentary on him as a person and as a researcher. Add a little bit of research, a pinch of basic psychology, a lot of reading, word play in his blogs, tension of the blog, amounts of blogs, lack of direct response, need for hysterics that have no true meaning all the way to how often he blogged over the holidays. He has mastered "screaming for attention" and everyone should take notes and thrive to never be like him.

Psychological Breakdown:

Bobby/Robert Zoeller continues to use his childhood nickname. Basically, he has yet to grow up. The use of "bobby" verses "Bob, Robert or even Rob" indicates a lost childhood or on the lower scale it signifies a need to be nurtured due to an overpowering mother/grandmother even a sister, truly a sign that he was enabled to grow as a man. As a man, graduating from his childhood name into his adult name is a common practice. The possibility of him not having an all American childhood is also linked to the use of his childhood name. The subject still clings to fantasized thoughts that he will become something of importance in his life, although he was never encouraged. Astronaut, doctor, policeman, firefighter or... a hero is beyond his grasp and his inner child has latched on and refuses to let go. Mentally a child, but physically a man, what a horrible and confusing mindset to be in. The last thing he needs is to be enabled.

Current state- It is apparent that "bobby" is married. His current wife is enabling him to be ignorant and child like for some reason. No matter what her reason is, it's the worst thing she can do as an adult woman. Those that enable moments in an adult males life are just as guilty to the outcome/product and often chose enabling outside of conflict due to their own insecurities often linked to their fathers lack of emotional presence as a child. The phrase "it's better than nothing" comes to mind when describing an enabler of this scale. Allowing such inadequate behaviour involving subjects of fantasy, such as the "paranormal" is not healthy and it's very uncommon. It is the same as allowing a 15 year old boy to believe in such things as the Easter Bunny. The subject is irrelevant in reality, but the inadequate man thrives on, believing he is making a difference.

The Need:
There are many reasons why a man, that uses his childhood name would fixate and obsess over subjects and parties involving the unexplained. Power- Potential reasoning behind the lack of power can include, impotence, job structure, financial insecurities such that his wife could be the bread winner of the family, lack of producing offspring, illness both physical and mental, lack of control in ones life and lack of control of thoughts and ideas. No matter what Bobby Z's reason is (in his mind) there is always another reason to explain irrational behaviours.


Screaming for attention in an inadequate life-

The fact that this person continued to blog on Christmas (against his wife's wishes) is disturbing. "My wife said I should take Christmas off. I said forget that shit. "
The fact that he compared himself to military Generals and the nations top "decision makers" in US History and making statements such as "the truth does not take a day off" or "
"General Patton never took Christmas off" and "Nixon sent in B-52's for some high altitude carpet bombing of the North Vietnamese at Christmas."

BZ- "I take Christmas off and these assholes re-group"

The fact that has has appointed himself a job of "power" is alarming. Re-group? While the rest of the world was cooking Christmas dinner and exchanging gifts, little Bobby thought that we were really thinking about him on Christmas. Re-Group? In your idiotic mind, you really thought that we were planning some kind of attack on you? Nope, we were enjoying the holidays while you entertained your delusional mind in hopes of covering up your inadequacies of being a "man".

More from BZ and his false sense of "power"

"Ask the North Vietnamese about that back in '72. Nixon carpet bombed them back into the stone age. "

Bobby Zoeller in his mind feels that he has power. He is comparing himself to the nations leaders. (?)

Reading into the Nixon reference could possibly be the most subconscious mistake made by Bobby Zoeller. Nixon was impeached and involved with world wide scandal. Bobby just compared himself to one of the Nations biggest scandals involving lies, deception and fraud. Thanks Bobby for subconsciously fucking yourself. Your "character" is reflected upon your choice of hero's. Lies are still lies even for Presidents of the United states.



The conclusion of an inadequate man:

BZ- "I like to keep them on the run and watching out for their asses as I expose them for what they are."

We are bitches. It's not new, we admit it. If you are going to "expose" us then do it the right way , without lies and utilizing resources that are nothing more than a the imagination of bipolarism and dysfunction. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, oh and good luck! We are not frauds or scam artists. Bobby is doing nothing more than attempting to establish himself as some kind of "hero". (now that's funny)


Bobby's Paranormal Past-

Well, there really is not one. He was booted from a group that was run by Keith Age. It's not a secret so no need to dive into it. His involvement with Waverly Hills Sanitarium is his only "claim to fame".

The information he is posting is dated, inaccurate and based off human emotions. Just because someones feelings are "hurt" does not make their complaint a fact.

The bad thing is... Bobby does not seem to realize that other people (not just him) have done substantial research on the Waverly Hills Sanitarium. The hype, the false history and the exploited paranormal claims made by those that run the place. Bobby is very upset that his version is not respected. Much like the rest of his "exposure" it is out dated. The bullshit with Waverly, well, any good researcher is aware of the hype, lies and deception. It is not your "bone to throw", you DID NOT discover it. History did. Bobby seems to think that he has made a breakthrough, in fact, his effort is dated. Only idiots believe what are preached at them on a historical level at the Waverly Hills Sanitarium. Other than the WHS information, Bobby Zoeller is linked up with the biggest scam artist in the paranormal community. Chris Moon. (Kind of like the Nixon link) This is his only website or published articles that are out there. His need for power has overshadowed his morals and ethics. Personally, those that truly want to expose scam artists would die before being linked up with them. It's hypocritical and down right desperate. Bobby thinks that his article is hitting the masses... but what he fails to see is that those that visit that site are already in the mindset that Chris Moon (and others) are the "real deal". No matter what you write, they are not reading it. It's simple and Bobby is too ignorant to see it.

Stalker Past-

Bobby is now emailing me personally he seems to think that he has discovered something with the ghost divas, it is a "Case" to him that we have our email addy's on the internet, funny thing is, it is just showing that he's stalking us. Our email addys are not top secret. LOL Way to get the "Scoop" little Bobby Zoeller. You really outdone yourself this time!
r_zoeller@bellsouth.net
His email address is already on the internet. Several places. Just like ours.

Bobby is nothing more than someone that has too much time on their hands. He has harassed more people out there than we can count. He has harassed MANY people that do not need to be. He also gets very angry when people are asked to speak at conferences and events and he does not. As an inadequate male it makes sense. He just wants a piece of the paranormal pie and he is unable to achieve it because he's too inadequate as a researcher and a man to get it.


So, congratulations Bobby Zoeller for earning the title of "Most Inadequate Man in the Paranormal". You have earned it in full. Your lack of research and basing your "cases" off of lies, deception and of course dated information makes you the top worthless person in the field.
Even the enabler herself has spoken on behalf of her husband, Bobby Zoeller. He's mentally UNSTABLE.

She states in a blog "Sorry to shoot down all of your opinions and advice, but bobby did see a counselor last year, but not for marital issues. The doctor did not reccomend meds. But did tell bobby to do what he enjoyed. That is researching people. He also decided bobby did not need all of the sessions allotted by his insurance." - Bobby's wife.

The doctor did not recommend "meds"? Well, what did he recommend as an alternative? "to do what he enjoyed", really? Does the doc know that he is going utterly crazy on the internet and is developing a NEW "addiction"? Enable much? Researching people on his level is also called STALKING. If the Doc told him to do that, he would have his license taken from him/her. I am positive the Doctor/counselor was talking about something normal, like fishing, model cars and such.. not STALKING because he is inadequate as a man and uses the internet to feel "powerful". He probably should have went to all of the sessions, told the truth and learn to deal with his past, present and future. The path he is on is not normal. As the "wife" you may be getting something out of it like attention, sex or conversation aka temporary emotional attention. Remember... the first step is admitting there is a problem. Follow through with it Mrs. wife of little bobby zoeller. Maybe get him a puppy or have him join a sports team, that seems to work with boys that feel they have nothing substantial going for them.

Earning the title of the Paranormals Most Inadequate Man. Congratulations little Bobby Z!!!!





So, in closing. We have discovered the paranormal fields biggest loser. The most inadequate person that is attempting to represent the field. The actions of this person has showcased stalkerism, lack of life, lack of desire for the real world and the most sad, the lack of truth. Bobby can make up lies all he wants it still does not cover the fact that he is mentally unstable and is overall pointless. He is a pitiful display of what being a man is all about. We do feel bad for his wife and we hope that she realizes soon. Those that support little Bobby Z are those that have already proven themselves to be liars and crazy in the field. Be mindful of those you affiliate with. If you are happy to see "someone taking on the ghost divas" and that makes you happy, perhaps you should reflect on your own life and your own sense of inadequacy. Those that "support" him and encourage him are nothing more than those that have tried and FAILED at "taking us down". The truth ALWAYS wins, why is that so difficult for some to understand?

Opinions and Theories; Is that All There is?

We really haven’t any very great amount of data on this subject, and without data how can we reach conclusions? Thomas Edison

How indeed? Another year is set to close and we are nowhere near presenting irrefutable evidence of ghosts and hauntings than we were this time last year or the year before or the year before that. As much as we may like to pretend otherwise, a blinking K-2 meter is not evidence; neither is a triple collar tug, a shadowy figure caught on tape, a psychic’s feelings or electronic voice phenomena…

While we focus on this lack of evidence, let’s also remember that there isn’t any scientific evidence to support the existence of the ego or the unconscious. Is the brain “…nothing more than a wonderful meat mechanism” as Edison said in 1910? Or was Freud closer to the mark with his three part psyche; the id, the ego and the super ego? Are human beings ruled by their primitive instincts and powers? Is our purpose in life simply to overcome these instincts and powers? Are dreams the royal road to the unconscious? Of course, like ghost hunting, and paranormal research; it’s all theory.

But theories are just that and subject to change. Freud’s student, Jung took his teacher’s ideas and expanded on them. Called a mystic philosopher by some and hailed as a scientific researcher by others, Jung saw a collective unconscious (universal mind.) that is a repository of shared human experiences and memories, normally hidden from our conscious. Perhaps some of us are able to tap into the collective unconscious more effectively than others. Is this the reason for Thomas Edison’s inventive mind? Or the Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce and the readings he gave while in a trance?

Within Jung’s collective unconscious are four archetypes: the self, the shadow, the anima, and the animus. The Shadow archetype may explain the new phenomena in ghost hunting, demons. As we struggle to come to terms with the Shadow within ourselves we project our unacceptable behaviors—after all it is easier to see the Shadow within others than to see it within ourselves…just look at what the bad demon is doing now…

In his 1917 essay On the Psychology of the Unconscious, Jung described the Shadow as, “the sum total of all those unpleasant qualities we like to hide, together with the insufficiently developed functions and the content of the personal unconscious.”

So those inappropriate emotions we’ve been taught to repress since early childhood, anger, rage etc etc are part and parcel of the Shadow. Dark, dark, dark; rather than look at the evil we are capable of let’s frighten ourselves with the demon and the evil ghost as well.

Opinion, conjecture, theory and whatnot! How much do any of us really know about ghosts and hauntings, and what happens on the other side?
In a November 1926 interview for The Forum, Thomas Edison said, “I do not know that it would help us much if we knew more than we do about what comes to us after this life is ended by death; but there has been advance in other phases of our knowledge and I will not deny the probability of advance in this. At present the Soul’s immortality is one of those things in which man instinctively believes, but about which there is no proof when it is regarded from the strictly practical standpoint. Would proof help us?”

Would proof help us? It’s a damn good question. Would it? How? Further in the interview Edison explains why we don’t have knowledge of what he calls the soul’s immortality. “There are two reasons why we do not possess positive knowledge on the difficult subject of the soul and immortality. Principal of these is the fact that we do not at present know how even to begin investigation of them. Thought in this line has been nebulous and loose. Mathematics, which is the only exact science we possess, cannot be applied to it in any way as yet discovered. The soul apparently is not something to be analyzed by chemists or weigh in scales or photographed, or recorded by any instruments whatever. “

It is interesting to note that the Forum interview took place six years after his interview with Austin Lescarboura entitled Edison’s Views on Life after Death that appeared in the October 30 1920 issue of Scientific American Magazine. It is this earlier interview that people refer to as evidence that Edison was working on a machine to communicate with the dead.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Carl Gustav Jung

So 2008 is slipping away…And while we have our opinions, our theories and conclusions, we have no evidence…no proof…Perhaps opinions and theories are all we will ever have...

TAPS Tween Hero's?

Okay... not harping on TAPS or wanting to start a war at Christmas but one of our friends sent us a link to this video response to his controversial breakdown of the TAPS Halloween special.

From the mouths of babes...
http://www.youtube.com/user/PremiumRepose (kids youtube profile)




Watching the video makes me think of several things. First, these kids are smarter than most adults. These kids are smarter than most "professional ghost hunters" that are our there. Sad huh? It's also sad to see that TAPS is officially in "hero" status. They are good role models I guess, but then again as a parent I would not allow my children to have hero's that are on a sci-fi reality TV series, if they wanted to,I would find out why. But, that's just me I guess, I may be the paranormal parent here. As for kids growing up wanting to be on the TAPS team, this is strange to me. Now, she did say she would have another job, but It's alarming to me that society is this way, TV is the influence but being a doctor, astronaut and so on are a thing of the past. Has TAPS successfully segregated the community within the general public with the impression that "they" are the only legitimate team in the entire world? So, in closing, I am looking forward to the responses about this video. We have NO connection with these kids so don't even go there. As with all of the "ghost divas" none of our children are on youtube with profiles and we would not allow it, mainly because there are perverts out there. So, what do you think? From the mouths of babes or strong parental influence?

PS- Those that left nasty comments on our parody of the "jacket tugging" do not go and post bullshit comments to these kids they are innocent, cursing them and calling them every name in the book like you did with us.. we know who you are.(some of you) and your true colors will shine bright in your ignorant and utterly closed mind.


Feel free to repost and link this blog and share with others.

The Paranormal Community needs a spanking!

Our friend Kenny posted a simple blog It's a fun way to see just how the human eye see's things. I posted a comment, jokingly of course then it dawned on me. My joke is reality for the mass majority of "Ghost Hunters/Researchers" out there.

We scream Accountability and we will scream it again! As a researcher you must be accountable for what you are claiming to be paranormal activity. Just because you might believe in orbs, fairies, trolls and green monkeys in the attic does NOT make it a fact or even close to being the truth. BELIEVING is NOT Truth. It's an OPINION!

The attitude with todays paranormal teams is that they are RIGHT. They will throw out hypocritical statements like "there are no experts", "we seek the truth" and of course the classic "we are skeptics".
Um, skeptics are not idiots. Skeptics think rationally before thinking para-normally. They are Liars... wait, I wont be so harsh. They are not liars. They are simple CLUELESS.

Today's ghost hunters, even the ones on TV are building the mindset and convincing themselves that because of "who" they are... they are RIGHT. They do not want to hear, read or view another source of scrutiny when it comes to evidence. They want people to LIKE them, the last thing on their minds is the truth. They are subtle (maybe ignorant) about the possibility that they alone are wrong. They are EXEMPT from the true skeptics view and throw out the "You had to be there" excuse.

I did NOT have to be there when the "paranormal event" took place. You have it on video, audio and even a photo. Not everyone is/will/should believe that something was ghostly just because a team said so. You are not fucking super hero's and you are not exempt from human nature and mistakes. Just ask Grant with his Jacket Tugging.... If your evidence is on trial you can either ignore it like a wussy or you can defend it. If you are not ready to defend it then TALK about it. Hiding and bouncing around questions and concerns will not gain you any popularity. As a researcher/explorer or just a simple ghost hunter EVERYONE is expected to justify their claims of Paranormal activity. If not, DO NOT put it out there for the world to see. You are not a super hero. You are just like the rest of us. You are in this field for a reason. Is your reason to post bullshit then coward your way out of it the moment someone says "hey, that could be this"? Why the fuck are you in the field again?

Peer review- It's not scary. It's not a bad thing. It's not being "negative" its nothing more than allowing others to view your evidence and offer outside opinions before you make an ass out of yourself and your entire team. Your teams ethics, morals and reputation IS on the line. Unless you are RIGHT and have proven your team to be exempt from the rest of the rational thinking world. You MUST be accountable for what you do. This is what professionals do, I thought you were "professional"? Did you rewrite that definition as well?

The list of accountability factors are longer than the list of "good evidence" that is out there. Teams that stigmatize property values, posting "orbs" as ghosts, whisper crap called EVP and of course, the fly by night new found psychic impressions that teams are giving property owners and scaring the shit out of children are doing NOTHING but going around playing a role. They are NOT researching. They are just playing a game for PERSONAL entertainment. They do not care, they are exempt and are full of nothing but lame excuses to justify why they think they are doing something worthwhile. They are lying to themselves and they are lying to what they like to call clients.

Be accountable. Put it out there for others to see. Don't be afraid of peer review. If someone says "the light source came from that window" they are NOT being MEAN, RUDE or CRUEL. That mean person could have possibly just saved you and your team from looking like a total idiot to the rest of the rationally minded world. Stop being a dumbass and welcome others to offer opinion. Stop using the words "You was not there". The video camera was there, it caught it all now EXPLAIN to the rest of the world why we SHOULD believe you. Can you or will you coward out because you are exempt from mistakes or error?

Dear Paranormal Community- Get OFF your pedestal by yourself, otherwise someone smarter than you with nothing to gain or lose is going to knock you off of it and it's going to start some "drama"....

New definition of drama in the Paranormal Community: Asking questions ='s Drama.(what the hell?)

Thomas Edison: Did He or Didn't He?

It’s common knowledge among those in the paranormal community that Thomas Edison talked about building a machine to communicate with the dead. Whether or not, it was just talk is still open to debate…In the following quote Edison is referring to his work with the motion picture camera when he says, "I believe that in coming years, by my own work and that of Dickson, Muybridge, Marey, and others who will doubtless enter the field, grand opera can be given at the Metropolitan Opera House at New York without any material change from the original, and with artists and musicians long since dead."

He did not mean that the stage of the opera house would be given over to ghosts but rather that images of the living would remain forever on film. Recently we’ve seen an example with Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight.

Could it be that the inventor was thinking along the same lines for his sound equipment?

Did he have a hand in designing or operating the box that is called the Thomas Edison Telephone to the Dead? Personally, I don’t think so. Just as I doubt that Edison sits on the other side eagerly awaiting his next trans-death communication through the box…IMHO it’s arrogance to assume that any of the great minds, once they’ve transitioned, have nothing better to do than regularly communicate with us. When he was alive Edison was careful who he permitted into his laboratory. According to an article in Modern Mechanix October 1933, his experiment dealing with ghosts was conducted in secrecy with only a few scientists and Spiritualists present. The experiment failed dismally.

Even today decades after his death, Edison’s name adds credibility to the claim of a so called telephone to the dead. Even though Thomas Edison gave interviews in which he claimed to be working on a machine that would communicate with the dead, no prototype has ever been discovered. Nor have any notes that mention the device been found among the millions of his papers. One thing is certain, if Edison had a retinue of attorneys guarding the rights to his the name the way Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley do, his name would probably not be affixed to any so called telephone. Not without costly name licensing that is.

An article in Fate Magazine April 1963 tells of a séance in which Edison was contacted. During this séance, he supposedly told where the prototype could be found…

Though he later denied it, Edison joined the Theosophical Society in 1877. One of the society’s beliefs was reincarnation and Edison had his own particular views on reincarnation.

At age 63 Edison said, “When a man is dead, he is dead! My mind is incapable of conceiving such a thing as a soul. I may be in error, and man may have a soul; but I simply do not believe it."
These words hardly seem like those of someone who was interested in afterlife communication. Granted, they don’t seem like those of a man who believed in reincarnation either. However, eleven years later when asked by a reporter what his thoughts on death were, Edison’s viewpoint seems to have changed.
“We say a man dies. Perhaps, in a sense, the term is accurate when the aggregate which we have called a man ceases to function as an aggregate and, therefore, no longer can be called a man; but the expression is not at all accurate if by it we mean that the life which kept that man at work or play ceases to exist. Life does not cease to exist.
Certainly a man of many contradictions, did he actually build a machine to communicate with the dead? What’s your thoughts?

Working Moms

We live in a curious time. The inauguration of our nation’s first African American president is weeks away, same sex marriages are making headway, and recently the U.S. Army promoted its first female four star general. Unfortunately, in this time of excitement and change, working moms are still getting the shaft.

So this is our salute to all you working moms out there; there is no love more fiercely protective than that of a mother for her child. It is an undying unconditional love that sets us on our life’s path while attempting to prepare us for whatever life might toss our way.
Being a mom is a full time job. There are no set office hours, days off or vacations. If a woman is financially blessed she doesn’t have to juggle the demands of an outside job with her mom job. She can stay home and enjoy quality time with her little ones. She can sing, dance and be silly with her children. She can teach her kids things and witness that first wavering step, the first word, and all the other childhood milestones we moms cherish. The stay at home mom is fortunate. No one, save those who have never raised children, can doubt that the stay at home mom is working.

But there are many moms who must take on the added responsibility of jobs outside the home. And here in the 21st century these women are still looked upon with suspicion. Sarah Palin is an example. Whatever our feelings are toward Palin, no one can deny the questioning of her mothering abilities that came when she eyed the VP position. Here was a woman who wanted to ascend to the second highest position. How dare she? The responsibilities of being a mother were such that she could not possibly do both jobs well, they said.

Leaving Palin in Alaska, let’s look at the less financially blessed. These are the women who work two jobs; the full time mom job and the full time job that puts food on the table. It is not selfish on their part to pull themselves out of bed each morning, get their children ready for their day, and prepare for the eight hour grind that awaits them. They may be professionals, factory workers or service workers; they are working moms spending eight long hours away from their children out of necessity. Hopefully they will not miss that first step, or word. But bills must be paid.

In a perfect world, moms would have the choice of staying home with their children or working outside the home. But here in the real world, they are not given that choice. And so they do what they must. And that is, work outside the home.

Mellen can suck it.

OK, so this is the latest rambling of the crazy woman also known as "Simply Mellen". And before you goddamned cry about copyright - I'm crediting YOU with the inane rambling, so suck it.

" Terrorist do you enable them? If so, I WILL find you!!!
Current mood: bitchy
Category: Blogging

Hola my sweets!

My my my am I grumpy this morning! Woo hooo - must be 'hormones'! Ya know how we women can be.

The last entry I posted was regarding "unity" in the para-community. I thank the hundreds-of-people who read my entry as well as those who either shot me a personal email or the most brave for posting a comment upon my page; however, my intent wasn't achieved so I'm blogging again.

Let's get right back to the start .... seems my bulletins and blogs have been & are continually being forwarded to others under negative pretenses. Mind you, I don't "private" my profile nor my blog writings nor do I discriminate and deny friendships of others based upon their views, religious beliefs, marital status, color-of-their-skin ... so I'm a wee bit confused but whoops then again I'm not, now that I put my thoughts into writing ... people alike hang in packs, so duh, of COURSE there's a culprit or TEN who is 'stabbing' me in the back and sharing my writings without my consent.

SO ONCE AND FOR ALL ... BACKSTABBERS, DELETE ME BEFORE I DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE, which I WILL have no fear! IF NOT, I'll use you as the PERFECT example as YOU'RE the epitome of ALL that's wrong with our para-community! And whoops, I have this big arsed mouth and I just simply cannot refrain. [also, let me clue you in on something -- terrorists are carnivores and they'll turn on you fast as they did me when they realize you're growing tired of their rudeness and desperate cries for attention and stand-up to them -- then *WHOOPS* in a blink-of-an-eye YOU'LL been their "main course" ... but then again, IF you have a low social status which by bashing you won't bring them any glorified attention they so desperately seek, then they'll simply delete you and move-on -- IF YOU'RE LUCKY... if not, you're a wh*re, b*tch, c*nt, mentally ill, call your house anonomously trying to destroy your family with LIES, threaten your kids ... heck, they're so pathetic, they'll even pick on your friggin PURSE, for even IT isn't safe! *maturity at its finest, ey*]

Ok, let's sum it up, shall we. I KNOW someone is sharing my stuff, it's obvious. Whoever you are, kudos to you hope you feel well for being a "player" (although "pawn" would probably be a more appropriate term)! Merry Christmas and Happy New to you! I hope you sleep well at night and get all your just desserts in this lifetime AND the next!

IF ONE HAIR ON EITHER OF MY CHILDREN GETS HARMED, I WILL NOT STOP LOOKING FOR YOU and FIND YOU I WILL!!! Take that piece-of-cake and shove it down your ugly throats! Read me? Got me? Hear me? I mean it!!! DON'T EVER EVER EVER THREATEN MY CHILDREN OR MY FAMILY!

Oh & one more thing I want to clarify -- I'm not a dreamer, life isn't ideal so noooo I don't believe we'll EVER have complete para-peace! We can't for as long as there is hate, hate there shall be! Hitler was a hater! Napoleon was a hater! Bin Laden IS a hater! And what drives haters is the quest for power as hate is the most contagious of all emotions and sadly there are sooo many WEAK people to accommodate such atrociousness it takes flight as if there are no boundaries but alas there is, MY KIDS!!!! Even here in the para-community! How friggin sad considering THIS IS JUST A F*CKING HOBBY YOU MENTALLY ILL FREAKS!!!!

I have to confess, I'm literally SICK of this crap -- how about you?! I'm sick of being picked upon just because I have a love of ghosts and of history! Geez, never realized those were traits to threaten a person's welfare! And boo to you, I've never claimed to be the "IT" girl in the para-community ... ha, tis YOU who thinks YOU are!!!! See, I haven't any podcast, nor do I pen a magazine, ask to be the 'star attraction' at any para-cons, heck I don't even do the 'ghost groupie' crap anymore but alas I'm the "bad" one! Hmm? I simply love ghosts and find watching the scientifically-gifted teach us we CAN detect these fascinations. I guess those traits-of-mine makes the para-community look badly in the public eye .... ya know, my simply finding ghosts and our life hereafter as intriguing but y'all, well, you're vicious and cannot even allow a chick from Indiana to enjoy her love anymore. YOU'RE ALL SIMPLY F*CKING PATHETIC and I FOR ONE am now EMBARRASSED to share with people this love of mine! Ooooh tis not for fear I'll be laughed at or shunned as I USED to be for finding such "taboo'ed" happenings as fun (thank you Jason & Grant for breaking THAT social bread for us) buuuut BECAUSE OF YOU, you vile terrorists!

Unity is a good cause ... I disagree with anyone who claims others wise! I realize we'll NEVER have complete harmony as there will ALWAYS be an ugly, worm-ridden, apple in the bunch buuut even in the bushel you don't see the smaller apples rolling to the big-apple-side-of-the-bushel just to cause drama before rolling back to the "small apple side" of the cart as a player and watch their "work" unfold!

So with that said, I've a lot to ponder - as should you for remember, they're ugly carnivores who despite my KNOWING they'll get what THEY deserve, I'm sick of it all! I think I'm going to take up knitting instead -- far more exciting a hobby. I mean, I'm just saying!

LAST CALL -- EITHER DELETE ME, YOU TWO-TIMERS, OR I WILL SEEK YOU OUT AND MAKE A HUGE SPECTACLE OUT OF YOU!! I've soooo many friends on here, I won't even notice you're gone so do it NOW and not wait as I've this habit of petting snakes lying-in-wait and I've an inkling who you are! So here's where you can PROVE you're brave and noble as you want 'them' to believe, just takes one measly little click and waa laa, you can be proud you did the right thing and I can feel free'er and cleaner to be rid of such trash!

Sorry to the other 99% of my friends for having to read such a negative entry but alas I couldn't hold it in any longer! To you, and ONLY you, I sincerely apologize but beware, I will NOT back-down as I'm relentlessly vicious like that!

AGAIN, I WILL REPEAT -- THREATEN MY CHILDREN, MY FAMILY, OR MY LIFE EVER AND I WILL BE BEHIND YOU BEFORE YOU CAN SAY, "BOO"! And that's a f*cking promise!!!!

Hugs and all that crap ....

Mary Ellen


P.S.: Now that it's a PAID work day, let's see how many terrorists blog in my regard or STEAL this blog from me and color it their own! I soooo hope their bosses discover their sneaky ways! *hint* Oh the day, oh the glory, oh the long-arsed unemployment line they obviously believe they are immune to yet WILL be enjoying! But alas my pretties they aren't! ESPECIALLY when the job they hold is one funded by the government, ya know, the one WE THE PEOPLE fund! "

Firs of you all you whack job, we may be bitches or whatever name du jour you have chosen, but we would NEVER bring peoples' families into this bullshit. We will not talk about your children, who you're fucking, or what STD you may have. NEVER. WE, unlike some people, realize this is not real life even though some people - like Mellen - are ate the fuck up with it.

I have said before, you can call us whatever names you would like or that your empty little head can muster, but you LIE and it will be seen by the masses because WE will post about it. No one even reads your pathetic little blog or comments on it, so we'll make sure it gets seen by our readers. I know people will ask why we even give you the time to respond. We have been ignoring your ridiculous attempts at attention for some time now even though you lie like it's your fucking job. But when you accuse us of doing something illegal, well, it's a whole different story. If you think we have been terrorizing you, you are sadly mistaken. My guess is there are a LOT of other people that have seen what a freak you are and you likely have many other people that think you're nuts besides us. Trust me, YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO US THAT WE WOULD BOTHER CALLING YOUR FUCKING HOUSE.

Also, the cracks about the employment - are you STILL too fucking dense to see that there are SEVERAL of us and we all post at different times and have different schedules. Since you are so brilliant, you do know that interfering with someone's income is called tortious interference, right? You better watch it, chicky.

You have repeatedly made comments about our weight. Let me tell you something, the fact that you are nearly naked on your website and are STILL getting less attention than a bunch of fat women is PITIFUL. You are hack. It's time you realized it and crawl back in your hole, you jealous, pitiful, loser. And that picture made me throw up in my mouth a little, too. EWWW (shivers at the thought).

TAPS decrees it...or else

TAPS Family Member Top Priority
Below is a copy of an email I received today…But before going there, allow me to say…

Years ago, before TAPS became the big stars, heroes and gods of the paranormal; I was friends with Mike. I helped him get his foot in the door at some of the places he investigated in Las Vegas and sent him prospective private residence and members. But somewhere along the way, I lost my glitter. The name Janice Oberding could not contend with TAPS. And so when it comes down to it, we all make choices. Mike made his. Being affiliated with TAPS is top priority. I am a member of the hated Ghost Divas. I dared to speak out against TAPS and the phoney coat pull. And for those who want to keep their heads firmly implanted up TAPS collective asses that was enough to say adios Janice and thanks for the memories. Oh and Merry Christmas Mike. May you always bask in the glory of TAPS, may you always enjoy your coveted status as a TAPS family member.

Hi Janice.
I received a call from Britt Griffith (TAPS family manager) he said that LVPI's status as a part of taps is up in the air. It is mainly the ghost divas and the negativity that they post towards TAPS. It is with regret that I have to let you go as a member of LVPI. You think it is easy for me to do.....It is not. I will always be your friend and if you ever need me for anything I am here.
Take care.

Seeing is believing...

Take a look at this picture and the description. It reminded me of what happens all too often in the paranormal community. People are so wrapped in what they "think" they see, they don't see the truth. - Tammy


Strange False Head Photo

posted by Dean Terry
At first this photo seems to be a couple with a large head floating between them. But look again - things aren’t always what they seem.

Most people who look at this old photograph will probably see a large bearded head between the two figures. It looks like an image of Jesus.

You’ll probably think it’s just a crude hoax from bygone days. But look again, carefully. This is not a hoax at all. What the photo actually shows is a child sitting on the man’s knee.

Block out the head’s “hair.” That’s just a collection of foliage in the background. The “eye” is the face the child, shadowed by a large white bonnet. The “nose” is the sleeve of the child’s shirt. And the “mustache” is the child’s arm, bent at the elbow.

Be patient. It may take you awhile to see this.

Don't Like the Body You're In???

Imagine yourself in an entirely different body..

Ghost Divas CENSCORSHIP? HAHAHA!

This week we have been accused of many things.. but the newest one is "censorship". Waaa... We deleted a persons comment because he was spamming his blog on our blog. We have a right to delete a comment that we feel is spam or some kind of desperate attempt at getting attention. Typically, we do not delete comments. almost 4 years of blogging... only a few comments have been deleted. I can probably count them all on one hand.

We want people to speak their minds! But we also want people to have a point, otherwise we are not going to "endorse" you or ignorance.

If people are going to blog about fakes, fraud and scam artists than do so. Please do so! But make sure you have a strong case. This week we have watched another type of "paranormal police" squirm and retract/rewrite their blog because of mistakes that were made with trying to "prove" that we had something to do with deleting our own profile. They were wrong and even our "haters" stepped up to the plate and proved this person wrong. Why did the "haters" step in? Because they obviously have some morals. What was being reported was total bullshit, therefore it was nothing more than blatant lies. We do not LIE. We report what we see, offer commentary or we report what is handed to us in our inbox (thanks everyone!)

As for censorship- We believe in freedom of speech yes. But we do not believe in lies and things that are one sided or based on a "personal level".

This week we watched innocent people get their names mentioned during derogatory statements. For example "****** is not into ghosts, but I bet she gives good head" or "******* is not into ghosts, why he married her is probably because of *****"
This is NOT FACTS you dumbass. These are statements from some bitter woman (or man) that obviously has some insecurities about the person you are "attacking". WE DO NOT GO THERE. And HELLO has it dawned on your that these people are our friends and have been for many years? You can NOT make us agree with you. Your points are pointless, you are doing nothing more than just slinging poo' on someones name because you were "burnt" by them in the past... and his/her affiliates.

The Ghost Divas try to not get "personal" with anyone that we may blog about. Sometimes it happens yes, but it's because the opposing party went there. Everyone knows when we go off, we go off. It's for a good laugh :)

So, back to the censcorship. We can censor what we see as stupidity. Call us a hypocrite all ya want. We will not trash talk about a person from something that took place almost 10 years ago. This is a personal issue. NOT a present day community issue. It's your problem, get over it. If you really care about the "field" stop harping on stupid subjects like why some people are married to each other while others are not. That's just insane. We do NOT have to keep nonsense linked up to us.

We are not interested in your "blog hits/views" either. You seem to think this is some sort of competition. If it was a competition, lol we have already "won". But, hits and views are fun but that's not why we do what we do.


Get a life. We are NOT going to link you up. We do not like the way you are slinging poo on people because you have a personal vendetta with them.

To the other "paranormal police" out there... um. You proved yourself to be a coward idiot. You are hiding and your information was wrong. You can't just LIE and call it paranormal justice. Dumbass.

Vigilante 601

A vigilante is a self appointed watchman. He/she keeps watch over a community to see that all is as it should be according to how he/she interprets the law.

Back in the early days of the West there weren’t enough peace officers to go around. So vigilante committees like the 601 were formed by law abiding citizens to enforce the law. The problem was, these vigilantes weren’t above breaking the law in order to enforce it. They were justified because after all, they were the good guys.

Many a person was lynched because the vigilantes determined the law against murder had been broken. Why waste time with a judge, jury and a trial? The 601 were only good guys wanting to keep their community safe and peaceful. If they stepped over the line, they only did so in the name of goodness and decency…Tell it to the poor bastards they left swinging on the end of a rope.

Those loud mouthed hooligans who disturbed the community’s tranquility might not have been hanged, but they received warnings to leave town or else. Or else meant the hooligan had lost the freedom to come and go as he/she saw fit. Not by any judgment in a court of law, not even because he/she was cooling his/her heels in the local jail. The vigilantes limited the hooligan’s constitutionally guaranteed right to liberty in order to maintain law and order and peace and decency. Why not? They'd already denied the man swinging in the tree his.

Historians can surmise some names of the vigilante groups, but not all…Not really so proud of their own lawlessness, the vigilante 601 hid behind anonymity and masks.
