			<description><![CDATA[Hi all,<br />
I think it goes without saying I'm a huge fan of paranormal investigations, and I think it's pretty cool that there are teams in this area.  It seems a lot of the investigations aren't all too recent? Please tell me these teams are still active...<br />
<br />
In any case, I'm in Helena and it doesn't appear that many (if any) investigations happen here, but I think they should! <br />
<br />
I have lived in a home built in 1886 for most of my life and have experienced, and heard of several experiences here.  I just got a new job and found out a co-worker used to live here and she said they had named the ghost Harvey.  He would make clinking noises in their bedroom until they moved to another room. And he hated pies.  Our cats sometimes have 'episodes' where they'll just sit at a particular closet or room entrance (the same room the co-worker moved out of!) and just growl and hiss though there's nothing (alive) in there.  We recently got in touch with the descendants of the family that first lived here, and they sent us pictures of the family and the house from that time. I've since become somewhat obsessed with this house, and am very interested to see if a team would want to come investigate here, as I would myself but am too scared to do something wrong and invite unwanted spirits or something (knowing my luck!)....<br />
<br />
So, let me know what you think!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Do you know of any good articles that talk about detecting portals and vortexes and what to do if you suspect a place has one. We did an investigation where one of my team members feels a certain window in this house may be a portal. The hallway with the window feels oppressive and it gives the resident a headache anytime he spends time by that window. Also, one day when he came home he found the window to be broken. He said it looked like someone had taken a suction cup, attached it to the window and pulled (from the inside) until it shattered. He lives alone. We took EMF readings but they were low and didn't fluctuate. <br />
The investigation was interesting though. We did an EVP session in the hallway and also used the KII meter which was flashing to yes/no questions until the resident walked in and then it ceased. Strange. Down in the basement we did and EVP session and heard a faint sound of a door creaking shut. We all dashed to where we thought we heard the creak and even though there were doors in that room we couldn't duplicate the sound. We also checked upstairs doors with no success. We did get the creaking on the recorder but no other EVPs.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Fort Peck Summer Theater]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello.<br />
<br />
I grew up in Glasgow MT.  Did some work for the Fort Peck Summer Theater.  I hoped my music teacher with the play sets for the shows, and also a stage hand/carpenter.  Was built during the 1930's for entertainment purposes for the workers and families that built the Fort Peck Dam.  Many big name people in the Hollywood came up to put on shows/plays.  To this day, plays are put on but locals, and professional actors/actresses. <br />
<br />
Back in the 50's, there was a man named of Fred.  He was the janitor/electrician.  He was 100'+ one day changing lights and fell to his death onto the chairs where the audience sits.  Fred's spirit is still there.<br />
<br />
An old teacher of mine fell backwards on some steps, and something caught him and brought him back to his feet.  There have been multiple sightings of a "blue light" seen from the windows, front area, and stage.<br />
<br />
My experience is quite radical.  I was finishing up one night setting up the stage, when I looked out in the seating area.  All of a sudden, the house lights came on.  There is only one place to turn them on, and that is the main controls in the upper stage right of the seating area.  The front was locked, so I was thinking someone stuck in the back.  I yelled up there, but no answer and no person.  Then the lights went out, and saw the "blue light" shoot across to stage left and disappear.  To say the least, I got the hell out of there.<br />
<br />
Fred is friendly, and a man who gave his life to that theater.  May he continue to serve it, and the people who go there every year to keep the name of it alive.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Strange Lights, Disembodied Voices Plague U.S. Marines at Haunted Outpost]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Found this on paranormal news very interesting but no desire to go investigate.<br />
<a href="http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/12/strange-lights-disembodied-voices.html" target="_blank">http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/12...oices.html</a><br />
<br />
timesonline - The Marines found the bone as they scraped a shallow trench. Long, dry and unmistakably once part of a human leg, it was followed by others. They reburied most of them but also found bodies. Three of the graves were close together; in another was a skeleton still wearing a pair of glasses. The Marines covered the grave and told their successors to stay away from it.<br />
<br />
Observation Point Rock sits a few hundred metres south east of Patrol Base Hassan Abad, where a company from 2/8 Marines has been stationed for the past seven months. It is a lonely and exposed outpost 20 metres (65ft) above the surrounding landscape, which has been in Nato hands since it was captured from the Taleban in 2008.<br />
<br />
Groups of Marines are posted to guard it, usually for a couple of months at a time, and “the Rock” has acquired a peculiar reputation. American troops widely refer to it as “the haunted Observation Point”.<br />
<br />
It is hard to say how much the 100F (38C) heat, round-the-clock guard shifts and months spent living in trenches and peering out of sandbagged firing points have gilded the legend of OP Rock. The only break from the tedium, apart from dog-eared magazines and an improvised gym, has been small-arms or rocket-propelled grenade attacks from the Taleban, usually on a Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
But as Sergeant Josh Brown, 22, briefed his successor when a detachment of men from Golf Company was swapped for an incoming contingent from Fox Company, he warned of the strange atmosphere and inexplicable phenomena that plagued OP Rock. “The local people say this is a cursed place,” he said. “You will definitely see weird-ass lights up here at night.”<br />
<br />
Others in the outgoing unit had reported odd sounds. “It is weird what you hear and don’t hear around here,” he added.<br />
<br />
Each successive detachment that guards the Rock appears to add its own layer to the legend, which has spread through the Marine units pushing into southern Helmand.<br />
<br />
There is talk of members of the Taleban entombed in caves below; the bodies buried on the summit are identified confidently as dead Russian soldiers from the ill-fated Soviet invasion.<br />
<br />
Corporal Jacob Lima’s story is the latest addition. One night he was woken by the sound of screaming. It was Corporal Zolik, a Marine who has since been moved to a unit farther south. “He was yelling and begging me to go up to the firing point he was guarding,” Corporal Lima, 22, told the men taking over from him. “When I got there he said that he was sitting there when he heard a voice whisper something in his ear. He said it sounded like Russian. He begged me to stay in there with him till he was relieved from guard duty. After that he really didn’t like standing post up there.”<br />
<br />
The Marines’ predecessors, a unit of Welsh Guards, also produced tales of the unexpected. “The Brits claimed to see weird things, hear noises,” Corporal Lima said. “Lots of them said it’s creepy at night, especially from midnight till 4am. You see a lot of unexplained lights through night-vision goggles.”<br />
<br />
Its elevation has clearly made the Rock a natural defensive position for centuries. It is not a rock, though it resembles one. Medieval arrow slits and the remains of fortified turrets on its eastern flank show that this was once a large mud fort that collapsed in on itself and was probably built upon in turn. The locals say that it dates back to Alexander the Great, and another similar structure is visible in the distance to the south, part of a supposed line of such forts built at some point in Afghanistan’s history of invasion and war.<br />
<br />
When US Marines seized the post last summer they dropped a 2,000lb (900kg) bomb on one side, collapsing part of the structure on to what its current occupants claim was a cave where Taleban fighters were sheltering.<br />
<br />
“This place really sucks,” said Lance Corporal Austin Hoyt, 20, putting his pack on to return to the main base. “The Afghans say it’s haunted. Stick a shovel in anywhere and you’ll find bones and bits of pottery. This place should be in National Geographic — in the front there are weird-looking windows for shooting arrows. You know, they say the Russians up here were executed by the Mujahidin.”<br />
<br />
He looked meaningfully at his successors and prepared to leave.]]></description>

<a href="http://www.paranormalnews.com/newslink.asp?id=7826" target="_blank">http://www.paranormalnews.com/newslink.asp?id=7826</a><br />
<br />
stuff - Wellington film-maker Peter Jackson says he saw a real ghost once.<br />
<br />
In London for the premiere of The Lovely Bones - a film he has directed from Alice Sebold's story in which a murdered teenage girl gives her viewpoint from heaven - Jackson said he did not know what a real soul was like.<br />
<br />
But he told Britain's Channel 4 TV that while he could not swear the spirit in the movie was 100 percent accurate, he had seen a real ghost.<br />
<br />
"It was genuine," said Jackson, who made a 1996 ghost movie, The Frighteners - co-written with his wife Fran Walsh - starring Michael J Fox.<br />
<br />
His sighting was in an apartment he and his wife had in Wellington's Courtney Place opposite the St James Theatre, when they first met 20 years ago.<br />
<br />
"I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room, she was very scary, she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old," Jackson said.<br />
<br />
"It was terrifying actually, a very scary image and she was at the end of the bed and she glided across the room and disappeared into the wall.<br />
<br />
"I sat in bed and thought, have I really seen that?" said Jackson.<br />
<br />
"Then Fran came in. I told her about it and the first thing she said was: 'was it the woman with the screaming face?"' he said.<br />
<br />
"Fran had seen the same woman in the same room about two years before."<br />
<br />
Jackson said that when the St James Theatre was being restored a few years ago, people talked about the legend of the woman who committed suicide after being booed off the stage after a bad show in vaudeville days.<br />
<br />
"They say she manifests herself in the theatre with a screaming face. Sometimes she's seen - the same ghost. She needs to learn to smile a little."]]></description>

stuff - Wellington film-maker Peter Jackson says he saw a real ghost once.<br />
<br />
In London for the premiere of The Lovely Bones - a film he has directed from Alice Sebold's story in which a murdered teenage girl gives her viewpoint from heaven - Jackson said he did not know what a real soul was like.<br />
<br />
But he told Britain's Channel 4 TV that while he could not swear the spirit in the movie was 100 percent accurate, he had seen a real ghost.<br />
<br />
"It was genuine," said Jackson, who made a 1996 ghost movie, The Frighteners - co-written with his wife Fran Walsh - starring Michael J Fox.<br />
<br />
His sighting was in an apartment he and his wife had in Wellington's Courtney Place opposite the St James Theatre, when they first met 20 years ago.<br />
<br />
"I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room, she was very scary, she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old," Jackson said.<br />
<br />
"It was terrifying actually, a very scary image and she was at the end of the bed and she glided across the room and disappeared into the wall.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I see a lot of photos of so called orbs these days.  It's funny how I almost never hear stories of people actually seeing them with their own eyes.  It's always energy that supposedly shows up on film but isn’t seen by those present.   <br />
One of the most prominent paranormal events that happened when I was a child was an “orb” that came to my room at night and would talk with me.  Well… it didn’t really speak;  I can only say what my interpretation was of what it wanted.   I would guess it occurred many nights until I was maybe 7 or 8.  It seemed to be solid, about the size of quarter with a black dot in the middle.  It hovered near my closet door and would come toward to me and back away as I whispered to it.   My impression was that it was unhappy, demanding really, and wanted to know what I and the rest of my family did when we left the house all day.  If I refused to speak, or if it didn’t like the answer I gave,  it would fly toward my face and I would squeeze my eyes shut and say “ok ok” and then tell it what it wanted.  I can't say if I was correct in what I thought it wanted to know, it could very well have just been a childs best guess at the time.<br />
<br />
Because of that experience I wonder if what I saw was a true orb and the others in photographs are just mistaken identity.  Mostly dust.  Or was what I saw something more special and rare?  Has anyone else had, or heard, of a similar experience?  <br />
<br />
And yes, there were many other occurrences of the paranormal.  Some say they saw an old woman in a white dress with blue flowers in the house.  But I never did.]]></description>
