As my readers know, this blog is primarily devoted to things outside the mainstream. Up until now, most of the posts have dealt with conspiracy theories, apocalyptic scenarios, and geopolitics. It is my intention to still cover these topics because it is important to know what is going on behind the scenes so that we can be ready for what is to come in the future, even if we can't know what that is with any degree of real certainty. While we speculate, we will continue to build our library of stories, news, and research into the Paranormal realm.

Currently I am looking for funding to start a new paranormal research society or paranormal research group which will go out and actively seek to conduct paranormal investigations whenever and wherever paranormal phenomena are to be found. Thanks to the popularity of shows like Paranormal State, the paranormal is moving into the mainstream. Other shows like Ghosts Hunters are now among the most popular video chronicles of paranormal investigators going out to investigate paranormal activities and hopefully gain video and picture evidence of hauntings, poltergeists and the like. Many of these groups use specialized paranormal investigation equipment that is supposed to detect the presence of paranormal activity. As is the case with the Penn State paranormal research team, sometimes paranormal research and defense against entities encountered in such research also becomes necessary. This site will now begin to move in the direction of these shows in helping to broaden our understanding of the non-material world.

As a result of this new focus (it's not really new; I have intended this all along, but have felt compelled to focus on current events due to the dire state of our world and political scene), I will now be looking to network with other paranormal research groups and teams whether they be ghost hunters, psychics and futurists, or simply those who have an interest in such things. My desire is to obtain the necessary funding to purchase the necessary paranormal research equipment in order to begin investiations of ghosts, poltergeists, shadow people, orbs, haunted places, and so forth. Because I have another job and am not financially independent enough to commit to this full-time, I will ask you to be patient until the full transition can take place. I will be seeking out government grants, small business loans, and possibly interested benefactors who wish to further this field. My qualifications for leading such an organization, I think, speak for themselves, but I should list them here so that random readers will know that I am not a random whacko posting in cyberspace with no real investigative knowledge or no background to run the paranormal research society as a business:

I currently work in the financial sector but also continue to teach part-time as a college professor as I have done for the last eight years. I currently hold a bachelor's degree in history and a minor in religious studies, so I am no stranger to research. Furthermore, I have a Master's Degree in the area of religion as well. I am currently just shy of a Ph.D. in history but have put that on hold due to other familial and financial obligations. I have won a number of awards for my scholaship and have taught history, religion, and philosophy for the last eight years. Now that I've "tooted my own horn", let me move on to a brief plea to all readers. If anyone has a story they'd like to contribute, knows of possible funding sources, or wants to put me in contact with other like-minded individuals or groups, you should email me at:
