A sneak peek of the U.S.S. Hornet video from the Admiral's quarters on 4-20-2012

A re-analysis of this early case found several EVPs embedded with the camera audio. This is a great video and we re-cut it so that it is more polished and provides a sample of some of the thoughts as we go forward with investigations in the future with our video...

My father recently passed away and I remembered the video we did with my mother and Spencer Hughes at our house. I'm now doing EVP work to get into contact with Dad and will be sharing the captures with everyone in the future.

For now, enjoy this classic video of my Dad. We miss you Pop - love you... Jon

GRI is looking for 2012 cases to investigate, starting in April. We have a couple of day investigations on the table, mainly near the Bay Area and also some local classic sites for training missions to get out team back in operation. If you have a great case to share with us and want us to investigate your haunt, contact us!

Training mission: April 26th, 11:00AM Pioneer Cemetery - bring your camera, voice recorders and smiles. Two hour hunt. The purpose is to show people how to do EVPs and do a meet and greet ;>)

Members Wanted

We are reforming the team and are open to new investigators joining us. We tend to do small team investigations and avoid large and confusing gatherings that often produce limited results. Contact us and tell us what you would like to do. If you are a past member and wish to rejoin, contact us and we'll bring you on board

We're set to go for the 9/17/11 case. Case number 09171101 is now official and we're good to go. Final details being worked and the team is assembled. Check the Facebook group for GRI to get the case specifics and pre-review details. So far, we have 7 investigators lined up. We'll be posting a few more public details before the official case date, but want to be sure to confirm here that this is a GO.

We are BACK with fresh blood, healthy people and a killer case.

We'll be looking to do an October case soon after this one. Contact us if you have a good case for us to work!

Alert - All current and former members are welcome to join us for the September 17th investigation. So far, we have 4 members attending. Team meeting will be done on September 10th in Folsom at Mimi's at 5:30PM. We'll cover the game plan, go over equipment and have a great lunch too. If you can't make it, let me know and we'll cover things by phone! - Visit our group page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/ghostriderparanormal/ to keep up with the latest news on the case.

I'm a lucky man. As founder of GRI, I've had the chance to do some amazing ghost hunting over the course of six years and have had good luck with amazing haunts, great spirits coming through on EVPs and lots of good friends and memories made over those years.

WIth the family issues surrounding my Dad's stroke, I have had to steadily tone down the number of cases and investigations our team works on. It has been a very challenging year with Dad and essentially, we're treading water until things change with him.

Investigation of the Other Side is great since the folks we talk with are dead, but the process of the leaving this Earth is a much more daunting thing and my personal GRI mission right now is to be a good family member to my father, who, through no fault of his own, had this terrible thing happen to him. My sincere wish has been that the Other Side and the Powers That Be remain at our side as they have been and to help our little family through these difficult times.

GRI will continue, but with very infrequent cases through 2011 and into 2012. Since I haven't done any cases since fall of last year, I decided to start doing a few solo investigations and will invite select friends to do some EVP work in the field for research purposes. Tonight, I'm going to test the waters on my own property with regard to spirits we've been seeing over the past couple of months. Our property has long had spirit energies on it and many of our family members have had unusual experiences here. Much of the latest activity seems to center on the main ranch house and thus I'm going to do a few sample EVPs to see what we get and treat my own home like any other GRI case.

Missions for Midsummer to Fall

We're going to go forward with guest investigators and put a scratch team together to get the our cases going. A lot of paranormal teams are in tatters with the economy the way it is going. GRI is no different at this point and we're essentially a one-man band again, so we'll work with other teams to keep things moving or guest investigators who wish to do interesting case work for the sheer joy of it and the love of the subject.

I'm pushing for a revised list of three cases for the summer and fall - These are all do-able and within the realm of achievable, so I'll get some dates together as of this revision to this article (Early June) and get things moving. Now that I'm case manager again, I'll be getting some firm dates in place and we'll go for 4 investigators maximum for the following cases. I'm also doing a research case in July/August at Folsom lake and want to test some new gear with a volunteer to assist if someone is up the that.

1. Naval Hospital Investigation (planning underway).
   
2. Masonic Lodge overnighter.
3. Coastal Campout - Site to be selected - Haunted of course.
   

Each of these missions will take at least 3 people to achieve and likely more. Guest investigators are welcome from other teams. More as our plans solidify.

We'll do a facelift on the front page with new graphics for later in the month. New engine installed + upgraded and we're good for 2011!
