Grand Tour

Articles I am setting up the trip for the final week of September to do the grand tour of the Southwest. I'll be meeting up with various groups and investigators as I tour, so it'll be a great experience to head down through Arizona and up into Nevada.

So far, we've planned the following sites and locations:
  1. Sites around or near Phoenix, Az.
  2. Tombstone, Az.
  3. BisBee (probable), Az.
  4. Greer (probable), Az.
  5. Prescott, Az.
  6. Sedona, Az.
  7. Rachel, Nv
  8. Death Valley Junction, Az.
  9. Goldfield, Az.
  10. Virginia City, Az.
The plans and dates will finalize soon, but I am in the process of advertising the trip and will seek to hook up with other teams and just have fun on the trip.

Bodie and Masonic

ArticlesJuly 30'th: Our new "old" truck was heading down the highway. We had a leaking right-rear tire, an all too-hastily packed truck and we left far later than we had planned. It was myself (Jon), Renee and Karen heading into the fast approaching twilight as we finally pulled into Bridgeport at about 7:00 PM with little time to find the camp of Masonic.

We refueled and then followed the map coordinates and general directions to find the dirt road to take us into the outback and we quickly found the first deserted mine structures with plenty of open mine shafts and tunnels. There was a rather stale feeling to the place and we have yet to analyze the evidence from that stop, but we did get good photos and enjoyed wandering amongst the timbers, feeling the air from the open mine tunnels with blasts of wind so cold it made you shiver in the warm desert air.


We continued on, in a race to beat the twilight and finally had to make a choice about going forward of following a road that was not described in the map. I trusted my instincts and soon, we had found our destination. Masonic was before us with quaint little structures and we camped in a wide spot in the road to get a good view of the night sky and to do our investigation for the night.


The plaque describing Masonic read as follows:


Although Gold was discovered here in 1860, it was not until about 1900 that Joseph Green staked the Rich Jump Up Mine. On the fourth of July, 1902, J.S. Phillips of Pittsburg, with partners J.M. Brian and Caleb Dorsey made an exciting find and called it the Pittsburg Liberty to honor  a birthplace and a date. Fraternal background determined the name to be attached to this camp, which eventually evolved in three sections knows as Lower, Middle and Upper town. By 1908, Masonic promised to be one of the major mining camps of the West. But the yellow metal followed no pattern. Rich pockets were found and exhausted. Then Phillips broken body was found at the bottom of a shaft. Was it a slip or, was treachery afoot that night? The ghosts of Masonic have many secrets.

Plaque dedicated September 12, 1970. Bodie Chapter of E Clampus Vitus. Mono Country Board of Supervisors.

Bodie Beckons

ArticlesOn July 30th and 31st, GRI will be undertaking it's second mission for July at the Bodie State Historic Park as well as staying in an as-yet undisclosed location to conduct an evening investigation.

This will be a three person investigation but tag-alongs for the Bodie day hunt are fine if you wish to meet up with us there at the Bodie State Historical Park.

Bodie was a very strong location for us with a number of apparitions seen in the day time along with many good EVP captures picked up with our team when we visited the location in June 2009.

Check the evidence from that mission at:

Ronnie's Holistic Health and beginnings...

Articles I'm writing about some old connections from WAY back when and hoping this article puts me in touch with old friends should the stars line up. ;>)

1987 and I was fresh out of having had some mild heart troubles that left me wondering what things were all about in life. And I lived near a little store complex that exists to this day in the town of Shingle Springs, California.

Every time I'd go to the post office, I'd see this store called "Ronnie's Holistic Health" and it just kept calling to me. There was something there that just struck me about the place.

So... one day, I plucked up courage and entered this place and found a playground for my mind. All sorts of metaphysical books, strange crystals and rocks and of course, very smart and intellectual people.

Panda ran the place, a big bubble-headed woman with a giant blonde hairdo with purple eyeliner that made her stand out and she was truly beautiful. Skye, an older woman with great intuitive gifts worked there in the beginning days and there were so many others who I came to know as the years passed.

That is where I learned much of what I know about the spirit world today and all too suddenly, in the early 90s, it came to an end. Panda packed up with her husband and moved to Oregon and we lost touch. Another owner bought the store and it promptly went downhill and ultimately was bought by another lady who renamed it and then stayed there for many years until selling it to another gal and now it looks as if that store may or may not be around long. Given this economy, I'm not surprised. People are focusing in essentials, but I'm wanting to preserve and remember this bit of the past and to ask those who may remember Ronnie's Holistic Health to get in touch with me.

Black Chasm cave analysis underway

Articles Those of us who visited the Black Chasm caves in May are now engaged in analyzing and readying the case report for that case. We will be presenting the results of that case in the next couple of weeks and will visit the cave complex again to potentially investigate it further as well as a potential campout in the vicinity of the complex.

More to come as we progress on the analysis!

July 4'th Paranormally Awesome Griddle/Grilled Burgers...

Articles I usually publish paranormal articles here, but today, I'm posting a recipe I use for great burgers. Today, I saw a similar recipe on a news site and it had a couple of items I never thought to add in, so I'm posting this to share with interested people.

For one, adding water to the meat beforehand to moisten the meat and the use of a griddle INSIDE the barbecue to add a new means of cooking the other ingredients all in one place!

So here is the new recipe for Jon's Paranormal Burgers ;>) Try this out before July 4'th and I guarantee you you'll love the result ;>)  You'll definitely want to use this for the July 4'th holiday!

Why here? Why not! Even the ghosts will approve of this sacrifice to the hamburger gods

Spooky Spirit Tesla Radio project - Ancient electronics meets modern day computer technology

ArticlesThe Spooky Tesla Radio is a project I've seen off and on at the "Instructables" web site at http://www.instructables.com/id/Spooky-Tesla-Spirit-Radio - and it appears to be a take off on some of the older EVP crystal radio method using what is called a "Raudive Diode"

We are looking at building one of these and using specialized software called Total Recorder to give this a try and see what we think of it.
