Viral photo of demon is just a Photoshoped tree

Have you seen this picture that is supposedly a demon or as people say it might even be an angel? It was taken by Richard Christianson in Laveen, Arizona and is currently a really high ranking hoax in the paranormal world.

The photo seems to show a shadowy figure at first glance that a lot of people say resembles a demon. Other people have said the apparition seems to resemble an angel.

I believe the photo is just a palm tree with its top cut off via photoshop.

What do you think?

The photo has been shared more than 86,000  times on social media.

Ghosts at Jefferson Park in Mesa Arizona

Jefferson Park at 306 S. Jefferson in Mesa Arizona has a few ghosts that wander around it but most notably is the woman with the red T-shirt. She roams from tree to tree at the park located two blocks west of Broadway and power Road. She has no idea that she's actually passed on so her spirit has not yet been set free. She only roams the park for about 45 minutes approximately 11:15 PM till about midnight which is during the timeframe in which she was raped and murdered.

Another ghost who frequents the park is actually friendly spirit named Juan who died of a heroin overdose about 10 years ago at the park. He loves to lay around in the really grassy areas and just to watch people throughout the day. I have attempted to help him move on but unfortunately, he still has some unfinished business and is unwilling to let go of some of the love ones that are still living among us.

If you have the time I can recommend this park as a beginner spot to hunt for ghosts. Just be sure to follow the Parks curfew.

The Haunted Kreischer Mansion

This mansion is the paranormal hotspot located in Staten Island at 4500 Arthur Kill Road is inhabited by several ghosts and two lower-level demons. It has been out for yourself and on able to find a buyer since the spring of 2012. The three-story mansion both a 4,500-square-foot floor plan circa-1885  and originally hit the market at the low price of  $11.6 million, and eventually dropped all the way down to $8.5 million in August when it's gruesome history finally has the Internet.

 It wasn't long before the paranormal activity inside of the Kreischer Mansion increased due to the increased interest of local ghost hunters and paranormal researchers. Not long ago, very gruesome mafia hit job took place inside of the home giving the already spooky mansion an even more infamous reputation. According to legend during the late 1800s, quite a few séances were held inside the mansion in an attempt to contact the spirit of a Kresicher family member who died surrounded by mysterious circumstances. The very first séance was a complete disaster inviting two demons into the home.

If you're looking for a beginner to an intermediate location to look for some decent paranormal activity I recommend looking into visiting the Kreischer Mansion if you have the opportunity. However, be sure to burn some sage around your body after leaving the property so that nothing ends up following you home.

Is Ghost Adventures Fake

Not a week goes by where I don’t receive some type of e-mail asking me if Ghost Adventures is fake or is the evidence that the Ghost Adventures crew presenting as physical evidence actually real.

Unfortunately, this is an easy answer. But if you forced me to give you a simple yes or no my answer would be yes it’s fake but not entirely fake. You see shows like Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters and any other paranormal show only stay on the air if they get ratings so from time to time some of the evidence may have an explainable answer or worse yet some evidence may have been conjured up or doctored in order to make it seem as if you’re viewing something supernatural.

One thing to keep in mind is that Zak and Nick have both gone to film school and know how to manipulate viewers. Baking is something subtle as lighting or just changing the tone of their voice in order to make your mind jumped to a conclusion they want to see. Next time you watch Ghost Adventures people account for how many times the guys become overly dramatic because after all, they have been doing this for a few years so they shouldn’t always be scared by every little thing that goes bump in the night. Also keep track of what you’re watching and watch for clever video editing techniques which become more obvious if you watch the show via DVR and play a scene back a few times.

Do I think is wrong that the show has some fake elements to it? Not really. You see shows like Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters do something that most of us in this field cannot and that is bring the paranormal phenomenon’s to light and get other people talking openly about experiences they themselves have had. The more people talk the more data experts are able to collect which will allow for some answers to things we can’t currently explain someday in the not-too-distant future.

So next time you see Zak with his tight shirt and spiky hair on the Travel Channel it’s okay to be skeptical about what you view because in all likelihood some of it isn’t exactly what you’re being told is however be sure to keep an eye out because I am certain some actual evidence will manifest itself on a television near you. After all these shows are just there to make money for the network with advertisers and because it’s not PBS ratings do matter.

World Trade Center Ghosts Part 2

We’ve been getting a lot of e-mails from people who are working at the newly reconstructed World Trade Center which coincidentally today became the tallest building in New York City at approximately 1250 feet. These e-mails talk of spirits being seen by extraction workers and security guards.

From what we’re told that during the construction people screaming, crying and the sound of footsteps running were commonplace at the site. While other people working there have said just seen shadow people and other apparitions appear and then disappear rather quickly. With all the debts and emotions that are linked to this site there is no wonder that is happening but what I’m finding to be rather ironic is with all these reports we have yet to see a video of any of these events with our own eyes. So if you have experienced any of this phenomenon there please let us know and e-mail us your footage we’d love to share with others in the paranormal and ghost hunting world.

This is actually a sensitive subject with many people myself included because I did lose several friends at this site on September 11, 2001 so I do ask that any videos you do submit or any comments that you happen to make on this website in regards to the World Trade Center site or September 11th, in general, be respectful and tasteful or they will not be shared. Thank you, I hope to hear from many of you very soon.

Orbs interdimensional vehicles for the soul

f you would ever encounter an actual orb then you would have just come into contact with an interdimensional vehicle for the soul. These orbs were known to the Egyptians as “sun boats” and even spoken of in the Bible being referred to in the Old Testament has “Merkabah”. In fact, if you recall in (2 Kings 2:1) when Elijah is taken to heaven by a chariot of fire this reference is actually a perfect example of a true orb. Orbs, after all, are how a soul gets around the earthly dimension once it’s physical, maternal life has ended.orbs-real

Real orbs can not only be seen they can be heard as well. The sound a make is a super high tone that is almost like a squeal inside of the head. While you may not hear it when you see an orb any audio playback should easily reveal an orbs sound.

Orbs are able to assume many appearances including globes, globules, balls of light and even hovering round fiery balls. The range of their illumination varies depending on spiritual strength but they tend to either be bright glowing like fire or dull and even gray.

They always tend to appear approximately eye level and are erratic in their movement. If you were to videotape one they would clearly do things which an ordinary piece of dust or ambient light could not easily replicate.

In my lifetime I’ve probably looked at a few thousand hours of video and nearly a million or so photographs of what people thought were actual orbs and I can honestly say I can count on two hands the amount of times an actual orb phenomenon has actually been presented to me. With that in mind when you’re out on a ghost hunt make sure that you’ve taken the time to debunk any other possibility before you claim an object is a true orb.

Haunted Superstition Mountains

The Superstition Mountains are the subject of many legends, myths and so many details of the paranormal along with hauntings it’s hard to keep track of all of them. One thing you definitely need to do before exploring the Superstition Mountains is to make sure you're in decent shape and bring along a guide because regardless of whatever else you believe about them these mountains are dangerous and often times deadly with many lost souls who have died in them.haunted superstition Mountains

When you think of the Superstition Mountains most people think about the Lost Dutchman Mine and all of the gold that Jacob Walz supposedly pulled out of this place. Many men have lost their lives looking for this cursed gold mine and I’m sure many more will probably die in vain victims of this treacherous mountain. The main reason for all of these tests besides difficult to manage terrain and excessive heat is for hundreds of years now the Superstition Mountains have been considered sacred by a few different Native American tribes.

Now I’m sure in the olden days some of these deaths were a result of people trespassing on Indians lands I also firmly believe that there is something to the whole these mountains are a haunted theory. Now I’ve seen ghosts before in the past but twice now during my visits to the superstition Mountains I’ve seen something that I don’t know how to explain I just know there is no possibility it was a living person or a human’s ghost. What I saw there was something around 7 feet tall and had the head of a black panther and also had wings on his back along with very long claws upon its hands. This entity walked upright yet it left no tracks and made no sounds except for a high pitched humming noise.

Now in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains and within a mile or so of Weaver’s needle you may come across the spirits of many deceased prospectors still trying to find the lost Dutchman mine maybe 50 to 100 years since they passed away.

If you do visit the Superstition Mountains make sure that you take plenty of water and plan accordingly because on top of a lot of paranormal activity occurring here this place is probably one of the most deceptively dangerous places that you can visit on the face of the earth. Good luck with your ghost hunting and if you do visit the Superstition Mountains let me know what evidence you find if any. Keep it spooky— The GhostMap team
