Haunted objects....not really.

My husband and I were watching Haunted Collector last night. It is like a train wreck. You don't want to watch, but you just have to. We sound like those two old men in the balcony on the Muppet Show when we are watching, and we are usually doing something else at the same time (Matt was making beaters, and I was doing all kinds of running around the house).

When the one client said he had swords from the Crusades, I thought...yep, you are gullible, you have just the right people investigating your house. Swords from the Crusades, really? Let's see that would mean they are worth millions a piece. Sell them and buy an "unhaunted" house.

When they ripped up his carpet and started making all kinds of noises about what was painted on the floor, I looked at my husband and said "This should be good, that is a positive symbol". It was, but they tried to make it into a positive one that was used for bad.PULLLEEEESE. Stop already.

It is amusing to me on one hand, but on the other, I think of all the people out there hungry for info that are hearing this crap and taking it to heart. I can't stand fakes in any way, shape or form.

Can objects be haunted? I wouldn't call them "haunted", but they hold energy. EVERY object holds energy, good, bad and indifferent. People with higher, more vibrant energy (good or bad), impart more of it on their surroundings. Psychics with the ability call psychometry can pick up the object and "read" it. Circumstances imprint more energy too. Objects will be able to absorb more from high energy, high emotion, places and people, just because it is there to be had!

Now, should you start selling family heirlooms, throwing out second hand items and list all your antiques on EBAY? No, of course not. I said to my hubby last night, if all that stuff is so haunted in John's basement, the house should be rattling off the foundation. Don't toss or sell items that
you have , second had, old, used....keep them.

When you get an EVP, at a location and that is about it, the house is far from haunted. If I went to each and every house in my city, I could get an EVP. There are spirits all around us, all the time. Guides, family members checking on us, old energy in residual form, and yes, haunting ghosts. An EVP plus an heirloom does not a haunting make. Many of these people aren't living in a haunted house in the first place, so removing an item just leaves it as NOT haunted as it was to begin with.

There are so many people who get into ghost hunting and see "evidence" around every corner. I am the opposite. I KNOW for a fact that there are hauntings, ghosts, spirits (good and bad), energetic phenomenon, all over the place. But I also know that the popularity of ghost shows has made people see "evidence" like so called orbs, shadows, and mists that are quite ordinary.

Now, I want to shift to another topic from the show, and add one more very important note. The cast of Haunted Collector SUPPOSEDLY found a Native American knife buried under the floor of an old factory. When you find such an item, you don't get to keep it. You notify authorities. It goes to the local tribe, an the site is investigated (it may be a burial site). You don't just dig up stuff, take it to your museum and complete construction/destruction. That being said...the Native Americans did not make metal knives that are cut and shaped for the handles before the 1800's. It was touted as a "scalping knife".  The people of the time had knives. They didn't have a butcher's block in the kitchen of the wigwam with 14 knives in it. They each had a knife. It served many purposes. The women had different knives than the men,for different purposes, but they didn't run around with several in their belt, and one specifically for scalping. My people scalped with an axe /tomahawk, or used knives they took from the British. They would scalp you with a sharp rock if they felt like it.

Either way, it was a disaster. You never dig up and take NA items. You never continue work on a site where they are found until an inspection is done. Any for goodness sake, not every house that has issues (or not) is haunted by an object. That is about the rarest form of haunting, yet Haunted Collector seems to find them every week.


Please just watch this train wreck for entertainment purposes only! 


Quality above quantity....remember that Sy-fy.
