Paranormal Investigation Group visits Ritzville

 

Last updated 12/15/2016 at Noon



The historical attributes and buildings in Ritzville drew the interest of the Spokane Paranormal Group as they traveled through icy roads and deep snow to educate the community on their services and findings during recent investigations.

Lead Investigator Kiko Morelan, investigator Scott Mercer and psychics Jane Stewart and Stacy Moore attracted residents to the Ritzville Public Library to learn about the team’s ghostly adventures and the equipment used to gather evidence.

Morelan began by explaining the team’s goals when investigating a possible paranormal situation. As a licensed business, the team is focused on providing their clients with an accurate depiction on the strange phenomenon taking place in their home or place of business.

From moving objects to apparitions, Morelan said they have seen and heard it all. Despite being obvious believers of paranormal events, she stated the business requires the team to keep an open mind to whether they are dealing with an actual haunting or something completely unrelated.

“Paranormal is a mystery. There are too many things in this world that are unknown,” Morelan explained.

She said the team spends a lot of their time “de-bunking” client’s photographs, which claim to have captured an image of a ghost orb.

A ghost is thought to be the souls of people who have passed, Morelan explained, but most of the time these “orbs” are actually caused by the camera’s flash or a reflection.

There is also no scientific proof stating orbs exist, and she said the team has yet to witness one to prove the theory.

Due to the advancement of photo editing applications, Morelan said they receive a lot of fake photographs. The team will only investigate a possible paranormal situation if the client claims to have personally witnessed an event, she explained.

Before each investigation, Morelan said the team does extensive research on the history of the area or building in order to determine the spirits that may be lingering or haunting the clients. She then will have a psychic do a distance view on the area.

Stewart said these distance viewings include her observing the area from afar to see if she can detect any spiritual activity and determine the spirit’s purpose for being there. As a psychic, Stewart said she is able to see entities and communicate with them through her sensitivity to spiritual beings.

Prior to the distance viewing, Morelan and a psychic will do a walk-through of the area with paranormal equipment. Morelan said the psychics benefit the investigation by drawing the spirits in through their abilities to see and communicate with them.

During the investigation, there is a variety of equipment the team uses in an attempt to record accurate data.

When conducting an investigation, one really only needs a flashlight, a voice recorder, a full spectrum camera and a K2 meter, she explained. Morelan said she will ask the spirit to turn the flashlight on and off while recording the voice activity of the room.

Using the K2 meter, the team is able to detect spikes in electro magnetic energy the spirits give off. The full spectrum camera has the ability to show the entire spectrum of light in a photograph, which is where a spirit is most likely to be seen.

Morelan emphasized the fact the team cannot force a spirit to make it’s presence known, making the outcome of investigations at times inconclusive.

Although there may be no activity from the spirit during the investigation, this does not mean the client does not have one in the area.

The team makes their passion for paranormal investigations clear by providing their services free of charge to clients. Most people who contact the team are desperate to clear their homes or businesses of these entities out of fear, and the team is more than willing to ease their client’s minds, Morelan stated.

Being in the paranormal business, Morelan said the team is faced with a lot of skeptics who claim their posts and findings are false or edited. These claims do not discourage the team as they enjoy their work and understand their data does not appeal to everyone, she explained.

“We are not here to prove or disprove anything. We are doing this for our own interest and posting what we find,” she explained.

For those who do believe, Stewart said one must be careful when dealing with entities. Like people, there are good and bad entities with likewise intentions, she explained.

Entities are commonly drawn to energy, so when investigating a paranormal situation, Stewart said she will look for who or what the entity is drawn to. People who claim to be able to see, hear or feel entities or spirits are classified as “sensitive”, Stewart explained.

Spirits often do not stay in one place, said Stewart, they are attracted to like energies and often jump from person to person. Stewart said she has had her own experiences where entities from an investigation would follow her home.

Before the presentation, Stewart said she and Moore witnessed multiple entities in the Ritzville Public Library. Among these spirits they saw a woman dressed in old time clothes and children running through the aisles of books.

The team has investigated many sites such as the Idaho State Penitentiary and the St. Ignatius Hospital in Colfax.
