FLORIDA GHOST GATHERING 2008

kpi2008 — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:07:04 CST

If you are a member of Kissimmee Paranormal Investigations please contact us at 407-396-7776 or email at info@kissimmeeparanormal.com to make arrangements to attend this years event do not contact hotel or SWFPI because we will be registering under one name and we also must make our list of whom is attending . Thank you !

The Florida Ghost Gathering 2008 "Networking Florida Paranormal Groups Together The Florida Ghost Gathering is back again this year! It will be held at the Heritage Hotel in St. Petersburg on June 6th, 7th and 8th. This event is being hosted by SWFPI of Fort Myers and S.P.I.R.I.T.S of St. Petersburg. Last year's event at the Clewiston Inn was a great success and the start to a very good thing for paranormal groups located in Florida. We were able to bring paranormal groups of all kinds together to meet one another, better network, learn new things, debate, and investigate and most of all-have a good time. As investigative groups, we usually find little time in our busy schedules to network in our own community and sometimes lose perspective of how large the phenomenon we are studying really is. We will continue the tradition with the 2nd Annual 2008 Florida Ghost Gathering. We are committed to bringing the Florida paranormal community together.

Speakers: This year SWFPI and S.P.I.R.I.T.S of St. Petersburg are working hard to prepare for this year's event. Thanks to S.P.I.R.I.T.S., we have secured Patrick Burns, host of Haunted Evidence and world renowned photographer, as a speaker. More speakers are to be announced soon. We would also like to invite other groups attending to contribute to the list of speakers. Speakers can choose most any paranormal topic and a typical session time allowed will be one-hour. If a speaker does not wish to talk one-hour, we will try to combine speakers with similar topics to fill the one-hour session. So, if you have someone in your organization that would like to share their knowledge of the paranormal and would not mind speaking in front of his or her peers, please contact us with the appropriate information (name of speaker, group, date/time desired to present, topic).

Investigation: In order to participate in the investigation(s), a guest is required to be registered guest of the Heritage Hotel. Both Friday and Saturday nights are scheduled for investigation. We are currently securing the attached hotel restaurant for investigation as well. We will have a meeting room lined with desks and chairs for those groups participating in full investigative setups. Please bring your power cords and plenty of video cord for your DVRs. This meeting room will have a lock so your equipment should be safe and will be a perfect place to "talk shop" with your peers.

Costs: The total cost per room will be $128.00. The rooms are typically $97.00 a night plus tax or $107.00. To cover the cost of the meeting rooms and to make sure a wedding, reunion, or some other event is not slated for the same time, we have secured all the meeting space within the hotel. This in turn, added to the cost per room. So, the extra $20 helps cover that cost. Also for those just coming for the day there will be a minimal fee. If we can decrease this cost we will or eliminate the cost entirely. We will update this information as we get closer to the event date. The price, at this point, will only decrease if we can fill all expected rooms as far as reservations for the event. You will not be required to pay until you arrive at the hotel's location. The final cost will be made known before the event. If you have 4 in a room, your cost will be $32 a person. And, 2 in a room will be $64 a person per night. We do not believe this is a bad price considering the beautiful location and we are committed to being as transparent about the cost as possible. We are excited to welcome all of you to this event as we continue to bring the Florida paranormal community together!

****DO NOT CONTACT HOTEL DIRECTLY YOU MUST CONTACT US IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND WE WILL HANDLE ALL ARRANGEMENTS *******

If you are interested in attending this event please let Rich and I know as soon as possible the rooms will be filling up fast. If you are interested in sharing a room or want a room to yourself you need to let us know. Contact us at 407-396-7776 KPI HOTLINE or via email info@kissimmeeparanormal.com.

Apparitions

kpi2008 — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:16:33 CST

Photographic Apparition

We all wish we could capture apparitions on every investigation but, we know sometimes this does not happen . Our group has encountered various apparitions some are clearly visible others are transparent to the human eye. Which is either captured in photography , on film , or with our own eyes.

We believe that some apparitions can make themselves visible by using the elements of the earth pulling partials from the ground to the atmosphere . There is so much that is unknown how these apparitions manifest . And maybe one day we can actually capture an apparition in the middle of manifesting itself so we can better understand how this becomes a human or animal physical form.

Apparitions are classified depending upon the actual events surrounding the past historical history of how they died. Each apparition that is encountered is different not the same they seem to be diverse as humans and animals are in life before death. As paranormal researchers we can divide each encounter into different categories that best matches the type of apparition that has been encountered and captured with photography or film .

There is information out there on different types of apparitions that you can read on then match to what was experienced during the time it appeared to make your decision and place into that category . And that being said as a new group we just want to remain on the same page as everyone one else in the paranormal community when classifying evidence , then presenting it to other groups or our clients by using the same terminology we can prevent confusion .

Our most common apparitions we have encountered are defined as:

#1 Photographic Apparitions: : These are ghosts that are not seen visually , but can be photographed. Most people are unaware that they have taken a picture of a ghost until the film is developed. The ghosts appear to be slightly transparent grayish forms wearing period clothing or commonly as bright white patches of concentrated energy. These are captured by everyday people and what we experience as paranormal researchers.

#2 Historical Apparitions:these apparitions are one step from an atmospheric apparition . They typically haunt older homes and appear in solid forms acting natural . They are always dressed in period clothing and do not speak , communicate, or acknowledge the presence of the living. They are seen more than one location of the residence.

#3Recurring Apparitions : These are ghosts that occur on a regular cycle over a period of time, usually once annually. This type of ghost sighting is one of the most popular. The date of manifestation usually occurs on an anniversary date or day of special importance to the deceased. These apparitions can include both ghosts of people or animals. Reports of ghost include individuals who have committed suicide , murder victims, entire armies from battlefields.

#4Family Apparitions : These spirits are attached to a particular family , They haunt every member of the family through each generation until the family line comes to a end. These ghosts include spirits of deceased family members and animals. The appearance of these ghosts usually signals that someone in the family is about to die. Usually there are no prior health problems until the phantom manifests, then family members suddenly fall ill or die or become the victims of some other untimely death. These apparitions are considered to be dark omens and are the hardest ghost to get rid of. Any attempts usually fail. They are not actually causing these deaths just foretelling them in an eerie manner. The only resolution for this type of a haunting is the end of the family line.

#5 Shadow people : are said to be shadow like creatures of supernatural origin that appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people's vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed shadow people are not reported as having human features, wearing modern/period clothing, or attempting to communicate.Some individuals have described being menaced, chased, or attacked by shadow people. There have also been reports of shadow people appearing in front of witnesses, of which they stay there or lingering for several seconds before disappearing. Witnesses report that encounters are typically accompanied by a feeling of dread.

I hope this is informative for those of you out in the field !
