A Paranormal Investigator Explains Spirits And History Part 2

A paranormal investigator explains spirits and history again. What if the best ghost gear fits in your pocket and costs less than dinner? We sit down on part two with Mike, a thoughtful, no-drama investigator, to unpack how real-world paranormal work actually happens: simple tools, clean methods, and evidence that means more than a TV jump scare. From K2 meters and $15 DIY REM pods to disciplined baselines and clear yes-no tests, we explore how to ask better questions and spot patterns that hold up after the chills fade.

The conversation travels through Jacksonville’s Beekman House, a remarkably intact Victorian home where sorrow has a setting. Mike shares footsteps captured in a roped-off room, a persistent heaviness on the staircase linked to a mother’s lifelong grief, and holiday tours where history seems to breathe. We widen the lens to Victorian mourning customs—covered mirrors, black crepe, and intricate hair jewelry—as a cultural backdrop for why certain places feel charged. Along the way, electricity keeps showing up: brand-new batteries draining fast, three distinct taps on a high window, and personal “impossible” moments that land like a message when you need it most.

Can you investigate at home? Yes, if you keep it respectful. We talk phone-based EVP sessions, cautious use of apps, and why intention matters. We also draw a firm line at Ouija boards—not out of fear, but because an open conduit without guardrails isn’t good practice. Mike explains how he sets boundaries, closes sessions, and leans on protection—prayer, clear language, and a personal talisman—to avoid hitchhikers. It’s an honest, practical roadmap for curious skeptics and quiet believers alike.
