“A Ghost Hunter without Mediums is like an Angler without Fish”
Hans Holzer
Considered the Grandfather of all Ghost Hunters, Hans Holzer (1920-2009) believed that “the purpose of a paranormal investigation was twofold: 1) to establish facts of the phenomena, and 2) to make contact with the alleged ghost.” So unless you are sensitive yourself, the chances of seeing an apparition are nil and therefore lies the importance of a medium being present during the investigation. Going one step further, an investigator should use any and all tools necessary to aid the investigation, including EMF detectors, cameras, recorders, AND Mediums. The object here is to validate your evidence with all the tools at hand and Mediums are tools, specialized tools but tools nonetheless. And quite frankly, if a medium can point me in the right direction and I can capture physical evidence because of their assistance, then I have met my burden of proof and the number one objective: establish facts of the phenomena. Further, Mediums also assist in researching a supposedly haunted site giving investigators information into the site’s history, helping to pinpoint the era with events that happened in the past in addition to names, dates and specific details that not only help the investigator’s research but also helps validate the client’s experiences.
As for making contact with the spirit, a good Medium can be quite handy in giving the investigator an edge to finding out about the entity that is haunting your client’s home or business. Some people believe that a paranormal investigator must be psychic in order to hunt of ghosts. This couldn’t be further from the truth and anyone who believes such is either naïve or unenlightened. It is not necessary to have psychics/sensitives present to conduct an investigation and many groups including CCPI have operated successfully for years without them. In fact many groups operate purely from a scientific standpoint and do not believe a Psychic or Medium is required. Whatever the reasons, each group has their own guidelines, structure and methods, and it works for them.
Regardless of methods, Our priorities are universal and clear: Establish the phenomena with facts and hard evidence and to assist the client in understanding and validating paranormal phenomena.
While I would never suggest complete dependence on Mediums for paranormal investigations, I would certainly advocate for both the scientific and metaphysical methods being applied. I have always believed that the two can work together, hand in hand, complimenting each other and filling those areas where the other leaves off. One caveat, one method must never overshadow the other and balance must be maintained at all times: not an easy task but at this stage and in my opinion, it’s all about taking the paranormal investigation to the next level and expanding the paranormal investigation of including psychics/sensitives and mediums is that step.
To that end, CCPI has now included a psychic unit consisting of five (5) mediums, psychics & sensitives of all abilities and stages of development.This unit will assist in the scientific investigations as needed and will also be instrumental in teaching and educating themselves and others to develop, understand and control their own gifts. They will also be available for lectures, workshops, conferences and presentations.
I would like to introduce the newest members to the Central California Paranormal Investigation team:
