In the case of an Intelligent Haunt, is consciousness a direct, 100% transfer, or survival, from its living source? Or do thoughts get jumbled and confused? Do memories get lost or wiped clean? Do emotions become uncontrollable or erratic? This article discusses the possibility that the transition from a living consciousness to a death-surviving consciousness may not always come without damage, loss, or degradation.

We've added two new articles to the Ghost Vigil Learning Center, and both of them are in the Debuning 101 sections.

Well...for 2 years, we've steered clear of a lot of Ghost Vigil clothing. A couple of us have a GVI hat. A couple have GVI shirts. But really, when we go on investigations, we dress in street clothes. But with winter here, we decided to work on some GVI jackets. I mean...why not?

I'm of the belief that most paranormal investigators and group believe that we are at the pinnacle of paranormal knowledge. After all...its 2008. How could we possibly know less than what they new in the 1900's...or even the 1800's?

But the fact of the matter, is that we are so distracted with photographic orbs (dust), and EVP's (amplified audio artifacts and background noise), and setting up our DVR camera systems...that we don't spend the time really learning and exploring our the theories behind paranormal phenomenon and manifestations.

And thus...the Ghost Vigil Paranormal Library. Here's the books available to you so far:

We use the term "Pareidolia" a lot on our website and in our investigation reports. It comes up almost whenever we are analyzing our evidence, whether its our photos, our video, or our audio.

We rarely bring in new members, due to fairly low turn-over within our ranks. We're lucky to have the knowledgable and atable staff that we have! But occasionally, someone shows the right combination of dedication, activity, personality, and insight...that we feel comfortable welcoming them into the group as a Reserve Investigator.

We don't accept applications for Ghost Vigil membership any longer, and haven't for about a year now. With most investigations numbering 6 to 10 investigators and an established and stable staff of 10 or more people already in place, you can only accept 2 or 3 new investigators a year (depending on turn-over.) But we were getting 2 to 3 applications a week generating a lot of needless work for us...and a lot of disappointment for the applicants.

Ghost Vigil Investigations is not a club. We don't even have regular meetings! Everything we do it aimed at investigating the paranormal and helping people afflicted with the paranormal. So we can't absorb more members or investigators than serves that purpose. We once climbed to 25 investigators, and it was unwieldy and administratively a mess.

So when people ask to become a part of Ghost Vigil, I always tell them the same thing:

We are behind, and we know it. Believe me, that we know it! We have been incredibly busy...and we've fallen behind on completing our investigation reports or summaries. But we've begun the process of catching up. Our first results?

Well, we've completed the Offutt House investigation report by completing the Strange Events section of that report.

If you'd like to see how much work we have to do to catch up...just visit the Our Investigations section of our website. There are two columns. One is labelled "Completed Reports" and the other is labelled "Catching up." Over time, you'll see one column shrink and the other grow!
