Hi Karyn - Very nice to make your acquaintance! I am enjoying Varanormal and will be glad to learn from all of you. I'm entering into research on other aspects of ITC that go beyond EVP for my second book I am writing and will be pushing the boundaries this coming year. My first book is very close to completion, in final edits, and will be out in early 2023.
Yes on rich terrain - I live 9 miles from where the 49'er gold rush began in Coloma, California in 1848. El Dorado county is part of the "Mother Lode" country, and I live in some very haunted country.
Absolutely agree on work, but as I am retired now, writing and investigating are my work! I am so glad to be out of the spacecraft propulsion business. I did my 30 years and it was time to move on. -- Jon

Hi Jon,

I look forward to your book.  The sad part is that most people have kept this type of information to themselves for fear of ruining their reputation.  Oh by the way I am used to US- centric viewpoints.  I have found in my rather longish life that few from the US travel outside so they tend to have of course only one view. No offense taken, I just wanted to let you know that different countries may have other ways to search.

Yes, getting back to knowledge of what we accept it is really only tentatively coming out of the woodwork peoples "hidden history".  Mostly it has happened due to high profile people having nde's.

Few Americans know that Lincoln was a spiritist and one could argue to some degree was a medium.  Few still know that the oration for his funeral was delivered by non other than Emily Hardinge Britten.  People still argue today that they did not have seances in the white house.  Of course most know that Nancy Reagan would do nothing until she daily consulted with "the afterlife".

Even one of our sayings makes sense when you hear how it came about.  To get into a funk, came about because even though he knew he was being untruthful I think it was about Emily French he lied to keep his reputation.

I applaud your work not for the faint hearted but oh so needed.  I would advise you to have a look at the works of N. Riley Heagerty or the website of Victor Zammit which is massive and historically based.  https://victorzammit.com/

Glad to have you on board.

Blessings

Hi Karyn - Oh yes on the other ways to search. I've done extensive research on some of these folks, like Raudive, Dion Fortune, and many others who lives have touched aspects of EVP and ITC. Finding details of their final passing and burials could be hard to locate and I found a lot by using Google website translation to search foreign sites as well. It's been a labor of love to find much of this for my research. I'm having a heck of a time finding more on what happened with Marcello Bacci. I know he died recently, but there is nary a word about the circumstances and place of his burial. I do plan to cover him in great detail in my second book.
LOL on worrying about reputation. I was an information scientist for a lot of years in the aerospace business and I could care less what the conformists think. Being retired makes it all that much easier to say what I really think. The way I see it, the ITC pioneers went through far harder stuff than we ever have, so the least we can do is to be as up-front about our views as we can be and honor their work in doing so.
I had known about Lincoln and Mary Todd with their Spiritualism connections, but never have looked into in depth. I will likely put some effort into following that up in book 2. Yes on the Reagans... I was a teen when Reagan came into office and remember the field day the Press had with Nancy's metaphysical leanings. Never mind that most of the Press have metaphysical lives as well that they keep secret.
I will look at N. Riley Heagerty. I have used Victor's site in references for my current book and he is truly one of a kind. I will say this: Even though I've been recording EVP for better than 15 years, when I started this book last year, I had NO idea how little I knew. It has been a humbling experience to dive into all of this.
Appreciate your kind reply and will be a regular here! - Jon

I've been trying to post a video with no luck. Here it is. I have no idea what it is. (It's not lightning.) Thx

Your video is showing fine here Charles, where did you wish to put it.  I think you are correct it looks like lightening.  Great capture, hard little fellas to get a good shot.  Well done, try and put it where you wanted it as you have succeeded here.  If you still have problems get back to me.  Cheers Karyn

I was so intrigued by your email I checked it out on a science page.  Initially I too thought lightening does not go from ground up but it appears to be normal.

Does lightning strike from the sky down, or the ground up? The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts.

The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts. Objects on the ground generally have a positive charge. Since opposites attract, an upward streamer is sent out from the object about to be struck. When these two paths meet, a return stroke zips back up to the sky. It is the return stroke that produces the visible flash, but it all happens so fast - in about one-millionth of a second - so the human eye doesn't see the actual formation of the stroke.

So I can say I have learned something important today.  Thank you.

Thanks Karyn! Not sure why the "kdawg528" is given, I didn't sign up with that name at all...lol. My name is Kevin, and it's always great to be involved in real ITC research and interactions with others in the field. Bless

Kevin Himes

lol, how positively weird, oh well it is in the right place to be not normal I guess.

I have attached a screenshot of what I saw and responded to  AND in any event you are most welcome.  Being a gemini I am used to dealing with "personalities that I show" so why not for others.

sorry forgot the second screen was on

Thank you for the welcome Karyn.

I wasn't around much yesterday, but I hope to spend some time here this afternoon browsing the forums.

I was recommended to your site by a contact on Twitter - We've some experience with the I.T.C. world and certain devices, but limited experience with video feedback loop (or similar), so the Spiricam program is of interest and, we look forward to working with it.

Kind Regards

Mark,

Thanks for finding this. I did a little research (what do they say, a little knowledge is a bad thing) and "HEUR" means heuristic, or the malware detector is suspicious, but it doesn't know for sure. That is, it's not an exact match to any known malware.

My program is written in Python, which means it uses a lot of support libraries from other authors. All of the packages, were installed from either Ananconda's main channel or their "experimental" channel conda-forge. Anaconda's developer (Continuum.io) is a commercial entity, so they must have some incentive not to allow malware to pass through their archives. 

I've used Anaconda/Python at work without incident for several years, but you never know. So, I'll leave it up to the user to decide. I can only assure you that my code has no ill intent.

Hi Michael, thanks for replying.

That's how I read the situation too, hence the false flag reference.

Happy to continue installing (and my journey), just thought it safe to check.

Thank you again.

Kind Regards

Hi Karyn,

thank you very much for the welcome. Unfortunately, my English is very bad, so I have to have everything translated by Google. A performance will therefore be difficult to read for the other members.

Greetings Rosamina

Rosamina, 

Lol, I tell you anything but English I would share would be very bad.  I live with Google translator. 

Blessings

Karyn

Hi Karyn, that comforts me a lot now! *smile* Wish you a nice day, best regards Rosamina

Hello Karyn,

Thank you and it’s awesome to be around like minded community. I look forward to sharing and growing with this group. Is there options for membership growth paid/unpaid to further my contributions to Varanormal? Wishing you and your family good health and safety during these interesting times.

Best Regards,

Nick

Thanks!

bonjour à tous, voilà maintenant plusieurs années que je m'intéresses à la TCI et que j'aime exploré ce domaine.

Hello everyone, I have been interested in ICT for several years now and have enjoyed exploring this area.

Yes, welcome Fernando!

Welcome Indeed! From one Fernando to another 

Hello love,

Thank you so much. I came across your website just recently through facebook group. 

I am Ayesha from India. I have been into paranormal researching for the last two decades and also have been a spiritual mentor, healer, author and TedX speaker.

I do have a following in facebook as well as a website revolutionoflight.com

I have always been intensely interested and researched many methods of communicating with spirit and validate the said results with my spiritual abilities.

I would be very happy to be part of this community and contribute in any way possible along the way.

Once again, thank you and I am humbled.

Would love to hear some of your many ways of communicating, do you use mechanical devices or is it more mediumistic.  Karyn

Gracias por tu bienvenida, karyn. Confío en poder aportar mis experiencias en materia de transcomunicación instrumental, para que juntos podamos avanzar en los contactos con el "mundo siguiente ". Resido en Madrid (España) y me gustaría que el Foro en español pueda estimularse de manera activa con mis aportaciones. Saludos a todos y todas.

Thank you for your welcome, Karyn. I trust to be able to share my experiencias over ITC, in order to avance, joint with you all, in the contactos with the "following world".

I am living in Madrid (Spain), and I would like that the Spanish Forum could be stimulated with my contributions. Greetings to everyone.

Cabrerizo.
