The paranormal is and will always be my reality. I do not live and breathe it, but its existance is always near me and always reminding me of why I answered the call to walk this path.
I have been experiencing paranormal activity even before I knew what it meant. Events happened to me when I was young that always made me question the world around me. "Why am I experiencing these weird feelings, was that really a ghost, how come no one else is reacting to them?" This need for answers followed me into my teenage years especially when I started to develope psychic skills. My thirst for understanding made me question my religion and after a while and a painful process I found a religion that answered a lot of my questions.
Thanks to Paganism and Wicca becoming a lot more popular and acceptable, others have been able to create books about their own happenings and journeys. As well as creating schools that allow others trying to learn, such as myself, and study without harm. Through one of these schools I learned about the Chakra system and how it relates to your health of spirit and body. Keeping your Chakras cleansed will allow you to have a healthy life too. I can go all day into this so I will save that for another time.
After I studied more about the Chakras and began to cleanse mine on a weekly basis I started to notice a change in my perception of my surroundings. I noticed I could detect negative energy. Very strongly too. I could detect it in people, houses, and places of work. I could detect positive energy too, but a lot of people carry more negative than you would think. When I would come in contact with negative energy I felt a world of PAIN! I had no clue what was going on and would have a hard time going to places, such as Wal-Mart and big places like that. I figured it out real quick and learned to protect myself.
As my life progressed I noticed that my spiritual path would lead me to places where I was needed. In May of 2008 I was brought to San Antonio, Texas because of my husbands job and a week later I went searching online for a ghost hunting group.
I happened to of found one and they became good friends at the time. I took to ghost hunting like a fish to the water. It became an obsession. My extra perception helped me to know if a spirit was near me and what kind of energy it contained. Other members of this group realized I had a special niche for understanding energy and they suggested I use dowsing rods and then another member created a pair for me. As I progressed as an investigator, working with the dowsing rods became my forte and through my successful use of them, the rods became popular in the group. But like any good obsession you become so immersed, you will do everything and put up with just about anything to have access to it. Well one day my reality became very clear, something was not right...
After a year I realized that I had a different idea of how ghost hunting, and paranormal investigations should be conducted. A few people in the group had the same feelings as me. Once we all realized just how similar our ideas really were, we decided right there and then it was time to create our own group.
And that is how the Association of Metaphysical Paranormal Investigators was born.
This is a brief understanding of how James, Nikki, Don, and Myself all came together to create this Association.
Everyone has their own story.
Please come back and take a look as Don, James, and Nikki give their story of how they came to be part of this association.
