Guardian of the Dead

Crows and Ravens are always in the cemetery.
They have a job that is not of our physical world.
They are sentinels, guardians of the spirits.

This little guy was frozen on a headstone in an Edmonton, Alberta cemetery. I got so close to him, I could feel his feathers on my face. Then I started to take photos of him (I did ask his permission) but the close up ones didn’t come out too well. He would NOT leave that headstone. It’s like he was waiting for someone special.

The Welsh thought that Ravens were portents of death while the Indigenous Native Americans saw Ravens as a Trickster and The Stealer of Souls. The ancient Greeks and the Norsemen had them in their religion and also used them for divination purposes.

When we go to the cemeteries in different parts of North America, the UK and Europe, I always see crows and ravens. And always in odd numbers. They are highly intelligent and remember if you have done something negative or positive in their presence or to other crows and ravens. They have always been very nice to me and I love seeing them.

The Arlington Apartments

Arlington apartments, 10524 100 Ave NW, Edmonton

Built just before WWI in 1909, the Arlington purportedly housed Edmonton’s first serial killer James “Bluebird” P. Watson, who lived in the Arlington from 1914 to 1918, killing nine of his 20 victims during the same period. He resided in Suite 14. He ran a collection agency in Edmonton from 1914 to 1918. His love letters were found in a storage locker at the Arlington and were used as evidence in his trial in California.

In the 80’s, a group of practicing black magic witches allegedly lived in the building and were evicted from their apartments. A building supervisor was downstairs in the boiler room after the group left and apparently found little hex dolls of everyone in the building, with something personal from each of the tenants bound to the dolls. It was reportedly in a hidden panel in the wall. You wonder what they were so pissed off about or maybe they just had no sense of humor with their neighbours.

Ghosts of an elderly couple were spotted entering the elevator that sometimes didn’t work. They would enter the elevator and it wouldn’t go anywhere. When the doors were opened, no one was present inside. No one knew if they were previous residents or just a couple of fun elevator-riding ghosts.

The Arlington Apartments suffered a suspicious fire on April 5th, 2005 and eventually in 2008 it was torn down when it was deemed unsaveable. Since it was a historical building, it was very sad to see it go. I never had the chance to enter it, but I did take photos at night, and had some unusual phenomena. It felt as though there was a couple of beings watching through the windows. The hoofed beastie thing in the picture is just one of those odd spirits that could be there because of the negative witchcraft in the apartments.

It’s too bad I can’t find more information about Mr. Watson and his nasty activities. That’s a piece of history there should be more about.
We would have loved to be able to have conducted a paranormal investigation in the Arlington. I have no doubt we would have come up with some amazing stuff.

House in Penhold with Poltergiests

The Penhold Poltergeists
January 28th, 2009:

PenholdPhoneShotWe were doing an investigation in a house in Penhold where a couple and their 7 month old baby were experiencing some paranormal activity. They had been in the house for 5 months. It was built in 1980 but there was no history of former owners. Before the investigation, I had been called by the wife and told of paranormal activity happening and wondering if I could get rid of the spirits that were bothering her and her family. She noticed scratches, very deep, on her back which she couldn’t have made herself, and her husband apparently had not done it either. She could hear talking in her ear at night, crying noises from an adult coming from her baby’s room at night, and gross vomiting sounds. Black shadow figures were seen and she could hear something walking around upstairs when they were all downstairs.

April and I went around the house trying to pick up what energies were there. We picked up on 2 male spirits, very negative, involved in some nasty practices. I could feel a circle like a pentagram that had been marked on the laundry room floor and erased off. I picked up on the fact that these young males were torturing and killing neighbourhood animals, taking illegal drugs, and trying to find power in a negative magick practice. Namely, black. Oooh, bad, bad, bad.

April could feel the one spirit and she didn’t like it. She said he was peeking in the basement at us. I could see his image; he was tall and thin and very nervous (like a tweaker on meth), early 20’s, medium brown hair, no facial hair, jeans, army green colored jacket. He was scared of me and curious about what April and I were doing.

I was trying to pick up on the second spirit. April couldn’t pick him up. Then I briefly saw his image. I knew he was overweight, had a bit of a moustache and sparse beard, black hair, pasty complexion, sloppily dressed, but I was getting a cloud of black fly-like things surrounding him preventing a proper psychic view. Sort of like Pig-Pen on Charlie Brown. There was a grey ectoplasm around him with drug needles, animal bones, insects, and other unseemly items.

At the time of this investigation, only the husband was present with us in the house. Our infrared video picked up some spirit orb activity and also this weird ethereal ribbon-like anomaly. I have never seen anything like this in all the years we have been investigating. It was undulating as it was traveling.

The same moment April and I were in the basement in the process of removing the 2 male spirits, upstairs, the husband informed Ben and Matt he had 2 voice messages on his cell phone with no display number. The phone never rang and he was shocked when he retrieved the messages. He told us we needed to listen to them right away. The male spirits were trying very hard to scare the homeowner from removing them from his house.

The sounds on each message were unholy male voices screaming; each message a separate and different screaming male voice.

We did try to take into consideration that maybe some of this guy’s work colleagues were trying to play a trick on him. But the sounds are not physically human and for anyone to coordinate it with the exact time we were trying to remove the spirits would have been near impossible.

Before April and I heard these messages, we were still in the basement and I was trying to send the spirits into the light. The skinny one went into the light okay, I think he had always stayed because he was worried about consequences for the awful things he did when he was physical bodied.

These are the cell phone message recordings. 2 Messages on left on cell phone (MP3 898 KB)

The male spirits were trying very hard to scare the homeowner from removing them from his house. It didn’t work because the 2 spirits were sent into the light.
