I like it for the most part. I think Ryan (isn't that his name?) can be a little over dramatic at times though. I bet that the production company has them play up a lot of that stuff for TV though. I actually run my own paranormal group and I know a lot of groups don't like the show, but I find it entertaining.

melrobsings Contributor

oh my goodness! I'm a psychic for a living! What do you do with your paranormal group?

Yes, I think Ryan is a 2 act play sometimes and they play up stuff.

Why are other groups not liking the show? I think we all can take something from it, weather you are a believe or not.

My group is the Open Original Shared Link, we do investigations and research in and around Northern Utah. We have an investigation scheduled for this Saturday. It's such a blast! From things I've read on various paranormal message boards is they don't think that they do very scientific investigations, and that everything they do seems to be demon related. I don't know, I like the show. It's not as good as Ghost Hunters, but it's good in its own way. But I like everything paranormal, lol.

Have yall ever watched American Haunting?? That is a great show if you want to get freaked out! It is on Discovery or Discovery Health. I love it!

melrobsings Contributor

I have seen both those shows! Have yall seen A Haunting? I think it's A&E as well....SCARY!!!

Yes, I do find it odd that all of them are demonds but I love that they show how easy it is to get ride of them and ESPECIALLY how addictive EVP is. I do think all of these shows are great learning tools to some extent.

I also love watching Psychic Investigation. I really want to get into more crime work but it's not easy in NYC to get into it. Morrisun, do you guys have a web site? What's the most exciting thing you have found?

Yeah we do it's Open Original Shared Link We don't have much of our evidence up right now. We had some member issues and decided to make a fresh start in 2008. The most interesting thing we have found so far was probably at Fort Bridger, WY. We didn't catch it on video though. We were in the officers quarters and we all heard footsteps upstairs, however there was no one up there.

You guys have a GREAT website! Let me know if you ever come to the NYC area! :)

I spent a night on the Queen Mary about 9 years ago. I can't TELL YOU how many ghosts we ran into!! I thought "oh there can't be THIS many on here"...WRONG! I found 2 kids, on was turning a door knob and the other was around the pool area. Those were the only ones I could really get a good grip on. I ran into others but was freaked out cause it was night! :lol: I'm still scared of the dark!

There is a ghost in my dance studio and he loves to play with the studio dog in the theatre area of the building.

I have also been to the Whalie (i butchered that spelling) House in San Diego and found a dog there. Also smelt a womans scent and cigars.

I should look to see is there is an NYC group....

Morrisun Newbie

Thanks for the compliment on the site, I try really hard. It's funny 'cause I've been this close to both the Whaley House and the Queen Mary and I've never been inside either!!! LOL

I'd love to make it back to the East coast to investigate. I have family in Maryland and have been to a lot of the haunted locations in the Maryland/Pennsylvania area but I've never investigated. I'm sure New York has a ton of places! I actually know of a guy who was in a group in New York, I'll see if I can find the name for you. I think it is Open Original Shared Link.

That was a Central NY site, I'm in the city. I would love to know the name of the site if it's not the one you already shared!

The Queen Mary was really cool but I do say stay the night, it's really cool and fun. I worked on cruise ships for 3 years and let me tell you we had a nice cabin on the QM but it was A SHOE BOX compared to my crew cabins on ships! I didn't see anything at night on the QM, during broad daylight I did see things.

There is a TON of stuff to find in MD and PA!!! We drove through Gettisburgh and some other huge civil war town. I didn't like what I felt and I just told my mom, I don't like this, can we leave? We didn't stay long and I was glad. It felt like a ghost town and just "not right" you know?

I did find a paranormal group through meetup.com and I'm going to one of their meeting is mid Feb...I just hope it's not all those wanna be psychic freaks and it's people who are ACTUALLY INTERESTED in FINDING information! You know the type I'm talking about? They are like vampires and they suck the energy out of you cause they are just trying too hard!

There is a small pock hospital on a little island between queens and manhattan called Randals Island. It's closed and gated off but you are able to get through and to it. My friends have been during the day and said it's REALLY cool just to see it. It's mostly ruins now but I am going to make a trip out there once the weather get better...so like...June?! lol

melrobsings Contributor

crap, i forgot.

YOU DESIGNED THAT SITE!?!?!?!?!?!?! WOW!!! It's a really wonderful site and you have a very good talent! CONGRATS and good for you!!! Very user friendly too! :)

Morrisun Newbie

Thanks! I know what you mean about Gettysburg, it just has a totally different feel to it, and I'm so not sensitive at all! I sent an email to the guy and asked him if he knows of any groups in NYC, so I'll let you know. :)

He said he's sorry, that the only one he knows of is that one I already posted. But here is one I found, you might want to check them out.

It's nice to see the paranormal come up everywhere.

That is a very nice site Morrisun. Do you have much experience when it comes to photographs (and authentication/explanation of)? Or does one of your colleagues?

Melrobsings ... I think free readings for all your forum friends are in order! ;)

Definitely share similar feelings for Ryan and Paranormal State. I think most of what he says about his experiences are pretty much true, just embellished and exaggerated. I really love the show too though. My two favorites so far involve the young boy who picks out the dead teenager he claims to see from a photograph and the episode about the younger girl who has a female ghost visitor (she saw the bruises on the spirit's neck).

If you guys like to listen to podcasts or shows on your ipod/mp3 player, check out our blog and show at

Open Original Shared Link It is professionally produced, so sounds very good. The blog has consistant entries of recent topics and events. It covers all things paranormal! :blink:

Thanks Rocco!

I have a little bit of experience, mostly with EXIF data. A guy in our group is pretty good at it though. He's our major photo debunker/analyzer.

I'll have to go check your site, looks interesting! Let me know if you want to exchange links!

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
