The McNutt House in Vicksburg, MS

Sometimes MGCP does more than just investigate. Sometimes we're lucky enough just to have some fun! 

Earlier this year held a double adventure for MGCParanormal.org. 

Not only were we invited to accompany Geek-O-Nomicon 2015 to the Twisted Carnival Red Carpet Event, the screening of indi film THE DOCUMENTARY OF OZBO THE EVIL CLOWN, an additional treat was that the screening was held at The McNutt House, reputedly THE most haunted house in Vicksburg, MS!

MGCParanormal.org actually spent the night inside the McNutt House, where we privately investigated the stories of its haunting!

While there we had a great visit with Lost History Paranormal of Vicksburg, MS. We want to send a special shout out to Tre, one of their members, for the wonderful welcome he gave us. MGCP Team Members Bobbie and Lois loved  investigating with him as the resident child ghost, Maggie, revealed herself at her favorite play spot! We got some cool hits with the K-II's and temp guns in answer to questions during EVP sessions, and MGCP Team Member Terry captured some great evidence with the thermal video cam during the late night investigation in the house itself! 


Julie of Geek-O-Nomicon 2015 participated in that indoor session, and we thoroughly enjoyed her assistance. Even if one of the resident ghosts made its way through our rooms, one by one, startling us awake early the next morning ....

Julie also had her own encounter during a scheduled public investigation that involved the Civil War soldier whose grave is in the McNutt House courtyard , with photographic evidence!



MGCParanormal Team Member Deb kept us all organized. But we admit to doing anything to be on the receiving end of that smile!

We even got to ride on a float during Vicksburg's Mardi Gras celebration. That float won a trophy for Best Throws thanks to Martha of MGCParanormal providing a massive quantity of beads, Julia and Ian of Geek-O-Nomicon 2015 providing cool frisbee throws, wrist bangles, and beads, and Lois providing genuine Voodoo dolls! The crowd loved everything that came their way! (If you want your own Voodoo Blessing Doll visit our on line store! http://www.mgcparanormal.org/mgcparanormal-store.html) Enjoy a couple more pictures of our time there. You can tell we had fun. 

Yes, MGCParanormal is going back to do a private, in depth investigation! McNutt House is definitely going to be included in our book of southern haunted places!

Will Paranormal Investigation Ever Become a Recognized Science?

PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION AND SCIENCE

Paranormal investigation has long been considered a "fringe" effort, and hardly a science. Add to that the negativity of show hounds out to sensationalize and take 'hooey' to an entirely new level---no matter how entertaining it may be---their actions haven't done serious investigators any favors. 

We are in no way disparaging those out there with true gifts; they exist and do much to aid us at times. An example of the unhelpful type would be those in the company of ones who tell visitors to Marie Leveau's tomb to "make a wish, spin around three times, spit, knock three times, then kick Marie's vault five times".  Kick someone's resting place?? Really? Not a single word of that ridiculous instruction is based on Marie's Voodoo practices. And how would they feel if strangers spent the day clustered around  the family grave site, impersonating Whirling Dervishes, spitting, banging, and kicking their mother's tombstone? Have to admit a part of me gleefully fantasizes a scenario where Marie jumps out and kicks them back five times. Then once more for good measure. Now THAT would be nine kinds of entertaining!

It's that type of utter disrespect toward the deceased that raises our ire. It pushes us to remain professional, respectful, and employ logical testing processes to debunk or prove what we find. 

In recent years paranormal investigation is slowly being aided by the realm of science in the form of technical tools, and with these tools is gaining credibility. When people come at me with derision or denigration, I remind them of Ptolemy and Galileo. Ptolemy was the mathematician who first put forth the theory of the galaxy and rotation of the planets in set orbits around a single celestial body.  Brilliant fellow, Ptolemy. And he almost had it right.

But then came Galileo who had the nerve to suggest our galaxy revolved around the sun, rather than the planets revolving around our Earth as Ptolemy’s theory set forth. (We sure are a self-important bunch, aren’t we?) Poor ol’ Galileo suddenly found himself imprisoned by the Church for heresy. Had to be rough on the old boy to serve prison time, particularly with his being right. All the while publicly labeled a non-believer and heretic by the Pope. Now we would never in a million years compare our efforts or ourselves to Galileo. We only wish we had his mental capacity. But if such a misunderstanding could happen with someone as brilliant as him, it could happen in other situations. All we ask is that you keep an open mind. Knowledge increases every day; even if it makes us uncomfortable at first

 And I can’t help it, that whole Ptolemy and Galileo thing keeps hovering at the back of my mind . . . .

Is there another ghostly world around us? We investigate because we want to find out. 

Happy ghost hunting from all of us at MGCP!
