The Paranormal Paradigm Shift
The word ghost is an idea, hope, suggestion and belief which has been around since the start of mankind, and is still a question asked today, do ghosts exists? Now we all can have a belief and an opinion, however a fact is that science hasn’t yet proved the word ghost to be a true theory.
Through the years many scientists have tested and spent a lot of time, some spent their life dedicated to paranormal research but where is it going today? is there real scientific research still been carried out?
The Victorian Era
The most interesting era in the paranormal is when people really did push the boundaries of the research and decided to “investigate” the claims people reported, it wasn’t a cool thing to talk about in this time period you would be ridiculed, laughed at, and called crazy.. as the scientists pushed the research to try and find any credible evidence that ghosts do indeed exist, a group of charletons emerged with an idea, TO GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR messages from the other side, after all it is a question we all try to find comfort in.
People would book to see “mediums” Psychics” Investigators” who was thought by people that they could communicate with the dead, pay them a handsome amount for a seance! where the medium would channel any spirit of their choice. This caught the eye of the sceptics and scientists, they noticed some unusual new activity. This was called Ectoplasum, coming from the mediums mouth, Tables levitating, light bulbs coming on and off to signal a spirit energy was present and real time spirit communication through the medium. This was all to good to be true!!! It turns out these people was tricksters, shams, who really did put alot of time and effort into an “ACT”
This act was exposed, and revealed on how they did everything, from the tables levitating, Lights turning on and off, the ectoplasum, it was all one big lie and one big hoax which indeed put the research of paranormal activity into uncertainty.
A few big high profile cases was next to appear which was to put the paranormal scene back on the map, Borely Rectory, Enfield Poltergeist, Ponterfact Poltergeist to name a few big cases which captured the media and public attention, yet again in every high profile case there was some element of fraud of confusion.
The way people investigated the old cases, was to have an experts specialised in a single field they was to use on their investigation like, Sound, Emf, Temperature, photography, and so on.. but sadly there was never no real evidence captured by the top experts of the technology used.
THE TV ERA.
Now moving onto the TV era, this is where the paradigm shift started to kick the field into a new direction, in my opinion a direction for the worse, Its safe to say before the TV era did come into play, there was private small paranormal investigation teams out there who did go to peoples houses, to conduct research and compile case logs, also there was “few” very few ghost hunting event company’s.. the paranormal research really wasn’t much of an interest to people.. BUT when it aired on TV.. Most haunted.. it really did boost the spark in peoples minds.. However this show was created to sell advertisement space and created for entertainment purposes.. they made ghost hunting look fun, and also scary at the same time.. it worked because of our will to believe in ghosts… and the show did soak up the viewers and peoples minds.. it made people want to go out and start their own teams, conduct their own research, but the problem is these shows wasn’t giving these people the real facts and the real terms to consider when investigating the paranormal.
More TV shows appeared, and so did more investigation teams, yet again spreading the wrong knowledge, Then came along MORE ghost hunting event company’s people who realise the public are soooooooooo interested in this stuff, they can make some buck on it. Yet again spreading even more wrong knowledge of the field, TV has turned this field into a Thrill seeking fun adventure.. there is a huge market and demand for a paranormal rush.. with the rise and fall of many ghost hunting event company’s, many people have jumped onto the band wagon thinking they can make money, on peoples interest of the paranormal.
From this we see, 1000s of pictures, 1000s of videos of non structured research, a barrage of tricksters on youtube making haunted house videos, Paranormal Web TV shows, the real research conducted by the private investigation teams is sadly overran by event company’s findings..from the guests who pay to go on these thrill seeking adventures, expecting to see a ghost, and communicate with one. Yet again ask yourself why are people expecting this? its how the TV shows are portrayed…
The question on my mind now is, Will there be another paradigm shift? is it possible? what other direction can it take? Or has the field suck to deep within the entertainment and thrill seeking field to be taken seriously again?
After all its a cool thing to be doing now! unlike the 70s and 80s..
There will be some event company’s out there doing this for the right reasons and trying their best to do “Real research” telling the public “the truth” behind the equipment and methods used. If you are one of them teams. Thank you for trying to restore order and educate.
Thank you for reading Lee Paranormal Magazine / Project-reveal / Project Paranormal.

#Exposed – Ultra Sonic Movement Sensor Ghost Hunting Equipment
Today’s exposure is in the equipment market of the paranormal community..
much of today’s equipment is actually really simple to make, and this device today is extremely simple and cheap to do it yourself.. This is how much you would be paying from a paranormal ghost hunting shop
so if you was in UK, this would cost you 100£ thats including the postage and packing which was £20.00 and on top of that you may have had to pay customs which would be around 30 – 45£ so a total of around £150 – 165.
Now im going to show you how to make this for under £20.00.
But before i do that, i want to put out a statement i actually blanked out the company’s logo who made this device, although i dont agree with this devices price, i do however like some of the equipment this company has got, i have some of it myself and i like it, “not saying it detects ghosts” Hell i dont even believe in ghosts… also this company doesn’t list this item no more on their website but it is found else where. But.. no equipment out there is 100% designed to detect a ghost because we haven’t scientifically proven ghosts to exists so its impossible to make any piece of equipment which does indeed contact something we haven’t even proven exists yet… all equipment out there is used based upon peoples beliefs and theory’s .
Back onto the device in question now! How do you make this unit then? SIMPLE…
Just buy a car reverse censor
here is a link, which costs £9.99
You get everything you need just about from that link, only thing missing now is a CASE, and Battery’s
Below is a link to a simple black ABS Project Box. £5.90 “the first one i found” This Should be big enough to stand on top of the Battery Box, Length ways, Stick down “2 Censors” One at each end of the Box, and Add the Display on the top of the box.
.
So there you have it! a simple little device, i hope this saves you money this xmas 🙂
If you like this exposure pleaseeeeeeeeee Re Blog and share 🙂 also comment thank you.
Paranormal-magazine Team.
UPDATE: Jeromy Jones contacted the magazine, with some more points of view, we feel are indeed worth sharing.
Being the owner of the company I can speak about this. What is not obvious is that we are adjust the internals of each sensor individually so they work in a small area. I was the first to use the sensors for the Paranormal and can tell you it has brought some interesting results. The comment is correct ultrasonic sensors should only detect solid objects but my results have shown otherwise. I have videos posted all over showing intelligent responses with the Paramid. What you are paying for is the design the calibration and the idea. Yeah you can go buy yourself a project box and throw it in there but you won’t get the same results and design is very important to me so that would look hideous.
I could buld the Paramid with arduino, two sensors a display and some minor electronics, however that would mean the price would double or triple in price. By using a simple backup sensor kit like you’ve shown above and doing some minor modifications to the transducer controllers and adding some resistors I can bring it to the public for much cheaper. It’s not as easy as just popping the kit in a plastic box and adding a battery. If you don’t take account in the amount of time it took me to test the system and get results and adjustments, or design time, there’s still 6 hours to print the unit, then hardware all the electronics instead of just plugging the kit in, your looking at about a 7 hour build time. For those that can’t build there own equipment, in my opinion, the price for the designs and functionality are fair. While we are located in the US, we do have a lot of friends outside the US and are proud to ship to them. While I understand the point of the article, I just want to make sure your readers understand what goes on behind the scenes.
Thanks again

Best paranormal tv program to contact regarding an experience
Do you have a paranormal experience to share and you are wondering who to contact, I hope this article is some use to yourself. Obviously the first place we are going to say to share your experience is with us paranormal magazine!!!!!! we will publish your stories and experiences on our blog page, and if lucky there’s a high chance your experience could appear in our Paperback Magazine.
Now to talk more about the title of the blog post, the reason for this post is actually someone managed to stumble to our website who asked this question, “Best paranormal tv program to contact regarding an experience” and i know we dont have a page which answers this question this viewer was looking for. So now you do!!! Tar Darrrr 😉
- To just share your experience for people to read about, I feel a TV program may not be your best option, I would recommend, submitting your story to a Paranormal Magazine, Blog, blogger, Forum or local paranormal website to where you are located.
- If you are seeking help from this experience the chances are you will not get a reply from a tv show, you are best searching up your local town and adding Ghosts at the end of it and see what it comes up with, or Paranormal Investigators “Rotherham ghosts, Birmingham ghosts, Rotherham ghost hunters, sheffield ghost hunters” you get the picture.
- If you are seeking to be on tv with your story.. Well this will be a long shot and will be a HARD challenge, you will need a very good interesting story, and the best way to go about it, is to actually write up your story and send it to some websites, blogs, Maybe invite a paranormal team to come and investigate your story if it revolves a spirit in your home, get them to produce like a documentary on your story and haunting, this is like a portfolio producers like stories to have some kind of a following or interest attached to them before they consider anything for a show.
- The Best Show to Contact? Well lets assume you have your story with alot of interest from teams and public, so now what TV show do you contact? What is the best like you searched?? to be honest the answer is there isn’t a best TV show to contact, my advice would be to try and pull up a list of all Paranormal TV shows UK, and USA, and simply start working your way down the list, contacting their official websites or try their fan page message button, And when you message, you will need to send them as much details about your experience with all the links you have accredited to the story, this will look good on your behalf.
I hope this helps you and your question.
Feel free to submit your stories with us at paranormal magazine tho, and we will gladly post them on our blog for all our amazing fans and followers to read! Thank you.

The Busby Stool: Story of The ‘CURSE Chair’ ‘The Chair of Death’
So yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the Thirsk Museum located in Thirsk in Yorkshire. Thirsk is a beautiful little town enriched with history and still remains its old cobble streets and old Georgian houses and cottages as shops and eating establishments, I was privilege to have an interview with Susan the owner of the museum who normally at this time of the year closes the museum to the public, only opening between the months of March to October.
My visit was to basically hear her thoughts of one of the museums exhibits that had been given to them during the seventies. The Busby Stool.
The Busby Stool also known to many as the ‘Chair of Death’ and the ‘Cursed Chair’ is allegedly a haunted oak chair and is said to be one of the most haunted items in the world.
It is said that the curse was put on the chair by the Murderer Thomas Busby before his execution by hanging in North Yorkshire.
Busby was arrested, tried and condemned to death after he murdered his father-in-law Daniel Auty in 1702. The execution’s site which was opposite and was renamed The Busby Stool Inn, it was said to be haunted by Busby’s ghost also but unfortunately the pub isn’t here to this day and a takeaway stands in its place.
Even though this isn’t thought to be the actual Busby Chair that Thomas Busby would have placed a curse on as it is believed this one would have been made around the 1800s , This chair has somehow been given the name and has been given the reputation of that the original would have had, as it has also been alleged to have caused deaths of those who had dared to sit within it at The Busby Inn.
It is unknown what may have happened to the original chair.
Two Young airmen sat in the inn one night daring each other to sit within the chair. Eventually one of them caved in and placed his bum within the chair for a second. On their way back to the field they both died in a traffic accident.
Post world war II a young builders apprentice died soon after having lunch at the Inn. His workmates had dared him to sit within the chair, which he did and later that day fell through a roof of a building and died.
A delivery man sat in the chair while it was stored away in the cellar after enquiring about the legend. He died in a car crash that evening when he lost control of his car and it crashed killing him sometime later.
Many airmen from the nearby airfield lost their lives after having sat in the chair. It was said all who did would not return home from the war.
A chimney sweep man who sat in the chair within the Inn after having a few drinks, left the Inn at some hour of the night/early hours of the morning and didn’t managed to get far. He was found hanging from a gate post next to the mock Busby Gibbet which is located next to the Inn. A report into his death decided that this gentlemen had taken his own life.
After researching it is claimed that between the two chairs they have allegedly caused up to 63 deaths, after speaking to Susan the owner of the museum she was unsure of this fact and told me the stories she had heard surrounding the chair and how it ended up being at the museum.
After interviewing Susan I did decide that I would do a echovox session just to see what exactly would happen. The thing that properly interested me the most from this session is that when i ask ‘ Is this Chair Yours’ and ‘Do you haunt this chair’ and it replies with ‘Mould’ was something or someone trying to tell me this chair was a mold of the previous? is this how they would have spoken during the 1700s who knows but what i do know is that i would definitely not be parking my bum within it for no love or money….would you dare?
Below is the interview I did with Susan. Many thanks to Susan for allowing me to come and be able to do this. Links to the museums Facebook page and website can be viewed below.
