Exposed: Para Police: Bullying within the Paranormal Field
Bullying and harassment in the Paranormal Field: EXPOSED!!
Hello guys im Charlene Kemp, I currently work for Ghosts of Britain. I am also a member of Para Police, A team of investigators who are trying to at least monitor the field to expose the fakes and basically exposing how activity can be faked to educate people to not believe everything they see on TV programmes and Youtube.
So over the past few weeks I have had numerous messages from various people within the paranormal field who have reported to me that they have suffered at some degree some kind of bullying and harassment from others who are in the field. As I take a part of the Para police I have felt that I need to raise awareness of this. Unfortunately within the paranormal community there are individuals who I would class as your school ground bullies. Who set out to destroy peoples personal lifes, business, reputation, events, evidence and basically torment a person to such a degree they feel that they no longer can continue in the field.
Another issue I also had was regarding a lady who claimed that she could 100% make contact with one of your love ones, initially I heard of this and was mad, how could any medium make should a big claim, in my eyes she was a con, she claimed you would be able to see, feel and have 100% contact with your past loved one for a price. So after hearing this I was 100% certain I was going to expose this lady, I was going to make an appointment with this lady and try and have her contact my ‘dead aunty sue’ ( I haven’t got a dead aunty sue) but if she made contact then this proved my exposure that she was a con. It wasn’t until I further looked into this lady that I realised something, I watched her videos and how she was on these and what she claimed to have and be. And actually realised that this lady infact has a severe mental health issues, she has stated this in her videos and that she was being treated for such and claims to have helped others in a similar situation I had the hanging feeling that she may be in fact preying on those who suffer with a mental health problems. So I looked into her further and decided to give this lady a ring to see what she was about and how she was. Her behaviour on the phone also indicated and confirmed to me in my opinion that she did have some kind of mental health issue and it came across to me that she may have been quite medicated while speaking with her. I came to the decision to no publicly expose this lady, if others chose to then that is up to you.
This lady hosts such a demonstration in your home at a cost, but it has to be within her area. With this in mind my conclusion of this was due to what she may have she would in fact 100% believe she can contact any passed loved you wish and therefore wasn’t intentionally conning people has she fully believes she can even though in hindsight she properly cant and yes is conning people but this to me isn’t intentional. This then leads me on to my next part, because the field isn’t regulated in any way it allows such a person to work within the field, it is open to everyone, there is nobody to monitor it. If it was regulated in some way and we somehow had to register what we did to a panel of people to be considered to work in the field then maybe people who make such big claims wouldn’t be working within the field. As a result of this, understandably this lady has been subjected to negative posts regarding her claims, I understand why with the claims she is making but please bare in mind this lady is suffering with a mental illness and just because this lady looks physically well it does mean that this lady is well, and such posts could potentially trigger a massive un wanted reaction from this lady to herself, yourself or others, please bare this in mind.
My only warning to the public is if a medium is making such a claim please think before booking because you are most likely going to leave very disappointed after also paying for a service which someone could not provide for you or that you believed to not be true.
Some of the other complaints are as followed, potentially trying to close down a location, trying to cancel events, ringing the police to incidents which haven’t even occurred, passing messages to love ones and friends to turn them against the person, sending abuse which include threats, trying to destroy a peoples reputation within the field, constantly bombarding a person with messages of abuse, posts directed at another person or group, turning up at peoples places of work to give abuse even death threats!!…..the list is endless and seriously makes me question why I got into this field altogether.
The biggest problem I believe causing this is social media, messages are flew between people, screen shots are taken, this is then used as some kind of evidence against another person. Posts are directed at individuals and posters and mini videos made to take the mick out of who they are having the conflict with. This guys is childish!! And please bare in mind that I have been informed by many that there is indeed a app that is now available which enables a person to edit screen shots in some way.
You then have whose who take sides, these people only have heard half the story and cast a judgment before they have even spoken to the party being accused. There are two sides to a story as some would say three 😉 and before any judgement can be cast you should look at both sides instead of jumping on the band wagon and joining those who are causing the drama. I understand that sometimes people can pull the wool of people’s eyes but please bare in mind that you have only heard half the story before involving yourself.
If you have a disagreement with someone and it cannot be resolve then my best advice would be to please just delete that person, have no other contact with them, consider it a lesson learnt and move on. Easier said than done Im sure you are all sat there thinking…this is true but what you have to sit down and think about is why you are in this field….is it to make friends/enemies and slate each other or to gather some evidence, enjoy investigating the unknown and to find some comfort for yourself?
I know which one it is for me…..and if I meet some friends along the way who I trust then great (which I have may I add many) but if I hadn’t would I still have the passion and interest….yes I would.

The History of REIKI healing
The History of REIKI healing: by Clare burrows
We have to remember that energy based healing techniques and medicines, have been used in Eastern cultures for thousands of years.
However REIKI was foundered by a man named Dr Mikao Usui. He was born in Japan on August 15th 1865.
As a child, Dr Mikao Usui attended the Tendai Buddhist Monastery School, and went on to become a Tendai Buddhist Monk/Priest.
He was also a student of various martial arts and had a vast knowledge in medicine, psychology and the theology of religions throughout the world.
Usui Sensei (sensei meaning teacher) travelled to western countries and China several times, and this was encouraged during the MEJJI era, and to study the western ways.
He often took a form of meditating, lasting 21 days at a time, it is said that he did this on MOUNT KURAMA (Horse Saddle Mountain) and this meditation, is the one that had given his inspiration for the system of REIKI in 1922.
So what is REIKI?
Rei – meaning ‘Higher power’
Ki – meaning ‘Life force energy’
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique used for all kinds of ailments both mental and physical.
Reiki is administered by a Reiki attuned therapist, by 90% non contact, allowing energy to flow from their hands into the patient.
Most often the therapist will start at the head, placing their hands on the patients head, and then hover their hands over the different Chakra’s (energy centres) around the body.
A session usually lasts between 45-90 minutes depending on how much balancing and healing is needed.
The therapist would normally summarise with the patient after the treatment, of their findings, as usually they wouldn’t be told the issues to begin with.
Often crystals are used to promote healing, and often a pendulum used to balance the energy.
Symbols of Reiki are also used, but that can only be shared amongst qualified Reiki therapists.
Distant Reiki can also be performed if someone is in need whom cannot get to an appointment. (live away etc)
What does Reiki feel like? , How much am I expected to pay? How do I find a qualified therapist?
Reiki differs from person to person, it is an individual experience, however, generally the patient will feel very relaxed, and may have tingling sensations and waves of heat pass through them.
Some have claimed that they can feel energies around their feet when the therapist is around the head or upper body.
Some patients can drift off to sleep in deep relaxation during a treatment.
At the end of a treatment, most people feel a sense of balance and positivity, and also a sense of being refreshed.
Others may feel emotional and allow it to flow out naturally, which gets ‘rid’ of any lingering negativity.
A Reiki session usually lasts between 45-90 minutes
depending on each patient, and would generally cost between £15-£25 per hour..
There are some Therapists that also work on a donation only basis.
Going to your nearest Spiritualist church is also an option as some hold healing sessions on certain evenings, where you can receive Reiki healing for free.
It is important that you go to a Reiki Therapist trained to at least a level 2, and there is also information over the internet, to search for a therapist on the UK REIKI FEDERATION Website.
How to learn REIKI therapy?
This technique is available for anyone to learn, and it is not
taught in the usual sense, but rather it is Transferred through an attunement, given by a level 3 Reiki Master. This allows the student to tap in to an unlimited supply of ‘LIFE FORCE ENERGY’ to help enhance a patients quality of life and improve the persons health.
This information is also available on the UK REIKI FEDERATION Website to find a reputable REIKI MASTER/TEACHER to study with.
So is REIKI successful?
Reiki is not a religion, it is however, a spiritual based belief system, that this universal life force energy, can heal and help many people in crisis.
There are success stories from all over the globe, and a rise of many other holistic and natural based therapies and medicines.
However, there will always be the controversial element within spiritual practises and holistic therapies.
Many Governments will simply not fund much needed money into scientifically proving Reiki works.
It has a stigma attached to it by many people, as to how hovering your hands above a person can heal their pain? It could be described as magic, an illusion, that the patient just believes they are getting better, and that the therapists are actually just conning them into believing that?
It will always have this stigma, and there will always be positive and negative opinions on the practice.
As humans in the modern world, we are simply ‘taught’ that holistic practises do not have a place in modern medicine and science.
There are however, some hospitals now that have Reiki therapists there, and many Hospice’s, and usually the therapist is there as a volunteer.
THE TOUCHSTONE PROCESS foundered by Mr William Lee Rand in the United States has developed a system which is considered to be the most comprehensive compilation of hospitals offering Reiki treatment throughout the world.
In this process, there has never been so many worthy studies collected, analysed and evaluated, and from the most recent Data collected (during 2008-2009) showed very strong evidence, that, REIKI had a very positive Biological response in both humans and animals.
My conclusion….
As I myself have studied and researched for years, and are fully qualified in holistic therapies such as, Reiki, Seichem, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Past life regression, Sports Massage, Counselling, Psychology and Advanced Transpersonal Studies, I am going to naturally have a more Biased opinion towards this.
However, I can only actually go on my own personal experiences of it.
I was severely ill, 3 years ago, and having spent 3 months in hospital and two years of tests, medication changes and constant illness, I had, had enough.
After being entered in to the medicinal world, where every sense I had was dampened, my thought process was negative, my pain was persistent and no ability to control it, I decided to go down the holistic route.
It took a lot of personal effort, but I did get myself into regular Reiki sessions, and started to use natural medicines, as I had studied and performed in previous years for others.
The Reiki therapy gave me the foundations and belief system to start to lead a ‘normal life’ again with the minimal medicines, to control my pain and start to get better and a lot more positive.
It was also interesting that the therapist, knew nothing of my ailments at the start, and where she picked up the most affected part and issue, was later clarified by my consultant.
Some of the most spiritual experiences of my life have come from administering this therapy to others also, and I, as a therapist, work with the method of closing my eyes to heighten my senses elsewhere, and not having the information of their ailments to start with.
In my experience I have dealt with a lot of arthritic individuals, people who suffer from MS and people whom suffer gastro intestinal diseases.
I am not a doctor, nor offering a cure, simply a treatment that may have very positive results.
Reiki is a universal life force, everything is energy, anything can receive this, from animals to plants to humans.
I am a strong believer in energy, although I am not a Religious person at all.
I even use these methods with my ghost hunting group, to sense different energies at locations, whatever they may be, or not be? But that’s a different article…..
Now here is the question I ask, I cannot 100 % state that it is a divine energy, or, if it actually is the brains ability to ‘heal the body’ when triggered into that belief system and positive thought process, and this is something I will continue to study and research for my own personal goal.
On a whole I believe that Reiki can form a balance, can help to heal some ailments, and be beneficial in some forms of pain control.
A cure for things???? who knows, but if this therapy has an ability to make peoples lives better, and for some poor souls, a way of dealing with their ailments, to deal with pain control and be used as a coping mechanism for some,
I can only see REIKI healing as a positive, and encourage any person, whatever their ailments, To try it.
