Events Unfolding: Guidance from the Stars

There has been an event horizon that has been slowly unfolding before me. I feel like everything that has been happening is not coincidental, and everyone and everything has been for a greater purpose. Here recently we have been contacted to perform a private investigation to help relieve spirits in a home in Seagoville. From what we have been told this location has alot of dark energy and poltergeist type of activity. Now after speaking with the team they were excited for this investigation but at the same time, as I value all of my members input as if it were my own, we as a group were unsure as to the direct path of spirit rescue should be taken. I get a text a few days ago fro Jeffrey Stirl official Host of Unknown Paranormal Radio. He asked If I could fill in for him again as he was working tonight. Me being the one to help other families was obliged to help. 

Low and behold the speaker tonight is an actual Spirit Rescuer, or as some would call a Ghost Whisperer. Now I won't give her personal story away on here as I feel that everyone should find the source of a story. What I will say is that in her life she has encountered some things that would destroy most people I know. Yet she still had the strength to call upon the Man upstairs and seek his guidance. In return help his cause by cleansing homes of spirits, and demonic activity. What does this all mean to me??? I feel that by some cosmic alignment of stars put her in my path at this exact moment in time, and I seriously feel that being able to speak to her and get her story, was very intriguing to say the least. I think she will be playing a role in helping us understand how to better help families in need and deal with anything head on without fear. 

Now, I am normally a skeptic when it comes to mediums, sensitives, and most things of that nature but tonight on the radio show, I experienced something that I cannot explain. I know just I am skeptical of everyone else some of the readers of this blog will be skeptical of my posting. I will be posting the archive for this show so you can tune in and hear it for yourself. The show started off with Kevin and Myself speaking of the events of 9/11 and some of the things that have happened to us and other things that may have transpired because those same events. We finally got our caller online and soon after speaking with her I began to hear voices coming in from the headphones. This wasn't outside noise or the being in a noisy location type of voices. I truly believe that these were of a paranormal nature and that this woman has such a grand following that she also brings forth energy for these spirits to communicate to us. This was very interesting indeed. At one point I heard a male chime in and say Hi. Not any of us. Also if you have done any work in the paranormal these voices were coming in at the same frequency as you would hear from the Ghost Box. Needless to say I believe this woman 100% on who she says she is. I heard first hand spirits wanting to speak with her and were using ITC (instrumental trans communication) to speak to us. Their were full sentences coming through and I found myself questioning what I was hearing for myself. 

This also brings me to my next point I had received another voicemail last night from some unknown person or spirit. I couldn't even make out this voicemail as I am not even sure the voice is even in english. Nonetheless I am sitting here pondering if I am being spoken to by spirits in need. This trip into the unknown has been very interesting indeed. I hope in time every thing will have unfolded itself and shown me what the intention of the universe is. We are living inside a living organism everything around you produces energy and retains a memory of some form. You are still everywhere you have been in your life, and will always be there. I hope to one day help leave behind clues to the afterlife.

Until next time do what you do, and do it well. If you are in the business of helping others then you are already receiving the greatest check known. That is the check of helping others become happy again. It is a great feeling to know that you helped a little girl see daylight for the first time again. Everyday is going to be brighter for her, and she will never forget what we did for her. My only hope is that she returns the favor to someone else in need!

Do Not Disturb - A call left unanswered

http://soundcloud.com/bravo-pararnomal/disturbing-phone-call

Almost 2am central standard time, I decided the bed is where my head should be. I close all the windows to the PC and realize "Oh shit - I gotta walk Smiley before going to bed. I slap on some flip flops, connect the link and open the door. The air was a cool 67 degrees on this september night. I slowly pace the yard with our dog as my head focuses on what little sky I can see from my back yard. After smiley had finished his nightly fertilizer presents, we walked in. It was when I reached the living room did I notice the little red blinky light on my phone. Now there is no other function on a phone that can cause instant emotion such as an led in a cell phone. Every text recieved, and call lost instigates this lil red bastard to blink. Upon reviewing my phone I realized that I had a voice mail. Strange....My phone doesn't say I missed any calls and I had not been on my phone for sometime.

I go through the motions and follow the direction of the pushy robot woman. Ahhhh here it is my voicemail. Now at this point I would like to point out that there is a strange beeping sound then a short ring. A young kid 16-17 tops picks up (he sounds tired or high) Hello?.....Hello? Ethel?....Matt?? Now a young bitchy teen chimes in with her words of praise "OH MY GOD"  boy "Helloooo? weird sound  ANSWERGEFHDIKHDH sdgsjg fgDFHDFH Fucker!" End of voicemail. I actually sat in disbelief for a moment. "Hey Babe listen to this!" I told Stacy. She also gave the same look one would give a grandma dressed as a 20 yr old at the beach. 

No worries, Ill call back maybe its a wrong number. 3 rings and a click later a man picks up the other end. "Hey who is this?" I ask. "Ummmm WHO IS THIS???" replies the man who sounds about as lost as every politician when asked about Osama Bin Laden haha. I reply with "My bad man this is Martin and I believe I have a missed call from this number" "Are you sure??? I have been layin in my bed for sometime now and haven't touched my phone" replies the confused party. I think for a moment and say "Yeah man, I just got a voicemail from this number and.....(this is when reality slaps me dead in the face)... The man apologizes and says he didn't have any outgoing calls. I tell him everything is cool and to have a good night.

After hanging up, the wheels begin to turn. The man that answered the phone sounded nothing like the boy in my voicemail. Not only that the man had no background noise and his end sounded like everything was off and he was about to go to bed. The boy who left the voicemail however sounded a solid 10 -15 yrs younger and there sounded like a 17 year old grumpy chic in the background. Also why was there a clicking sound then ringing before the boy picked up? More over why did he answer the voicemail like someone would normally answer a phone????

Of course this could all be semantics and some minimum wage kid working the sprint satellite happened to spill his snapple on his keyboard causing some cosmic misalignment of satellite to phone transmission. Ooorrrrrr as the laymen's put Shit got fucked up lol. Either way the phone call was a lil disturbing raising more questions than answers. 

Cemetery Drive

On the night of 9/4/11, a few members of my team including myself decided it was time to go and maintain our EVP's. When working with the Paranormal this is necessary. Though there are teams out there that will frown upon going to a cemetery to only catch EVP. Practices such as this I believe not only strengthen your team and morale, but it keeps the spirits interested in you. The proof is in the pudding. When investigating, keeping up with this type of EVP capture really does mean the difference between catching a few evp here and there, and catching Class A full sentence response. 

Now people ask me all the time "Martin, How are you able to catch such amazing responses?" Well, I will tell you my secret now. Its the same as a bodybuilder. You gotta put in the time, be serious about what you do, and patience patience patience. Now like animals and small children, I in a way feel that spirits are drawn to me. For some people catching EVP is like waiting on a comet. But for me some reason its pretty much second nature lol. I could literally go into a secret underground facility 2 miles deep and still capture Class A responses haha. I truly feel though that the spirits respect the time and effort that I have put forth as an investigator. Now I am not claiming to be the best at it by any means. I am merely showing to everyone what is possible if you have the time and patience to do so. As with everyone on my team and everything you do in life, practice is the only key to perfection.

Now back to the Cemetery. Fellow investigator Gena had called me up on sat night and told me about a local cemetery that she had caught some activity. Me not being the one to turn down opportunity, gave a green light to the idea. So it came to sunday night when we had all headed out. After driving past the boonies and into total darkness there stood a small lil cemetery begging to be investigated. The cemetery's name Weston Cemetery. It had a previous name but as ideas come and go my memories fade lol. We had spent a lil over two hours here and I had a feeling that we had caught some pretty good evidence. 

For this trip I also had to make something for my P-SB7 as it really wasn't as loud as I woulda liked it to be. I took an old self made amp and added some inputs and speakers to it, finally threw this crazy concoction into my oakleys case and gave it a SteamPunk feel. Like everything else I'm not completely finished with it, but its a work in progress. Now this lil beast somehow has its own resonance to it and that makes it awesome for the P-SB7 it almost has an echo chamber sound to it and it really brings out the stronger voices quite nicely.

All that aside I was completely overjoyed after my review of this evidence, I had caught everything from my name, to Stacy's nickname I had given her, A few curse words here and there, and my favorite all time EVP an entity saying DYNOMITE!!! Haha here is where I reminisce my  childhood. But alas it was a fun night on one of the coolest so far this year, a lil windy but hey that's cemeteries for ya. Until next time keep doing what you do and I will do the same as well. This is Martin Danja Bravo sharing my story one blog at a time!!!

First of Firsts: A night to remember

What was your favorite investigation and why? What made it stand out?

Of everything that I have completed investigation wise as of now....I would have to say the first Private investigation with my Personal team at a location in Mckinney, TX. It was a night of firsts. I'll break down the time lapse for everyone. Bravo Paranormal has always been a passion of mine and not everyone, acutally most everyone I knew at the time did not know I was even into the Paranormal at the time. The truth of the matter is I had always been into it and have gone to some pretty dark locations as a young 20 something to scare myself, If I'd only had a recorder then let me tell ya. So back to the investigation that stood out the most. I was called into a private residence by a woman who said that her daughter was having night terrors. Now going into this we didn't assume Paranormal Happenings were taking place. So we had performed a day sweep and took notebooks and Recorders. I took Electromagnetic Readings of the location. Now during this time we spoke with the owner of the residence who gave us basically a full background to everything. Then the bomb was dropped on us. The ashes of a past one were in the home, not only that but there was always talk of weird happenings during this location. Now after getting home and reviewing my evidence I caught a lot of Strange Voices lots of them that were calling the child by name. One of which said the older daughters name. After completing the initial sweep and performing a slight review of some things caught I sent a team email that basically outlined the subject and what we may have on our hands. I got the team together and we arrived at the location in question. We did an EVP session. 

Now I would like to stop right here and say that most other locations we ask that the family not be present during an investigation, but for one reason or another I felt that the family being home was best. During an evp session we were not really feeling all that much other than there was something definitely at the location. It was  at this time that we did a ghost box session. Now I will be the first person in line to tell you that I was not a big believer in the ghost box until this night. 

The Ghost Box is basically a hacked radio that scans all the radio stations in a linear sweep and does so non stop. It is basically scanning a radio really really fast. Now during this ghost box session the 11 year old daughter was in the room. Now again we really advise against this on most occasions but this was necessary for the events to unfold. The daughter was getting a little scared because the Ghost Box said her name a few times and we got confirmation that something was in her home. As I saw that she was beginning to fill up with fear I took lead and basically told whatever was in the home to leave her alone and explained that giving her night terrors is really beginning to affect her life. Now the child was afraid at this point. I spoke to the daughter and basically asked her to speak to the spirits and tell them to leave her alone at night. I didn't realize it until my fellow investigator Clay Coleman caught it on his recorder, but the Ghost Box replied with "You Won't Hear From Us Ever Again". 

Now this was indeed very compelling to me because I had never received that type of communication before. After a lil break and a POW~WOW with the team. We all threw out ideas and other forms of possible manifestations of the location. We decided to investigate inside the living room. This hands down is when thing s got a lil strange. Again we performed an EVP session. After a bit we decided to continue the Ghost Box again. About halfway through the ghost box started speaking names of people in the room, family members alive and deceased. All of a sudden the golden egg, we gained contact with passed family members of the family they told us their names both first and last were mentioned. They called the child by name and told her they loved her and didn't mean any harm. Also said they would let her be and sleep. Yeah this literally happened, I couldn't really believe it myself. After completing the investigation everything pretty much felt lighter in the home and it felt like a storm had passed, which if you investigate you will know what I'm talking about. It feels like the difference of being in a laundrymat which is usually stuffy and uncomfortable to going outside for some fresh air. 

This investigation as I said before was a first of many for various reasons. This was the first Bravo Paranormal team investigation at a Private location, our first investigation with Gena Carr our newest investigator, which we had investigated with her before and always respected her. The first time that Clay had gained contact with family members through the ghost box. Last but not least the first time we helped a child recover from night terrors. Now to my knowledge the child has yet to have had any. She is doing well. Also that night I was in the company of a Paranormal Family. My team works together so well. We all investigate alike and just all the puzzle pieces fit. I feel like I put together a Paranormal Dream Team and there is only four of us.

So that is basically as of right now my favorite investigation as of yet. 

Again thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope I was able to entertain to a point lol.
