Sure, fans were really glad to see that Supernatural has come back on air, but they weren’t too happy to find that the timing couldn’t be less perfect. Sarcastically speaking, that is. The show’s first new episode in over a month fell into a timeslot that forces it to compete against the season premiere of Lost. The return of the Winchester brothers debuted with around 3 million viewers, and that number less 390,000 for the sophomore episode. Seeing that the show is again teetering to the fall, fans began a campaign aptly named “Supernatural Will Not Get Lost,” which involves creating fan art promoting the series and an e-mail campaign forwarding e-mails to TV columnists and the CW itself. Can these efforts actually make a difference for the underrated CW show?

Supernatural fans are one hell of a dedicated fan base and they will surely do whatever it takes to make possible the Winchester brothers promotions, even if they have to do it themselves. Despite being such a great show, Supernatural is just not watched by enough people, and the CW isn’t doing such a great job at promoting the series. Therefore, the fans have taken action and are taking this to the streets.

The CW has definitely made a wrong move in placing Supernatural in Lost’s timeslot, but who knew that ABC was moving their phenomenal series to 9pm Thursdays? This is probably the primary reason why the ratings dipped to a low this season. Fact is, Supernatural and Lost are quality genre shows, and fans can only pick on in that critically competitive time slot.

As of now, fans are busy recruiting new viewers to become part of the Supernatural fan base. Nonetheless, in a recent interview with Eric Kripke, the Supernatural creator seemed positive that the show will receive it’s fourth season in time. Hopefully by then, the CW can place it in a more friendly timeslot that has lesser competition.

Fans became quite emotional after they found out that Supernatural reruns were not going to be a part of the CW’s midseason schedule, as the network announced. This is again a bad sign, as the Winchester boys are yet again being set back, after being placed in a bad timeslot and receiving insufficient promotion. Since these events, the fans had not kept quiet, as they are a loyal fanbase who want to keep the show running successfully. Good thing that the CW’s network communications executive Paul McGuire affirming the network’s faith in the show.

“The CW is very supportive of Supernatural and continues to be,” McGuire confirmed. “The show continues to deliver strong episodes viewers like yourself have embraced. The move to air encores of Reaper Thursdays at 9 is an attempt to get sampling for that show, which is in its first season, unlike Supernatural, which is a proven veteran.”

It sure is comforting to hear the CW executive refer to Supernatural as a “proven veteran,” though the schedule change is still a questionable move in the part of the network. Moving Supernatural to help Reaper gain audiences would be a good strategy, no questions asked. However, they should have placed Supernatural reruns for another night, such as Wednesdays at 9pm, which is also when encore episodes of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious will be airing.

Some fans might be worried about Reaper getting too much viewers and further push Supernatural back, but don’t assume that to come true. Taking a look at the facts, Reaper has about 500,000 less viewers, and despite the CW’s hopes of launching the show into a skyrocketing success, we won’t count on it because it’s up against new episodes of the monumental Lost on ABC. If the CW really cares for the show, they’d give it back its original schedule.

Man with Supernatural power

Sukhbir was my class-mate and we were students of eighth class when Sukhbir ran away from school as well as from his house. His parents had been searching for him and I had seen items in news papers too through which the parents had been requesting him directly that he should come back because his mother had a heart attack and was admitted in a local hospital. But all in vain. Sukhbir never return to his home.

This all happened in the year 1952. In 1995-96 I was visiting some of the important Deras in Punjab. I was trying to find out all the realities in these Deras because certain news items were not telling us good things. I wanted to have on the spot information and therefore, I turned a devotee and visited so many Deras. I had been participating in the discourses so called ‘Parvachans’ of the sants and Mahants. They were telling very good things. All were telling the devotees that God is one and we all are His children and therefore, we all are members of the same family. We all have got blood relations and therefore, we should not divide ourselves on the basis of religions, caste, colour, creed, rich, poor, educated and illiterate. We should not discriminate. We should be secular in nature and should not fight on the basis of religion, caste, colour and creed. We should help the needy and those who are poor and weak. All these teachings were having a very good impact upon me and therefore, actually I started to have love and affection for these sants and Mahants. None was giving out bad things to the gatherings. They were telling all those good things which were contained in all the books of religions.

I was sorry to note that I had been developing some inferior type of thoughts about these sants and Mahants and therefore, I started repenting.

It was the month of December and therefore, I wanted to stay here for the night. I was told that the sant of this Dera should see some people at about 10 in the night. I wanted to meet this fellow because he could not complete his discourse in the day and because of some disturbances with his body, he had to leave the discourse in between. I wanted to have some talks with this fellow because he was having a constant look at me and as and when I saw in his eyes, he closed down his eyes and also his mouth. His servants thought that the sant was not well, they arranged his passage and he left the discourse in between.

At about 9.30 in the evening I approached the Prime Sewadar of the Dera. But inspite of my repeated request he did not allow me to see the sant of the Dera. This refusal created some doubts in my mind and therefore, I planned to stay here for some days and was very much eager to have a direct talk with the sant. One day I caught him in the garden attached to the Dera. When I approached him, I could recollect that this fellow is Sukhbir who had run away in 1952. He also said that he had already recognised me while he was sitting before him for the first time two-three days ago. That was the reason he had left the discourse in between. On repeated asking, he took me to his special room in the Dera and started telling me about his Bhagati. He told me that he could attain some supernatural powers and because of those powers thousands of people are coming to him and were having blessings.

Because I was having all knowledge about this Sukhbir, I could not believe that a man of such low intellect could attain supernatural power. He was never passing any of the examination without grace marks and I had been noticing that he was always amongst those who were not completing home-task and were punished by the teachers. So I had a laugh upon him and at the same time I invited him to my house. He agreed, but told me that his identity should not be disclosed to others in the village. I assured him that none in the village shall know about him and since he has turned a Sant, none in the village, including his parents would recognize him.

He came and I also arranged his discourses in the village. Almost all the people from the village and some people from the surrounding villages attended his discourse and they were very much satisfied.

One day I started questioning him on the attainment of supernatural powers. He tried his best to satisfy me. But since I was not believing in the concept of supernatural powers, I wanted to have complete satisfaction. We both were sitting all alone in our drawing room. I asked him to utilize his supernatural power and bring a glass of water from the kitchen for me. He took it very easily. He started reading out some Mantras and then started shaking his hands on one direction and the other. He continued with this rehearsal for some time, but inspite of all his efforts he could not cause a glass of water coming to my hand. When he failed and closed down his eyes. I suggested, “should I try to bring a glass of water from kitchen for you and that too without any movement? “He was very happy that I shall also fail in this rehearsal. He had been a sant for years together and during this period I married and had got sons and daughters. He knew that a man with family cannot possess such supernatural powers. So he agreed. Opened his eyes and started looking at me. I issued a call,

“Raju, Raju. Kaka Bring a glass of water from the kitchen.” Kaka Raju brought a glass of water and I asked the sant to have water. He took water. The boy went back. While going out he again wanted to know as to whether more water is required.

Sukhbir had a laugh. “You too failed. We both failed.”



“No. I did not fail. I could cause a glass of water to come to us and you had the water. On the other hand you failed and you could not bring a glass of water with your supernatural power. The power I created on this earth could bring a glass of water.”

He was still laughing when my wife came with tea and we both started taking tea. I noticed that there was some frustration on the face of Sukhbir. He was having a look on my wife and when she was out he said, “You are more lucky………….”

We sit at the edge of our seats when watching a movie like ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’. Such violent and obvious ghost manifestations are very visible and show a ghost fully manifested. But is there such a thing as ‘a ghost in hiding’ (unmanifest)? This article discusses the two forms of ghost possession, the manifest and unmanifest possession.

 Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) though neither visible to the gross eye, nor perceived by the other sense organs, mind and intellect affect all of mankind. The manifestations of distress due to ghosts or negative energies are varied, and can be from a person displaying uncharacteristic behaviour to erratic violent behaviour.  Ailments and disorders such as addictions, various physical and psychological illnesses, family problems, business problems etc. can be caused due to possession or manifestation of ghosts.

 The meaning of a ghost being ‘manifest’ versus being ‘unmanifest’.

 A person can be fully possessed by a ghost (demon, devil, negative energy, etc.) and yet both the person and people around him could be completely unaware about it. This is because of the fact that the possessing ghost does not reveal its presence as it knows that once it reveals itself, the person possessed and those around him will seek help and force the ghost out. 

 In simple words when we say that the particular ghost that has possessed a particular person is unmanifest – we mean the ghost has not revealed its presence yet.

 And when we say that the particular ghost that has possessed a particular person is manifest – we mean that it has revealed itself and its consciousness is to the fore. 

 When do ghosts manifest themselves?

As a general rule a ghost never likes to manifest unless it is of its own accord. Ghosts manifest on their own accord when:

They are in a comfortable environment which is entrenched in raja-tama. Raja-tama situations include places where people indulge in plotting against society in any form, alcohol, drugs, cigarette smoking, promiscuous sexual behaviour, dimly lit places, loud music etc. In such venues we see people behaving quite different from their normal behaviour, it is actually the ghost manifesting either partially or fully.

 

 

A ghost manifests many a time to intimidate, scare or disrupt family life by causing fights etc. Higher level ghosts also manifest when they want to create wider scale destruction through the person that they possess.

 

 

They also manifest to disrupt the spiritual practice of the person whom they have possessed.  This is done by them so that they disturb or frighten those around, who may be in a spiritual meeting.

 

When ghosts manifest on their own accord, it is unlikely that the manifestation will go noticed unless the ghost wants it to be noticed.

How are ghosts forced to manifest?

Sometimes, ghosts possessing a person are forced into manifesting and exposing themselves. The reasons for these types of manifestations include:

 

The ghost is overpowered by the purity of the place such as in the case of a spiritual healing session and its spiritual strength is depleted.

 

 

The time has come for the ghost to leave the person because of completion of the give-and-take account (destiny) between the affected person and itself.

 

The time has come for the ghost to be destroyed.

 A person possessed by a ghost manifests when he is under pure or holy influence, this happens because:

 

It feels uncomfortable when it comes in contact with a highly spiritually evolved person, place or item such as Holy water.

 It manifests because the purity and sanctity of the place, person or item it has come into contact with is more than it’s own strength.

 At such times the ghost tries to avoid such places by

 

Putting thoughts into the person that it is possessing to stay away from anything pure and Holy such as a spiritual meeting.

 

Going out of the body and vicinity while the person is in a pure environment or 

 

Hiding in the physical, mental or intellectual body of the person by surrounding itself with a thick covering of its black energy to fend off the purity.

 The most dangerous aspect of demonic possession

At the point of full manifestation during a spiritual healing session, the ghost is generally at its weakest.

The real danger is when the ghost controls a person through stealth, with the person unaware of the possession. The ghost makes the person it possesses act according to its will. Even though a person is possessed, there is generally nothing dramatic or deviant in the behaviour of the person.

Addictions are just one example of insidious possession. Society thinks of addiction to cigarettes or alcohol as a psychological affliction, when actually it is a case of possession. At times, a person may show serious aberrations in behaviour due to the controlling ghost. Ghosts can make a person do things that are completely contrary to their personality, for example a conservative woman by nature behaving in a promiscuous manner.

The need to understand ghost manifestations

People possessed by ghosts seem to be very normal people and one may not realize that he/she is possessed by a ghost; therefore it is important to know the different types of manifestations.

Do you like haunted hotels?

Do you like trains?

I know, they don’t really go together logically, do they?

Well, they do if you’re at the Mason House Inn, Bentonsport, Iowa.

The Mason House Inn  is a cool old haunted hotel with tons of ghostly activity.  And if you’re just a bit weary of the ghosts keeping you up at night, you can always stay in their caboose lodgings.

There. 

See?

Haunted hotels and trains do go together!

Mason House Inn was built in 1846 as a hotel for the steamboat travelers on the Des Moines River. That’s a lot of time for a place to acquire ghosts!

And they have a few.  They’re usually pretty active, too.

There’s an old lady by the fireplace in the dining room.

There’s a boy in knickers on the second floor landing who likes to wave to people.  Don’t see him?  Wave anyway, you’ll make him happy!

A man was murdered in Room 7.  He was just a traveler who had visited a local tavern and well, had a bit too much to drink since he tried to climb in a bed that wasn’t his.  Surprise surprise.  The man already occupying the bed took exception to the intrusion and promptly stuck a saber in the intruder’s heart.  The instant making of a ghost!

There’s also a lot of normal ghostly activity like orbs in pictures (don’t forget your camera!), foggy images in mirrors, doors opening and closing by themselves, footsteps when no one is there, all sorts of things ghosts like to do to make their presence known.

And what’s more, you can take a ghost hunting class at the Mason House Inn, too.  Yep, a real live ghost hunting class at a real live haunted hotel. 

Way cool!

And what’s this about caboose lodgings? 

Well, they also have a caboose you can stay the night in.  It’s one where you can climb up into the cupola, too.  A lot of caboose lodgings don’t have that little extra added bonus.  So this one is special, with a little table up in the cupola, too! 

Wow!  A haunted hotel and a caboose, too.  What an adventure!

Ghosts, Ghouls, Spooks and Hauntings, Do they exist?

Over the years many people have reported seeing Ghosts, lived in Haunted Houses and being scared by a mischievous spooks. Sightings of the unexplained paranormal kind have been documented throughout history in many formats. So following years off so-called “true accounts” we ask,  “Do they exist”, that’s Ghosts, Ghouls and Hauntings.

Sceptics will always say that these sightings and accounts, relating to the paranormal are figments of the human mind, hallucinations of peoples over active imaginations. They will maintain that unless they have concrete proof they will not and cannot accept the existence of so called Ghosts, Ghouls and Hauntings. Concrete proof that means solid doesn’t it? I ask are the accounts of millions of people, from all walks of life not proof enough?  These accounts/recordings have been documented in many ways, shapes and forms throughout the whole of history. Bringing reporting up to date, in the UK alone, there are on average over 200 reported sightings a year.  Whether they are recorded in a picture, included in some old diaries, repeated in ghost stories or on a forum from of the many Paranormal Event Companies, there has to be some truth in it. Not everybody is disillusioned with wild imaginations, are they? Whilst working for UK Ghost Nights I have had a few of experiences that have left me shaken up, and convinced that ghosts do exist and are a part of a science we do not yet understand.

Having been involved in paranormal investigations for several years I personally, from my own experiences, can undisputedly say, “they do exist”.  I have witnessed things I cannot scientifically prove, for example a table move across a room under its own volition.  Not very unusual you may say, but when I tell you a 17 stone man was sitting on the table and the incident was witnessed by 4 other people, now that’s spooky. This took place in a renowned haunted church. 6 people all imagining the same thing, I think not. An interaction of ghostly energies perhaps, I think so. In the same haunted church the Ghoulish apparition of a demonic looking preacher also was witnessed.  Ghosts, Ghouls, Spooks and Hauntings, Do they exist? Well I say YES they do.
