Conjuring Chaos
Hello all and back again for another article. This one is an op-ed, or opinion, on the madness going on at The Conjuring House. I’d like to start by saying I, too, am in the paranormal events business and I have also been in The Conjuring House. My experience was quiet, although everyone else had experiences. We all know how paranormal beehives are, and sometimes they are just shy and nothing happens. When I was there with someone on my team at the time saw a creature climb the roof. Unfortunately, I missed it! Anyway, it is a cool house with all sorts of nooks and crannies, and it has a lot of character.
I’d like to share my opinion, and maybe after you read this, if you are one of those people constantly typing about it, you will put the keyboard down, pick up a spirit box, and get out there! I know somewhat about the drama going on, and I have never met the woman who owns the house, but I will share my experience in this event business. Every business has haters, but the paranormal community has much more toxic haters. I know my head has been torn off on social media and bullied by paranormal haters. By the way, they are ten times more annoying than those dust orbs (although many orbs are spirits).
I can tell you that I have done paranormal investigations and psychic work since probably 2003. I recently got into the actual paranormal community about six years ago. Before that, I was
doing art shows, and my friend would always invite me to hang out with Lorraine Warren. I appreciated it, but I was such a loner that I never took her up on that. I did, however, meet Lorraine and had some great conversations over time. I believe it was 2009? And a few other occasions also.
But I went public in 2018 and immediately, the first day I shared on the Norwalk Community Facebook group that we were looking to do some cases, I got a massive response, and people wanted us to investigate their homes. There was another Norwalk ghost hunting group that was stealing our clients on that Facebook group. That was my first experience literally in the community. We then did ghost tours at a haunted restaurant, and I met people I thought were my friends, but long story short, they stole the gig. We did ghost tours at this place and invited another group so we could network, and they took over. Another very negative experience from haters. I was like, damn. It’s a long story I’d rather not get into. The Twisted Vine. I wrote a press release and when I sent it out it went viral. It was so hot that their phone was ringing off the hook. I made a deal with the owner to try and start ghost tours there. He thought it was a great idea. That we did and filled up the room with over 50 people each Thursday. The press went so crazy it got to this sleazebag manager New York City Agent of a popular show called Kindred Spirits. So I talked on the phone with the manager and he was asking me questions about what we found in the place. I told him everything, sent him my evidence and more. He told me that he would have a space on the show for my group a few investigations a year on the TV show itself. Of course I was excited and told him everything and told him all my top haunted places I go to that only I know of. He manipulated me. Kindred Spirits: Chip, Amy and Adam were scheduled to go to the Twisted Vine with all my information I gave to the manager. They banned us from being there and we got no credit for it whatsoever. We were under the impression we were going to be on the show compliments of a sleazebag crack smoking manager.This manager was more like Robert Downey JR wannabe. Sorry Robert but only crack addicts have the skills to manipulate people like that.
Cracked out agent.
I had a paranormal museum, and an anonymous hater called the fire marshal on us right before we were about to open, and he shut us down. I’ve also had a hater stalk me in Ansonia when we investigated City Hall. This guy pulled out of the driveway, gave us a look, and peeled out. I knew damn well who it was because I saw a glimpse and I knew the type of car. I mean, that’s like some weird Jeffrey Dahmer behavior. A real man would have gotten out of the truck and confronted me, but we now live in this social media keyboard realm, and it doesn’t involve spirits but people who hide behind the screen.
I’d like to now bring The Conjuring House up again. I don’t know this lady that owns the place and I have never met her; however, I do know when you start events in the paranormal community, they will have your head on a pole. I’m sure the lady may have her issues, but I ask this: Imagine the paranormal hating she is getting on Facebook. She probably has or had the most famous haunted house in the world, right under the Amityville house. I have a feeling she is not the type to ignore Facebook bullying or whatever platform she uses. She may not be perfect and may say nasty things, but she probably is lashing back at lots of haters trying to provoke her. Again, this is my experience being completely screwed over and backstabbed by paranormal haters. I am sure she has done some wrong things, but please also be humble and hear her side as well.
My story in the paranormal community is a long road of backstabbing knives along the curb. These are paranormal trolls. I made the mistake many times of standing up for myself. My haters turned it around and made me look like a crazy person. I did lash out, and people thought I was crazy, but they didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes. I had one guy harassing me on Facebook when I was trying to promote my ghost tour. I confronted him on Messenger and said, “Why are you doing this?” He was punching the keyboard with responses. I replied, “When we ever meet in public, I expect you to be a man and say exactly how you feel about me then and not here!” He blocked me and screenshotted my post saying I threatened him. Where I’m from, we don’t do that.
Ohhh yeah, they are passive aggressive wimps. They take what you say and manipulate it and lie times it by 10. What you hear from these haters is only 45% true and they rest they practically make up. When you lash back then they really love that and pushing your buttons so you react and look like the bad one.
Let me also explain the hierarchy between fans of rival paranormal teams and someone like myself who does events: You are a completely different entity. You buy their tickets and go to their events. You get a much better treatment than another events group would, because you are not competition. Many times, people won’t understand why I don’t get along with so-and-so. They’re nice people. Me: “He’s nice to you…lol.”
I had another fellow on Facebook claiming paranormal is fake, and that’s fine, except when I replied, “You have the right to feel that way,” he went off on me for like an hour. I told him to come to my museum and see for himself. He was aggressively typing responses. Finally, I got mad and challenged him to meet me at my museum land so he could yell at me there. He blocked me and shared on a Facebook group that, “How dare this guy blah blah blah!”
I feel when it comes to this Conjuring Chaos, we need to hear both sides of the story. This lady, to me, doesn’t seem like she will take anyone’s nonsense, but I am also sure she isn’t completely innocent either. My point is this: she probably gets harassed on social media by hundreds of people. She owned The Damn Conjuring House! My mentors always advised me not to lash out and to be the bigger person. I found this year that my mentors were right, but if this lady wants to stand up for herself, then respect her.
I also had a guy on my team go to The Conjuring House and challenge the demons there. On the SLS camera, you can see a formation like a noose around his neck. The next day he woke up with a rope burn on his neck, and he claims since then his life changed and he went into the dark arts and black magick. He was never the same again (no need for names).
We need to keep in mind that doing cases and helping people, aside from paranormal events, also has its risks. We have a mark on our heads from the evil spirits we deal with, literally. I ask both sides to be humble!
Also, keep in mind this is one of the most diabolical locations out there. How do you know spirits may not try to attach to her, too? She dealt with lots of energy all the time. She may have a dangerous job! Think about it. My point is this: as soon as you start in events, you have people who will have your head on a pole. It’s normal in every business, but twenty times worse in this community, and I speak for many established people, not just myself.
PUT THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOWN AND GET OUT THERE AND INVESTIGATE!!!
