invited Marie Dykes, who is a paranormal investigator, to talk about what she
investigates. Probably some of us would assume it would be people who are on
the other side. And a matter of speaking, Samari, I understand you
have a team of investigators. Is that right? That's correct. We started
Actually this is our birthday month. We're four years old for our team that's
together now, but we've been investigating together over twenty years, maybe even thirty.
So there's a lot of experience in our group. What do you investigate?
What's that? What do you investigate? So we investigate paranormal activity,
Well, how would you describe that? Let's have a definition of so everybody
in the audience kind of because that we're it means different things to different people,
So how do we interpret it here? So it's anything that's unexplainable out
of an on normal realm of everyday activity. So maybe a disembodied voice a
voice, you hear that from somewhere, but there's nobody around, or an
object moving, or a door opening or a knocking or the very famous footsteps,
so any of that could be paranormal activity. There's also people like the
one lady on her team, the co founder, Linda. She studies at
Lyndale Lilydale to be a medium, so she's able to feel the spirits.
So if you don't know what Lilydale is, I'll give you a clue.
I've been fascinated by this stuff for years. I've had a number of good
friends who used to do readings. They were certified me use their ministers,
people who have connections with the so called dead. But Lilydale is a conclave
that they go to in the summertime and people come from all over the world
to have the experience with these mediums, the readers, that sort of thing.
So if you have gone to Lilydale, you know what I'm talking about.
If you're interested in this, you got to look it up. L
I L Y separate word DA L E and the explanation online. Well,
I'm sure intrigue lots of people, all right. So now when people call
you, you make a living doing this right, Mari. Yeah. People
give us calls every day and they'll tell us what they're experiencing, and then
we decide from what they experience, you know, whether or not it's something
we can investigate and help them with. What kind of help are they looking
for? Usually, so most people who are experiencing this type of activity need
validation that they are experiencing it. So there's our very first case. When
we started the group, we were able to debunk everything that happened. So
really we just gave them explanations for the sounds that they were hearing. So
let's have it. Let's take apart a typical call. I know that you
look into whether it's somebody's home or whether it's an office building. Maybe in
this time of year, we're all looking around haunted houses, so to speak,
historical sites. So give us an example of one thing that you studied
and what the request was and what you found and have you ever been surprised
by anything that you found? Yes? So my favorite piece of evidence.
We went to a home here in parm Ohio, and there were just three
investigators in Cleveland, Ohio, yes, yea, And we went to there
were just three investigators. There because we only bring enough investigators or the size
of house that we're going to. So there were three of us. There
was me, Linda, and then another gentleman there and Linda and I are
going through the home in each of the hotspots. So the information we received
were there were apparitions seen in the master bedroom, there were sounds coming from
one of the closets in the upstairs bedroom. So we investigate the upstairs.
We don't really feel anything or see anything or hear anything. We come down
to the master bedroom and Linda and I are standing in the bedroom and we
have our equipment out and we're talking to each other. She says to me,
do you feel anything? I say no, I don't feel anything.
Do you feel anything? She says no. She says, all right,
let's go down the basement. So the whole time we're there, we don't
feel anything. We go back home the next day, we're going through our
evidence and I hear a whisper from inside the bedroom. This is at three
am. No homeowners are in the home, nobody's outside. It's three am
and the only other person in this house is a male. And you hear
a woman when she says, do you feel anything, and I say no,
she says, do you want to go in the basement. Right before
she says do you want to go in the basement, you hear a whisper
say come near me in a female voice, super clear, not questionable.
And that's my favorite piece of evidence to date. Wow hunga manga. So
do you know where your gift came from the idea that you can hear this
sort of thing? How did you first realize that you had this tool or
this talent? Well, I don't think I have any sensitive talent. Linda
does, But I grew up. I moved into a house when I was
nine years old, and that's when I first experienced paranormal activity. And anybody
who's ever experienced it knows you want that validation. You want people to know,
Okay, I'm totally normal, but this happened to me. So that's
how I got into investigations. Mm hm. Anybody else in your family do
this? Oh you were breaking up? I'm sorry. Anybody else in your
family do this? Anybody else got the gift if you will, or the
curiosity? I think so, And it goes both ways. Like I have
a brother who doesn't believe in it. And then I had a mother who
did believe, so, you know, and my sister she actually helps me
investigate as well, So it's split right down the middle. My father,
I think he believed, but he chose to ignore it. So well,
hunting ghosts is kind of a spooky thing, and maybe it's more on our
mind this time of year, for sure, but it's something that if you
believe in it, there are and I believe in it. Frankly, I
think there are things all around us and the latest drift into what it depends
on whether you call them the thing the objects in the sky, right,
we have different names for them that we can't we don't know what it is.
They're unidentified flying objects UFOs, or they're whatever the new term is for
them. But it's I think it's silly not to believe that there are other
things. Maybe people just can't grasp it and they can't deal with it,
but there are other things around we have no clue in, never mind what's
in the outer universe, what's in the inner universe. So the fact that
we you know, the term ghost is used for a collective here, don't
you think in a lot of ways people refer to they know there's a ghost
over there. Maybe it's something else spooky though, and that's true. We
don't know what it is. And that's why I think it's important to have
investigators, so you know, you have these people that believe what don't and
that's how everything was created and invented, So why not figure out what these
different things in the world are. The website is Untetheredsoulsinvestigations dot com. Untetheredsouls
