This is an Oglala Lakota’s view on cultural appropriation and spirituality. I’m sometimes asked about my personal feelings regarding this hot topic as it relates to my work in the paranormal field, so here they are. 13 minutes of them. And related things.

The first six episodes of Christopher's new electronic communiqués are available now! What are these, exactly? Says Christopher:
"A friend went looking for Electronic Signatures on YouTube and found a bunch of tutorials on e-signatures. She thought my videos were business related. I suppose it depends on the business. But in my case the e is for esoteric.
I thought of all the digital traces we leave behind, digital shadows and ghosts, electronic footsteps and fingerprints. We’re machines making machines. But somewhere under all that circuitry is a beating heart and beyond that, a spirit. I thought it was going to be a commentary on supernatural events, which it kind of is, but it wanted to include and honor the realm of dreams. So I relented.
I come from a race of storytellers and at the end of the day or the end of the world, when the WiFi fails and the only machines left are biological, the gift of story is what will persevere and remain. All of this technology to tell and support a story. And these are some of mine. And like my best dreams I hope they read as strange, weird, touching, creepy, poetic, unsettling, emotional, interesting. Which could all describe most first dates of mine.
Byte-size and bona fide, I also wanted these looking very handmade. A late-night program you only saw because you just woke up to turn off the TV and saw this on PBS. They were also partially inspired by Laurie Anderson’s old PSAs. Pandemic on the loose? Confined to the house? What to do? Do you dream? Do you dream in color? Do you remember your dreams? Will these stories jog something from your subconscious and stimulate your dreams? Take a byte and find out."

WE ALL FEEL BETTER IN THE DARK.
Us ghost hunters, anyway. We use infrared and full-spectrum cameras to see in the dark, FLIR cameras to show us temperature variations, SLS cameras to create a model of figures unseen to our eyes, we can tune into the spirit world and record sounds and voices from another realm. We are now able to do things which took saints and mystics years to achieve through the most rigorous training and discipline. So what are we doing with it? Playing with the Victorian novelty of sitting in the dark watching a flashlight blink on and off, or are we out in the field trying something new? Whatever darkness you find yourself crossing on this night when the veil between worlds is at its most thin, we are wishing all of our friends, colleagues and supporters a most supernaturally stimulating Halloween!

A trailer for The Scariest Night Of My Life, Episode 12, featuring Christopher from FUTURE GHOST. This program is currently airing on Canada’s Travel + Escape channel as well as UKTV Play overseas ( both of which can be viewed with an Express VPN subscription for those here in the States ). We’re crossing our fingers that this series makes its way to America, but until then, we hope you enjoy this teaser!
On April 28th, 2012, a Biography Channel episode of My Ghost Story : Caught On Camera premiered in the U.S. featuring Christopher & James from FUTURE GHOST. Their story concerned a network of underground caverns which the Utes believed to be a sacred entrance to the Underworld. It was Christopher’s first of two episodes shot for this series. After the Lifetime Movie Network purchased the series, the show eventually went into hiatus and production was discontinued. That story focused on a former cemetery in Denver, a story which FUTURE GHOST is still planning to release this year. In the meantime, enjoy these highlights from their very first episode!

One of the EVPs we recorded during our stay aboard the Queen Mary. We had inquired about the infamous spirit vortex in the pool room, and what it was about this room that would feature such a phenomena. Our guide brought our attention to the ceiling, which we initially thought was inlaid with Mother of Pearl. We were informed that it was actually quartz crystal, a natural conductor, amplifier and director of energy. In the audio sample, you can hear our guide describing the properties of the ceiling, when 4 seconds in the voice of an unknown male can be heard breathily whispering, "save me".
