Vorpral Director of SPI  

Originally from Dallas, Texas, I am a veteran electronics/computer IT consultant with nearly twenty years of technical experience and a background in engineering level math, physics & chemistry. I also have a strong grounding in psychology/counseling, parapsychology, quantum mechanics and mythology with a smattering of Feng Shui and shamanism. I have lived in Europe and in Seattle, where my lifelong interest in the paranormal took flight years ago. More recently, I have been engaged in digital video, 3D animation and artistic gothic photography

I was in a certain fundamentalist religion for most of my life and attained the rank of ordained minister. (no, not with the Universal Life Church or some other Internet degree - I was actually trained, gave sermons and evangelized) However, as time went on, I found other spiritual paths and began to study Buddhism and Native American Medicine.

My experience in the paranormal goes back many years; I started reading ghost stories as soon as I could hold a book and I have reviewed thousands of cases plus personally been involved in hundreds of investigations under a variety of conditions.

 

 

How did I get involved in something like this? Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by the paranormal and I also loved Scooby Doo. What better fantasy is there than to investigate a haunted house with a group of your peers on some stormy night? But I also realize that these things are easily romanticized about, and we can ignore the dark side to our peril. Scooby Doo was meant to sell cereal on Saturday morning, not give a realistic grounding in paranormal research. But there were some good things that show taught that still hold true:

 

1) Keep looking for clues and do research. It always pays off.

2) Most hauntings aren't truly paranormal - it's Old Man Withers running around in a mask.

3) If you need some extra bravery, there's nothing like a Scooby Snack. :)

 

Scooby Snack Recipe

2 cups flour

2 eggs
1 cup Quaker dry oatmeal 1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa 1 tbsp. walnut extract
1/2 cup sugar (optional)1 oz. of finely ground herbal medicine
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter  

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If there is not enough liquid to mix all ingredients after five minutes of stirring, add a tiny amount of milk to aid in mixing of remaining ingredients. Taste better before cooking and adjust amount of sugar to your liking.

  Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how large you made your cookies. Can be cooked for a shorter time for chewier cookies, or a longer time for drier, crisp cookies.

-The Highlander  


I find you in the morning
after dreams of distant signs
you pour yourself over me
like the sun through the blinds
you lift me up
and get me out
keep me walking
but never shout
hold the secret close
I hear you say

You know the way
it throws about
it takes you in
and spits you out
when you desire
to conquer it
to feel you're higher
to follow it
you must be clean
with mistakes
that you do mean
move the heart
switch the pace
look for what seems out of place

Yeah, on and on it goes
calling like a distant wind
through the zero hour we'll walk
cut the thick and break the thin
no sound to break no moment clear
when all the doubts are crystal clear
crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
it twists and turns
changing colour
spinning yarns
you know the way
it leaves you dry
it cuts you up
it takes you high
you know the way
it's painted gold
is it honey
is it gold
you know the way
it throws about
it takes you in
and spits you out

(Refrain)

And now I find
the special kind
you yourself
like sun through blinds
you lift me up
get me out
keep me walking
but never shout

It's o.k.
it goes this way
the line is thin
it twists away
cuts you up
it throws about
keep me walking
but never shout

-Peter Murphy
