An old investigation from the archives I just edited together from early August 2013. This investigation took place at the Paine House Museum with Ken DeCosta as lead investigator, guide, and host. The investigation was run by the TAPS Home Team. There were guest investigators as well as from other Paranormal team members (yes, including me). It was filmed from my view point and adventures that evening. I noticed I had a prankster edge that night going through this footage. It seems like a life time ago looking back. Well it was more than a decade back. There were some interesting sounds, voices, anomalies captured none the less. From Western History Org: The Paine house originally was built around 1691 by Samuel Bennett. Samuel ran a saw mill at this site and it is believed that the house began as a one room shelter. The mode for travel at that time was the Pawtuxet River. The property was passed to his son Samuel and in 1741 the first town meeting and election took place here. In 1742 the property was sold to Francis Brayton who added to the house and was granted a license to sell spiritous liquors and the house became a house of entertainment, an inn or a tavern. After his death in 1783 the property passed to his son Francis Brayton Jr. In 1797 it was sold to a Charles Holden and was known as the Holden tavern. Holden heirs sold it to Thomas Whipple April 9, 1849. On April 25, 1866 the Whipple family sold the property to Phebe Paine and Mary Mathewson (Matteson). Mary sold her half to Phebe Paine Johnson. Through inheritance the property came to be in the Paine family for the next 87 years. Mr. Herbert F. Paine was the last of the family to live in the house and in 1946 after his death it passed to his half-sister Mrs. Zilpha W. Foster. The keys to the house were turned over to the President of the Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society on July 24, 1953 after being left by Mrs. Foster as a memorial to her mother Phebe Paine Johnson and sister Orvilla Paine. The house was added to the National Historic Register in 1974.

Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Hollywood, CA Inside the museum, 300 exhibits are spread across two floors and 15 galleries. When the Hollywood landmark was overhauled in 2012, some of the most gruesome exhibits were removed to make the experience more family-friendly. You’ll still find plenty of oddities here, though. Highlights include a vampire-killing kit, interactive musical stairs, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, and a moving automaton of the world’s tallest man. A few years after my visits to Ripley’s in Hollywood, CA I see that Ghost Adventures did an investigation there. Employees of the museum have claimed to be “adversely affected by its rare artifacts.” I did capture an orb sweep across me while I was on the dance floor near the end of the video visit. I did use my paraspectrum camera and an infrared effect on camera phone a few times while in Ripley’s. My footage is from April 2013 and April 2014 But first in this video I will showcase my going to the Guinness World of Records Museum Hollywood, CA As stated on a web site: “Guinness is all about the fastest, tallest, biggest, fattest and other superlatives.” I could have spent time reading the postings for each exhibit but the layout and lackluster displays inspired enough interest in me to just glance through the place. It is only the first 3 minutes of this video episode. Filmed in April 2014.

Grauman's is the last remaining deluxe movie palace from the 1920s. There are also a couple ghosts that are believed to haunt the backstage area of the theater. One is referred to as Fritz. It’s said that he was a stagehand who hanged himself behind the screen at some point in the past. Another ghost, known as Annabelle, is described as a young girl. Some believe that the ghosts are responsible for the unexplained movements of the stage curtain seen by some visitors. Theater patrons and employees have heard strange sounds, felt cold spots and have the feeling of being watched. There have also been reports of flickering lights and unidentifiable noises in the employees’ locker room. This footage was from back in April 2013 which I filmed with my phone camera. You may notice flying debris caught by my phone camera during the tour inside the theater-building. A combination of bugs, dust, and ?

A recent explore I did in the woods leading to a beautiful water fall. Machine Falls Loop in Tennessee. Being out in nature has always been therapeutic for me. I hope I was able to capture some of that. This is not a video about the paranormal or a haunted location. But for those that want to see something I recently did, here you go. I also tried to put together a fitting soundtrack of music to compliment the visual journey. I dedicate this video to my cousin Robbie who passed away the day I filmed this. There is more on the way from other locations and my channel keeps growing with explorations into the supernatural in some of the most haunted places in the US. So, make sure you subscribe.

Back in April of 2014 while in town for work and doing investigations in Los Angeles, California I spent 3 nights at the Hollywood Historic Hotel. Though I did not spend a lot of time there I still managed to film some and recorded 2 nights in my hotel room with a static camera. Some interesting audio captures and visual anomalies. Original called Melrose Arms, then Melrose Hotel, then Monte Cristo Island Apartments before the name it is today. Built in 1927 by S. Charles Lee, nestled in the heart of filmland, down the road from Paramount Film Studios. I can’t say for sure this place is haunted but with the traffic of housing endless amount of people through Hollywood entertainment history I would expect it has its share of mystery. Here is my account from my time there.

Markus will take me on a tour of Basel, Switzerland (where we were staying), lots of old historical buildings, churches. Moments from places we performed, eating, practicing, socializing.

Ulterior Lux was a Jazz Rock fusion improvisational band. Date: June 1990 A double LP and later a CD version was released from this tour on FAZZUL Music.

Had a label called ThingsFlux Music in which I released my music on records (yep, vinyl LPs), cassettes, and CD’s from 1983 – 1992, and later 2004-2011 as Mejdaji and Dimthingshineon.
