Ganzfeld – Association of Paranormal Study http://associationofparanormalstudy.com Paranormal teams based in Raleigh, NC & San Diego, CA Sun, 06 Mar 2016 20:42:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.3 Duke’s Ganzfeld Experience http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2012/02/15/dukes-ganzfeld-experience/ http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2012/02/15/dukes-ganzfeld-experience/#respond Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:38:55 +0000 http://associationofparanormalstudy.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/dukes-ganzfeld-experience/ Read more]]> A few nights ago I took part in the Ganzfeld Experiment with the rest of the APS team.
I did a little bit of pre-session research about what it was all about and must admit that I was
a little skeptical about the experiment but went through it with a completely open-minded
approach. I’ve always believed that in this vast world full of mysteries of different sorts and
wonder…ANYTHING is possible.

We conducted the experiment at my apartment, a place where numerous occult rituals
have taken place over the course of the nearly 8 years I have been living there. And although
I don’t recall ever having any sort of paranormal/unexplainable occurrences happening there,
given the nature of some of the activities, who knows what sort of element could be awakened or
tapped into (if any) while partaking in the Ganzfeld Experiments.

As I was undergoing the experiment, I felt totally at ease and relaxed…almost meditative
as the white noise permeated through my head and I focused on the soft pinkish hue. Although
I did not receive any vivid images, I did see occasional shadowy type movements. To me, it
wasn’t anything unnerving, scary or anything like that… just a natural part of the experiment
from what I learned later and I felt totally at ease and mellow.

Although no vivid visions came this time around, I did get thoughts about different
subjects during the “sender/receiver” sessions, and surprisingly guessed a topic that Jay was
sending while I was the subject.

I definitely welcome future opportunities to once again participate in the Ganzfeld
Experiment and may even consider incorporating the experiment into different areas in order to
see just how effective it can be.

News: APS To Begin Ganzfeld Experiment Series http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2012/02/11/news-aps-to-begin-ganzfeld-experiment-series/ http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2012/02/11/news-aps-to-begin-ganzfeld-experiment-series/#respond Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:26:10 +0000 http://associationofparanormalstudy.wordpress.com/?p=93 Read more]]> News: APS To Begin Ganzfeld Experiment Series

The Association of Paranormal Study will begin their series on the Ganzfeld experiment.  APS hopes to eventually use the Ganzfeld as an investigation and research tool for the testing of psychic abilities.  Tonight (2/11/12) will begin a series of experiments that will be carefully supervised and recorded by APS director, Alex.  The volunteers for the night’s experiment will be Duke, Jay and Bev.

If you do not know what the Ganzfeld experiment is, it is an experiment exploring and testing the existence of psychic activity using mild sensory deprivation.  Using red lights, white noise, white glasses and a comfy chair, APS is very excited to explore and test the Ganzfeld experience.

My Experience in Haunted Gettysburg http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2011/11/14/my-experience-in-haunted-gettysburg/ http://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2011/11/14/my-experience-in-haunted-gettysburg/#respond Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:30:05 +0000 http://associationofparanormalstudy.wordpress.com/?p=75 Read more]]> This weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend a field trip to Gettysburg, hosted by the Paranormal Research Society.  It was a weekend of much learning about experiencing activity in one of the most haunted places in the United States.  The last time I was in Gettysburg was in the year 2000 for my eighth grade trip.  So I was excited to go back to this historical landmark and hopefully have some paranormal experiences and investigate.

This trip also marked the first time I’ve participated in the Ganzfeld experiment.  For the last few months, I’ve been doing research to learn more about it and send anything I find to Sergey at PRS.  While I was excited to finally be able to participate, I was also a tad nervous.  I didn’t just do it once.  I participated four times.  My last Ganzfeld session consisted me being a sender, which I will go into in a moment.

Jennie Wade House – For those of you who don’t know, Jennie Wade was the only citizen of Gettysburg who was killed during the battle.  The house where she was shot is still preserved with the actual bullet holes still present and her wooden bread board hanging next to the stove.  This was where I did the Ganzfeld experiment the first time.  Adam Sedlock briefed me on what was going to happen and I put on the white shades, the headphones and faced the red light.  I heard banging during the experience, heard voices, felt like someone was walking around me, felt something play with my hair and I felt like I was in the presence of chaos.

Tillie Pierce House – This was where I participated in the Ganzfeld Experiment three more times.  The second time I participated, there were two people involved this time.  One being a “sender” of an image and the other being a “receiver” wearing the shades, headphones and facing the red light.  While I didn’t receive an image, I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness afterward.  After the first two experiences, I was hesitant to participate again and I initially declined a third opportunity to do it again.  However, after making contact with a presence in the house, I was asked to do the Ganzfeld experiment again.  This time, knowing what I was looking for, I agreed.  It was a positive and enriching experience.  The fourth time I did it, I was the sender along with another person.  I have to say, it was harder being a sender than it was to be the receiver.

I believe that’s as much as I can go into since this was an experiment conducted by PRS.  It was overall a great experience.  I have many more stories from Gettysburg, and I’m still in the process of putting them into words.  I must say that it is amazing how much the battle impacted Gettysburg and permanently imprinted a presence in that town.
