Steve Clark and Naomi Gorman
Tonight we welcomed the pleasant and amusing Steve Clark and Naomi Gorman of STUR, the Seeking The Unknown Realm online radio show.
Steve and Naomo met investigating Pennhurst Asylum: Steve started out speaking of the house up in which he grew being quite haunted. Naomi noticed a Yawn the rest of us didn't hear. We pointed our having a live EVP taking place during the show would not be unprecedented.
On investigations, they use numerous tools including but not limited to rods, the FLIR thermal cam, K2 and Mel meters, IR cameras, etc.
They discussed some more unorthodox methods, including but not limited to submerging a recorder within a plastic bag. At another investigation they tried having one team in a different part of the location suggest to the local entities to Go Do Something to the other team. Kat recommended peer review of investigation evidence.
Naomi spoke of their experiences at the haunted Tilton Inn, including but not limited to a heavy breath into the recorder, and catching a good photo of an Orb atop a bed along with a mist. Later other investigators there also acquired EVPs including the same breath.
CC reported tonight our having listeners in the US, the UK, Canada, Germany, Costa Rica and the cryptic Unknown...
While my cat Pooka began to gnaw at my earbud mic, Naomi and Steve discussed Ouija boards, and other ways of Opening Doorways, even as simple as asking a spirit for a response. They also pointed out how some people all but become paranoid when it comes to Ouija and such.
Henry asked how they differentiate their investigations between residential investigations as opposed to "big box" places such as Pennhurst, Waverly, etc. Naomi indicated their having a system to be in contact with other team members, and knowing their own voices to clarify if an EVP has been caught or just an investigator.
Before the second break, Henry announced that our June 7th show would be broadcast live from the Bell Nursing Home.
Steve indicated their favourite places to investigated included but wasn't limited to Seacoast Repertory Theatre in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the many tunnels beneath Portsmouth. Naomi indicated their episode of My Ghost Story S06E09 aka episode 64, focusing on the Seacoast Repertory Theatre. They'd like to investigate Alcatraz, Ireland castles, Gettysburg battlefields and Ground Zero in New York, though they realize so much hustle and bustle would make that one a bit more challenging. Naomi indicated there being a jail done up as a castle, simply called the Naval Prison at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
They discussed the origins of their radio show. One of their first guests was actor Sean Whalen, who I quickly learned was at the time had recently finished working on the project The Divine Tragedies written and directed by my friend Jose Prendes.
Kat wondered if they'd encountered ghost at Pennhurt, as she was in the same tour at which were Steve and Naomi. Steve and Naomi went to the Mayflower building, and heard a little girl voice they pursued.
For some reason the show's chat room went blewy towards the end of the show, though this would not affect the show's audio.
Steve and Naomi gave out their official STUR site, within which being the info on their Seeking The Unknown Realm radio show; also that one can just go to their Facebook show page, as well as STURS PI Facebook page. They added the following weekend that they would be at Paranormal for Paws from 1-7pm in Franklin, Mass., information on which also being on the event's Facebook page.
Along with their DTM radio family, they would also be attending Para-History Con 2 May 2-7, at the Fort William Henry in Lake George, New York; for a chance to win tickets to that event, one can email them at intotheunknownrealm@gmail.com (they suggested one hurry to enter, as they'd be announcing the winner Monday April 21st).
They will also be at Ocean State ParaCon July 19 and 20th, at the Assembly Theatre in Harrisville, Rhode Island, at which events conveyed in the movie The Conjuring took place. And obviously they'll be at the Paranormal Awards ceremony June 21st in Manchester, New Hampshire, where they'll be presenting and performing, and for which they're nominated for Radio Show of the Year, and their team being nominated for EVPs of the Year, Interesting Video of the Year, Researcher of the Year, et al. And Naomi was able to remember to plug people can/should listen to their radio show Monday nights. Kat pointed out that she would be a guest on Steve and Naomi's show on May 12th.
I gave out the Paranormal View hub page on my website, indicating people from there can find the show's respective report pages, that we're very findable on Facebook, the official Paranormal View page page. Henry had waited to the very last second, so giving out all my stuff negated enough time for Kat to give out her own websites, or her Miss Grey Smashword site, nor her being able to announce The Paranormal View being now on Twitter under the name @paraviewradio, et al.
Henry managed to squeak in at the last second that our guest the next week would be Barbara Condron regarding Dreams, and we wrapped out.
