Happy Halloween paranormal enthusiasts! 

Halloween has always been associated with ghosts and ghouls making this time near and dear to a ghost hunters heart. Most people are aware of its origins, but if you would like read more about the origins of Halloween and ghosts, you can read about it here!

In this edition we are excited to bring you some information regarding our most recent investigations at both familiar and new (to us) locations. We will be posting a good deal of evidence very soon in addition to our investigation reports! So be sure to check the forum often for updates!

As always, if you have a topic that you would like explored or have questions about the stories or topics posted, let us know! Just post your replies or create your own thread! Presenting new ideas or examining current ones in a new light is crucial to thinking and no question or idea is ridiculed so long as it is presented in good taste, with the same respect for others doing the same.

We hope you enjoy this month's newsletter.  If there are paranormal topics you would like to see us cover in future newsletters, please leave a note on the DSGH Forum!

Happy hunting!

Diesel Update: First Investigation

Diesel Hines

Last month we informed you that we were planning to have Diesel join the DSGH Team in some paranormal investigations to research to what degree animals are sensitive to the paranormal.  It has been our experience in the past that domestic pets seem to have a natural ability to see or detect the presence of paranormal activity.

Much like people, animals each seem to have there own reactions to things that aren't seemingly within the norm.   Last month Diesel had his first investigation at Adamsville Cemetery.  It is a favorite training ground of DSGH so it seemed appropriate to start Diesel there too!

Sadly, the weather conditions were not great.  Between the constant 15-25mph winds generated by a distant dust storm and other distractions, no conclusiive results of the his ability could be measured.  Not to be dissuaded, Diesel will continue his training as soon as possible!

From the Field:

Adamsville Cemetery and Ima

Adamsville Cemetery

Ima's story continues!  DSGH conducted another investigation at Adamsville to see if More information could be obtained about Ima from the very source.  The weather conditions were terrible but she did make an appearance albiet in her typical coy manner.

Be sure to visit the forum often as the Mystery of Ima Part V will be posted to further discuss Ima and other evidence found at this facinating location!

Don't miss the other encounters the team has had with Ima on the DSGH Forum.

We hope you enjoy the mystery as much as we have bringing it to you.

Investigator Spotlight:

Shawn Bechtel
Name: Meggy Hines
Role: Founder / Lead Investigator
Joined: Established

Q: During an investigation, what is the most important goal you have in mind?
A:
The most important goal for myself is to perform a professional and non-bias'd investigation, although I am a strong believer in the paranormal, I also have a skeptical side. I do want to capture evidence of the paranormal on every investigation that we go on, but that is not always the case. Our investigations would not be bearable if we did not have some light humor and awesome teammates.

Q: How has DSGH impacted your life?
A:
When I started DSGH in February of 2008, my goal was to help out those who were just as confused and scared as I was. I grew up around strange things that couldn’t be explained, visions, dreams, even the physical aspect of having things thrown around by an unseen force. After my accident in 2007 that left me disabled, I knew that I would not be able to continue a career in Law Enforcement, which has always been my passion, so as I sat there, I thought long and hard about what other passions I had, and the need to understand the paranormal and help those in the paranormal area rang loud and clear… and thankfully I listened! I refuse sit at home on the couch and feel sorry for myself, so having DSGH and our awesome teammates keeps my spirit alive.

Q: What is your regular employment?
A:
My regular employment is a Stay-At-Home Mom, i.e. keeper of the zoo in my house, Chef, Babysitter, LOL! I am currently attending online college full time and going for my Associates in Criminal Justice and will be moving forward with my Bachelors. DSGH is a full time job in itself, and it keeps me extremely busy. I am also writing my first fiction novel.
