Warning- Ghost Divas Live Guests!

August 8th, 2010

wahpWarning!

Please Read before Appearing on Ghost Divas Live

If you are contemplating a guest appearance on the Ghost Divas Live show, we feel it is only fair to warn you, what to expect. The moment your appearance is announced, you will be deluged with emails, phone calls and messages. Some will be from well-meaning friends begging you to reconsider. They will tell you that nothing stops a career faster than an appearance on the Ghost Divas Live show. As THE END is written upon your career you will shunned, silenced and forgotten. You will be black-balled, your phone will stop ringing and no one will want you to appear at their conference. Dire, indeed, but it gets worse. If your friends are kind, your enemies and those of the Ghost Divas, won’t be. First off, they will threaten to delete you from their Facebook friends list. Say, it isn’t so! Next up they will never in life, or death for that matter, buy another of your books, attend another of your lectures, or listen to another of your radio shows. If that isn’t enough to give you second thoughts about your guest appearance on Ghost Divas Live, the name calling will begin. Do you realize what bitches the Divas are? Do you want to hang your name with theirs, even if only for an hour? And think of the podcasts? Everyone will know that you dared to talk with the Divas. Are you shamed yet?

Take a deep breath and relax. Before you become a bundle of nerves, please peruse the following list of some of our guests on the Ghost Divas Live show. Do you think their appearances on our show ruined their careers?

The entire Ghost Adventures Crew
TV’s Project Runway & TLC’s GownCrazy – Johnathan Kayne Gillaspe

So, in closing… we want to thank everyone that is keeping up with the Ghost Divas Live, our guests and assisting us with keeping our no nonsense approach alive and well. Without people warning others, it helps us filter through the good, the bad and those that simply have something to hide? Or maybe they are just afraid that 8th grade quality rumors are real?

The good, the bad and the blind

August 5th, 2010

Sometimes it is hard to hear the truth, especially if it burst the bubble one has created around a friend, acquaintance or even someone you have seen on TV. Being a fan of a TV personality is not an easy task. Fans love their idols unconditionally and refuse to hear a harsh word about them. They feel sympathy for them as their idols are being shackled and chained and sent off to “Celebrity prison” because they got busted. A real fan will always feel compelled to believe it was a set up or perhaps mistaken identity. A true fan will ignore the facts. They will claim it to be altered or photo-shopped. A true fan will cover up and do medical research and blog and post on social media networks keeping the other fans posted as to why their celebrity is currently acting like a lunatic. A true fan will watch the video tape and demand an FBI encoded date stamp a lie detector certificate of truth and the blood of a lamb from Switzerland, born only in September of course. A true fan is blind, obsessive and has extensive enthusiasm towards the celebrity because the celebrity is somewhere they more than likely wish to be. Some fans seem to think they “know the celebrity, on a personal level.” Perhaps they met them at some paranormal conference where they paid a hefty price to shake hands with them and get five minutes of one on one time with them. “They are so nice, they could never do or say that.” That’s what celebrities do, they pretend and walk away with your money. No, I am not suggesting that all celebrities are assholes, but if you paid money to meet them, trust me they are being nice to each and every person that passed the buck. There is a good chance that they are laughing at you, the self proclaimed biggest fan of all after you left. They agreed you had something “unexplainable” in your photo from 1998 at your grandma’s family get together. But because you paid them to be “nice” to you, they will not tell you the truth. The truth being you had a ghostly camera strap captured and nothing more. They are so nice huh?

This is where the phrase “Parasocial Interaction” comes into play. The distance between reality and imagination. Personally, this is very common in the paranormal field. It’s everywhere. People are fans of people that appear to be something they are not. From wanna be rapping film producers that appear to be “all that and 12 bags of chips”, but what the fan does not realize is that the celebrity they have created is serving grande low fat mocha-latte’s every day. They come home and build their “celebrity life” on the internet because there are enough people out there to believe that this person is a “somebody”.   Why not become a fan of your coffee shop guy in real life? At least he can hook you up with some biscotti or something?

This week, we interviewed Brian and Michelle Harnois and Jeff and Shannon Sylvia. It was a extensive interview where many questions were answered. For one Paranormal Celebrity her reality finally caught up with her and the trail of lies she left behind. Many people fell for it and now see that she really isn’t that “Saint of a person” they thought she was. But there are still the “fans” that refuse to see the truth, hear the truth and will never think negatively about their chosen celebrity that is “nice to them”. But to the fan, they are a celebrity and they can get away with it right?

In case you missed this controversial interview we invite you to sit back and relax. It’s over 2 hours long and should answer any and all questions about a particular para-celebrity.  One more thing,  if you bring up particular peoples names at your office, do they really know who you are talking about? I doubt it.

No Paranormal Drama? The good, the bad the ugly

August 3rd, 2010

No Paranormal Drama was a great idea. No doubt the site was started with the best of intentions and many joined with those same intentions.

But we know about the best laid plans of mice and men…. And so it is with some who signed on for the No Paranormal Drama.

One minute they are on the No Paranormal Drama proclaiming let’s work together, down with drama, the next they are on a hate spewing site, encouraging drama and hatred. Perhaps they don’t see the irony and hypocrisy of their actions. But others do.

Drama is drama, no matter how you look at it. No matter how self-righteous and indignant, we may feel, drama is drama. If you insist on taking a stand, then you are either for drama or you are against drama. You can’t paddle two canoes at once and you can’t take a stand against drama on the one site, while encouraging it on another. People will see your hypocrisy.

It is one thing to talk about no paranormal drama…It is another to actually practice what you preach. `Janice O.

Crossing the line of Cyber-Bullying in the paranormal field.

July 19th, 2010

Below is an email I sent out to as many people as I possibly could this evening.  I just want people to see what kind of person this guy truly is and what levels he will stoop too, just to get a feeling of power. This is the most pathetic display of  insanity I have witnessed in a long time. This guy seems to think it’s his “job” of some kind to enter into any and all “battles” taking place in the paranormal field. In reality, he’s never even conducted a minute of research and has no clue as to what it is. He’s involved because he wants attention and nothing more.  The email below states briefly as to what took place. Without going into further details, his Facebook actions speak louder than his screaming, yelling and violent threats could ever be.  We have ALL dealt with him in some shape or form. My family has been on alert because of him and I had to go as far as contacting my local police department because of the people he was encouraging to harass me and my children. This is IT, he has crossed the line this time! If you support him SHAME ON YOU! If  you do not see the alarming nature and mentality of this guy you have your own demons to deal with. Please read… this is not a debate. Just an information blog.

This email was sent to A LOT of people in the field. Some you may know, some you may not. I just wanted to get it out to as many people that I could think of. THIS crap needs to stop NOW!

_____________________________________________________

First of all,  I am not interested in your opinion of me, the Ghost Divas or anything along that line. I am sending you this so YOU can see what kind of person you potentially may be dealing with. Enough is enough. Danny Paden aka Reap Sow has crossed many lines with his anger, but this takes the cake. I am NOT defending the actions of the kids that took over the recently created and now deleted page where my name was attached. It was a child like mindset by those that created the page, I will not name at this time, but trust me, they are included in this email. Sure, the kids took over the page and he (reap) jumped on the bandwagon to fight with each and every one of them! Now, Danny Paden continues to pick fights with 15 1/2 year old boys!
I have already warned all the teens that may be linked up to this game Danny and his accomplices are up too, but it’s gone too far when KIDS are involved! I have asked them to report and ignore him, I hope they follow through. Physically threatening children is NEVER a good thing, NO MATTER WHAT THE SUBJECT IS. The difference between them is that they are REAL children, he is a 40 something year old ADULT.

I stumbled upon this this evening and I had NO IDEA that Danny Paden/REAP was CONTINUING the cyber bullying after that Facebook page was removed. As a parent I am appalled by the actions of this 40 something grown man!  Kids will be kids, because they ARE KIDS. But the mindset of Danny Paden at this point is reckless, immature and a perfect example of what a “Cyber Bully” truly is. (quote from below text)
” Reap Sow -

she probably took her own life thinking bout what she had done givin birth to you”

That is NOT funny and no adult should EVER speak to a child like that, no matter how “punkish” the child may be on his own FB page. I don’t care if you send this to him, blog it, share it, post it all over the internet in an attempt to “get back at me” for having an opinion that you may not like. It’s time to grow up folks and take a peek at what is REALLY going on with this guy. You may all think we are “mean” or whatever, but we would NEVER and I mean NEVER harass children, and I know you all know that.
I hope and pray that you see that this is inappropriate.

I know this is unwanted drama and If you do nothing more than read and delete this, this is all I wish. I do not wish to discuss or get into any kind of debate over his actions. I just wanted everyone to see what kind of “man” he really is. It’s not funny and it’s not “powerful”, it’s sad, pathetic and very alarming. I don’t care if  you are friends with him or whatever. I am just sharing what has been going on. I don’t expect anyone to take action or side with anyone , I am just sharing this horrific display of anger with you. Do with it what you will.

Rick Mora- Actor, Model and all around good guy!

July 18th, 2010

Rick Mora

Rick Mora

This month we had the privilege to interview Actor, Model and all around super talent Rick Mora. Yes, we did find him on the internet and were struck by his complete HAWTNESS.  We are only human!

We asked him to come on Ghost Divas Live and do an interview and to our surprise he agreed. Rick has a new movie coming out and we wanted to give him the opportunity to talk about it and get the word out about several things. 1) His acting talent. 2) His remarkable bone structure and look as a model and 3) the fact that he’s HAWT!

We were giddy with excitement as we interviewed him but as we quickly learned, Rick is not the least bit arrogant. He is aware that men and women swoon over his physical presence.  We thought we loved Rick Mora, after this interview we realized that we do. Even the men that listen to Ghost Divas Live each week realized that yeah, “He’s a cool guy”. They even added him on Facebook… with thousands of drooling women. (Including us!) Rick is a good guy. A nice guy that does not have the arrogance of most “ghost hunters” today. Oh, he’s not a ghost hunter at all. He was  a breath of fresh air to us and our listeners. He is motivating, open and honest about his goals and his life. It’s very rare to meet and talk with upcoming actors that have a good head on their shoulders and are not cocky or an egomaniac.

We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did! You can hear our smile throughout the entire hour!  Thank you Rick and we are happy to review your recent film! We are even more happy to watch ;)   Kudos to Rick and we know you will go very far in career!

A note to those that would like to “bash” us for acting like overly excited little school girls with a hellacious crush… we have one thing to say to you…

WE DON’T CARE!

Ghost Diva Resignation?

July 12th, 2010

As much as we hate to announce, but Ghost Diva TonyaK is officially resigning. We have missed her greatly on the blogs and on the radio show each week. We love TonyaK and we support her in everything she needs to do. She has not “gone away” from us as you will read in her announcement that our friendships and her as one of our mentors will never fade away. We are supporters of “real life” and not the online persona’s that so many people in this field latch onto. Her message of practical and rational skepticism has helped all of us form a valid outlook towards rational and critical thinking. We have learned so much from her it’s hard to put into words. Although she may not be active in the public eye, she will always be our friend, mentor and voice of reason in the field or paranormal research. TonyaK, thank you for not being a condescending skeptic and helping us and many others “keep it real-ity” within our paranormal journeys. We wish you the best of luck and we know your inner “diva” will always shine.

A NOTE FROM TONYAK

I’m sure the following blog will not come as a huge surprise to any of you. I have resigned as an official “Ghost Diva.” While there are multiple reasons that have led me to this decision, I can assure you that none of those reasons are drama-induced. I will remain friends with these wonderful individuals for years to come, and those friendships are what have prevented me from removing myself sooner.

My life is moving in a different direction, and I simply lack the time, motivation, and energy to put forth the effort in a manner that would make me an equal contributor. It is really as short and simple as that. I have appreciated the opportunity to learn from all of you over the past two and a half years, and look forward to continuing our discussions and exchange of ideas. The only thing that has changed is that I will be speaking as an individual rather than as part of a group.

Tonya K.

An open letter to Jersey Shore Paranormal

June 21st, 2010

An open letter to Jersey Shore Paranormal:

This weekend you asked people involved in the paranormal the following:

“We encourage all of our friends to post comments and send message to Dan Bell, Shannon Sylvia, Rie Sadler and the Ghost Diva’s, explaining just how much none of us will tolerate their Rude, Vile, Slanderous and Disgusting behavior and thier on going attacks on one of the most Professional Women in this field, Donna LaCroix, let them know that this must stop, delete them as friends”

We are attacking no one. We simply told the truth! The podcast is up, and has been since the interview with Ms. LaCroix. All we have ever asked is that people listen to it in its entirety and make up their own minds. If anyone has been attacked here, Jersey Shore, it is us. Slinging mud is never a good thing, especially for someone calling themselves paranormal investigators.

Those of us, who have been in the field any length of time, endeavor to present rock solid facts to back up our investigations. An investigator earns respect by good research techniques and gathering all the facts, before reaching a conclusion. Respect isn’t earned by jumping on some para-celeb bandwagon, gathering autographs, spewing accusations while trying to stir up dissension against someone who disagrees with you.

Jersey Shore Paranormal, you have started a campaign to malign us without knowing all the facts. You have accused us of slander. Do you understand what slander is? How about libel? You have called us rude and vile. So you won’t tolerate what you see as our rude and vile behavior? How about your own rude and vile behavior? Should that be tolerated? We have NEVER asked anyone to delete anyone else. NEVER! We are adults. As such, we realize that there are people in the world who will agree with us and there are people who won’t.

Jersey Shore Paranormal, we believe you are judgmental, inexperienced investigators, lacking in investigative abilities, attention seeking and trying to make a name for yourself in this field by riding on some para-celebs coattails. We are amused at your website that brags on your use of the K-2 and the Ovilus. And about calling the Ovilus a communication device, do you actually tell your clients that? Do you really believe the Ovilus is a communication device? Didn’t you see the disclaimer that states, for entertainment purposes only? How do you explain that to your clients? Or do you?

Finally, do you realize that none of the Ghost Divas were involved in the recent Movie Dan videos? Or did you just leap to another conclusion and assume that we were? Disgusting behavior? Pick up that mirror and take a good look at yourself, Jersey Shore Paranormal!

Remember the Puckett’s ghost video? aka the Junk Yard Ghost?

June 14th, 2010

As you may recall, several years ago there was something captured on the security cameras at Puckett’s junk yard in Oklahoma City.  The video has made the rounds to paranormal investigation teams and television shows all over the country and many of them have tried to recreate it and though many of them have had good theories and some of them think they have made some awesome groundbreaking discovery – they have not.

Tonya found out late last year what we believe to be what really happened and announced as much.  She said that sometime after the first of the year she would be producing the answer.  So here it is June and some people are reaching so far for something to mother fuck her about, that now they’re bitching because she hasn’t provided them the answer.

First of all, we have real lives, jobs & families that take precedence over any of this ghost crap.  Secondly, she doesn’t owe you anything.  Thirdly, we live in different cities and the logistics of putting together the video and everything involved with it has been in a pain in the ass.  So when she gets it done, we will share it with the world. Until then, pull your wadded up panties outta your ass and quit crying about it.

It’s Official – the paranormal community is full of 12 year old girls.

June 14th, 2010

OK, I’m going to address a couple of things here.

First of all – Donna LaCroix is about the biggest damned crybaby I have ever seen.  She does an interview OF HER OWN FREE WILL and says things she wishes she didn’t so she twists that to be OUR fault – which is bullshit.  Then she LIES about having cancer and gets butt hurt when she gets called out for it – again, not anyone’s fault but HER OWN.  Now she’s crying about being bullied.

Then you have He Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned, simply because we don’t want to advertise for him, thinking that every Facebook post or comment on the show is about him – guess what – it ain’t all about you.  It’s OLD NEWS. We have moved on – in fact, we really didn’t even spend much time on it at all. It’s INSIGNIFICANT to us.

In the REAL world, we have jobs and families.  We don’t do this “for a living” – we do this for FUN.  In the real world, any one of us would run over and watch each other’s kids or pick up a mime from the airport or bring chicken if someone’s mama died because we are REAL friends.  Do we bicker – hell yes we do. We tell each other when we’re pissed and then we get the fuck over it and move on. That’s what REAL friends do.

They do not threaten you, they do not harass you, they do not spend every waking moment fucking with you.

Some of you need to grow the hell up and stop acting like a damned bunch of middle school girls.  Get a life and enjoy it.  How miserable your REAL life must be if you really have nothing better to do.

We’ve said it a million times – you may not agree with what we say or how we say it and that’s fine, but we DO NOT LIE no matter how much the little man behind the curtain tells you we do.  We have nothing to hide no matter what people think they are going to “expose.”  We have no hidden agendas – what you see is what you get – nothing more than a few opinionated women that aren’t scared to speak their minds. Period. It’s that simple. If that threatens you, grow up.

Oh, and “spiders” is not a metaphor for anything.  Tonya posted she killed a spider and people freaked the hell out thinking they were talking about them. Are you fucking kidding me?? YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

Just like EVERY OTHER idiot that’s been a pain in our ass, you are both old news and no one is talking about you no matter how much you crave the attention and NEED for people to talk about you – it’s simply not happening.
