In November, I traveled to Lancashire to speak at the Lapis Khawarq conference. It happened for two days that was hosted and organized before Association for Investigation in abnormal phenomena Lancashire It is not every day that the WHO is to expand an invitation to a gay person-who is not a believer known for their skeptical approach, so it accepted. I decided that it would be a suitable time to present my newly written talk, “The experiences and tribulations of the real ghostbuster”.
I will not lie – I was very tense to being a skeptical speaker at a paranormal conference. I did it before and it was also nerve. In general, I had two goals:
- Share knowledge that has accumulated over the years,
- Don’t sponsor the audience by mistake
You do not worry because everyone I met during my visit to the conference was true, acceptable and stage. Sometimes, I felt as if I was talking to people I knew for a long time even though I just met them. I realized that this is because despite our different beliefs and experiences, we all had one common thing: we are curious. We all had prepared to discuss what could not be achieved – things going at night. Usually, if you open a person about the strange things and the passengers that you care about, you can feel that it is governing you … but at the Lapis conference was not the case, and that was nice. The gentle disregard is often done.
Explore the country of God
Although the conference was held on Saturday and Sunday (the majority of other speakers arrived on Friday), I had already traveled to the north a few days ago because Paul and Janet from Lapis had offered my help in exploring the area. See, my late mom was born in Lancashire and spent most of her childhood in Nelson. I grew up on the stories of the magicians and can stand on the canal bridge at the end of the road where she lived and see the famous Penle Till in the distance. This has a widespread scale for her and a pole in supernatural things. I spent two days exploring the area surrounding the Pendle Hill-including Newchurch in Pendle where the church is said to have a comprehensive eye on a righteous. I will write more about this particular visit in a future blog publication (subscribe to the form on the sidebar to be notified.)
With the help of Paul and Janet, I managed to track the homes where my mother was born and lived in. I should stand on the same channel’s bridge, and took the same opinion to Bandal Hill, whom my mother had taken as a child. It was surrealist at the very least. I also think it was important to do it and I could not thank Paul and Ganet enough to make it possible.
The days that were explored and then crowned at the weekend. On Friday (when we all needed to go to Saint -An, where the conference will happen), we traveled through the Bowland Forest, which is one of the most amazing scenes that I saw ever. You are really in awe. We stopped in Lancaster breakfast and a tour of the castle before we continued at the hotel that all the crew, speakers and many audiences were staying on the St. Ann front.
I was exposed to an absolute explosion and got some great and interesting people. The same conference was a mixed portfolio of speakers on a variety of topics – some of which are more logical than others; From Monsters (Cryptids) that is said to have killed humans, and the strangest elements of Bigfoot (defensive oppression listed in the list), to the strange elements of memory, and talk about the reason for all our fascinated by the fool and the mourning. This last conversation, which was delivered by Reverend Peter Peter – was the most prominent in the conference for me. I had met Peter ahead of the Lapis Ali conference Spooktator But it is clear that the conversation went to more details about his research and the conclusions he reached for his book.Fear: Why do we love monsters, ghosts, death and wound?‘ It is a must, by the way.
What Peter said is a kind of full experience of this week for me. A group of people from all aspects of different life in a beach beach was conducted to listen to each other talking about life and death and everything it is. I heard about someone’s experience in “walking through a ghost”, one of them told me about the time when Bigfoot saw, I heard the story of the investigators who are caught by … hedgehog. I should share some stories about my strange experience as well, and why do I think those of us who achieve in the stranger should really think about what we do and why.
It’s time to reflect
For me, the Lapis conference was part of something slightly larger this week. More than two years after my mother’s death, I was pledged to what I felt as a pilgrimage of some kind, and she regained her early life to see the places and things that she always told me about her childhood. It was a week of discoveries, life and death intertwined and close. From friendships. It is not imagined and reality, strange and familiar, and I am happy that I must be part of it.
The week also gave me a reason to think about supernatural research in general. It often seems to be as if excitement has exceeded sensory when it comes to many societies that surround the fields of supernatural research. Dramatic shots, promotional pictures, YouTube channels that hunt ghosts that promote “the best evidence ever”, unjustified personal photos of researchers who are searching very little, and the famous “haunted” places by redefining what Ghost Research actually contains, all jazz music.
I think we are all guilty of blaming this on many TV devices that seem to appear. YVETTE Award Effect, Zak Bagans. We inherit the latest features of Ghost Adventures Copycat or Indy like helier (which is more exciting for fans-RPG than investigation, in my opinion), to lead things is a delusion because sometimes, everything related to searching for the stranger feels slightly above the upper part.
However, in fact, if she stops temporarily, retreats, and has a peek, things are heading alongside her as she always was. Amid the scandal, drama, press conferences, competition for attention, and equipment, investigators continue to investigate. In fact, when I sat on a train in Birmingham, I realized that the rest is actually just a secondary product. I think wherever you have decent investigators – like a visitor – who is doing a good search, you will always get the least -time behavior from others elsewhere as well. It goes side by side, and this is the status of the ground.
