Robert Ansley, a paranormal researcher in Austin, spoke to the October meeting of the Heart of Texas Sisters in Crime chapter.
His company is Austin Paranormal Research. Together with his business partner, Elizabeth Lloyd, they investigate client claims of hauntings and Poltergeist activity in the greater Austin area.
Ansley's website is www.austinparanormalresearch.com where he has a list of what he considers the 40 best paranormal books. Also, he told attendees at the presentation to use his website to follow up on anything that was said in his talk as he had only enough time in the presentation to hit the highlights. There’s even more information on his website.
Ghosts don't need battery power, despite what some well-known "paranormal" investigators claim. Ghosts use a source of energy that they know about. They use the natural energy around us.

If you think you see or experience these entities, the first thing you should do is get checked medically. Make sure what you think you are seeing is pharmaceutical.
With the spiritual, a person could be involved in a spiritual war. When that is happening, you need to get yourself blessed and have your house blessed.

Spirits can harm you with a disease, but can't kill you.

A lot of stuff on the Internet about ghosts is wrong.
When a spirit is asked a question, the spirit may answer the question at the same time the question is asked. The answer may also be said backwards.
When spirits talk, they might lie.
Spirits talk fast. That's why you hear knocks when spirits talk -- that's them talking fast. It has to be recorded and slowed down to hear the words.
Spirits can read your mind.
Spirits may be able to communicate through sine waves. That is why they can communicate over the radio.
He has no idea exactly what a spirit is, but he can hear them. Technically, they are discarnate (not having a physical body) entities.
There are also elemental entities. They are little trouble makers. People call them gremlins.
There's something about mirrors.
There are good spirits and bad spirits.
Spirits become attached to people, not so much to a place.
There are portals that are abandoned and that's because there is interference from people.
