Ryan Buell (Paranormal State) Presentation at Penn College

Laura and I were lucky enough to get to Pennsylvania College of Technology tonight to see Ryan Buell and Sergey Poberezhny talk about the paranormal. I learned we are so much alike it's uncanny. They spoke about a lot of the issues I have addressed on this website such as digital cameras, orbs, mindset, religious beliefs, etc. Our group must be on the right path as there was nothing they talked about that we haven't already posted in some form or another. I did like how passionate Ryan was when addressing the problem a ghost hunting group was having, and agree with the prerequisites in attempting to enlist the help of religious persons for more than just a blessing. *First, get a medical and psychological screening done to see if your problem may be health related --this helps to preclude hidden problems and shows an effort ahead of time that you're serious about your problem (paraphrased of course).
Also the warning he provided to would be paranormal investigators - Be prepared to deal with the consequences of what you're doing. This has to be emotional, physical, and theological. If you're not ready, don't start seeking the unknown, you may not like what it has to share with you. Basically, if you hunt lions, know that lions may also hunt you ....they're better prepared in their own environment.
I was reluctant to attend as I shun what television has done to this endeavor....but I felt better knowing Ryan admitted it takes about 12,000 minutes of footage to make a 22 minute episode. That's a lot of data! Too bad tht's not explained well enough on TV, because analysis and tenacity are the weakest points in every paranormal group I know.
Overall, we were both impressed with the time they took to explain things and enlighten those who attended with little or no knowledge of the paranormal, other than what they see on TV.
Thanks guys!

Hi there. I have been going through a lot recently and it involves my boyfriend. This happened a few years ago, but it still haunts me, no pun intended! A few years ago my boyfriend came home and I was just sitting in my room watching tv. He came in, without saying a word, which is unusual for him, and sat down on the bed. He started watching tv and after noticing a piece of loose hair in his face I removed the hair away from his face. As soon as I did this he grabbed my wrist and twisted it backwards, hurting me. While he was still holding my wrist he gave me a look that scared me. I feel like if I had made a joke or done anything else he may have very well started beating me. After he let go of my arm he got up, got a shirt, and left. He didn't smell like alcohol and as far as I know he wasn't doing any hard core drugs. I have asked him repeatedly about that night and he claims he doesn't remember it and claims it didn't happen. In addition to this, about a year ago, a man who claimed to be a prophet, told me I should leave my bf because he was going to beat me up really bad and leave me. Then the guy said that it wouldn't be HIM hurting me but the devil inside of him. I always thought the guy meant he would physically hurt me, but I think now he may have meant emotionally. My bf has recently started treating me very badly and recently told me he was leaving me to go to Mexico with his mother. The week before he told me he was leaving he had told me he liked me and then added, "no, I don't like you...I love you." This was on his own will. I hadn't said anything. So him suddenly leaving seems very strange to me. My question for you is if someone is demon possessed can they seem somewhat normal? And are they sometimes quiet, but violent like the incident I explained earlier with him twisting my arm back?

Melanie,
I first need to say I'm not qualified to give medical advice. My first impression based on what you said is the possibility he has schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or something of that nature. My second thought since you mentioned he didn't appear to be intoxicated or use hard core drugs is the possibility if he uses any illicit drugs at all something could have been added (much like PCP is sometimes added to marijuana for an extra kick). I know most drugs can interfere with normal thought processes and if he's using anything I would consider this a possibility. As for demons (again, opinion only) they will manifest as often as they wish but likely if it was some kind of possession this would be more and more frequent as whatever it is gains control over him. As for prophets telling you what he is going to do it says in the Bible there are many false prophets, so I would tend to believe this person is guessing or knows your boyfriend. Be careful in what you believe as self-fulfiling prophecy is easily mistaken for true prophecy. If this prophet is acquainted with you and/or your boyfriend he may have some ulterior motive to separate you and be feeding both of you bad information to make his predicition come true.
My advice is first to recognize if he has hurt you in the past, it can happen again. If you felt threatened (as it seems you did), this is an internal warning to you that something isn't right and you should be careful with proceeding with the relationship (again, just wisdom of age, not of an expert).
Secondly, if you think there is a possible medical condition or history of drug use (no matter how minor) as I mentioned before, he should been seen by a professional who deals with this. I know for a fact that even using LSD one time can have intermittent lifelong affects because a friend of mine has this problem.
Before considering the demonic, I always consider other possibilities first and try to have them ruled out by a professional. I am not in a position to comfortably say any of my advice is professional, but as a former police officer and with the training I had, I can see a pattern I've witnessed in the past and would urge you to consider these things first.

Hi John! Thanks for responding so quickly! I had kind of thought the same thing, as far as if he were demon possessed there would probably be more instances of him doing stuff like this and it would get worst and worst. I tended to partially believe what this prophetic guy had said because he said some VERY specific things to me. I am agnostic and very skeptical of what people say. I had a bizzare incident happen to me right before this prophet visited me. I was laying on my bed in the dark with the hallway light on. I noticed 2 black, what looked like rectangles just above my bed. I wasn't very tired, so my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. And at the moment I felt like there was also something in the room with me. I was a little scared but chalked it up to my imagination. I saw these black rectangles above my bed two nights in a row. When I spoke with this supposed prophet he asked me if I had been recently sensing something in my room. I said yes and he told me there were demons in my room. Also this man asked me if I went to church and I said 'no', but that I did go to a weekly group. He asked me if people burned things in this group. I said yes. He told me it was witchcraft and not to go there anymore. I tested him and asked him what else went on in the group. He said there was chanting, which there was. I had never told anyone about these things. This man also knew I had been suicidal in the recent past but hadn't gone through with it because I didn't want my daughter to suffer without a mom. I had only thought this in my head and never said a word to anyone about it.
As for my boyfriend, I have no idea what is going on with him. He was only violent that one time. He has been very emotionally abusive to me though. He's laughed at me when I'm upset. He has lied to me about a lot. He was recently complaining about my appearance and when I asked him if he would leave if I didn't change anything about the way I looked he said "maybe." I look the same as the day we met and he used to shower me with compliments and be extremely nurturing. He started not showing up when we were supposed to go out and even was a no-show when he was supposed to go out with my daughter and I bowling. He was unapologetic when I told him that for hours while we waited for him my daughter was asking when he was coming and when we were gonna go. (My daughter's 8 and my bf has been in her life for 4 years)
I noticed you mentioned you worked as a cop. I am curious to know if you found a pattern in women abused by men, i.e, their dads weren't there for them or were abusive to them? I notice that a lot of the men I'm attracted to are unavailable emotionally for me, jealous, abusive or just abandon me. My daughter's father left us for 4 years.
Abuse seems to be on both sides of my family. My grandpa was an alcoholic and abusive to my grandma. My other grandpa could be verbally abusive. He once called me stupid when I was around 10 cause I couldn't remember the name of a street I had walked on that day. My dad was very controlling and abusive with my mom, and on and on...
I would like to break what seems to be a cycle of being attracted to losers, but I'm not sure how to change that.
