Cases We Don't Accept - Mainly for Private Residence Requests
There is a lot in determining what cases to accept and why. Our clients' well-being and personal safety are paramount. It's because of this why we are meticulous in deciding which case studies to take on or dismiss. If we elect not to take on your particular case, please understand that it's not because we don't want to be of help - there are certain situations that can potentially have negative ramifications, which can worsen the family dynamic or influence mental / physical health issues, for example. Here is a general list of reasons why we will not pursue your investigation request:
- Not all adult family members residing at the location are in agreement of having a paranormal investigation conducted on the premises; we will need written agreement by all adults living in the home for us to pursue the case.
- Situations where those residing at the location are dealing with significant mental and/or physical health issues;
- Requesting a paranormal investigation mainly to gain media attention;
- Cases when there is a pregnant or lactating individual residing at the home;
- Cases that have been investigated by another paranormal research team - we will occasionally make exceptions on this, depending on certain circumstances;
- Cases of alleged demonic / malevolent energy. See below for more information;
- Foreclosure on the home;
- Situations where the family residing at the home is dealing with legal matters
- Requests that come from a minor will be ignored; all requests have to come from someone over the age of 21
Cases Involving Alleged Malevolent Activity
We at the San Diego Paranormal Research Society are here to help you; however, if you’re convinced that you have a malevolent entity or you have negative energy in your location or attached to you, we strongly recommend that you contact a member of the clergy or spiritual counselor immediately and ask him / her for help. We understand how it can be a scary process to encounter something that you cannot logically explain. Through our years of study and experience as paranormal researchers, we strongly believe that authentic malevolent cases are in fact, extremely rare. Extremely rare!
The majority of cases of alleged negative energy have to do with external factors other than true paranormal phenomena – Hollywood, the current paranormal “para-tainment” TV shows and their focus on spiritual energy being evil and wicked, occasional mental illness, religious predisposition, etc. In other words, a person may think he or she is being afflicted by some evil force; but in reality, what’s going on in that location often times has nothing to do with the supernatural, paranormal or demonic energy but external issues stemming from a person's life. This is why the San Diego Paranormal Research Society is a huge proponent of educating the public that people should not inherently fear spiritual energy as the majority of ethereal beings are benign, curious and friendly. Again, an authentic malevolent haunting is very rare.
Tulpas and Thought Projections - Their Influence(s) on Paranormal Phenomena and Research
The term “tulpa” is a Tibetan word, meaning “emanation” or “manifestation,” which describes a form of thought projection. For example, the Shangri-La or fictional earthly paradise full of mysticism and harmony, as described in James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon, is a prime example of a “tulpified” location, where constant thought about it has practically caused it to come to life. So, in essence, a tulpa is a thought projection that has come to life. In order to power the tulpa, a person has to spend much time to the thought he or she is forming in his or her mind. The more attentiveness to it, the more it will generate energy and life. The whole notion of malevolent energy and demonic beings are in a sense, one huge tulpa that has gained more energy through the years.
If the paranormal community at large starts to focus less on the concept of extremely negative beings, I do believe that the tulpa’s power will lessen. Sadly, it’s being propelled not only by a person’s belief, but by mainstream media, such as the supernatural-themed television shows. Unfortunately, these programs are strongly confusing people by showcasing how spiritual energy is mostly wicked and cruel. Furthermore, these widely distributed television ensembles do little to advance the paranormal research discipline – thus, earning them the moniker of “para-tainment.” Hollywood has further ignited the tulpa due to its numerous films about spiritual entities attacking humans. Although these movies are essentially made for entertainment, they misconceive those who watch them, leading these individuals to believe that the supernatural should be feared – once again, the tulpa is charged.
Furthermore, this problem is causing teams to receive many paranormal research requests from those who believe they have a malevolent entity in their home or business. Perhaps, if society in general didn’t highly focus on these hateful tulpa-fixed energies and therefore instilling fear in people, then we would see less of these particular case requests – and thus, have more time to devote to those investigation requests with genuine paranormal phenomena. In other words, ghost researchers around the world need to spend more time educating humanity about the consequences of these tulpas and generated thought formations and projections. Additionally, the more powered this specific tulpa is, the more it will influence certain religions that already have a preconceiving notion that ghosts and spirits are malevolent. While striving to avoid disrespect of someone’s religion, it is also critically important to help prohibit certain religious beliefs that are caused by something that isn’t actually real. If a certain faith is influenced by something that is tulpa-created, it could cause superfluous and polluting issues for that particular type of dogma.
We all have our own personal “demons” or baggage to contend with. It’s vitally important that we recognize the signs of projecting our own issues onto the environment. As a defense mechanism, it is sometimes easier to project or displace our personal problems onto someone else. As veteran paranormal researchers, we are noticing that people are also blaming some of their own individual issues on the paranormal, instead of dealing with them head-on. By doing so, some of these folks are making it seem that the ghost in their house is responsible for their emotional or mental issues. Now, in rare cases, this can be the result of some type of spiritual possession, but then again, this is rare. When an investigating team acquires a case request regarding this problem, it is a delicate process to weave through. It is for this reason why we strongly support supernatural researchers further educating themselves in medicine, psychology, abnormal psychology, sociology, etc., as it will help them to recognize when the dilemma is originated by external factors other than ghostly phenomena.
There needs to be more study devoted to the differences between negative entities versus actual malevolent beings. In our opinion, these are two words that should be separated as they do connote two separate meanings. The San Diego Paranormal Research Society has differentiated these two types of energies by applying definitions for them. Negative energies or lower level entities comprise the spiritual makeup of once living individuals who were innately mean or lived an unhappy life. In ghostly form, these particular earthbound units showcase themselves to mortal beings just as they would when they were of body: gruff, mean, territorial, etc. Now, true malevolent entities are theorized to be non-human creatures with the intent to harm the living. There are telltale signs of the presence of these organisms, which directly affect the person(s) they’re after. For example, those dealing with an authentic malevolent haunting may experience a plethora of unwanted situations – odd sulfur-aroma smells, changes in personality or health, a sense of impending doom, strong psychokinetic (PK) interference, odd animal behavior, etc. As paranormal researchers, it is our duty to educate people about the differences between these two types of spiritual beings; by doing so, we will help to prevent the undesired consequences that accompany a misconception about them. Furthermore, this will help stop the tulpa from gaining more life-sustaining energy.
In modern day society, we are at a crossroads in regards to paranormal research. Collectively, we can go down the path to forwarding and advancing the field for the betterment of humanity or we can go down the other path that will, eventually cripple its foundation. Learning more about tulpas and thought projections are significantly imperative to the survival of supernatural field research. It is for this reason why we highly believe that both terms should be included in the classification list of ghosts and hauntings.
While we don’t want to undermine your concerns, and for the reasons listed above, we do want to let prospective clients know that we elect to not take on cases of alleged malevolent and demonic forces. If, after examining your situation, you still feel that you are being afflicted by a so-called demonic entity, then we strongly encourage you to seek assistance from a member of your clergy and/or seek the help of a spiritual counselor or team that specializes in these types of cases. Of course, if you want more education on the classic signs of a malevolent haunting, then we would be happy to further speak to you; but, again, we do not take on case requests of alleged negative activity.
Due to the fact that we at the San Diego Paranormal Research Society are also parents, teachers, care givers, etc., it is important for us to keep our energy positive. In addition to reaching out to a religious institution of choice or spiritual counselor, should you feel that negative forces are bothering you, we highly suggest that you keep light, love and positive thoughts in your everyday life.
