Paranormal Investigations, 1932-1934 - nos. 13, 14, 15 (2012)
O scale (1:48)
So, the actual full title of this series is Paranormal Investigations, 1932-1934: Highgate & Kensall Green Cemeteries, London, England—A Photographic Exploration by Eadweard J. Lyndhurst, MD, PhD, DD. For some reason, while I was compiling these shots into a photo book, I felt the need to connect them by a loose fictional narrative thread. Then, I wrote a fictional introduction by an unnamed editor that presented the photos and notations as the found objects of a little-known English paranormal investigator named Eadweard J. Lyndhurst and his intrepid young assistant, Trevor.

hey guys! hayle here, one of two admins on this blog! so i'm in the editing phase of a mahito x m!reader fic involving the yawata no yabushirazu forest in ichikawa, japan, s i thought i'd make a little post including some research i've done, as well as some information regarding some of the devices mahito and reader use to communicate with the spirits in the forest they're in. read up, and feel free to reblog this to spread the info to friends!
the yawata no yabushirazu forest, commonly shortened to "yawata forest," or "the forbidden forest," ichikawa is a sizeable and fairly developed city just outside tokyo, less than half an hour away, with an estimated population of 500,000 people. ichikawa lies in the western kiba chen prefecture of east-central honshu, japan. ichikawa is located along the edo river, and across the river borders tokyo to the west, and is also located just northwest of funabashi.
the yawata forest is home to many spiritual legends, many of which are the primary reason the forest was given its name. one fairly prevalent theory about the yawata forest is that it's involved with taira no masakado, who the japanese label to be the first samurai.
another largely effective reason the forest is so famous is because of the large expanse of trees' funny little habit of whisking people away to never be seen again, which leads me to a comment mahito makes in the story: " 'did you know that this forest is part of what inspired spirited away? the studio ghibli movie?' mahito says softly, grinning."
mahito was correct in making this comment; a considerably large piece of the inspiration for studio ghibli's animated movie spirited away was the yawata forest's silly little habit of, essentially, repeated mass kidnapping.
the story in question involves some moderately heavy paranormal content, a large part of which consists of mahito and reader using some paranormal investigation devices such as the ovilus, the spirit box, the electromagnetic field (emf) reader, and more. now don't mind me while i explain the main uses of each device that appears in the story.
the ovilus - the ovilus is a communication device invented in god knows when by bill chappel. the device used by professional and amateur/just-for-fun explorers and ghost hunters in paranormal investigations. the device works by detecting electromagnetic energy- which may appear in the form of, for example, voices that living ears can't detect- then assigning a number to it that corresponds with a word in the dictionary. spirits and other entities (ie: demons, poltergeists) use the ovilus to attempt conversations with the living people who are operating the device. some alternatives to the ovilus that operate similarly are the spirit box, the hexcom, and the polterscript.
the estes method - the estes method is a method of interworld communication used by some of the more daring explorers and ghost hunters. the method was created by karl pfeiffer during his investigation of the stanley hotel in estes park, colorado, and is now a widely popular method of communication that many people use. the method requires two or more people in order for the attempt(s) to work, and it involves one- sometimes two, as seen in some of sam and colby's videos- people putting on noise-cancelling headphones that are connected to a spirit box. the person(s) wearing the headphones are also blindfolded. the other member(s) of the group ask the spirits questions and attempt general conversations with the spirits in the room or area, and the spirits or entities may choose to or not to use the spirit box to speak into the headphones, sometimes in response to questions asked by the living side of the conversation, and the wearer(s) of the headphones and blindfold repeat every word they hear. the estes method is very effective, and many questions asked receive an answer, but sometimes the words they spirits say are random, and sometimes they're unsolicited tid bits of information corresponding to the spirit's death, their opinions, their goals, etc.
the séance method - the séance method is another common communication method used by explorers and paranormal investigators. this method is sort of similar to the estes method, but this one fortunately doesn't involve cutting off people's two most important senses. the seance method involves setting candles in a circle on a table or floor and lighting them, and it's not uncommon for people to put cups of water and relevant objects inside the circle and surround the circle of candles and/or sometimes the area directly around them with a line of salt as an attempt to keep potential poltergeists and malevolent spirits at bay of physical contact; most people don't want to be scratched and burned by demons posing as little girls with depressing death stories. the séance method has been used many times in historically famous attempts at conversation with spirits, demons, poltergeists, etc., and seems to have a lightly sporadic rate of failure versus success in comparison to the estes method, which almost always works, whether it's just the spirit box spewing shit or an actual spirit.

Intelligent Interaction at Victorian View
Laynee & Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal were just setting up to conduct a Private Paranormal Investigation at The Victorian View in Washington Iowa USA when they encountered a lot of device interactions on the first floor of the Victorian View in Washington Iowa.
Laynee & Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal even captured what they believe was a disembodied voice in The Victorian View Venue Banquet.

Paranormal Investigations, 1932-1934 - nos. 7, 10, 11 (2012)
O scale (1:48)
I began the Paranormal Investigations series in 2012, about a year after I had started shooting miniatures. I was still working with O scale toys, but I had discovered something called Lemax Spooky Town. These craft store decorations and figures are only sold in stores around Halloween, and I had run into some in a local craft shop. Mostly, they’re a bit too cartoonish for my taste, but they did have some really good looking coffins, headstones, and one really excellent ghost figure that is mounted on a base by a wire stand. It’s basically a small skull and shoulders draped with black strips of fabric, so there are variations in the way light passes through the figure. I bought three of them, and I think they still look great.

I know that this is quite the random musing, but I’ve been watching a lot of paranormal investigations on YouTube lately (currently obsessed with Dale Splatt’s graveyard Shift series) and it got me thinking. What kind of answers do you think we would get from a spirit that had also been a paranormal investigator? You’d think that as someone who was curious about the afterlife as a living individual, that they’d be thrilled to come in contact - as a ghost - with someone who is also seeking answers of the like, and would want to spill the tea…Right?!
