"who you gunna call ? John Griffiths"

JOHN A GRIFFITHS

I was honored today that a paranormal investigator that happens to be a good friend of mine took time out of his busy day to talk to me a bit about the world of ghost hunting. I have known this man about 4 years on Facebook and would like to think we good friends, john is a very well known investigator in Liverpool U.K a go to guy and a font of knowledge paranormal. John is the founder member of the paranormal supernatural network on Facebook as well as Fourth Element all based in the u.k, over the years John has had many interesting and not so interesting hunts with a great team of fellow investigators and often bringing members of the public along for the ride.

K: what is your earliest memory of unexplained. J: I was a kid. My Nan visiting me in my room before she died.

When I was very young living in Egremont quite a few strange things happened as you have probably read.

One night whilst I was asleep I was restless. I woke to go the toilet. On my way I noticed a bright light coming from the front living room downstairs.

I went downstairs and opened the door. There was Nana. I smiled and said when did you come ? Nana replied. Only just. Nana said "just checking on you all-now off to bed with ya" I smiled and gave her a hug-she ruffled my hair and gave me that great big loving smile that made me feel bright and fuzzy. I went to bed.

When I got up in the morning I ran downstairs hoping Nana would still be around. Nope. Gone.

I went out to play in the garden. About dinner time I went in for something to eat. Dad was home. Mum was comforting him though he kept saying he was fine.

I asked what was up - but I knew. I was sad but I was glad as My Nana had come to say Goodbye.

A few days later my parents told me that Nan had died a few days ago. We were not allowed to go the funeral (we were too young) and I think Nana knew that which is why she visited when she did.

Love you Nana. Thank you for all my memories though they be short. X K: A crisis apparition you me? J: yes K: so is this the start of your interest J: Not just that. The house I lived in there tormented me for years. A Repetitive dream. K: so do you feel you have a gift of some kind or by your nature your a magnet to the other side J: I don't see them as gifts more abilities that are there. K: so how would you classify these abilities and can you give brief over view lf them and if any effects does it have on daily life J: I don't classify them as such. They are me. They are my DNA. As my hair is ginger. As my height is 5'8" They are always there. They pop in and out of my head like my other thoughts. They frustrate me at times. I'm like why let me see or have insight when I'm not able to do anything with it. Sometimes I can and others I wouldn't know where to start. I can inform someone of a smell I'm getting which will relate to a visitor/relative staying with them. Like carbolic soap. They give me that acknowledgement of "oh yes" that's hit home and that allowed me to see into them as there guards dropped and I can then see more and I'll see better in this case the smell related to a father and I saw in that moment of recognition he would become unwell. I advised a check up. I believe it saved a serious medical problem. Other times I can see a crowd of people getting run over by a bus by shops and I don't get all the info and there is fuck all I can do as it's a needle in a haystack and if I ring the services they will think I'm nuts or have something to do with it.

K: so its psychometric? J: Among others yes K: what are your opinions on. subjects such as past life regression and o.b.e J: I have had both. I have done both for others as a guide. K: you know of past lives you have lived J: Yes. An Asian guy. It's either past life or a vision through his eyes. K: may i add some of your experiences to the blog J: I have tagged you in an OBE, Add what you wish. Yes. The page is for my reference and I write on there occasionally. I don't share it as you can see. It's there if people come across it. K: can you explain your abilities a little J: I hear things. I smell things. My talent is reading photography as you know from the black belt jones session. I see the future through dreams. I see feel things through touch. Like the soap. Like the crashes. I see people who are not there. I've been tested. I'm okay. So they say. K: we all know there areas in the world only select few have access to. what one place like this would you want to investigate and why? J: As I tune in and see things I'd like to investigate the pyramids, chesneye mountains. Stonehenge etc. Not your average. Oh and Edinburgh vaults. Paris catacombs. K: yes the last two i want to do myself J: Going back to your earlier question what has been the single most not so much scary but moment out investigating that made you think know what think this should end ahead of schedule. I'll tag you in St. George's. J: I believe in an existence we can not plainly see. There are others on a frequency we can not see or touch. We only use a small percentage of our brains. There are other abilities that lock and unlock through stages in our life. Adrenaline. Drugs. Puberty. The change and so on. We are also a small percentage of light mater 000.01 and that's of the matter we understand 21% the other 79 we are still trying to find.

If we could do this understand this we would see a lot more. Spiritualism comes into this. The locking and entwinning of the conscious and unconscious mind and how they understand each other which is different to our perception. K: yes my views are similar J: Try an experiment. When you go to sleep each night create an existence. Each night add a new walk. A tree. A park. A meeting place. A person a character. K: like the phillip experiment J: no not like phillip J: After a while new details creep in that you see but you have not created. Your character will introduce you to other characters you have not created and a whole world opens up before you. K: more of a form of meditative molding leaving the door open for spirit to create their reality with in your dream? J: yes J: I have done this for over a decade. I know some who have done it for longer. When I do eventually sleep as my pattern is crap from all the messing with it I live a second existence. A second life. I know others who have created families. Jobs. Friends. Lovers and so on. Characters have passed on by themselves and they are mourned like in this life. People exist in different plains as different people. The characters died. They were not killed off they had an existence of their own. A life. They gave birth. Madness. Pink skies. Houses in the trees. Underground. Two legged animals. Four legged peeps it goes on and on. These are real. They do exist. They are not fantasy. You tap in. They take over. Am I nuts. No. I can see which life is which. Some loose track and reality blurs as they can't establish the difference. This exist. This is a higher plain of spiritualism which is rarely talked about. K: could it be spirits act within this make believe world like actors plying multiple roles in unearthly impossible form because with in this imagined world you relax deeper and they can translate the differing dimensional existences J: Possible but you are building it. Not being scripted into it. Why bother to go through that when it's just as easy to show its self or scare you. When I see things they are solid. Like me like you. Not see through. They are shadows with detail or like my reflection in a mirror or like looking at the person next to me. K: so last couple things what is your view on cryptids and which cryptid would you want to be real J: Cryptid's are out there. Yes. They may be mixed up DNA from freak births of animals that should not have got together. Some may even be experimental that no one was ever meant to see. Technology in stem cells DNA etc was around before civil rights and I'm sure a few not fully legal experiments have been done. I'd like to think Nessie and a yeti are true but unlikely as they are normally drunken or viral/disease that creates the myth the legend from an unbalanced body chemical. Normally from those who have got lost in the woods or fell asleep in a boat.
