A Group of Ghost Hunters are Planning on Inspecting an Old Property in New Mexico for Ghosts!

Story originally posted: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. on May 20, 2009

The previous owner of the Old Cuchillo Bar, an adobe building 180 years old, claims to be hearing “bumps in the night.”

No really! Actually, he claims to hear wood being moved and stacked, the potbellied stove’s door mysteriously opens but there’s no one there, and other unusual phenomena!

No bumps…whispers in the night! Breathes of whispered air and sounds like softly spoken words, unintelligible but “real” in the new owner’s ear.

Almost enough to give you goose bumps, isn’t it?

No earthquakes reported but every once in a while objects fly off the shelves for no reason at all, at least none that can be seen.

Questions about the authenticity of this claim are being whispering, because while no one really believe in ghosts, do they?

So everyone whispers…wouldn’t it be cool if it’s true!

Are there ghosts? Is the place really haunted? Is this a legitimate sighting?

Immediately we are prompted to ask the question on everyone’s mind:

“Is this a publicity stunt or is this the “real thing?”

Well, the new owner of the establishment is very disturbed by the “comings and goings” and the “bumps in the day!” So, he has hired some ghost hunters, what used to be referred to as paranormal investigators, to get a handle on exactly what is going on!

Any of you see the movie “1408″ with John Cusak? Remind you of anything? Hmmmmm!

Josh Bond, the new owner is quoted as saying, “The creepiest I had was a voice whisper in my ear. When things fall in the house, I just sort of write it off.”

Apparently, there are a lot more occurrences than just a few whispers and some pot and pans flying through the air!

Enter the “Ghostbusters!”

Actually, the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society.

Bond believes that maybe, just maybe the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society will be able to make some kind of sense out of this. The WCGAPS is a nonprofit group our of Phoenix and Bond called them after seeing an advertisement. Interesting!

So, what is your take on all of this?

Do you believe in ghosts? Can you say you have you ever seen a ghost?

Do you think you have had a supernatural experience? A paranormal experience? Something that rattled your bones?

Do you believe in the “other worldly,” the supernatural?

Please share your experiences and stories here! Certainly, you have an opinion?

The man who started WCGAPS a little over 2 years ago, Andy Rice, has investigated over 200 reported hauntings and ghost sightings over the past 13 years! Rice said he attempts to apply scientific method to his investigations and to date only about 5% of the sightings and reports he has investigated cannot be explained in terms of naturally occurring phenomena.

Rice says that most reports can be explained in terms of faulty electrical wiring, thin walls with and noisy neighbors and vibrations, electromagnetic radiation, and even the lights from passing cars! Rice refers to his group as ghost debunkers and not ghost hunters…or ghost busters!

Mr. Rice’s WCGAPS is booked into August and the demand seems to be increasing with the firm’s sudden popularity. Rice takes each case after examining all the factors and then weighing them against his vast, 13 years of experience debunking ghosts. WCGAPS practices their craft primarily in the southwest.

Mr. Rice maintains that it is not his desire to convince or persuade people one way or the other but there is that 5%!

“Until they have a personal experience, I cannot change someone’s belief,” Rice stated. “I don’t take the time to try to convince them, because it is a useless argument.”

Rice is a business analyst by education and training, started looking into “things that go bump in the night,” ghosts and the paranormal, after he and some friends started exploring and investigating haunted houses, one abandoned house in particular.

Rice tells of being at the top of the stairs, his friends all on the steps below him, and someone or something shoved him down the staircase! Rice, not a small man, was lifted off the floor by a force and, when he examined his back afterwards, they found scratch marks all across it.

That was it, Rice was hooked!

Adam Rice, ghost hunter, or ghost debunker, began to spend from forty to sixty hours a week, at his own expense, looking into reports of paranormal phenomena. While he is always looking for that one case that will validate and confirm or debunk it all one way or the other, he also hopes he can help people truly distressed by the comings and goings of their other worldly visitors and put clients’ anxieties to bed once and for all.

Rice’s aim is selfless in nature, “I’m hoping to go out and calm their fears. Other than my first experience, I have never experienced anything that’s harmful. I want to explain what’s there, whether there’s something or nothing.” Rice appears to a balanced and objective man with a really cool job! Not a “ghost nut” at all!

The West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society site has some pretty unsettling audio clips and links of reportedly paranormal occurrences. Rice has recordings of voices that, the researcher maintains, fall outside the normal parameters for a human voice! So what are they? No one knows!

The push down the steps is Rice’s only violent experience with the paranormal but he has reported several unusual phenomena over the years. Rice maintains that he has witnessed a number of unusual occurrences, like a “full-body apparition” of what appeared to be a woman at Monti’s La Casa Vieja restaurant, Tempe, Arizona. The sighting was in the city’s first pioneer home.

A reporter asked Rice if he had captured the image and apparently the image appeared in the one spot where there were no cameras, no coverage?

Suspicious or coincidental? Hmmmmm!

So the jury is still out and, as Mr Rice noted, this is a personal thing, some do and others don’t…believe, I mean.

A guess that’s the $60,000 question!

Do you?
