"Ego Dico Cum Mortuus Populus" ["I Speak With Dead People"] -- "HANK'S HORSES"
Background:
Since the age of about nine when my deceased paternal grandmother appeared to me in “light body” form and spoke to me at length about her death, the hereafter and the direction my own future would take (I really should add right here that this “visitation” occurred on the evening prior to the phone call from my uncle which was the first “official word” that we got informing my mother and me of my grandmother’s demise), I have often “spoken with dead people”. . .
By pure definition, this particular gift makes me a psychic “medium” (not a “trance-medium”, however, because I remain fully and completely conscious throughout the process) -- since it is only “mediums” (such as John Edward and James Van Praague) who speak with the dead.
It’s a wonderful gift, really. . . One that has given me complete confidence in the knowledge that one’s life-force does not “die” when one passes from this life into the next and then simply dissipate into nothingness but that it continues to exist -- only in a somewhat changed form.
Of course, I have dealt with skeptics and naysayers for most of my life who argue that I, and others like me, are completely out of touch with reality -- poor, deluded creatures who are, in all probability, suffering from severe cases of “wishful thinking”. Their opinions don’t have the slightest effect upon me, however, because I am (and have always been) a certifiably sane, reasonably intelligent and completely practical person. I know what I know, I’ve seen and heard what I’ve seen and heard and there’s really no reason that I can think of which would make me take to heart the opinions of people who have never met me, don’t know me and don’t have the slightest notion of what my own, personal experiences have been.
I don’t claim to know why some people have paranormal experiences while others claim they have not but, if I had to offer a guess, I’d say it’s because those claiming never to have had paranormal-related experiences have been overly influenced (perhaps, since birth) by the negatively-held opinions of those around them regarding the extent as to what is “possible” and/or “probable” in our present plane of existence.
I would say that, in effect, these people have allowed those influences to cut off much of the inner dialogue, psychic sensitivity and powers of psychic observation that one must possess in order to experience this type of phenomena freely and with any regularity or frequency. They have been told that such things do not -- and cannot -- exist and this renders them incapable of recognizing signs and perceptions which, if pursued and considered, would eventually lead them to experiences of a paranormal nature.
It is much like the plight of the domesticated, formerly wild, elephant that believes that he cannot escape from his present, thin tether because the strong chains that constrained him early-on in his training (which he could not break no matter how much he struggled) have him convinced that it is now useless for him even to try. . .
It is often said that “perception is everything” and, in the case of paranormal phenomena, at least, it is my belief that this statement couldn’t be truer. . .
You requested more info on my EVPs and I'm not sure what you want on info, but heres the link to an article I wrote that has links to all of the other articles I have written that contain the EVPs. Hope this will do. In the articles that contain the EVPs I tried to discribe what I think it is saying and what I was doing at the time and a little on the history of the places.
Heres the link:

Thanks Trista-- my sure my readers will enjoy your article!
I am constantly annoyed by the material used by Hollywood writers and by TV producers regarding paranormal activity. Scary sells, I guess. Unfortunately, Hollywood can have a lasting effect on our psyche. As an example: How many people stopped taking showers after they saw the movie Psycho? And how many stopped swimming in the ocean after viewing Jaws? Whenever an alien invasion is depicted in Hollywood the scenario is almost always that the beings from another world have come to bomb our towns, nibble on our bones, take over our bodies, or perform some other horrifying nonsense upon the earth and its inhabitants. And why is it that, according to screenwriters in general, the only good ghost is a cartoon named Casper. Why do they almost never depict paranormal events as they really are? Aside from “The Others,” there have been very few movies made that accurately portray what a real “haunting” is like. Who really sees faces in a haunted house that look as though they have been decaying for three months? No medium or psychic I’ve ever spoken with. Ghosts are seen out of the corner of our eyes, and if they are seen head on, it is usually a white mist, or a vision of someone who is dressed in period clothing….and there’s (hardly ever) never any eyeballs hanging from empty sockets or blood dripping anywhere. Geez, no wonder so many people don’t want to believe in ghosts. I don’t believe in those kinds of ghosts either, and I’ve seen several real ghosts in my lifetime. So let me be the first to start a petition: “Let’s start taking parapsychology seriously and get the factual information out to the general public.” Anyone else interested in signing?
I have to agree completely with el dorado's comment on the Hollywood rubbish. Although I am still waiting to view my first ghost, I do not for a moment believe it will be in any way as portrayed by H.Wood!
Particularly irritating are the TV shows which claim to "hunt ghosts," with their obnoxious MTV camera angles, "Blair Witch" style close-ups of the so-called 'ghost hunter's' faces, and that wimpy, scared ***less blonde, I find absolutely infuriating.
These shows are NOT about ghost-hunting: rather, they are about the hosts getting their "15 minutes of fame."
P.S. ...
One more thing about that irritating "Ghost Hunter" TV show... and T.A.P.S.: their tactic of only investigating overnight, and insisting on turning out all the lights, sneaking around by flashlight, etc. is solely a bid for ratings.
As I am well aware from the experiences in our house, a presence does not pay any particular attention to the time of day or night. Activity can happen at any hour. Further more, an infrared sensitive camera such as these investigators use does not need darkness to pick up a heat/cold signal.
The producers need to "get real."
