Soon the Discovery Channel will air the first episode of X-Ops, a new series exploring the paranormal. Joshua P. Warren and Brian Irish work on the show, and recently returned from Roswell, New Mexico. They weren’t investigating the same old stuff, though. Instead, they were looking for GHOSTS of the dead aliens! You may be surprised by what they found. Check back here, and sign up for our free newsletter (through the homepage), for updates.

Joshua P. Warren just reviewed the new GhostRadar meter from Japan.

We are always looking for the latest technology to yield the best returns of solid paranormal evidence. Having the best technology means all the difference. The paranormal evidence and information is a payout. The better the technology, the better the "payout" and the more conclusions the paranormal world can gather. Everyone needs financing at some point and whether you need financing for paranormal evidence tools or for military loans, different outlets can help. For the military loans or military loans for bad credit, one can benefit greatly.

L.E.M.U.R. will produce a program and ghost hunt at the Smith-McDowell House, Asheville, North Carolina's first and oldest mansion, on Friday, October 14, 2005, 8-11pm. We plan to demonstrate how our equipment works, show some paranormal footage, then divide into groups to investigate the house. They can only accommodate a limited number of people, and admission is very reasonable ($10 or less per person). We did this before and it got packed out FAST (they had to turn lots of people away). So make your reservations now: smh@wnchistory.org and 828-253-9231.

The Smith-McDowell House is on the campus of A-B Tech, the Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. See: www.WNChistory.org

Joshua P. Warren and Brian Irish recently signed on to do a new TV series for the Discovery Channel. More details will come when they have permission.

Do you own a "haunted" or "cursed" item? Joshua P. Warren recently returned from Los Angeles shooting a special, with psychic/medium James Van Praagh, for TLC called Possessed Possessions. It's sort of an "Antiques Roadshow" for haunted and cursed items from around the world. Warren's job was to use scientific tools to measure any anomalous energy fields around the objects. That's currently scheduled to air Oct. 30 at 8pm east coast time. Van Praagh will be Warren's guest on "Speaking of Strange" October 29, 2005, 9pm, eastern time. You can call the program at 800-570-9962.

For directions, click HERE.

We just finished working with the History Channel for a program about paranormal investigation tools/history to air next year. For the show, we spent a weekend exploring the North Carolina capitol building in Raleigh. Our access was virtually unlimited. We even took readings in the governor's office and from the huge copper dome that caps the structure. To preserve our objectivity, information regarding the large building's activity was withheld from us before the investigation. We were impressed when L.E.M.U.R.'s Micah Hanks documented extraordinary, transient, 1 Hz fields moving in an area around an old library. Capitol staffed were delighted to tell us they had seen apparitions gliding throughout that exact area, considering it the most active place and subjectively confirming our ability to locate strange EMFs associated with the paranormal.

As Halloween approaches, the HAUNTED ASHEVILLE GHOST WALK will continue running strong (see: www.HauntedAsheville.com for details).

Also, we plan to release reports regarding our results studying martial arts Master Tom Cameron in Chicago, and Brown Mountain research, soon. Times are busy, so please be patient!

L.E.M.U.R. has achieved something extraordinary. After 10-15 years of research, we have reproduced a phenomenon like the Brown Mountain Lights on a miniature scale in the lab! Once we've gathered some more data, we will be releasing a comprehensive study that will explain our theory regarding this magnificent phenomenon. It could have important implications for our technology. In the meantime, click HERE for a photo and more details.

L.E.M.U.R. just returned from Chicago, spending nearly a week documenting the mysterious bio-fields produced by martial artists who specialize in the Death Touch. Grandmaster Tom Cameron has been featured on RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT due to his extraordinary skills, and L.E.M.U.R. measured amazing electromagnetic fields in his presence at our conference last January. Soon, we will release a report detailing our findings studying Cameron and his students.

A Ghost Walk based upon the book HAUNTED ASHEVILLE has opened. It is the only ghost tour owned and operated by lifelong residents of Asheville, North Carolina. Not only are haunted locations explored, but those who attend also learn how to conduct ghost research scientifically. For details, see: www.HauntedAsheville.com

We just worked with Travel Channel for HAUNTED HOTELS, WEIRD TRAVELS, and HAUNTED SOUTH. Some of these will air this fall around Halloween. Currently, we are planning to work with The History Channel on a special regarding paranormal investigation.

Nearly 100 people have signed up for our Paranormal Cruise to the Bermuda Triangle, and the Bahamas (investigating pirate ghosts), this Halloween week! The deadline for reservations has passed. However, we were able to convince the cruise line to extend the deadline, one last time, to August 19. Each year we will produce a Paranormal Expedition to a fantastic location at an affordable price. We already have next year planned, but it's a surprise! However, according to current arrangements, no more than 80 people can attend next year's expedition. Therefore, those who come along for the cruise this October will have the first opportunity to sign up for next year's adventure. For all the details, visit: www.ParanormalCruise.com and www.ParanormalExpeditions.com

This is an exciting year for us and we hope you'll join.

The Third Annual Paranormal Conference was a huge success! In addition to the usual slew of ghost sightings, photographs, and physical effects, L.E.M.U.R. was especially amazed by the "Extreme Martial Demo: Death Touch" presented by Master Tom Cameron and his students from Chicago, IL. Cameron has been featured on "Ripley's Believe it Or Not" for his ability to project mysterious energy fields that can knock down a person, make him pass out, or even kill him, without any physical contact. During his program, L.E.M.U.R. Investigators documented powerful electromagnetic fields, maxing out our meter, that occurred when Cameron projected energy. He was producing over 1 milliGauss, more than 1000 times the EMF that should emanate from a human. We're so excited by this that our team plans to travel to Chicago this year to study the abilities of Cameron and his students under lab conditions. We might be able to provide the first well-documented proof of a telekinetic phenomenon.

Soon, pictures from the Conference will be posted at www.ParanormalConference.com

We’ll solicit participants via the newsletter when the time is right. You can join on the homepage.

The L.E.M.U.R. team has been busy as usual!

We’ve investigated a number of confidential, private properties that have exhibited some strange results, indeed. We’re most excited by video footage and EVP captured in the attic of an old 1920s mansion. A distinct light is seen bobbing in the attic’s corner for a full 50 seconds and later, an eerie voice can be heard pleading “please stop!” We are extensively analyzing these remarkable recordings and hope to place some samples on the site soon (depending on some technical issues). However, this footage will be formally presented at our conference in January of 2004.

We have been able to make no progress in documenting physical evidence of “little people.” However, some of the eyewitness accounts we’ve collected are compelling. The hair we collected from the scene of numerous bigfoot sightings is most likely from a raccoon, but we cannot determine that for sure since the root is not intact.

We have some major investigations coming up in the next month, but we can’t disclose the locations or details about them until afterward.

We’re proud to announce that Loren Coleman, the world’s leading cryptozoologist, has joined L.E.M.U.R. as a Research Affiliate! For more info. about Coleman and his groundbreaking work, visit: www.LorenColeman.com

L.E.M.U.R. VP Brian Irish has a video available called INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION. It showcases some of his best paranormal video footage and stills acquired over the past few years. Highlights include the Brown Mountain Lights, a physical object being manipulated in a haunted house, a UFO, and more. It’s an especially great resource for the beginning investigator who wants to learn how visual anomalies often appear. For more information, visit Irish’s site by clicking HERE.

We’ve posted some surprising photographs on the site!

In late November, 2002, Joshua P. Warren and Brian Irish were photographing the Palm Court of Asheville’s historic Grove Park Inn. This is the area where the Pink Lady apparently fell to her death. Amazingly, both Warren and Irish were able to simultaneously photograph the same anomaly from slightly different angles! To see these photos, and get more details, click HERE.

Also, for the past year, L.E.M.U.R. has been experimenting with a bizarre form of imaging known as Kirlian photography. Kirlian photographs are made by placing the subject directly against a photographic plate and passing an electrical current through the specimen. The team may have discovered a strange new Kirlian effect. This effect may demonstrate that plants possess a consciousness! For photographs and more details, click HERE.

In November of 2002, the L.E.M.U.R. team held a 2-night camping expedition at Brown Mountain. We saw some unexplainable illuminations and obtained valuable objective energy readings. We were also surprised to find out that an appearance of the lights will make a Geiger counter go nuts! We were graciously joined by Dr. David Hackett, one of the original members of ORION, a team of researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratories who investigated the phenomenon extensively from the mid 1970s through the 80s. He believes the Geiger counter reaction is caused by the lights' extreme ionization (or electrical charges) as opposed to dangerous alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Let’s hope he’s right!

On Tuesday, October 29, 2002, 7pm, The L.E.M.U.R. team held a special presentation, and book signing, at the Smith-McDowell House, Asheville’s oldest standing structure. We discussed the basics of investigating a haunted house and showed paranormal footage from our last investigation of the mansion. For more information on the Smith-McDowell House, contact Rebecca Lamb, Executive Director of the Museum, at (828) 253-9231.

On Wednesday, October 30, 2002, 7-8pm, intuitive Angela Moore joined Joshua P. Warren for a book signing/program at Barnes and Noble Booksellers off Tunnel Road, next to Best Buy. The feature was a presentation by Angela Moore in which she gave “readings” of the audience in the style of the hit TV show “Crossing Over with John Edward.” In the meantime, Warren signed books and discussed paranormal experiences with attendees one-on-one, hoping to find more good locations for L.E.M.U.R. to investigate. Other members of the team were in attendance, as well. Our group usually focuses on objective, scientific information gathering. This evening was an exceptional occasion to explore the accuracy of gathering information subjectively, using ESP and the bare human senses.

On Halloween night, 2002, L.E.M.U.R. investigated the Cool World Dance Club from 10pm till closing. When the club is packed, activity is most pronounced. This was a unique Halloween opportunity to see the team in action! To learn more about Cool World and its activity, click HERE.

L.E.M.U.R. recently did a preliminary investigation of the Queen Mary, a haunted ship in Long Beach, California. For more details, click HERE.

We just got back from a meeting with the famous and respected Rhine Research Center in Durham, NC. They carry on the groundbreaking work of parapsychology pioneer J.B. Rhine of Duke University. The facility is now directed by J.B.’s daughter, Dr. Sally Rhine Feather, and her fantastic staff. We shared thoughts on paranormal research and plan to work together on some projects in the near future. You can check out their site by clicking HERE.

Our team also received a fascinating presentation on regional cryptozoology (study of hidden animals) from Mike McCurry of High Point, NC. To learn more, and see casts of actual Bigfoot prints, please click HERE.

A new video clip has been added to the L.E.M.U.R. site. It shows one of our meters being physically manipulated by an unseen force! Click HERE.
