1
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:12,070
uh so my name is mike diamond and i

2
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,440
guess i'm the founder of

3
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:15,200
paranormalwarehouse.com

4
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:17,039
i started when i was younger i had my my

5
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,279
father passed away and i guess

6
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:21,600
in order to deal with that i i latched

7
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:23,600
on to this kind of paranormal ghost

8
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:25,920
stuff and just growing up i started

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:27,920
researching more and more and more

10
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,800
and

11
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:30,720
i just kind of became hooked

12
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:33,280
after after that experience so

13
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:35,200
um you know i started doing research by

14
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,160
reading books i read a lot of stuff from

15
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:40,480
the warrens a lot of people know them

16
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:42,239
and i just kind of built upon that by

17
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:43,200
reading

18
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,040
and then you know a lot of people kind

19
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:47,039
of talk down on on the television shows

20
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:47,840
but

21
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,640
um they they came on and then i

22
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,559
it sparked in me like wow you can kind

23
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,320
of scientifically research this and have

24
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:56,879
evidence and and that really

25
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:58,960
pumped me up to

26
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,399
to start doing it

27
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,399
and then just from the experience of

28
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:04,080
meeting people i

29
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,680
i knew i couldn't have the time to put

30
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,799
into

31
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:08,159
doing the investigations like some

32
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,680
people go out on weekends and they do it

33
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,600
every weekend i don't have time to do

34
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:13,520
that so i wanted to participate somehow

35
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:15,760
so i decided to create this website to

36
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,680
kind of bring that community together so

37
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,759
i usually have when i investigate i have

38
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:21,759
a small team it's just me and my buddies

39
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,400
they're into it also and we kind of do a

40
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:26,560
gorilla style where we'll have a couple

41
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:28,080
of cameras a couple of pieces of

42
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:30,320
equipment we'll usually focus on a piece

43
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,560
of equipment to do research with that

44
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:34,640
day so we don't have a hodgepodge of

45
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,560
stuff we're focused on one thing and we

46
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:38,720
can work on that and we'll usually go in

47
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,119
and just

48
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,960
just kind of do our thing and try to

49
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,799
figure out what's going on

50
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,720
when we're looking for locations it's

51
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:48,560
usually whatever we could get

52
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,960
we'll do it because some some places

53
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:52,399
don't want you to go in there some

54
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:53,680
places do some places are really

55
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,280
expensive so we're

56
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:57,439
opportunistic whenever we could go to a

57
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,759
place we'll usually go there and it's

58
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,920
kind of random we'll we'll look up what

59
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,759
people have experienced in that location

60
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,759
and kind of base our research on that so

61
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:07,520
if they're getting a lot of for example

62
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,479
uh you know voices just a lot of voices

63
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,400
we'll we'll decide all right since this

64
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,959
happens the most let's focus on this see

65
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,040
if we can get this to reproduce

66
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,840
um with our findings so we just kind of

67
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,599
feel out see what people did

68
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:23,760
with their research see what that place

69
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,000
is known for and then kind of focus on

70
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:28,000
what the most prominent

71
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,000
um i guess like anomaly that happens

72
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,160
there most recently i had the first

73
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,239
experience where i actually saw a person

74
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:36,480
affected by what was going on

75
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,920
you know normally we'll have we'll catch

76
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:39,920
voices and you know the the technology

77
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,319
will will provide the evidence but just

78
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:44,319
recently i guess six months ago we went

79
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:47,120
to gettysburg and one of my friends

80
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:47,920
he

81
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,879
emotional guy

82
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,519
he became very physically upset and he

83
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,200
was able to talk through the experience

84
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,800
like he knew that it was happening and

85
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,400
he couldn't control it he had tears

86
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,239
coming down

87
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:01,680
he's almost like hyperventilating and he

88
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:02,840
said that he felt an

89
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:05,360
overwhelming feeling of sadness and it

90
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:07,120
was it was scary for me because that was

91
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:09,040
the first time where

92
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:10,879
someone was being personally affected

93
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,519
like physically so it was an eye-opener

94
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,680
to to see that you know it's not just

95
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,040
these pieces of equipment that could be

96
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,959
affected by whatever is going on you

97
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:21,040
know you could be affected too so

98
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,560
that was probably the most profound just

99
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:24,159
because it made it the most real the

100
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,800
word ghost hunting i guess it's

101
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,200
i use it because people understand what

102
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:31,519
that is you know it's become

103
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:33,120
a known thing there's the show ghost

104
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,239
hunters

105
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,200
so it's kind of like a phrase i

106
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,680
i i'm hesitant personally

107
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,599
to say the word ghost because i i don't

108
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:43,440
know if this is a dead person you know i

109
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:44,640
don't know what's going on in this

110
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,599
situation

111
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,959
it hasn't been

112
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,400
scientifically proven and that's that's

113
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,080
what we're working towards so for

114
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:51,680
someone who's going into the field first

115
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,799
off i would say

116
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:54,000
find a couple of buddies don't go in

117
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:55,200
there alone

118
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,640
for obvious reasons if you're going to

119
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:58,560
go into a you know a rundown house and

120
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:59,439
you're going to fall through the floor

121
00:04:01,270 --> 00:04:00,480
and no one's going to know you're there

122
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:01,280
so

123
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,560
have have a group that you're going to

124
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,760
go with

125
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:05,200
don't just go on the internet and start

126
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,120
buying equipment because people say to i

127
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:08,959
would say do your research know how this

128
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:12,000
stuff works really research the theories

129
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:13,200
and

130
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:14,879
instead of being all over the place kind

131
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:16,079
of pick something that you really like

132
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,280
like i like

133
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,880
electronic voice

134
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:20,720
phenomenon kind of stuff i like using

135
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,000
digital recorders i think that's

136
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,919
fascinating so i might think that

137
00:04:27,909 --> 00:04:25,520
something else is more cool but i think

138
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:27,919
if you specialize on something you could

139
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:30,560
really focus on it and

140
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,320
and you'll get better evidence because

141
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,240
you're using it over and over and over

142
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:36,880
again and you become accustomed and

143
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:38,160
i think that's

144
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,759
that's the best way to do it and then

145
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,880
you could share your evidence with

146
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:42,160
someone who does something different and

147
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,520
then maybe you could

148
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:45,520
pick off you know learn off of that kind

149
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,840
of situation so for anyone starting just

150
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,840
do your research

151
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:51,040
don't sneak into a place and get

152
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,160
arrested

153
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:54,000
know your equipment have a couple of

154
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,520
buddies and then

155
00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,960
do your thing and it's just it's just

156
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:58,639
practice like anything else and just be

157
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:00,880
cautious if you feel weird

158
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:03,280
don't be afraid to exit go outside take

159
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:04,240
a break

160
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:06,000
so

161
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:07,280
that's really it

162
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:08,400
we have a website called

163
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,000
paranormalwarehouse.com

164
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:11,840
and we wanted to kind of create a social

165
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,240
networking hub for people that were into

166
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,560
the paranormal ghosts

167
00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:18,000
to talk to each other if you're in new

168
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,520
york you're never going to see a

169
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,680
person's evidence that's in california

170
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:23,360
just because of distance

171
00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:24,639
so

172
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:29,199
be open share theories and even just

173
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:30,639
talk about their experiences there's a

174
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,080
lot of people out there that are afraid

175
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,759
to talk about their experiences but this

176
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:35,520
is you know it's kind of a safe place to
