Brooklyn Paranormal Society Hosts A Séance

On the evening of March 11th, 2023, we, the Brooklyn Paranormal Society (BKPS), hosted an extraordinary séance in the elegant condominium of Liz Pop, a longtime member of our society. Nestled in the quaint neighborhood of Park Slope and near the historic Green-Wood Cemetery, her home served as the perfect setting for an evening of mystique and otherworldly encounters.

As we gathered in the dimly-lit living room, the air was thick with anticipation. Fourteen attendees, including two renowned psychics—James and Sakura—were present, as well as a journalist and the founder and co-founder of BKPS, Anthony Long and Andrew Arnett. Our purpose that night was to delve into the unknown and make contact with spirits that lingered within the confines of Liz Pop’s home. Liz, a widow, believed she was haunted by the spirit of her late ex-husband, Dee Pop, the drummer of the band Bush Tetras.

The auditory experience for the Brooklyn Paranormal Society séance was masterfully curated by Luciform, who enveloped the room with ambient music that seemed to resonate with our very souls. The soft melodies, in harmony with flickering candlelight, cast a warm glow upon the participants as we prepared for the séance. Assembled around the table, we joined hands, forming a circle of unity and trust.

The séance began with psychic James taking the lead, guiding us as he channeled energy from the spiritual realm. His deep, soothing voice commanded the room as he invoked the spirits, beckoning them to communicate with us. As the minutes ticked by, the atmosphere grew dense, as though the very air was charged with supernatural energy.

It wasn’t long before we encountered multiple spirits, each with their own distinct presence. In one video captured by the Brooklyn Paranormal Society during the séance, a disembodied voice whispered, “No one’s coming in.” The words sent chills down our spines, a tangible reminder that we were not alone.

As the séance progressed, we felt an invisible wave of energy sweep across the room. In an instant, the lit candles adorning the table were disrupted, their flames flickering wildly as though disturbed by an unseen force. The event snapped us out of focus, and several group members, including our founder Anthony Long, looked shocked and disturbed by the experience.

“I was skeptical until the very moment I felt the energy crash through the room,” Anthony admitted later, his voice still tinged with awe. “I’ve always approached these investigations with a critical eye, but what I experienced tonight is beyond any rational explanation.”

Erik M, another attendee and believer in the paranormal, was equally stunned by the evening’s events. “I’ve always been open to the possibility of the supernatural, but seeing psychic James channel energy and communicate with the spirits was nothing short of astounding,” he shared, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Throughout the evening, we continued to communicate with the spirits, each exchange leaving an indelible mark on our souls. As we delved deeper into the spiritual world, we uncovered the story of a widow who had sought out the BKPS in hopes of making contact with her deceased husband. She longed for closure and the chance to bid him a proper farewell. Through the séance, we were able to facilitate this heart-wrenching exchange and, in doing so, gained a deeper understanding of the sorrow and longing that can transcend the boundaries between life and death.

The séance proved to be an eye-opening experience for all present, from the skeptics to the believers. As we closed the session and said our goodbyes to the spirits, the room seemed to grow lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. We emerged from the shadows of the unknown, forever changed by our encounters with the spiritual realm.

As the attendees dispersed, a palpable sense of camaraderie lingered among us. We had delved into the mysteries of the paranormal together, forming bonds that transcended the realms of logic and reason. Those who had entered the séance as skeptics left with their beliefs shaken, while the believers found their faith in the supernatural reaffirmed.

In the days following the séance, the atmosphere within Liz Pop’s home felt lighter, as if a sense of closure had been achieved. While we cannot definitively say whether the spirit of her late ex-husband, Dee Pop, was among those we encountered that night, the experience provided Liz with solace and a deeper understanding of the world beyond our own.

For the Brooklyn Paranormal Society, this séance was more than just an investigation—it was a journey into the depths of human emotion and a testament to the power of the unknown. In our quest to uncover the secrets of the spiritual realm, we found ourselves confronted with the very essence of life itself: love, loss, and the eternal bond between souls.

As we continue our explorations into the mysterious and enigmatic world of the paranormal, we are reminded of the value of approaching these investigations with an open mind and a willingness to embrace the unknown. It is only through this openness that we can hope to unravel the mysteries that lie beyond the veil of our mortal existence.

We, the members of the Brooklyn Paranormal Society, extend our heartfelt gratitude to Liz Pop for opening her home and sharing her story with us. We also wish to express our appreciation to the psychics, James and Sakura, for their invaluable guidance during the séance, and to Luciform for the mesmerizing auditory experience that set the stage for our otherworldly encounter.

As we venture forth into the shadows, we carry with us the memories of that fateful night—the whispers of the spirits, the flickering candlelight, and the invisible energy that swept through the room. Our exploration of the paranormal continues, forever guided by the knowledge and experiences we have gained.

For those who dare to believe, the realm of the supernatural is a world filled with mystery and wonder. As we continue our journey into the unknown, we invite you to join us, and together, we will seek to uncover the secrets that lie hidden in the shadows.

Understanding Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that has been used for centuries to help people overcome a wide range of mental and physical issues. From quitting smoking and losing weight to managing pain and reducing stress, hypnosis has been proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions. Understanding hypnosis is crucial to finding success with using the tool.

At its core, hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. When a person is in a hypnotic trance, their mind is more open to the suggestions of the hypnotist, allowing them to make positive changes in their behavior and beliefs.

Understanding the Science of Hypnosis

Our understanding of hypnosis, the exact mechanism is still not fully understood by science, but research has shown that it is a natural state of mind that can be induced in most people. During hypnosis, the brain enters a state of heightened suggestibility, which makes it more receptive to the suggestions of the hypnotist.

One theory in our understanding of hypnosis is that hypnosis works by bypassing the critical thinking part of the brain, which is responsible for evaluating and filtering incoming information. This allows the hypnotist to communicate directly with the subconscious mind, which is where many of our automatic behaviors and beliefs are stored.

Understanding Hypnosis for Paranormal Investigations

Hypnosis has been used for centuries to help people overcome a wide range of mental and physical issues. Understanding how hypnosis works for paranormal investigations is crucial to having the best quality investigation possible. However, its uses extend beyond traditional therapeutic settings and into the realm of paranormal investigations. The practice of hypnosis can aid in the investigation process by providing a reliable method for uncovering hidden memories and information.

During a paranormal investigation, hypnosis can be used to help witnesses or victims of paranormal experiences to recall details that they may have forgotten or repressed. This information can be crucial in understanding the nature of the experience and determining the validity of the claims. Additionally, hypnosis can be used to help investigators and witnesses develop a heightened sensitivity to paranormal activity, which can aid in the detection and documentation of phenomena.

Hypnosis can also be used to help witnesses overcome fear or anxiety related to their paranormal experiences. Understanding this aspect of hypnosis can be particularly useful in cases where the witness may be hesitant to share their experiences due to fear of ridicule or mistrust. By helping the witness relax and feel safe, hypnosis can provide a supportive environment for them to share their experiences and provide valuable information for the investigation.

Furthermore, hypnosis can be used to help individuals who have had a traumatic paranormal experiences to work through and heal from the event. This can be especially useful for individuals who are experiencing lingering fear, anxiety, or other emotional disturbances related to the experience. Through hypnosis, the individual can work through these emotional issues and develop coping mechanisms to help them move forward.

Understanding Techniques for Inducing a Trance

There are many different techniques that can be used to induce a hypnotic trance. To help understand hypnosis, here’s some of the most common hypnosis induction techniques:

  • Progressive Relaxation: This technique involves guiding the person through a series of relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing and muscle relaxation. As the person becomes more relaxed, they are more likely to enter a hypnotic state.
  • Focused Attention: This technique involves having the person focus their attention on a specific object or idea, such as a swinging watch or a pleasant image. As the person becomes more absorbed in the focus of their attention, they are more likely to enter a hypnotic state.
  • Direct Suggestion: This technique involves the hypnotist making specific suggestions to the person while they are in a hypnotic state. For example, the hypnotist might suggest that the person will feel more relaxed and less anxious after the hypnosis session.

Understanding the Benefits of Hypnosis

Understanding the benefits of hypnosis is important. Hypnosis has been found to be an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Smoking Cessation: Hypnosis has been found to be an effective way to help people quit smoking.
  • Weight Loss: Hypnosis has been found to be an effective way to help people lose weight and keep it off.

Conclusion

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help people overcome a wide range of mental and physical issues. By inducing a hypnotic trance, the hypnotist can communicate directly with the subconscious mind, which is where many of our automatic behaviors and beliefs are stored.

Forensic Hypnosis Explained

Forensic Hypnosis Explained

Forensic hypnosis, also known as investigative hypnosis, is the use of hypnosis in criminal investigations to help witnesses and victims remember details about a crime that they may have forgotten or repressed. It is a controversial but intriguing topic that has been used in a number of high-profile cases throughout the years.

The history of forensic hypnosis dates back to the 19th century, when the practice was first introduced by a French neurologist named Jean-Martin Charcot. He used hypnosis to help patients with amnesia remember details about their past. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that forensic hypnosis began to be used in criminal investigations.

One of the most famous cases in which forensic hypnosis was used was the investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In this case, hypnosis was used to help a witness, who had been standing just feet away from the President at the time of the shooting, remember details of the event that she had forgotten.

Another famous case that utilized forensic hypnosis is the “Tylenol murders” case of 1982. In September of that year, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. The case quickly became a media sensation and one of the largest and most complex criminal investigations in US history at that time.

The police had no leads and no suspects, until a woman named Paula Prince came forward. She had been present at a party where Tylenol capsules were passed out and consumed, and she had also fallen ill after taking one of the capsules. She was unable to remember any details about the person who had handed her the capsule, and the police were unable to get any further with the investigation.

That’s when the police decided to use forensic hypnosis to try to help Paula Prince remember more about the incident. Under hypnosis, Prince was able to describe the person who had handed her the Tylenol capsule in great detail, including their physical appearance and clothing. This information was crucial in helping the police identify the suspect, James Lewis, who was subsequently arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison for extortion in connection to the case, but not for murder.

The Tylenol murders case showed the effectiveness of forensic hypnosis in investigating a crime and helped to establish the technique as a valid tool for criminal investigations. It is important to note that in this case, the information obtained through hypnosis was used as a lead and not as a direct evidence in court.

The process of forensic hypnosis typically begins with the hypnotist meeting with the witness or victim to discuss the crime and the information that they are trying to remember. The hypnotist will then guide the person into a trance-like state, during which they will be more open to suggestions and more likely to remember details about the crime.

Critics of forensic hypnosis argue that the information obtained through hypnosis is unreliable and that hypnosis can lead to false memories. They also point out that in many jurisdictions, the information obtained through hypnosis is not admissible in court.

Proponents of forensic hypnosis argue that it can be a valuable tool in criminal investigations, especially when other methods have failed. They point to the many cases in which witnesses and victims have been able to remember important details about a crime after undergoing hypnosis.

One of the benefits of forensic hypnosis is that it can help to fill in gaps in a person’s memory, allowing them to remember details that they may have forgotten or repressed. It can also help to clarify information that is already known, making it more accurate and reliable.

The use of forensic hypnosis is not without its risks, however. The information obtained through hypnosis may be unreliable or inaccurate, and the process can lead to false memories. It is also important to note that hypnosis should only be performed by a trained professional, as an untrained person can do more harm than good.

Despite the controversy surrounding forensic hypnosis, it remains a fascinating and intriguing topic that is sure to continue to be studied and debated in the years to come. It is important for individuals to understand the benefits and risks of forensic hypnosis before deciding to use it in their own cases.
