“Its a different thing when you can speak with the victims of the crime. Them sharing what they remember taking place. It brings a whole new light to the case.”

It seems to me that Chris Moon is on the verge of bring Paranormal Research and Mediumship work out the stigma of pseudoscience. Using the Ghost Box to solve criminal cases is just one more step in the right direction for the field of paranormal research the respect it has been lacking from the conventional scientist of the world.

“It is a bonus, as for what I do and what my mom does (she is the coauthor of the book). I do believe that there are a lot of groups out there who are really tiring to prove something and I think that we are at a point that we have proved it to ourselves. We have already been able to document through the Ghost Box Chronicles, web series. I don't think we are trying to justify anything at this point. I think now we are just trying to understand more about what the spirits have to say.”

I feel at times that myself and other paranormal researchers to get caught up in the tasks of investigating and collecting evidence that we do forget that we are dealing with humans and other spirits that have emotions and needs. It takes a great deal of energy for a spirit to speak or be visible to the living. The least we could do for them it try to help them in any way we can as a thank you/sign of respect for their efforts to connect with us. I did ask Chris Moon what he felt the greatest thing a living human can do for the spirits and the spirit world.

“I tell people if they feel that someone is around them, especially a family member, that is near by. Or anyone that is near by that needs help crossing, literally just to speak out to them and let them know that there is no punishment waiting for them when the cross to the light. The biggest stigma that I’ve seen that a spirit has is the fear that if they cross through the light; there is going to be fire and brimstone waiting for them. However, when you talk to an intelligent spirit that has crossed over. They always tell you the same thing. They say that there is no fire or brimstone. You are punishing yourself when you keep yourself in purgatory. A lot of the times it just takes a family member or friend to tell them that its going to be OK. That opens up the path to crossing.”

With all of Chris Moon’s experiences and Medium abilities I feel that he is one of the few in this world that has a “good” idea of what the Spirit Realm is like. He has had conversations with spirits that have crossed over and shared some details of what it is like and what is waiting for us once it is our time to crossover. We discussed earlier that, thankfully, there is no fire and brimstone on the other side. Learning what the afterlife is like is one the of the greatest motivators to paranormal researchers and one concept I’m hungry to learn.
