Phenomena Encountered: The Magazine Issue 7 | Page 3

George Turner is a good man, an honest investigator, and without him Phenomena Encountered Radio Network would not exist. Thank you George, This issue is for you brother.

Paranormal author of At the Crossroads of Myth, Theory, and Reality, speaker, radio show host, paranormal investigator, and teacher George Turner was kind enough to sit down and discuss his work, techniques in investigations, and his theories that he has developed in the paranormal realm. Mr. Turner also founded Kentucky Mountain Paranormal Research Society in 2010. His investigation team consists of four people due to the fact that the more people that are investigating a location, the more likely evidence become contaminated. Also, George is very organized in his investigations and likes to make sure his team runs smoothly, without the hindrance of stepping over each other.

George Turner is a man that feels a special connection to Mother Earth. He speaks out for humans to take care of Her as she cares for us. He feels that if mankind where to reconnect to the Earth as our ancestors once where then we would all have a better understanding of the Spirit World. His admiration for the nature around him stayed in his mind on June 16th of this year. Mr. Turner found himself the victim of a near fatal car crash. With dozens of broken bones and lacerations, George still could not help himself to notice the beauty of the night. He observed the lovely stars sparkling above him as he laid in a ditch before he slipped into unconsciousness. Three surgeries later and the green light to learn to walk again, George keep busy with his paranormal work and a positive attitude. I asked him if he felt that he gained of the spiritual realm as many people report happens after they have near death experience.

“I’ve been able to get a feeling from people wither if they are good or bad. If they are bad I get the feeling within the first minute of being around them and that is something that I have tried to develop over the years. Since the wreck it seems like it is magnified. Whenever I get around someone that is sneaky or no good the feeling really overwhelms me; actually to the point that it scares me so I want to get far, far away.”

In 2001 George Turner’s journey into the paranormal realm began. He was working as a rookie corrections officer. Shortly after he was out of the Academy he was assigned to a housing unit. The dormitory unit itself was brand new; however it seemed that something or someone had been living there for awhile:

“The dormitory pods were divided up 25 foot long hallways from end to end. If you walk in on the right hand side there is three pods, those are occupied. If you go to the right side of the great hall there is two pods and we always have to go over to do a safety and security check regularly throughout the shift. Being the rookie officer the sergeant always sent me over to that side. This is about 2:00am-4:00am, I could hear people talking. I could hear footsteps and laughter. I thought it had to be from the occupied side, but when you think about it; where the inmates were on the occupied side you would have to go through three cinder block walls and the 25 foot wide great hall way. So, it is virtually impossible for those inmates that are locked in their individual cells to carry over that far. Truthfully some of those encounters that I had the hair on the back of my neck and on my arms stand up and freak me out so bad. So, I started talking to the other officers about it and they are like: ‘Yeah, every one of us has heard that from time to time, that’s why we always send the rookie over because we don’t like going over there.’ That kind of spear headed everything for me. Questions like why am I hearing all this? I always loved horror movies on TV. I loved books, so I went to the library to research and the librarian looked up other books from other libraries.” As the old saying goes; the rest is history.
