saying goes; the rest is history.
George is a spiritual person, whom does not really claim any religious institution. As a Free Mason it is a requirement to have a belief in some form of higher power. When working a case he does his utmost to stay neutral to the events that are reported at a location. He and his team do extensive research on a location before they investigate; often going to an area’s county clerk’s office to dive into the archives to look up old maps and history long forgotten. By doing this George feels that a team can not only tap into the energy of a location by understanding its history, but also gain an understanding of what type of entities are causing such events to happen. For example, he was working on a case that involved a couple that had a lot of wooded land. They decided that they wanted to push the woods back an acre or so to put in an in ground pool among other things. Right after they did all that work on their land, items like keys would disappear for hours and reappear in unusual places like the bathroom. George reviewed property maps and other records; he found out that the land has never been leveled or altered in anyway. The solution hit him “like a ton of bricks”. They couple had upset the Element Spirits of the land, the fairies. George advised the couple to plant some fruit trees and a flower garden to please the Elementals on their land. The couple decided to follow his advised and after they completed their gardens things around their home relaxed.
Events like this help further George’s belief that if us as humans were to have a closer relationship with nature; then we can develop into a deeper spiritual state of being. He also makes note that there is more to the paranormal world than just the wandering souls of deceased humans. On his own radio show he welcomes guest from all areas of paranormal investigation. Of course I am speaking of Cryptic and UFO hunters alongside ghost hunters. He goes into his interviews the same way he goes into his own investigations, by doing his upmost to leave his own personal bias and ideas at the door and see what is brought to the table. He is deep spiritually but also has a degree and background in criminal justice, George takes a rather intellectual and dare I say forensic approach to his cases. In addition to doing full research on location before he and his team arrive, he also have over 200 books on the paranormal in all its incarnations, myths, scientific theory, and religion. George feels strongly about arming oneself up intellectually. Not only understand what a team is doing while they collect evidence but also give a better understanding of what spirits a team may encounter on location. He is very much aware of the stigma in the mainstream scientific world that paranormal research has. At this time paranormal research is pseudoscience plan and simple.
“In my opinion the paranormal is a big mixture of myth and lots of theories, but you have got to firmly base it in reality. That is how I came up with the title of my title: At the Crossroads of Myth, Theory, and Reality. In the paranormal world there is a point where all three of them have to come together to be considered legit or acceptable; even if that acceptance is a small amount of people, because I mean face it. The paranormal world is pseudoscience anyone with a half a brain will admit that. It is pseudoscience. It really bothers me when people say they use the scientific method in their paranormal investigations, because there is no way to do that.”
George feels that it is just about impossible to use the scientific method in paranormal investigations due to their unpredictability. A team can go to one location that is famous for being very haunted and capture all kinds of evidence and activity; then return to the same location the next week and receive nothing at all. He shares his and his team’s experience with such a situation when they investigated Waverly Hills Sanatorium:
