Message from Jim

First of all, I would like to thank all who participate thus far!

Rest assured in knowing that this research will continue. We are very pleased with the results thus far and will soon be expanding our studies to include spirits and other forms of life beyond our own realm. So unless I am missing the target, I believe we are just beginning to tap into the surface of what can be considered a wealth of knowledge yet to be discovered. And as for the questions chosen for each research phase, my partner Jackie and I are focusing on very specific questions based on criteria that we have established for this project. However, at this time we are not soliciting for viewer participation until we feel that the most relevant questions have been asked first. 

How are the published responses determined?
First of all, we always wait for a few dozen replies to come in before posting anything. That way we can be assured that the answers are not spawned from other sources. If we see that the majority of ghosts are agreeing on a particular topic (question), then that tells us that those responses have more relevance and are especially worthy of consideration, if that makes sense. And as we consider the responses thus far published, we are able to see a common thread that correlates between them. An example would be the question asking if ghosts can see into the future... I believe they all responded similar to “not at all”. However, it should be stated that we are referring strictly to ghosts and not spirits. We also found it interesting that most ghost responses agreed that I (Jim) am not readily available to be viewed by ghosts because apparently ghosts are normally bound to a location or area. And even if they are not completely restricted to a geographical area, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of ambition or motivation to travel great distances as easily as a spirit might. Of course many responses are obviously not posted for public viewing. Some are on hold because of graphic content and yet others are suspected of being dishonest. Then there are those that we feel are not quite ready for public viewing under the present conditions, which I will not elaborate on. 

How are messages from ghosts received?
For the most part... the responses are coming from mediums that convey the messages to us through email. However, there have been a few select cases where either the ghost manipulated a computer or a living individual was standing by to send the dictated response. I have also received one quick message on my cell phone… and other attempted messages have been brought to me in my home through visitation. I must say however, that I am not at all receptive and lack an ability to fully receive the impulses directed to me… so direct communication has failed thus far. There was also one instance where I laid my head on my pillow and received a static sounding message with a fairly clear voice. That happened twice. Unfortunately, I panicked and dismissed the messenger. 

So that's where we stand so far in this new and most exciting research venture. :)
