Thousands
of people are now involved with “ghost hunting” as a hobby. They prowl purported haunted locations with
recorders and cameras in hand, hoping to catch evidence of spirits. But how many actually understand exactly what
they may be dealing with and what they may take away from their encounters?
Consider
this:
“In any given day our
brains process over 70,000 thoughts, thoughts that lead to actions. What if something could interfere with that
delicate process? Let’s consider there
are things out there beyond our unaided abilities of sight and hearing that did
and continue to have an influence on our thoughts.”
So
reads the statement on the back of Barry Fitzgerald’s outstanding book, “The
Influence.”
Barry
is no stranger to the paranormal and is most widely recognized for his work on the
popular show “Ghost Hunters International.”
While
GHI was basically a work of entertainment, Fitzgerald’s work off screen has been
quite serious. He has put in a lot of
time both in the field and delving into serious research.
In
The Influence, Barry explores various aspects of this negative, invisible energy
and how it many play a role in various types of hauntings, cases of reported
demonic activity and possession and even how this may all relate to mental
illness and violent behavior. Including
cases to illustrate his points, the author makes a clear case that everyone should
consider and, hopefully, bear in mind when dealing with paranormal incidents.
Fitzgerald
also addresses the effect of poor diet and how it relates to the unseen
energies that surround, and possibly, influence us on a daily basis.
Since
we have become bombarded with food filled with chemicals, additives and
genetically modified components, the health of the average person has
plummeted. But beyond the physical damage,
what have these unnatural foods done to the function of the brain? Additionally, what’s now absent from our
diets that may have further weakened us to the effects of the influence?
This
information in this book is of great importance to the paranormal field. If you are actively involved in investigating
or even mildly interested in the subject, I suggest you read the influence and
consider the perspective offered. At the
least, the book should prod you to think in a more positive manner and that is
the greatest influence of all.
