Newsletter - Paranormal / Pagan and more

Hello Friends,

I hope you all are doing well.

It has been a bit hectic on my end, as
there are new things on the horizon
that are planned and now set in stone
and others also being worked on.

I will be informing you of it with a
posting / e-mail newsletter during
the 4th of July Weekend.

Also I and another person are working
on the possibility as in the past, getting
permission to go to a haunted cemetery
after the July 10th ' Welcome to the
Unexplained World' hosted by the
Burbank Park District, information is
below.

As I mentioned in our last newsletter,
our Annette (hostess of The Unexplained
World broadcast), will be at the Pagan
event on June 21st in Willow Springs.

Also it is planned that Mercedes and I
will be visiting the event before we leave
for the haunted over nighter that night.

If you see us (lol - you may know what
I look like by now), stop and say hello,
also stop by Annette, you can see her
on our web site in the video section at:
http://theunexplainedworld.com

Information is below about this event.

Have a good weekend,

Ed Shanahan - The Unexplained World

Paranormal Dates:

Beyond the Veil with Ursula Bielski, Chicago's
top paranormal author and my self, will take
you to the location that is just ours for an
Overnight stay in a haunted location that has
had at least 100 deaths, the emotions and
forgotten souls of:

An Abandoned Mental Institution,
The Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, IL.

Ursula will be assisting all who come out
with her Investigation knowledge. I will be
using my 'Feeler abilities' along with doing
my 'Circle of Energy' with having on my
left side in the Circle of Energy, Mercedes
who will be assisting (found out her abilities
in the Circle at Villisca Axe Murder House).

This will be unique for me, and somewhat
wondering what I will be walking into at
this location, because of the energy of
emotions left there by those who had
suffered there throughout the years and
what was done to them, and the number
of people who have died there.

New 'News' from The Unexplained World

Hello Friends,

I'm happy to announce that after a conversation
with an individual who I was impressed by her
ability as a Spirit Feeler, something she basically
kept to her self and yet she could not hide it.

Also add that to the fact she is part of an
Investigation Group and has experience with that
also. I'm happy to say that Mercedes will be part
of our Inner Circle for The Unexplained World and
joining with me on our upcoming The Unexplained
World paranormal locations.

The reason for this is she adds to the strength
of the Circle of Energy, as proven at the Axe
Murder House (I've done the circle for three years
now and I know when the rare opportunity of
having a strong feeler on my left side is present).

Mercedes has also been invited to join Annette
and I on our broadcasts, and she will be back on
a week from this Sunday, (next show the 18th),
as we pick up with part two of our discussion
with Mr. David Kump.

Part one can be heard here - comes on when
you get to the web page:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also as mentioned in the past, the Investigation
team of LAPS is one I highly recommend after
seeing them at work (and only way I will
recommend an Investigation team), and will be
speakers with me on Thurs night July 10th, at
the Burbank Pk. district for the 'Welcome to
The Unexplained World' night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There may be another one or two individuals
I add to our Inner Circle of The Unexplained
World, that will be made known in the future.

Right now our The Unexplained World, inner
circle consists of:

Edward Shanahan (Spiritual Observer / Reader)
High Priestess Annette (co-founders)

Inner Circle Members:
Amy (Psychic Feeler)
David Kump (UFO's and such)
Mercedes (Paranormal Feeler)
Steve Hyzny
Bill
Donna / Mark (Paranormal)

Our paranormal web site is located at:
http://theunexplainedworld.com

Our Yahoo group is:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/unexplained_world
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am working on dates and locations
for The Unexplained World in the future,
it is something I want to do the way I have
it planned in my mind and just working with
crossing the t's and dotting the i's to make
sure there are no surprises for me once it
is set. Details soon will be following and
there should be things you enjoy with what
I'm planning for The Unexplained World.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also let me say, if any group of individuals
outside of the Chicago land area (meaning
like Wisconsin), etc.. would be interested in
having me out and possibly Mercedes and
others in the inner circle, feel free to contact
me and I will see if it is possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beyond the Veil trips are a creation of
Ursula Bielski and my self and different
from my The Unexplained World paranormal
outings and her Chicago Hauntings Tours.

The next couple of Beyond The Veil
locations will be:

Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, IL.
over nighter starting on June 21st.

Ashmore Estates is a three-storey building
that was built in 1916. It has housed people
who were indigent and those who had mental
disabilities. From 1916 to around 1956 the
building was the Coles County Almshouse
located on the 200-300 acre Coles County
Poor Farm.

During that period as many as 100 people
died in the building. From 1956 to 1976 it
housed the "mentally impaired" as a
mental institution. In 1976 Paul Swinford
purchased the building and reworked it to
be used as a ICFDD (Intermediate Care
Facility for the Developmentally Disabled).
The building remained in use until 1987
when it was closed due to lack of funding.
9 paranormal groups have visited here since
July 2006. All have said the building is very
active."
--from the Ashmore Estates website.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Humphrey House - Orland, Pk. IL
Saturday July 26th. - 6pm start.

The home of Senator and Mrs. John Humphrey,
the couple lived in this Orland Park home
until their first child died at birth.

The infant girl was buried at nearby
Bachelors Grove, one of the most haunted
cemeteries in the world. When Mrs. Humphrey
was found dead in the house soon after,
extraordinary events at both the home and
the cemetery began, leading even the home's
caretakers to wonder whether the famed
"Madonna of Bachelors Grove"--one of
Chicago's most infamous phantoms--is,
in fact, the shade of Mrs. Humphrey bearing
her lost child.

More details and reserving for either Beyond the
Veil nights, can be found at:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Experiment - Are you interested in participating ?

As it states, this will be an experiment at no cost
or fee. Mr. David Kump will be running it (hear our
last broadcast).

What I need are a couple more feelers or sensitive's
to participate in my Circle of Energy and done for a
different reason other then picking up spirits. This
will be in the eve and we are looking at Saturday
June 14th.

It will be done very, very near the Indiana Dunes
and we will meet at Annette's house (details of
meeting location, once you commit to coming).

As I said this will be an experiment by request of
David Kump.

Just e-mail me if interested.

Happy Hauntings,

Paranormal - What happened, possibilities, what's coming.

Hello Friends,

I'm just bouncing back from our Villisca Axe Murder
House Trip / weekend and followed up by doing readings
last night (Monday).

Below you will find my overview thoughts on the
location, my experience and how all contributed in
one way or another.

Then what is a possibility and what is coming up.

Also for those who are interested, I have a
MySpace page and blog at:
http://www.myspace.com/edsunray

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Villisca Axe Murder House - Experience.

I have to say it was an enjoyable drive there and back.
Sure it was long, but I never have been in Iowa, so that
was new, plus those I traveled with were comfortable to
be with, and when your traveling hours on end, that is
very important. And Mike, Wanda and Mercedes I briefly
met in the past and on this trip I feel they have become
friends.

You can hear Mercedes describe some of the stuff that
went down at the house on our recent broadcast (it will
be the show that comes on when you get to the page):
at:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw

Also in the Archived Shows you can hear the live 1/2 hour
remote from the Villisca Axe Murder House with Ursula
Bielski(who planned this Beyond the Veil overnighter with
me), Wanda, Mercedes and Mike. Mercedes and Mike's cell
phone are the only ones who were able to get out with the
phone call to the broadcast that Annette was controlling,
so we ended up sharing phones for the remote broadcast.
Annette had her hands full but did an excellent job.

We had 12 individuals total participate, a nice number
for this location.

It was a very interesting and active location, one of the
few that I got banged up some at, but each could of been
worse then what actually happened, as with two of them
inches made a difference. Lu who is also a feeler caught
it hard when a door slammed on her finger when she first
walked into the location.

It actually was for the first time, at a location that
I provided my self protection before the Circle of Energy.

Yes it is haunted, yes there are spirits there, both good
and bad and I believe most experienced it in one way or
another.

Right now Marion and her husband are working on putting
the EVP up on the Internet, this stood out on it's own, was
caught on the recorder while it sat in a closet next to
the bed the boys where killed in. This came about why we
all were downstairs and we had the Circle of Energy going.

One thing that came out of this and was important, is what
came about in discovering who also had abilities to feel
and know the spirits. The two ladies I had on each side
of me, Stacy and Mercedes both are strong feelers and
I hope to have Mercedes participate in other Circle of
Energy locations in the future, as she also has the
paranormal background as an Investigator and she describes
what is going on as it happens during the Circle of Energy.
This then would give us 3 who I can invite to be on my left
side because of their abilities that I have already experienced.

The Ghost Box that Ursula brought with her (and will
bring to other locations for Beyond the Veil), was a very
interesting tool to have with, and made a few of us actually
wonder about it's ability, because of how direct it was to
some of the situations that it responded. We will work with
it in the future also, as a test of it.

To hear more, just listen to our recent broadcast at:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Possibilities:

OK - I had a discussion with Mr. David Kump, who you
can hear also on our last broadcast. After hearing
'again' what came about in the Circle of Energy, and a
believer as many are, that Spirits, Supernatural, the
unknown of other forms of lives beyond what we know,
could be tied together.

He would like to have me involved, Annette (who has
already agreed, along with me), those who I feel have
abilities to be in the Circle of Energy (on my left side
& I will be contacting them), and an invitation to those
who also have abilities to feel.

This will be an experiment, right near Indiana Dunes,
no cost or fees and we would meet at Annette's (near
the Indiana Dunes), for this experiment. If there is
interest right now, let me know.

All I have to do is set a date for this. More may be
discussed during our next broadcast on May 18th,
as David will be our guest again for part two of our
discussion with Annette and I, and Mercedes we
plan on having back also.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other Possibilities:

Plans are in the works for local S.W. Chicago Historic
Paranormal Locations, this will be The Unexplained World
outings.

Also if you or your team would like to have me involved
in one of your ghost haunting locations and outings or
have me set one up for you, feel free to contact me by
e-mail, my MySpace, Yahoo group etc..
