Paranormal investigation at house in Chicago suburb last night
Last nights at the vacant home in S.W. Suburb with the LAPS investigation team, I ended up investigating with them for a while as the readings they where getting was off the wall 15.3 to 17.00 with the EMF tools when I would take the tool, and let my self be guided to areas in the different rooms and made requests of the spirits.
The highest readings came when I tapped in to the fact there was a child there and I started talking to it. No negatives spirits, all was video taped in darkness as no flash or lights where used. Also the child was not from the house, as where the other spirits (Cherry pipe tobacco smelled, perfume etc..) as I have a full belief Spirits have no or walls, and I usually draw children and I'm now thinking that may stem back to the healing miracle my granddaughter received and is what the doctors called it.
Also the owner of the house popped an item of her mothers who passed away, on me to read, the mother's ashes.. The conscious channeling reading went well, right down to the name of the grandmother's name who also passed away and telling the owner they brought her mother a scooter right before she passed away.. Also a very funny part of the night, was when I got spooked big time, to the point Manny from LAPS was laughing so hard, he had tears. I stayed a lot longer then I planned, but once you tap in to something, it's hard to leave.

Haunted Insane Asylum is coming in June.. Join Us.

Haunted Insane Asylum Overnight is coming.
Saturday June 13 to Sunday the 14th.
Join Ursula Bielski and me (Ed Shanahan), for this
one of a kind Beyond the Veil at the Bartonville
Insane Asylum in Peoria, IL.
We have a daylight video tour of location and I just
added the Internet radio interview Annette and I had
on our show with J.C. Harris who assists running
the location. If you have not heard it yet, I
suggest that you go to our web page and under
the video tour you will hear the interview and what
Mr. Harris is expecting may happen to me on this
night because of my abilities. You can hear it and
view the video at:
http://hauntedhistoriclocations.com/paranormal_events.html
Also you can sign-up to participate with Ursula
Bielski and I, along with the others who will be
participating with us at this one of a kind location.
All I can say is what I'm feeling as time gets
closer to this night. This may be a night of picking
up all kinds feelings from the many spirits, deaths
and those who where the Incurable Insane and
knew no other home then the Insane Asylum.
I've experienced many places, some like the
Villisca Axe Murder House I could not only feel
but seen in my mind what happened.
One location in the Chicago area that I can not
call by name here, I was hit by all the emotions
of the dead and living and they hit me from
all directions all at one time and was never
ending and actually pushed me against the
wall as I was being hit from all directions by
the emotional feelings in the place of the
Spirits and the living. So I'm just wondering
what this place holds for me and maybe
all of those who attend.
Michelle who is a Spirit Seer will be joining
me and Ursula on this night, as will the
LAPS Investigation Team. We will also
have Ursula's Ghost Box with us on this
night.
Again details can be found at:

I posted the fact that a date has been set
for Beyond The Veil with Ms. Ursula Bielski
and me, to take individuals to the Haunted
Joliet Mansion - the Scutt Mansion.
I have not finished my web site pages yet,
to include our Beyond The Veil at the haunted
mansion, but Ursula has and the information
is below along with a link to the web page.
I wanted to inform you all, because there
is something we are doing incase you may be
interested in giving it as a Holiday Gift for
someone you know, including also your self,

Below is the information and the link to the
web page for more details.
Have a safe and great Holiday,
Edward Shanahan
http://edwardshanahan.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beyond The Veil goes to the Haunted Joliet
Mansion - The Scutt Mansion and there is a
little bonus thrown in for those reading this
here, to assist you in maybe giving this as
a gift for the holidays for someone special
(including you).
Ms. Ursula Beilski (Chicago's top paranormal
author of 6 books), and my self - for the 1st
time will together take individuals for our
Beyond The Veil location experience - to the:
Haunted Joliet Mansion, The Scutt Mansion.
This will be Ursula's very first time at the
mansion.
You have seen me write about this location in
the past and I have taken groups there both during
the day and at night and at all times we have
reached the max amount of people allowed to
sign up.
This will be at night, on Saturday January 31st.
This will also be an opportunity for those present
to have their photos considered for publication in
Ursula Beilski's next book.
Also since your receiving information on this by
way of my posting it here and before I even have
it listed on the Haunted Historic Locations web
site (I wanted to inform you before Christmas
Gift Giving).
You can reserve your spots for the night of Jan. 31st,
with just 1/2 down in advance and the difference paid
in cash on the night of January 31st.
Also joining us will be - Michelle, who we talked to
on our recent Internet radio broadcast of The Unexplained
World (it is listed as our 3rd year and Holiday Special):
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
Michelle will be assisting me this night, she sees
Spirits at times and is a Feeler also. She talks
about it on the radio show above. Also she will
for her first time, be part of my Circle of Energy.
Also I'm hoping that Mercedes can join us on this
night.
Ursula will have her Ghost Box with us on this night.
This is the one that she and I have used at other
locations in the past with great results.
Also she will be assisting individuals with doing
an Investigation type of exploring at this location.
I will be offering 6-8 free Conscious Channeling
readings of items of loved one's who have passed
away, depending on time (remember it has to be
an item they wore often, like glasses, rings,
watch etc..).
Michelle and I will be wandering around the building
to assist those with our feelings and maybe Michelle
will see something. I also hope Mercedes will be able
to come out.
Also my Circle of Energy at the end of the night
and most likely in what I feel is a creepy room,
the doll room.
Again:
You can reserve your spots for the night of Jan. 31st,
with just 1/2 down in advance and the difference paid
in cash on the night of January 31st.

EVP's captured in Worth, IL building.
Well I just came across this from Jenny's video post here
on MySpace (link it below). She is talking about the recent
Oct. 25th night when I ran a psychic fair and also that night,
we explored the haunted location in Worth, that was made
known public for the first time that night.
Also are some things that came across during my
Circle of Energy that I did that night.

News: Historical Locations Bring On Paranormal Spirits Observer
Chicago, IL September 1st, 2008
Historical Museums and Historical Societies from locations like the Worth, IL Historical Museum that is part of the Heritage Corridor, to the Joliet Museum of Victorian Life and Joliet History have joined with Chicago area Paranormal Spiritual Observer, Psychic, and Internet radio show co-host of The Unexplained World, Edward Shanahan.
This unique combination of the Historical and Historians along with the Paranormal
History of Edward Shanahan have come together to create what is titled ‘Haunted Historical Locations – tours and experiences’. These are not just bus tours, they go beyond that, as they offer the ability to explore many of the historic locations. The Historians of the areas that are visited, will tell the historic facts about the locations and Edward Shanahan will tell the paranormal history of the locations.
Edward Shanahan has lived his whole life within minutes of the Chicagoland area’s most haunted historic locations in the S.W. Suburbs just outside of Chicago. Areas like Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, Resurrection Cemetery that is home of Resurrection Mary and has all his life been just five minutes from the city he lives in. The haunted Archer Avenue and Willow Springs, IL area are within minutes of his home and provided him the paranormal knowledge that allowed Shanahan to be written about with two of the locations on Archer Avenue in the book ‘Encyclopedia of Haunted Places’. His knowledge, experiences and photos of the many haunted locations in the S.W. Suburbs of Chicago has also allowed him to be written about in two other books about the paranormal, and are ‘Voices From The Chicago Graves’ and ‘Ghosts Coast to Coast’.
Shanahan’s abilities as a Paranormal Spiritual Observer, Psychic and Feeler has also brought him together with Ms. Ursula Bielski, who is Chicago’s top paranormal author with paranormal tours in the city of Chicago, together they have combined their talents for the last two years for their ‘Beyond The Veil’ overnighters.
The Haunted Historic Locations – tours and experiences can run four hours or longer depending on the amount of locations that are explored by foot, once leaving the transportation that is provided. In addition, Edward Shanahan will provide a demonstration of his ‘Circle of Energy’ at one of the haunted historic locations on the tours.
For details on the Haunted Historic Locations – tours and experiences, visit their web site at: http://hauntedhistoriclocations.com

New 'News' from The Unexplained World
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.
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:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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..
