What's New in July 2007...

On '14 Degrees'

Well it's been quite a year and now the film itself is in in the post production stage with some minor parts left to be filmed (such as the narration with Mark Veau). We've dedicated a large chunk of our time to getting this film wrapped up and packaged by the fall (which is right around the corner!)

the few months ahead we hope to have another trailer posted to give you an idea of what the movie has turned out like and what you can expect and we'll also be working on the extra DVD which may or may not be present during the premiere (but will follow soon after if not) We'll also be working on marketing amd merchandise (another important part of the film process)

Be sure to check out Keith, Sandra and Carl Johnson at this Special paranormal gathering happening this September! Don't miss it!

What's New in May 2007...

On '14 Degrees'

 

In May we traveled to Johnstown NY with ISIS Investigations for an investigation of the old Knox Mansion. (once owned by the Knox gelatin family) They conducted a tedious and professionally executed investigation of this 42 room classic mansion. While there we took advantage of the EVP session to test our recently constructed Faraday cage.

Also during May we traveled to New Jersey for the great priveledge of interviewing three members of SJGR (South Jersey Ghost Research) and were amazed to learn that this group has just celebrated their 50th year investigating! If thats not testimony to dedication I don't know what is! This group is highly organized and very experienced. They were also kind enough to let us use some of their best EVP evidence in our film! Thanks SJGR! I would also like to mention some great evidence was also donated by an equally professional investigation group from England. - Be sure to check out www.para-science.com

Video coming soon!
While in NJ we were finally fortunate enough to score an interview with LISPR (long Island Society for Paranormal Research) LISPR was actually the first group to bring us along on an investigation nad actually gets the credit for launching this film in the right direction. We captured their investigation back in May of 2006. Since then we've been chasing time trying to hook up with them again. Great group!- and now a T.A.P.S. family member!

Video coming soon!
 

Also during May we conducted several experiments of our own and had volunteers participate in a study dealing with EVP's Pictured right is Neil Clayman, one of the volunteers. The results of the study provided us with some interesting information regrading the perception if EVP. As mentioned above the EVP samples were provided by the South Jersey Ghost Research Group and by Para-Science of England.

What's New in March 2007...

On '14 Degrees'

In March we had the pleasure of re-interviewing the Berkshire Paranormal group. Although the first round of interviews we conducted back in January went well, we ran in to some technical difficulties which required a re-shoot. Click the photo to the right for a quick video clip from the interview.

During our original investigation at the Houghton Mansion, what we thought was a moving shadow turned out to be nothing more than a bat. Bear in mind we were in complete darkness when this encounter occurred. So Bat or ghost it was still enough to make us jump. Click the picture to the right to watch the clip.

In February, we had the pleasure of interviewing the 3 members of the Rhode Island based group N.E.A.R. (New England Anomalies Research). We sat down and had a chat with Keith and Sandra Johnson (two of the groups Demonolgists) as well as Andrew Graham.

During our interview, the group members took the liberty of recording the event on audio tape which yielded a very clear class "A" EVP which directly corresponded with the conversation in the room at the time! Check back soon for the posting of that file here in the news section. Also be sure to check out N.E.A.R. on YouTube.com. They have a great television show called "Ghosts are Near!"

Also in December NGM traveled with The Boston Paranormal Investigators team to "The Victorian" a stately mansion in Gardner, MA. This house has a vast history that includes Calvin Coolidge, P.T. Barnum and Norman Rockwell and bears an equally impressive paranormal past. Although this was mainly a tour and explanation of the ghostly activities that make this mansion a popular investigation spot, a full investigation of this house was conducted back in May of 2006 with L.I.S.P.R. (Long Island Society for Paranormal Research) Evidence captured from this site includes many EVP's and several anomalous photos and personal experiences.

The Charlemont Inn

What's New in November 2006...

On '14 Degrees'

NGM traveled to Charlemont to follow the Spirit Encounters Research Team (S.E.R.T.) during their investigation of a haunted inn built around 1750. The Charlemont Inn, is a charming old inn in the quiet suburbs located along the Mohawk Trail and is apparently haunted by the spirit of a woman and child. Check back for video clips from this investigation.

Also in November, NGM's investigation with ISIS originally planned for Vermont has been post poned. Patricia and Dayna of ISIS have mentioned they are carefully selecting an appropriate case for NGM to document.

On November 18th NGM traveled to Nashua NH. with B.P.I. (Boston Paranormal Investigators) to capture footage at the historic Gilson cemetery. The investigation produced several anomalous photos including one containing a very demonic mist. Check back soon for photos from this investigation.

Also in mid November NGM traveled with (S.E.R.T.) to the Colonial Inn in Yarmouthport, MA. This investigation yielding some very interesting results. Not only did members of our own crew have experiences, Rob Tremblay and his wife Karen (founders of SERT) had some of their own. Several photographs of the Inn show some unusual black masses. (Photo coming soon)

One of the more unusual experiences occurred in the basement during an EVP session with the members of both N,E,A,R, and S.E.R.T. One of our cameras appeared to pick up strange light anomalies (seen below) . These glowing balls of green light appeared to encircle Keith Johnson and his wife as they asked questions during the session.

After examining this footage a bit closer and showing it to several experts in the field, we are unable to determine what these lights actually are. They aren't reflections since they leave the subjects body and free float. and they are not lens flares since they don't follow the camera movement. Click here to see a sample of this footage. Bear in mind, this footage has been slowed down to make it easier to see.

This month we also met with Rob Tremblay and members of the Spirit Encounters Research Team (S.E.R.T.) based in Chicopee, MA. Rob and his team have invited the NGM crew on two forthcoming investigations, one of which will involve Keith Johnson, The consulting demonologist from the hit Sci- Fi show "Ghost Hunters". Should be a fantastic experience!

On the horizon for next year we were also fortunate enough to secure an interview with one of the most respected paranormal investigators/demonologists in the field... John Zaffis. After speaking with John at his home in Connecticut, he has graciously agreed to an interview in the early part of next year. An experience we're definitely looking forward to! John has appeared in many television documentaries across a variety of networks including The Discovery Channel, TLC, Lifetime's Unsolved Mysteries, ABC and The Sci Fi Channel. Be sure to check out his book "Shadows of the Dark"

What's New in September 2006...

On '14 Degrees'

We've just recently completed an interview segment with Steve Gonsalves from T.A.P.S! (A.K.A. The Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters). Steve is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and a very professional investigator. We certainly appreciate the time he took to speak with us. We're still trying to lock down an interview date and time with Brian Harnois.

We've also been in contact with a great investigation group from the Albany New York area called ISIS. The unique feature of this group is that they are a coven of ghost hunting witches. Yup, you read that right ...witches. Now before your mind starts to wander and you start to visualize a group of old crones flying around on broomsticks with EMF meters, I would like to state (for those of you who aren't already aware) that the popular vision of witches is a very far step from the truth. In reality, witchcraft is much more related to Shamanism than satanism. Those seeking further education on the matter can find it here.

We've also been in touch with SERT (Spirit Encounters Research Team) based in western Massachusetts. SERT is another unique group who's investigation locations consist mainly of Inn's and B&B's although the occasional haunted residence or cemetery is sometimes thrown in for good measure. We have the pleasure of meeting with both of these groups in October and will be documenting several investigations throughout the fall.

Unfortunately, the haunted church in Winchester, MA has temporarily been delayed due to the sudden absence of the individual responsible for scheduling our investigation. Hopefully we'll get in there soon.

The "14 Degrees" trailer is just about done with post production and should be released very shortly. It's great trailer and should help us to generate some real interest in our film.

What's New in August 2006...

On '14 Degrees'

Right now, we're waiting a final date from the Boston Paranormal Investigators group for an investigation of a haunted church in Winchester, MA. Also I just got a call from Brian Harnois from T.A.P.S! (A.K.A. The Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters) He and Steve Gonsalves are definitely interested in giving us an interview and will call when he returns from Europe later this month. Anthony is making efforts to arrange for a Ouija board demonstration with a woman in NH who claims to achieve incredible results when using one.

On other productions:

The round up has begun! Anthony has been searching to find local animators who are interested in beginning work on The Phenomenal Goons. Are you an animator or do you know one that might be interested? If so we would love to hear from you! Click here to contact us now!
