UPDATED ON AUGUST 26 2024 - QUESTIONS #78 -> 82 WERE ADDED

Do you have questions about the paranormal you'd like them answered? If so then please email them to us!

Below are some of the questions received that were answered by Patrick Zakhm

82- You say there are consequences in the spirit world for acts like lies, thefts killings and so on but does abortions also takes you in that direction??

"Yes It does. An abortion is similar to a murder but has a lesser degree in punishement because the driving force behind this act is mainly ignorance and not intentional. You see everything you do here in the physical that your soul does not agree upon have consequences after the physical death. And the payments is given back in suffurings. This is the type of payments you will have to endure afterward. And nobody can help you no matter who you were in your last physical life. You will be forced to pay in suffurings for what you have done in your physical life in which your soul your morals have told you not to do. Yet you went on and did it anyways, ignoring the warnings from your soul. Your soul knows the consequences of such acts and know what awaits her afterward but your ego, your physical ego does not. Once you are put to suffer, time stand still, there's no time anymore. You can spend years, decades or even centuries stuck in a place that is meant to make you suffer. All according to what you have done."

"Let's take lies(there are no white, blue, yellow or green lies - all are called lies) for instance. Someone who lied all the time in his last physical life terrible suffurings awaits him after death. Depending on what type of suffurings those lies have inflicted on others the soul of this person will be forced to live in a specific place in a pitch dark world for example for years and suffur what those lies have inflicted on others in suffurings in the physical life or you will be forced to sit completely naked in a very cold place in an excruciating painful position for years and years(this is from a psychic point of view still living in the physical). So for the lies punishements a soul will be forced to suffer the same type of suffurings those lies have given to people. You just cannot escape, for spiritual consequences punishements, nobody can help you no matter how much you scream and beg for forgiveness. Your only salvation is pain and suffurings."~Patrick Zakhm~

81- Im very interested in ghosts and the paranormal, what books do you suggest that I read?

"First, when you go ghost hunting dont think much of what you are doing before arriving to haunted/supposadly haunted sites. This neutral attitude makes you more sensitive to ghosts vibrations or presance upon arrival. You will actually feel them. So look before you think and don't think before you look. This comes with time and you will learn on your own how to do it or you may already be a sensitive person and pick them up right away. Experience is your only true teacher."

"As for what books? Book..Books takes you no where. Your teacher is your experiences, intuitions, gut feelings and listening to your spirit guides(which will show themselves to you in time when you are ready). The more experiences, paranormal experiences you go through the more you understand the paranormal. And you do not choose the paranormal the paranormal chooses you and if it does chooses you your levels of spirituality and understanding of everything will reach way above those who have chosen the paranormal themselves instead of the paranormal choosing them."

"You can start by visiting haunted sites and little by little you will start to understand these phenomenons. Don't try to understand them logically, logic takes you no where here. Thinking actually damage what spiritually you are picking up, what your soul is receiving in info. The brain cannot understand these things, the brain is meant to understand/create thoughts connected to the the physical world only. You can also do some meditations which its purpose is only to quiet the mind. A simple effective metidation is something like the following: Just sit down in a quiet place and close your eyes and think of a place you like to be in and be there(as real as you can be) as long as you can, for example on a beach or any place you like to be in. And try to stop your thoughts that will try to interrupt this experience. Just grab these thoughts and toss them behind you. It will take time to do that of course. Only meditate if you are comfortable inside if you are not dont meditate, try another time or another place. Once you control your thoughts and you have a quiet mind you'll be able to pick up all kind of spiritual informations coming through your spiritual senses or organs of perceptions located in your soul. We all have these organs but in most of us they lay dormant. When you have the silence Im talking about spiritual information reach you easily."~Patrick Zakhm~

80- Do you always see everybody's souls after their death or is it that you see most except some people's souls, right?

"Yes, all those that I know/have known will come on their own to show themselves. Im like the Information desk in an airport with only one entrance to this airport. And Im put at that entrance. And all souls will pass in front of me stand a bit(standing time can be for minutes, hours or days)if they were good souls, if they were not I will not see them."

"And if I dont know these souls I can still call them to come pass in front of me. I will need their names and a picture of them to tune myself to them so they can see me(I sort of light up to them) to do the calling. And most will come right away, unless they are/were not good souls.."~Patrick Zakhm~

79- Ex US president Mr. Donald J.Trump, do you think he will be chosen again to serve another term on November 2024?

"Seeing the future is not my thing really even though I have predicted the future few times, more so getting glimpses actually of what was coming up to some people and that was confirmed later on to actually have occured. As for Mr. Trump, I have heard few of his speeches in the past and noticed that whatever comes out from his mouth is not complete and frontiered. Meaning that his body does not talk too with whatever he is saying, meaning that it is not true. When ever someone talks if what he is saying is true and was coming from his heart from his soul all his body talk with him, his gestures his movements the muscles in his face and so forth will all say the same things as what was coming out from his mouth. I don't see that happen with Mr. Trump. Actually from all the speeches I have heard from him, nothing was coming from his heart it was only a mouth speech/s, just hot hair and nothing more. The only time I heard him say something genuine is when he was asked a question that he was not expecting to hear, a surprise question and to that he answered from his heart. That's actually one of the tricks that one can use to test a subject if he tells the trueth or not, ask him a personnel unexpected surprise question."

"I listened later on to more and more of his speeches(which are all the same - false) and I was surprised totally how can someone keep talking like that all the time? How can he keep up with the false statements? You know most people don't tell the trueth from time to time, here and there occasionally they say things that are just false. But I have never heard of anyone or someone now or from history who followed this fake attitude all the time."

"Another strange thing to his attitude is that this gentleman seems to have created a false energy skin around him, I've never seen anyone having something like that before. One can feel it if he is sensitive enough. Very thick energy skin made up of only false informations. And it seems that each time he is asked a question the answer comes out or is pulled out from this false thick energy skin around him."

"The sad part here is that alot of people believe what this person says and keep on saying, his followers seems to be stuck in some kind of a mental state(some kind of an unknown brain disease) where trueth and false mean the same one thing, trueth. So no matter what a person like that says, to the people who are following him and believing in him, he is telling the trueth."

"There's a very dangerous part here too. If that continues, if a person like that keeps spreading false statements all the time this can lead to very dangerous conditions and situations which can jeapordize the lives of many many people and put them in real grave danger."~Patrick Zakhm~

78- During a EVP(Electronic Voice Phenomenon) session what questions do you recommand that we ask and what good recording equipments should we best have??

"Don't think in advance about what to ask. Just let the questions comes to you intuitively. If you are serious in what you are doing your spirit guides will inspire you what to ask. What you should NOT ask though are some of the following questions: "

"1)- Are you a ghost? "

"2)- Hello ghost, are you here, show yourself?"

"3)- Are you a good ghost or an evil one?"

"4)- Are you an entity or a ghost?"

"5)- Hey ghost, Im here with my friends, show yourself!"

"6)- Hi ghost, can you move the lamp for me?"

"7)- Ghost, move the chair that is in the corner and prouve to me that you exist."

"8)- Hello spirit, are you here?"

"Best equipment to record EVP is an ordinary tape recorder actually. Digital recorders seems to skip/miss things.."~Patrick Zakhm~

77- What is the best way to verify if a house is haunted or not before purchasing it?

"Always always, check the past owners/tenants, why did they leave? What was the reason for their departure? By doing so you'll get a good idea whether you should buy or not. Because if you do buy a haunted house there's a good chance you will be loosing alot of money when you try to resell it again, it will be very difficult and you will be forced to sell it way below its market value."~Patrick Zakhm~

76- I feel someone have put black magic or spells on me, can you help?

"Im afraid this is NOT in my field of work, I suggest looking for someone who specializes in this domaine. I have heard of a sheikh in Toronto who is good at that but please know that there's no magic bullet for that, the removal of black magic(if thats whats on you of course)takes time and a lot of work, a lot of prayers and rituels from the person working on removing the black magic off of you and you need to follow through with him for it to work."~Patrick Zakhm~

75- Are the Jinns the same as the demons?

"Yes, they are all from the same race of beings that are physical(vibrating at different frequencies)but invisible to us. Not all Jinns are evil though. Demons are just a family of Jinns that are turned to do evil acts or encourage people to do evil things and the devil or satan is their leader and have legions upon legions of Jinns that serve him. Jinns lead a life similar to ours but different. They've been the same for thousands of years and they have not changed. They have abilities way above what humans have and most of them communicate through Telephathy. There are types and types of Jinns, some are way superior to others in what they can do. Jinns can be found everywhere around us mainly but mostly they live in abandoned places, in deserts, caves and cemetaries.."~Patrick Zakhm~

74- I'm fascinated by these two subjects: Ghosts and Aliens. I want to know the trueth, do they really exist?

"The truth can only be shown to you if you can handle it. You see we are all put on a particular path(different to each) of evolution. And those who put you on it knows you more then you know yourself. You can call them entities, spirit guides, angels it doesn't matter. What matters is that you reach your goal and their job is to keep you safe on every level and on the right path. They can do that because they can see far ahead of us in the future for every info we receive for every action we do and for every thought we send out. They see the outcome of all of that and they decide what is good for you...for the now. If you are on a spiritual path or on a path of awakening for many years and you have noticed that little by little you are being shown things that you didnt know about before then be sure that if you keep following that path you will eventually end up receiving "the trueth"."~Patrick Zakhm~

73- What do you think of spirit boxes are they good?

"To me spirit boxes are like Ouija boards, not to be trusted. You can never be sure who comes through and talk to you. There are all kind of spirits out there that act nice but naturelly they are not. They can see your thoughts and what you know and from that they use a nice and sweet and gentle attitude just to get your attention and the more you give them that the stronger they become until one day they pass through and haunt your house. And you cannot get rid of them after that and no matter where you go they will follow you. Spirit boxes and Ouija boards opens you to the lowest of the lowest planes of the spirit worlds and who ever lives there(souls of criminals, rapists, thieves..etc)will come talk to you and pretend to be the one you are looking for. You are literally opening a communication portal with a prison's inmates, would you trust talking to any of them? So i do not recommend using spirit boxes, the same goes to ouija boards. Not and never to be trusted."~Patrick Zakhm~

72- Do people stay the same after death?

"Yes, as a soul now, they will stay the same way you remember them or they may look younger, much younger. Souls usually go back after death to the time they were the happiest. Eveything about them stay the same and they will dress the way they liked to dress in their favorite cloth. Each soul experiences after death is different though. They go through different planes of purifications that can last many weeks, months or even years. You cant do much in those planes to change that, you wait until you are cleansed and detached from your last life. There are spirit laws in every spirit planes and souls are forced to follow. Family members or friends who passed away earlier will usually come to those who just arrived in the spirit worlds. But not all the familly members and not all friends will come over. It all depends on where they went after their own purifications after their death.In all these planes after staying for a while you will always get temporary visits again from family members, friends etc who are on a higher spiritual plane then yours but they cannot stay with you for long only for a bit of time because they need permissions to make these visits. And over there the communications is telepathy but also when you are talking you are able to see the character and emotions of the other person you are talking to too. You cant hide anything."~Patrick Zakhm~

71- My father have died, do you think his soul is ok?

"Nobody dies, we just don't see them no more that is all. We end our trip here in the physical world through the death experience and we go back to were we came from, the spirits worlds. We are only visitors here and nobody really die the way we think death is. With death, the mission in the physical is over. We will meet everyone we lost again after our departure. And everyone go through different purification spiritual planes after death. And each plane have its own laws that souls are forced to follow. Im allowed(so far) to see in the first, the second and the frontiere between the second and the third plane. If a soul followed her heart and not the ego in her last physical life then her stay in the first plane is temporary. If not she can stay for month or even years and years in the first plane. If she did something against the laws of nature she will be taken away by force to a plane where she will suffer the consequences of her act. Souls in the first plane have complete freedom to move around and go see their loved ones and watch their lives, reading their thoughts and their feelings. The second plane activities are limited and the soul cannot move around, she is put to stay at a particular area and to wait. She can wait for months or years until the needed purifications have been reached otherwise she cant go anywhere. Also, souls can sometimes jump planes it all depends on how they led their lives here. The physical life and you you go through prepare on what is to come in experiences after death."~Patrick Zakhm~

70- I have heard that some haunted sites have hundreds of ghost. Is that possible?

"When there are many ghosts in an area they can become a small community. So if you can look at them spiritually from a distance they would appear as a small city with people belonging to an era or eras. But I don't think they are INSIDE a building or a particular castle/s. There can be many ghosts attached to a haunted location and they come and go in it, but I don't think they can be in the hundreds. In a old town or city yes but not in only one haunted building. And if someone tells me they have 96 ghosts alive and 48 other ghosts that were sent away by a psychic. I tell them this is utter BS. You can never exactly know how many ghosts you have because each have different vibrational frequency and they decide who see them psychically and who don't. Their energies intertwine and mix toguether so it's not possible to seperate them. And no one can send 48 ghosts like that, a bus loaded with ghosts sent away to the spirit worlds, because this tells me who ever came up with that number is pure ignorant to what a ghost is really and just looking for attention."~Patrick Zakhm~

69- Can a Ouija board create portals?

"Before I go any further a Ouija board is a very dangerous tool that no one should touch or play with. The board is nothing it's what goes around it that is dangerous. It's what the board push you to do which is to concentrate your thoughts as well as those with you. And its this concentration that create a portal which is a weakening in the fabric of the spiritual side of our physical world. And through a portal/s like that all kind and type of spirits can come through into the physical world into the area where you are. Spirits and entities that come through come from the lower levels of the spirit worlds. And once there's a portal you cannot close it. I have yet to meet someone who have closed a portal. In most cases a neutral house with no ghosts or any paranormal activites can become very haunted by the use of a ouija board. People say, yes Ouija boards are dangerous but look I'm receiving messages through this board. Sure, you are receiving messages through the board. But do you see who is giving you these messages? Do you even have the slightest idea where these messages are coming from?No, you don't. Because if you do or even see who in reality is giving you these messages you wouldn't even touch a Ouija board or even look at one ever again. With the Ouija board you are literally connected to the worst of the worst prison in the spirits planes just as if you have a direct line to the inmates of one of the worst prisons in the world. You can talk to these prisonners and say to them what ever you want and they can do the same to you but that is all. With the ouija board connection you are not only talking to the worst spirits of all but you are litterally inviting them with open arms into your home."~Patrick Zakhm~

68- What causes a ghost to haunt a place?

"I think I have answered to a question like that in here in the past. Basically, attachments to the physical is one of the most common reasons. Anything physical one used to love or adore can chain his soul to it after the physical death experience. And this soul become chained to that particular object and become a ghost. And no matter where you take this object the soul haunting it will follow. Some other causes for souls to become ghosts are unfinished businesses, like for instance working on a very important project a person die without finishing it. Ignorance, or how a soul have died, for example a person hitchhiking and without noticing it he gets hit by a passing car. Torture that led to the person being tortured to die, this can also cause the soul of the tortured victim to haunt the area where he was held and tortured in it until his death because he is stuck into the sufferings memories that keeps replaying."~Patrick Zakhm~

67- Do ghosts come back?

No they don't. Because when a soul that is a ghost crosses over there's an awakening and realization and understanding to the situation this soul was in. So the soul that was a ghost won't come back. Getting out of being a ghost situation is similar to getting out of a bubble of past memories. That soul will rise out of this bubble and leave afterward."~Patrick Zakhm~

66- Are spirits the same as ghosts?

It's not easy to use physical words for beings that are not physical but I tend to use the words spirit or spirits for invisible beings that control or run the physical world. They work in the background, behind the physical settings and we cannot see them physically we can only see their products. Some ancient highly spiritual people from ancient civilizations were able to see these spirits, some anyways and they called them Gods. They called them Gods because they are way higher ahead and spiritual then anything they have ever seen or can see in the physical and based on what these beings were doing too. Using physical words to describe spiritual beings and spiritual phenomenons only create confusions hence ancient wisdoms came up with ancient myths and legends to depict and describe in symbols and methaphores what is not of physical nature and cannot be understood with logic and thoughts processes."~Patrick Zakhm~

65)-Have you ever heard of the Jinn/s? what are they?Are they ghosts too?

"No, Jinn are not ghosts. They are beings, physical beings that co-exist with us but live in another plane(right beside us if you like) that vibrate at different frequency then our plane. They were created according to Islamic sacred texts by God from a smokeless flames. They were created before man. There are many many different types, kind and size of Jinn. They are like us in that there are good Jinn and there are bad Jinn. Many types are shapshifters and it is rare to see them in their true form. From what I have seen so far, they seem to live in a colorless world. I have made contact with some of them in the past, please check previous website updates in here to learn more about them and what some look like."~Patrick Zakhm~

64)-There are known sites that are very haunted. Why people when they visit places like that don't see any ghost?

"First thing to know about ghosts is that you have to be very lucky to come across a ghost manifesting physically. You have to be at the right place, at the right time and at the right angle. The ghost has to be in front of you otherwise you wont see it even if it has manifested. Ghosts from what i have seen so far are 2 dimensional(or even 1 dimensional)they have a hight a width but no depth. Move a bit or change your angle and the ghost manifesting in front of you become invisible. Still it is quiet rare to see a ghosts in the physical plane manifesting physically like you and me and when they do manifest they usually dont stay long here."

"Second thing to know about ghosts is that there are 3 types of ghosts. The first are ghosts who are conscious they are dead and know they are still here attached to the physical(and that can be anything physical). Most of the time the reason they stay here is because of ignorance and attachement to material objects, but there are also other reasons as well. The second type of ghosts are those that are not conscious of their physical death so they live in a state similar to a sleep with no dreams. And the third types of ghosts are ghosts who are alive and very active. These are souls who are conscious but not conscious of their death, they usually live in their memories or the memory they remember the most. These ghosts are usually neutral but can become agitated and violent specially when they see strangers in their homes(which they see them as intruders) or when they see people change or do renovations(without permission) to their homes which appear to these ghosts as a disrespectefull gesture."

"Third thing to know about ghosts is that you cannot see them if they don't want to be seen physically or psychically. They have to allow you to see them otherwise you won't see a thing. And usually when ghosts are not pleased by the people on their land or in their homes problems starts appearing in electronic equipments because ghosts are magnetic in nature."

"Fourth thing to know about ghosts is that if one has psychic abilities he have alot of chance of making spiritual contact with a ghost and seeing him in his own plane, the ghosts plane. But still even with that if a ghost still doesn't want you to see him you still won't be able to. Another thing to mention is that if a ghost is not very comfortable letting you see him in his own ghost plane you won't see him fully. He will allow you to see parts of him like part of his side, shoulder and so forth and seeing that you understand that he is not really comfortable with you yet. When he is comfortable you will see him fully."~Patrick Zakhm~

63)-I feel there's something or someone following me. I can't see who is there I can only feel it. This all started after visiting a haunted site. What can I do to get rid of it?

"You should be carefull when you visit sites like these because there's a chance that whoever haunting the place you are visiting might follow you home. This is usually caused by something you did while there that may have offended the ghost or made him curious about you. There have been cases like that occuring but usually it's rare that this happens.. You see making a joke or laughing or mocking at something we can't see specially if you are in a haunted house might get you into trouble. The emotions you are projecting during this joke are very strong and very visible to ghosts. All kind of emotions we go through are visible to ghosts because they are in a plane where all emotions are visible to them. Also the emotions they see are way stronger and intense to them. We experience our emotions inside our soul and we also project them outward too. The degree felt by others around us are very minimal where for a ghost it's extremely strong. So the best thing to do in a haunted site is to be neutral and respectfull because you don't know who is looking at you and you don't know who is listening to your thoughts. Thoughts are visible to ghosts because the essance of a thought is spiritual in nature. It's not easy to get rid of a ghost that is following you around. What you can do is to ignore it because the more you ignore it the weaker it gets and leave you alone. You can also order it to leave you alone. This has to come from your heart to have an effect. If it does not work go back to where you caught this ghost or where this ghost belong to then yell or order it to leave you alone there. A priest can also help. Go to a priest that you trust or comfortable with and tell him that you feel something is following you. He should be able to help you get rid of it if not he'll send you to someone who can."~Patrick Zakhm~

62)-Why do you believe in ghosts?

"Well it's not a belief it's a phenomenon, it's a fact of life that is occurring worldwide. Whether one choose to believe that it exist/happening or not makes no difference at all. So if someone comes up to me and tell me "I have seen and witnessed things that blows your mind and i believe in ghosts". I would tell him, Great!. If someone else comes by and tells me"I have studied here and there in the most prestigious Universities on the planet and have diplomas from different fields so I'm very educated man but I don't believe in ghosts and all that you are talking about". I would tell him, Great!..Have a nice day. There are people who are ready for these things and there are those who are not yet no matter what you tell them or show them, it just does not sink in but bounce back as if they are carrying a shield, they just cannot grasp anything regarding the ghost phenomena which is ironic sometimes because some of these people have had unexplained experiences with ghosts or no ghosts and are looking for answers. I have many skeptics like that."

"When we are talking about ghosts we are dealing with forces and laws that can only be understood from experiences. Ghost experiences can not only teach us about how this phenomenon work but also about how we work about ourselves as well. Our physical body is just a vehicle for an invisible eternal spiritual grain of consciousness that we call soul that is always growing and evolving. The driver of the physical body, the I in everyone of us, who we are, our essence, the none physical part that keeps on living after the physical death experience. And feelings, emotions, thinking processes and our will are all forces that are part of that essence that never dies in us. And what we experience in our physical bodies are just echoes of phenomenons that are of spiritual nature. They are the effects if you like of causes and not the causes themselves just like heat is the effect of a fire and not the fire not the cause itself."

"Now when someone becomes a ghost his essence/soul stays here locked in his memories or what he remembers the most. Time ceases to exist to him and he no longer see the passage of time. Here we have the day and the night and we see the passage of time. Over there the same second stays the same second to a ghost, the idea of time no longer mean anything to him because it simply doesn't exist no more. An example, suppose someone walks into a closed very lit room with no windows or doors except the one he walked through of course. His phone and watch are all taken away from him. Now he lies down and sleep. He wakes up later, do you think he still knows what time it is? No of course, he doesn't know the time but he is still aware of the month and the year of course. But what if he repeat that many many times then walking up after, what would happens? Well he is completely lost in regard to time but he's still aware who he is of course. Most ghosts fall into similar condition but are not really conscious who they are. Someone died in 1865 at 14:26 and 12 seconds. To him nothing had changed it's still 1865 14:26 and 12 seconds. He's stuck in this time and he doesn't know it. Most ghosts are not aware but some are and know what have happened to them. So the majority of ghosts are sort of frozen in a timeless state and don't even know it."

"Their situation is similar to someone who checked into an airport then went to wait at his gate to board his plane but he never does. He is just waiting and waiting but doesn't know that he is waiting and that he has missed his flight. So most ghosts live in a state like that without knowing it because they live in their memories. The plane of existence that they are in reflect and recreate their memories around them as if it is real. In entering a haunted house the ghost/s there are most probably still living in their memories of their time and nothing had changed. You can demolish this house then rebuild another one on the same spot and nothing would change. The ghost would still see the same things around him as if nothing had happened."

"As for reasons why there are ghosts, well the most common ones are attachments to physical objects. Anything physical or made from this world can create spiritual chains with a soul and keeps it here. That can be a house, a table, a ring...etc. Anything that the person used to love/adore while he was still alive can cause him to stay here and chain him to it. And moving this object changes nothing because the ghost will move with it and follow where ever it goes and haunt it. So one can bring a ghost into his home just by bringing in a haunted object like that. Other reasons are ignorance, someone who lived in a house in the country and didn't know much except his own self his own life can also become a ghost and haunt that house. Unfinished business is another reason, someone who was working on an important project for instance and lost his life, he will stay behind and wont move on until a solution is found. There are other reasons of course but these are basically some of the main causes behind a haunting."

"Now for seeing physically a ghost, you have to be a very lucky person to come across one or to catch one on camera because you have to be present at the right place at the right time and at the right angle otherwise you'll miss that very short and very rare opportunity."

"For seeing spiritually ghosts in their own plane of existence and making contact with them is another matter. It is something that is gained through experience and available to some people with abilities in spiritual perceptions. Who over the years have awakened the organs of perception of their soul with proper meditations and who work with their spirit guides(who are on the other side)in bringing in solution/s to the ghost/s that are still here and in need of help."~Patrick Zakhm~

61)-This below is a translation of the interview made in French by CKVL FM 100,1(EDDNP) Montréal Radio Station on October the 31st 2014. (1:42:30.....1:54:54) for Halloween. These are the questions that the host Daniel asked Patrick Zakhm with no prior preparation or knowledge of the questioners. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Host:...Still from EDDNP with a special for Halloween, it's a pleasure to be talking with a authentic ghost hunter, we are with Patrick Zakhm from Montreal paranormal investigations. Good morning Patrick, how are you?
- Patrick: I'm fine how about you?
- Host: I'm very well, for the good of our audience you are calling us from overseas, so there might be some delay in the communication but we should be fine. Patrick Zakhm, you are a paranormal investigator, tell me what is that or what does that do being a paranormal investigator?
- Patrick: It's like being a detective, you try to understand what is going on, you look for haunted sites and try to understand what is going on and try to find solutions.
- Host: For how long you've been doing that type of work?
- Patrick: For about 20 years now.
- Host: How do we learn to be a paranormal investigator, what do you do to start in this field?
- Patrick: We have to have that in your blood, we can also say that you are chosen if you like by the other side by the spiritual world to do that.
- Host: Alright, what brought you in this field? What were the motivations behind that that made you do or start these paranormal investigations?
- Patrick: I was always interested and curious about the paranormal since i was little then in the early of 1990-91 i started visiting haunted sites and became more curious about these things then during a visit to a ESP psychic fair i received a message from a medium that shocked me, i could not understand how this lady could tell me private things about my life like that? Then my curiosity peaked some more and so i took this path.
- Host: So it's after a revelation from a lady that was a medium that helped you and guided you to take this path and do this type of work.
- Patrick: Yes, exactly, the lady was a complete stranger and surprised me how she knew these things about me you know. That made me think that must be seeing somebody that i can't see somebody from my own family who had passed away many years ago and she was being given this information from this deceased person.
- Host: So now you arrive at a haunted site occupied site, you are able to see the ghosts the spirits that are there, is that how it works?
- Patrick: Yes, we can say that but first you need to find sites that are haunted. Haunted sites give off a particular signature that i learned to pick up with time. So every haunted house give off a particular vibration.
- Host: OK, so it's not an odor it's not something visible. - Patrick: It's like someone who is visiting you, you get a visitor at home and this visitor have a particular perfume on him. Now this person stays a bit then leave. What is left behind is his perfume in your house that fills your house,right? So here with ghosts instead of a perfume it's a vibration that is left behind. This vibration cover and surrounds the whole haunted building but concentrated more in a particular spot in the house.
- Co-host and host: So it's a feeling right?
- Patrick: No no it's not a feeling, it comes from outside, it doesn't come from the inside, it's something that comes from the outside.
- Host: So it's not a feeling then. Do you use or does it need the use of particular equipments for ghost hunting?
- Patrick: I'm a sensitive which means I'm a bit a medium and a clairvoyant, I have degrees of different abilities in spiritual perception. It's like I'm a radar that is active all the time and is capable of picking up things that is not from this world.
- Host: OK, like a radar. Does the city of Montreal have a lot of ghosts?
- Patrick: Yes, there's a lot of ghosts in Montreal. There many sites that are haunted where people are living with ghosts and don't know it. Until they do things in the house do changes in the house and this is what can cause a ghost to become active and agitated. Because for the ghost he still think he is still alive and is in his house you see, he's not aware that he is dead.
- Host: Are there good ghosts and bad ghosts or are they all mean or are they all nice ghosts?
- Patrick: No no ghost are people like you and me, it's like people on the street you know the majority we can say are nice right but there are few that are not nice and are mean. It's the same thing you see.
- Host: OK, so it's the same technique for all. When you see a ghost what do you do, do you talk to them do you give them signs, how does it work?
- Patrick: No i don't talk* to them, i greet them and doing that opens a communication if you like between me and them. Then they would show me symbols and signs that i need to decipher to understand what is going on. The way they appear or comes out to me it's all signs, it's a language you see. *(Please note that things had changed in the way Patrick's communicate with souls and ghosts now. With time and experience he is able now to not only see in the spirit world but also communicate in a type of telepathy and empathy form with whoever approach him in the spirit and get a glimpse of where this spirit or soul or ghost are and sometimes even follow souls in their journeys right after the physical death and guide them in what to do and to where they should go if permission was granted of course from the spirit world). Co-host(Francis): Do you work alone or do you work with a team?
- Patrick: I work with a team but sometimes I'm forced to work alone. And over the years I realized that I'm better when I'm by myself.
- Host: Have you come across a demon a devil?
- Patrick: I work with my spirit guides and as long as i follow their guidance i have no problems because my guides know what i can and can't do and know my level of knowledge regarding these types of spirits and so they will not let me go to sites that have spirits that i can't handle. They'll block me and won't let me go there.
- Host: How does your investigations work, does take few days few weeks or is it just a night, do you take a lot of time when you come across a haunted site?
- Patrick: It depends, sometimes right away other times it take time and some cases they stay unsolved. We put them aside them come back to the again a second time.
- Host: You are able to get rid of a ghost if someone wants a ghost to leave you can make them leave?
- Patrick: It depends, most of the time i can. But you see there's a bit of psychology in that because in most cases the ghost is conscious. You have to know how to make them leave because a ghost like that in aware and have conscious that he is at his home and you just can throw somebody out like that you know. You have to know how to cause them to leave. Every case is different you see.
- Host: Do ghosts have emotions?
- Patrick: Yes they do, they are like us, the difference is that they have no physical body.
- Host: They had a physical body in the past right?
- Patrick: Yes they did also there's a difference in their thinking processes, they can't think like us or like when they had a physical body, their thinking is limited.
- Host: What is the oldest ghost you have come across so far, dated from which era?
- Patrick: The oldest one i cam across was a ghost from saint Gabriel, It's a restaurant in old Montreal. He belonged to the 1600-1650 from his cloth from the way he was dressed.
- Host: OK and what was this ghost doing, was he a cook?
- Patrick: He needed help and from the way he was dressed he gave me ideas where he came from. He was dressed something like a pirate dress. And the spiritual perception was very clear, clearer then what we see with the eyes.
- Host:"Captain Morgan" Alright, and if people have problems with ghosts they can communicate with you, to can ask for help from you, you take customers?
- Patrick: Yes can, this is what I've been doing for years. No problem, they are all welcome.
- Host: They can communicate with you how?
- Patrick:...Sometimes people are in other countries so they send me pictures of their house and through pictures I'll try to help them and see spiritually what is there by looking at pictures and try to communicate with the ghosts that are in there.
- Host: You can get rid of ghosts then through the internet?
- Patrick: Just by looking at pictures and adjusting myself to the frequencies of these photos.
- Host: This is a marvelous technology, we can say you are a modern ghost hunter?
- Patrick: We learn these things with time and experiences, It's life that teaches you these things, you can't learn it in any other way. More experiences and more knowledge and understanding you see.
- Host: Thank you very much Patrick Zakhm. We gonna wish you Happy Halloween and we tell our audience how they can communicate with you for your services by visiting Montreal Paranormal Investigations.
- Patrick: Thank you very much all and Happy Halloween.
Host: Happy Halloween Patrick Zakhm
- Patrick: Thank you very much Daniel.
- Host: The ghost hunter Patrick Zakhm was with us.

60)- What is the best technique used in ghost hunting?

"Ghost hunters usually study well the past of the location they are heading to investigate. From experience, the best way is not to do that at all. I only go with basic info and a map on how to get there. I would just walk and see what i pick up, that's how it is with me and that's how i work. I basically follow my intuitions and work with my spirit guides on where to go and where to head to once there. Something important that people should know is that we are all sensitives to a degree, we all come into this world with a vestige in spiritual perception and these are tools that you can use in ghost hunting. Another thing to mention is serenity of your mind while ghost hunting. The purer and quieter your mind is(not thinking of what you are doing)and calmer emotionally inside(not excited and all of what you are doing here or what you might catch)the more sensitive and receptive to your surroundings you become."~Patrick Zakhm~

59)- How to know if an entity is in an apartment, and if so what to do ? I'm not very good in English. My question is about my daughter. She is 22 and since she was born she have dreams who always tell the future. She moves in a new apartment and last night the furniture move in the apartment, the door of the toilet open and close, the ashtray skid on the kitchen table and she can't sleep, she feels uneasy and anxious. Her dog don't open a eye. I don't know why, but when she told me that, I fell a strange cold and have difficulty to breath. So I search on the Net because it was also my job and I find "Niet"Nothing interesting about how to react, what to do to confirm if a "ghost" is in the place and if so what to do. How to know if it's bad.Thank you.

"Well you have mentioned some of the activities encountered usually in a haunted location. These activities are caused most of the time by a ghost trying to attract attention or to show displeasure and scare people away. You see most ghosts are not aware they are no longer in the physical they are no longer alive. They live in their memories and think they are alive and well. Then all of a sudden they see strangers/intruders in their home doing what they please. So of course they're gonna be upset. Animals usually can give you an idea of the situation in there. If a dog or a cat or a rabbit or a bird doesn't seem to be bothered that mean it's still in the OK domain. Keep your eyes on your animals and see how they react. You can learn a lot if you can read their behavior."

"As for what to do? This is where you call in a sensitive paranormal investigator. Not much you can do yourself really. Each haunting is different so it's better to call in someone to help you out understand what is going on and why. In general Ghosts can see you and see your emotions and your thoughts. If you don't know who to call you can try talking to the ghost in the meantime in a way to calm them down and to explain the situation until you find a sensitive paranormal investigator. You have to talk from your heart thought and mean what you say for it to have an effect. After all ghosts are people like you and me so they understand if you know what to say to them and how you say that. But the most important thing of all is to know is what is going on exactly? And this is where a sensitive paranormal investigator excel in the most. It's like you are sick so you go to your family doctor. Your doctor cannot prescribe medication to you just like that unless of course he examines you and see what is going on first."

"People who have ghosts sometimes(in hope of getting rid of a ghost of course)create more problems then solutions because they do things they should not have done in their home. So it's better to let those who are experienced in this field to deal with what they have and not to try themselves fixing something they know nothing about."~Patrick Zakhm~

58)- I have lost my father some time ago and the thing is i keep thinking of him non stop. I can't stop thinking about him and how much i miss him. He was my father and my best friend. one thing i have heard over a few times and have trouble understanding. How is it that we have no control over spirits, when and where they appear, how is it that we have the unfortunate ability with our thoughts to keep those who have passed from moving on to where they are suppose to be going? It would be so much easier if they CAN make themselves appear someway or another and confirm and re-assure that they indeed are there and that there is a life after, and that they will be there when we get there. THIS would be so much easier on everyone on the planet. This would make the difference from the truth and wishful thinking wouldn't it? Patrick i want to thank you for taking your time to write me back and spend time explaining things to me. its much appreciated

"There's no simple answer to that but i will explain few things to you and hopefully these will bring you some light and help you understand. We have no control because spirits belong to another realm another plane of existence that has it's own laws and rules of existence that spirits are forced to follow just as we here are bound to follow the laws of the physical world. Spirits belong to the spirit world and people think of the spirit world as something far away from us distant and separate, where in fact it is not. Our existence, the physical world is based on the spirit world or spiritual world just like a house is built on a base or a car on a chassis, invisible to us but we know it's there it exist. Take the base of the house or the car chassis away and you have no house and no car. The same is with the spirit world."

"From what i have seen and experienced spiritually and naturally(close to 20 years in this field)is that we actually co-exist with many spiritual plane all at the same time but vibrating at different frequencies that we know nothing about or aware of because our physical senses and our brains are only made to comprehend and see and experience the physical world. These planes of existence resemble an onion or the layers/skins of an Onion if you like but each is on a different frequency. And each has it's own laws and their inhabitants are forced to follow just as we here are forced to follow the laws that govern our physical world. We know nothing about these worlds because we have no senses/tools/equipments to render them visible to our senses and of course we have no understanding on how they work. To be able to penetrate these planes we turn to the soul. The soul(everyone have one whether one believe in it or not makes no difference at all)our soul our essence, who we are, the part that never dies or touched by our physical death is not from this plane but from another. The soul if you like is like the driver of a car, the driver of our physical body. Emotions, feelings, thoughts are part of the soul and what we experience in our brain and body in activities and secretions and all that are just echos or just effects of the real thing just like the heat from a fire is an effect from the fire and not the fire itself. The soul has already it's spiritual organs since this is what she uses in it's world. Through proper meditations technics(not any type of meditations of course)one has to find the right meditations for himself first or he could hurt himself psychologically. And through particular way of living and attitude toward the world around him one can awaken or develop(all with the help of his spirit guides of course)spiritual organs of perception of the soul. Those interesting in developing spiritual abilities in perception usually run to a library and pick up all kind of books on meditations and start working on themselves thinking this is how it is done. Where in fact this is how a person can put himself in danger psychologically with a possibility of no return from that."

"In the physical world we are constantly bombarded at all time by all sorts of impressions coming from all around us. And all these have the effect to drown our soul, to pull it out from it's spiritual world and put it more into this world, the world of the senses. And this tend to increase the soul's attention more to what is coming through the physical senses and weakening it's attention and what it's coming through the spiritual senses. And this have an effect to put(so to speak)these subtil organs of the soul to sleep. Making the soul with that open with time mainly to the physical plane and almost blind to the spiritual one and what is coming through from it. But not everyone is like that, luckily. Many souls, many people have kept a weak connection to the spirit world and keep on receiving now and then information and guidance through intuitions, Gut feelings, unexplained impulses of going here or there without knowing why and to discover later that it helped us(or friends and loved ones)avoid all kind of life threatening situations. That's why i always say listen to your heart, listen to your intuitions, listen to these Gut feelings and impulses and don't try to understand them logically because you can't. Trying so only disturb and disrupt the information that is being relayed to you from higher realms."

"Now suppose one has worked on himself and found the right way spiritually and developed or awakened his abilities in spiritual perception and his conscious and understanding of life has expanded tremendously he will realize with time and experience that he cannot see anything spiritual of the spirit worlds if this world don't want/allow him to see. He will discover that these things cannot be willed to see them or controlled in anyway to get information from. A permission needs to be granted first otherwise he won't get nothing no matter how spiritually he has evolved. If you are not allowed to see then you won't see a thing. Just like a receiver or a radio set. The radio can pick up nothing if there was no broadcasting stations. The same it is here to the one who can see beyond the physical. So, the spirit world will show you what you are allowed to see and not what you want to see."

"As for thinking too much of someone who had passed away. Thinking like that can keep a soul close by chained to the thoughts and emotions that were created by the person behind the thinking, preventing the soul from moving on. But sometimes a soul of a departed person can come close on it's own to see a loved one still living in the physical world. If someone had died many years ago then all of a sudden you start thinking about him for no apparent reason, that means he is nearby and he can see you and hear you and feel your emotions and know what you are going through inside."

"Other souls get to be chained here for other reasons and this is what ghosts are. Ghosts are souls of people like you and me who have stayed behind because of the way they lived there lives here, this way have chained them to the phycial world, to physical objects they adored and loved. Anything physical object that a person used to adore or love can create a spiritual chain between the object and the soul and keep it here as a ghost. There are many other reasons that can create chaines and hold souls here as ghosts but this is the most common one, attachments to physical objects. Also, materialist way of living and thinking is another. To name a few, unfinished business is yet another, for example someone was working on a very important project and died before he ever finish it. The way one dies or the matter death was brought in is also another reason."

"Thoughts are a powerful thing, specially if there was emotions involved. Same emotions and thoughts merge and become greater and stronger. If you hear the news sometimes, there are cases where people loose it then go ballistics on innocent people killing many then taking their own lives at the end. What brought this condition is the state this person was in first, the state of anger. His state has pulled in many lost souls in similar emotionally state of anger as his(some are even much more then his)merging together with his and becoming a bomb of rage and anger. This blinding uncontrollable rage gets released on innocent civilians. Then at the end the person usually takes his own life afterward because he wakes up from this state and cannot understand why he did what he did and what was the reason for this craziness."

"Why spirits don't show themselves to everyone you ask? Because not everyone can handle that. Spirits show themselves to those who are able to see them and can handle their perception because you see from the location where these spirits are the view of what is coming up ahead lay in front of them. They can see way up ahead and in advance people's thoughts and their reaction afterward and how a person would react to a perception like that. And if they see any kind of danger or effect that could change the person in any way that is contrary to what his future is bringing him then they won't show themselves. And when they do show themselves there's a language that is used by them, language of symbolism and metaphors, similar to the dreams we have every night. The dreams we have every night are their creations, messages in symbols and metaphors, basically preparing the dreamer to what is heading his way in experiences and emotions."

"And just as there are spirits that wants to help men evolve spiritually, there are other types of spirits that wants the opposite, to stay in the materialist world. Materialism is one of their influence. They want people to stay blind in regard to the spirit world because the more people stay in the dark the stronger theses spirits influence become on these people afterward. They want people to think, to live, to feel materialistically so they can have full control over them after the physical death experience"

"In the past, ancient civilizations, our ancestors had much heightened spiritual consciousness and awareness and were able to see what most of us cannot today that lies behind the physical. And to these they called them Gods and created stories and legends that depicts them and phenomenons and events belongings to these realms because they were beyond the description of ordinary words. But today under the effect of materialism and science all that are just stories, imaginations and hallucinations."~Patrick Zakhm~

57)- What is a Ouija board and can anybody use one, is it safe?

"A Ouija board is a medium or a tool to communicate with the spirit plane using a little bit of your will and the rest is added by the spirit's will to move a pointer on letters of the alphabet and with that transmit a word or a message. This is a very dangerous tool to play with. People think it's just a toy but in reality it's anything but a toy and it's not something people wanna play with. The board itself is nothing and it's not dangerous the danger lies in what people concentrate their thoughts on, this is the dangerous part here. This concentration depending on how strong or intense it is can rupture the subtil invisible layer/s that separate the physical from the spiritual planes and let in all kind of spirits. Usually those spirits that come through are tricksters, they may sound nice and polite and know things and helpful but in reality they are not. This group concentration usually opens a portal somewhere near where the Ouija board was used and that's how spirits move in. Some ghosts can also move in or drop in like we have seen in previous investigations without being aware where they are and a house might become haunted all of a sudden, not because it was haunted but because of what moved in through this portal. Ounce a portal is open it cannot be closed easily. And what ever come through can follow you around no matter where you go. Many people reported seeing a black shadowy figure that appeared out of the blue right after using the Ouija board and could not get rid of this thing no matter what they did. Others reported seeing a short old hag around the house that seem to come in to drain the energies of some people. This is an energy scavenger spirit that live on people's energies making them feel weak and drained as long as they are in their house or where the portal is. And burning or destroying the board can make things worse."~Patrick Zakhm~

56)- I have an EMF meter and an EVP recorder, 1 camcorders with infra red light recording capabilities and 1 digital camera and a notebook with 2 webcams for recording and some infra red lights. Do i need anything else to start ghost hunting?

"These are just fine but one needs more then just tools to catch ghosts. Having the most sophisticated tools does not really give you more chances to catch anything. Usually the most interesting ghost shots have been caught when least expected and with a simple ordinary camera and no fancy equipments were nearby. Many ghosts have been caught by people who follow their intuitions gut feelings and the impulses that come to them to take pics of here or of there without thinking much of what they are doing. One just need to follow these impulses because they are guidance coming from higher realms.

"From experience the best gadgets is still us, we are the best instruments to pick up ghosts because it's our souls that is picking up all these info. We all have a soul and souls have spiritual organs (just like our physical bodies have senses)that let us see beyond the physical. What belongs to the souls world. When these organs are active or awake one can see phenomenons beyond the reach of the senses or thought understanding since these things cannot be understood through thinking or thought processes, only through experiences. But the thing to respect here the most is that when our spiritual organs are awake we cannot see without our spirit guides permissions. We all have many spirit guides all the time with us and we also get momentary visits from other guides in moment of difficulties inspiring us solutions. So if our guides allow us to see we will see, you cannot will it to see, it does not work like that, willing to see gives you erroneous info that may look true but they are not. Willing to see give green light to some types of entities that do not follow the laws of the universe to act and give you mainly false information with only few percents in correct info."

"The best tool to have is a good digital camera that can take burst shots WITH burst flash. Meaning that it can take several shots say 3 in a second but also causes the flash to fire 3 times as well at the same time. This way if there's something in front of you you'll see it in motion or get an idea about it's trajectory and give you a better understanding of what it could be or what it is doing. Because just a shot is not enough to tell if for instance an orb is an orb. You have to see it in motion. Another tool is an infrared camcorder, tape ones are better if you can still find tape camcorders, tape recorders are also better then digital recorders, they record everything, digital can miss things. Infra red light is good to have too. EMF meter is good to have too but it has to have a PEAK HOLD button, because when there's a ghost nearby the emf meter can shoot high up momentarily and then falls back down and so if you don't have the peak hold setting you won't see that you'll miss it. Also be careful cellphones and other radios can create magnetic surges, experiment with that a bit to see what i mean."

"These are the most important to have. The digital camera is one of the most important tool. Also sometimes when there's a ghost/s batteries suddenly die, used or new ones makes no difference. Like they become completely flat, empty all of a sudden and sometimes equipments stop working too or start acting up in a way you have not seen before. Ghosts appear sometimes as a very light mist invisible to the eyes but with the proper flash light they become visible. Ghosts sometimes affect the working components of some electronic equipments, this is just to keep in mind. And no matter how expensive a camera or an equipment is it makes no difference at all. Sometimes memory cards also gets wiped out."

"Also to remember, it's better to ghost hunt without expecting to catch anything. The less you think of what you are doing the better. And always follow your impulses to take a snap shot here or there. Just follow these vague impulses of taking pictures here or there and do not try to analyze or understand why. And listen to your feelings and gut feeling. A gut feeling is info and guidance coming from higher planes and last only for few seconds and other times few minutes but then it goes away. Also some of our spirit guides talk to us in feelings. But again do not think much of what i just said or suggested of doing, just take note of that. There are people who work hard to become a paranormal investigator and there are others who are born already paranormal detectives and ghost hunters by nature and have this particular attitude that is important in ghost hunting."

"For those who have a group, a very good idea when bringing your group to a supposedly haunted location is not to tell them anything in advance about what they are heading and what's there and fill their heads, just give them the basics in info and no details then see what those in your group pick up ounce there. This is what a good ghost hunting team in my opinion should do."~Patrick Zakhm~

55)- How would changing the interior of a house create paranormal activities from a ghost?

"Most ghosts are not aware of their physical death, one second they were in the physical plane then before that same second ends they are no longer. And they don't realize or notice that because of the characteristics of the plane they moved in after. It has a reflective inner experience quality. Meaning that memories of the physical plane gets recreated and become the ghosts's surroundings as if nothing had changed to them. Thoughts are realities in that plane you see. Now imagine someone attached spiritually to his home and land and dying at home and he's not aware of that, that he's no longer in the physical plane. Now because of his attachment his soul stays here attached to the house and now he's a ghost. To him all is well and nothing had changed. Time passes by, years, decades and so on and nothing changes to him since the passage of time is no longer felt, time ceases to exist."

"For example, let's suppose it was 1692 July the 5th at 6:30 pm when this person died, to him as a ghost now it's still exactly that the same date and nothing not a minute has passed. But then the house over the years gets new owners of course and that's when usually paranormal incidences starts occurring. The ghost can see the souls of the new owners and seeing their souls is similar to seeing these people in the physical. The physical body is an image of the soul, carved and molded and modeled by the soul to reflects it's inner traits, qualities, characteristics and so forth.

Now depending on the ghost and what's he's seeing, he can stay calm or become violent since the new owners are strangers in the ghost's house you see. Imagine yourself waking up one day and seeing a complete stranger eating in your kitchen, just like that out of the blue, what would you do? Of course there are many case scenarios that could occur as you can imagine. If the stranger in your house look OK and he's not doing anything wrong or damaging to the house your reaction to him would be different then if he's doing something to your house wouldn't it not?"

"Imagine that occurring to a ghost, his reaction can be anything, but usually it's kept under control and calm. But then what if the ghost talk to this guy in his kitchen and ask him who he is and what is he doing in the house and how did he get in, politely? Of course the intruder is not going to answer because he can't see nobody or hear anything. You see where I'm heading with that? Things can get violent because the stranger is not reacting to the owner talking to him and respect is not being shown or given to the ghost and this is his house(or that's what the ghost think anyways). Imagine if this stranger(new owner)starts changing the house? You've heard of Poltergeist right? That's what a poltergeist is, a ghost or ex owner very pissed and wanting people out of his house. Things can start moving and flying in the house to show displeasure, just as you would if you saw a stranger in your house and he's not answering you or responding to whatever you are saying, you start to throw things, make noises etc.just to get attention or to scare the intruder, to force him out. The ghost do the same. But how can a ghost who is not physical toss things or move things around you may ask? Well what we see in the physical plane all that we see is a manifestation of something higher."

"Everything that we see here have an essence, has it's own idea, it's own thought, like heat from a fire. The heat is not the fire, it's a by product of the fire. Move the fire you move the heat. This is a rough example but you get the idea. So ghosts can move physical things by moving the ideas or the essence of these physical things. But not all ghosts can do that, a ghost have to have a strong will or had a strong will when he was still in the physical world. The will is a force in the soul and can be used afterward after the physical death just as the will was used to move and control the physical body.

So in all and all paranormal activities that starts to occur in a haunted house is all because of a big misunderstanding between a ghost who still think he's still alive and well and living at his home and people who move in as tenants or owners then start changing the house as they please. This is basically one of the most common reasons why a ghost would react to people(strangers) in his house, there are also other reasons sometimes but they are rare."~Patrick Zakhm~

54)- Could you describe what you meant during the TV interview you had in Lebanon by "ghosts are like humans beings waiting to board a plane"?

"Ghosts are not like humans beings, they are people like you and me, that have not left the physical plane completely. They are stuck in between planes and they don't know it. They were suppose to go back to the spirit plane to where we all come from but they have not. And i used the airport example to give people an idea of their situation because these things can be understood better with examples."

"A ghost situation is like someone traveling to another country, he checks in and all then he goes to his gate and wait to board his plane. But he never do, he's at his gate and stays at that gate and doesn't realize that. He just sits and wait but sees no passage of time because where he is time stops, it ceases to exist, time does no longer exist. Imagine yourself sleeping in a closed lit room with no windows or watch, as long as you are still awake you have an idea of the time and date. But what if you take a nap then wake up later? Do you still know what time it is? No of course, you lost your contact with time. You know time has passed but you don't know how much and you didn't see it passing because the room you are in is still lit the same way it was lit before taking your nap. Now imagine taking several more naps? After waking up you now completely have no idea what time it is, you become completely lost in time. And that's what an unconscious ghost fall into sometimes".

"So a ghost, most ghosts situations resembles the airport example because they are suppose to go somewhere but they never do. Other ghosts situations(which are rare) are the condition of being aware they are no longer in the physical and knowing they have went through the physical death experience but they stay here because they are attached emotionally and spiritually to something(that can be any physical object) or somebody in the physical plane or still have important unfinished business. And that had chained their souls here. Other ghost situations are caused because of the material lives that have been led here and that had created materiel love and adoration which keeps them here because they know nothing else beside this. They are physically dead but their souls still linger here as ghosts."~Patrick Zakhm~

53)- You mention being honest or leading an honest life is important, how honesty is essential to make contact with ghosts?

"It's not essential to make contact, it's a very important part to evolve spiritually. Because you would be vibrating in harmony with the universe and your soul lights up and the more you light up the more you become visible to the spirit plane and more spirit guides will approach you and guide you, you become a beacon of light to the other side. And honesty is not the only thing that is important in order to open up to the spirit world and attract good spirit guides. This will help you also differentiate between the different types of souls and spirits. The genuine and the true from the ones that aren't that are here to pollute your perception and misguide you. Proper meditations is important also. Your behavior toward the world, people, animals, respect, unconditional compassion and love are all ingredients to develop properly and correctly the spiritual organs of perception of your soul. You can think of all these similar to the natural ingredients from vitamins in the soil to light from the sun and so on that a plants needs in order to create normal looking and beautiful flowers. Now remove one ingredient or two or more from the plant natural diet and necessary ingredients and you might still get some flowers but they will look deformed twisted and unhealthy.The same is needed for the soul, the proper ingredients are needed in order to develop properly the organs of perception of the soul."~Patrick Zakhm~

52)- I red about ghost signatures on your site, what are these exactly?

"It's not easy to describe in words but ghost signatures resembles if you like the spread of a perfume in a house with a the difference that it carries personal information on the ghosts. Let's suppose someone come to pay you a visit at home and this visitor had a particular perfume on him. This person stays a bit then leaves. Now what is left behind from him is his perfume correct? You gonna keep on smelling it for a bit of time. Now imagine you are able o see that perfume, see how it's spread out and where it is concentrated the most in your house? Is it where this person sat the most? Then you'll get an idea about what a ghost signature is and how it works. But here with the ghost signature it's the ghost's character, his nature and emotional state is what is spread out all over a haunted house and concentrated where the ghost appears or had appeared the most in the physical plane."

"And it's not a sensation or anything like some people think, it's outside of you in front of you present. And has nothing to do with you. It exist and it is found in all haunted sites. Spread out differently inside and around a haunted place with different degrees and intensity and where it is concentrated the most is where the ghost manifest in our physical plane the most, his favorite area if you like. Sometimes a sensitive can read or pick up personal information too connected to the ghost like his gender, age and emotional state of the ghost, conscious or unconscious of his physical death and other things too. Each haunting is different."~Patrick Zakhm~

51)- I know that this is not connected to ghosts but do you believe in the existence of aliens?

"Yes i do and this isn't based on a belief thing but from what I've seen so far. You see being able to feel, sense and sometimes seeing ghosts spiritually opens you up and awakens you to other things in our world as well as to what is beyond. In one incidence(among many)that i can share with you, i was meditating in a pitch black room like i usually do. And it seems that my meditation have put me spiritually in a state of consciousness that made me penetrate(if you like)the physical layer and put me in another plane of existence and brought me in front of something that was not fully human. This perception was extremely clear and in high definition, better then what a person see with a 20/20 vision. It seemed that i entered his realm uninvited and i had for some reason zoomed in close to this being's face. He was sitting down and awake and he seemed to be monitoring something as if there are screens in front of him and he was watching them similar to a security guard in a building watching the screens from security cameras in front of him. Then i zoomed out a bit away from him and then he turned to his right and did some pushing or twisting on whatever equipments that were in front of him and all of a sudden i was kicked out from his plane. This hideous thing looked like us(even though he wasn't pleasant to look at)with some differences, the head was like a human head a bit squarish and he had a dark green skin which was covered with scales, fish scales that is, these scales were actually more his skin then covering it. His eyes looked like ours with no pupils or lenses or color, just a big pitch black circles in the middle. The area around these black circles were dark also but much lighter."

"There are extra terrestrial beings from other galaxies and there are intra terrestrial beings that coexist with us at the same time but in another vibratory planes and some of these are the architects behind the scenes of some of the phenomenons and incidences that occurs in our physical world. These intra terrestrial beings seems to live in other planes that are beyond our physical sensory perceptions or understanding. These planes reassembles the different layers of an onion if you like but each layer or in this case each plane of existence is vibrating at a different existence frequency that are beyond our perception and awareness since our ordinary consciousness can only grasp the physical world."~Patrick Zakhm~

50)- As a writer and creator of a website about Montreal's paranormal activity, you are obviously interested in the subject, why is that? Did anything in particular spark your interest?

"I've always had a very perceptive nature even when i was a child, something of a natural detective if you like. I would notice things that others would miss and that made me question things. For example you are walking down the street you turn for no apparent reason and you look into the eyes at somebody in a building behind you staring at you from several stories up. I think everyone have had that experience at least ounce but not many have thought of it, what is going on? How did i know this or that person was staring at me? Or for instance out of the blue you start thinking of somebody you have not seen for a while then all of a sudden that same person calls you on the phone just like that. What is happening here? What made me think of that person in that particular time just before he called me?"

"As i grew older i started going through experiences much stranger then the ones given as examples above, then one day as i was visiting an ESP psychic Fair in Place Bonaventure(this is in around 1996)i was approached by a medium asking permission if she can come to me to give me a message. The Fair had an open area with chairs where psychics and mediums would visit and give free messages for people from the other side. So i accepted even though i was someone of a skeptic at first regarding these phenomenons. Then she started describing somebody coming through that i didn't know and told me personal things about him."

"I didn't believe any of that at first and i was only a listener but i took notes of what she said. Then later on i started asking around about a person that the medium described for me and what he used to do in life and so on. That person later on turned out to be my grandfather(mother side)who died before i was even born supposedly murdered in Africa at the hands of jealous shoemakers because he was a very good shoemaker and was giving shoes for free for people who could not afford buying shoes."

"That experience with the medium peaked my curiosity toward everything paranormal and made me wounder, how can a complete stranger who i haven't met before knew these detailed things? I was always interested and skeptic at the same time toward these things like psychics and mediums and ghosts but that experience made me more and more interested and intrigued. Then i started reading and meditating following a guidance that was coming through me and guiding me on how to meditate properly. Then with time i started getting visitations in my meditations at first from people who have passed away and who i didn't know but later discovering who they were."

"More and more similar experiences followed. Then little by little i started visiting supposedly haunted sites on my own making contact occasionally or sensing the ghost/s and that being confirmed later and with time i started picking up sites that are haunted from outside. Ghosts that are haunting building give off a particular signature from outside and that's what i started picking up."

"Every haunted house i came across gave a different signature and different intensity and sometimes information about the ghosts came through too. Since i had cameras with me where ever i go and pictures were compiling more and more i decided then to create a website and put on all these shots on with my experiences. From that small website i started getting emails from people asking ghost questions and experiencing haunting. Then i decided to move my small website to another server and that's where www.montrealparanormal.com was born, in 2001-2002. Then after that i created The Montreal Ghost Tracking Meetup Group after receiving more and more emails regarding ghosts and haunting."

"The following is one of the experiences i have had. One of the books I'm working on right now will have most of my experiences in it. Below is a description of what I've experienced one time:"

"This occurred several years ago during a meditation. I used to meditate sitting down with criss crossed legs in pitch darkness then one time as i was into that i all of a sudden saw somebody coming forward toward me. It was like something opened up and this gentleman started coming in my direction. The perception was extremely clear, clearer then what one can see with a 20/20 vision. I did not know who this person was. He was dressed in a priest cloth and he was holding an open book in his hands. Then he looked at me then looked at the book while passing left then right his index finger of his left hand over the pages/text. This priest would look at me while moving his index finger left and right as if reading or wanting me to read. He stayed a bit visible then he moved to the side and was no longer visible."

"Then as he moved out of sight somebody else came through but didn't come close, it stayed at a distance. It was two females standing in pure white light and they were a bit far from me. I could only see their silhouettes and feel they are women, one was a little girl and the other a very tall older woman. Then they both said "HEYYYYYY !!" or "HELLOOOO !!" something like that and felt as if they were waving to me. This is the thought and feeling that struck me. This is the only thing that came from them then few seconds later they were gone and i stopped seeing them. As i stopped seeing them something else deeper came forth or opened up to me as if i was going deeper in perception. The third perception was not human. In part it was something from the physical world and in the other part it was not human but a living being holding on to something physical. This perception lasted only a bit then it stopped. I then was back in my room. Through all these perceptions i wasn't aware that i was in my room, my body was but not my soul. It took me many years later to discover who these people were. The man in a priest cloth was an uncle of mine that died many years before i was born. The two females were cousins of mine that both died in freak accidents when i was young, each in a different accident. One from a drunken driver and the other from a sniper bullet in Lebanon bouncing off several walls before ending up in my cousin's throat killing her instantly as all of her blood gushed out in front of her father."

"There is a page on my site called "Strange Experiences" and on that page many other experiences that i have had are mentioned. Also on the "q'n'a" page there's a description of an experience i had in Lourdes, France not long ago. And during an interview on mlive.com i mentioned yet another experience that i had with my ghost tracking group members. Below are links to these pages:"~Patrick Zakhm~

49)- What was your goal when building the website?

"It was to share my experiences with people and make others who also have experienced similar experiences to come out and share theirs with everyone else as well. And to awaken people to the fact that we don't die with death, nobody does. What is made of the physical world only dies and nothing else. The essence, who we are, the "I", the soul does not die because it's not made from this world. I think if we all share our experiences among each other the world be understood and appreciated in a better way."~Patrick Zakhm~

48)- You have an abundant amount of information on your website, how you acquire information about new haunted areas?

"I have developed over time the ability to pick up signatures vibes of haunted buildings from outside like i have mentioned previously. Occasionally i also receive emails from people directing me to haunted building they have lived in before and where they saw ghostly apparitions and experienced paranormal activities."~Patrick Zakhm~

47)- Do you ever get nervous before visiting an area? What is your most frightening encounter(s) experienced? Any in Montreal?

"I don't remember being nervous before visiting a haunted area. I work with my spirit guides and so when i go into a haunted house i'm not alone spiritually. I have had ounce or twice experiences or encounters not to a degree to call it frightening but it had some degrees of fear in it. I have mentioned one here on www.mlive.com if you'd like to read about it, please check the link below:"~Patrick Zakhm~

46)- Any recommended areas for the daring Dawson students to visit this season?

"Sure, i suggest visiting :"

"Saint Gabriel's Inn in the Old Port Of Montreal. It's haunted by many ghosts belonging to different time periods, i saw two of these ghosts there. You need permission though to go through the Inn which is a restaurant now. The most famous ghost there is a little girl that died in the 1800 in a fire. Go in and ask permission to look around. Tell them you are interested in ghosts. The bartender when you go in on your right usually have ghost stories to share and knows me.

"- Prison Des Patriotes also have several ghosts, i saw one of them and a good friend of mine(Aurora)have caught a voice in EVP, the recording is on meetup Montreal Ghost Tracking Group page."

"- Chateau Ramsey also have several ghosts, ask those who work there and they'll tell you plenty of stories that visitors had experienced. To add to that the last time i was there i had an interesting experience myself too."

"When you go in and start your tour you pass through several rooms. And in one of these room as i got in and started taking pictures i felt all of a sudden the presence of a well dressed pretty woman not very pleased standing up in front of me(it seems that she was sitting down) then heading few meters away from me then sitting back down again. She seemed to be drowned in thoughts like she's swimming in her thoughts and like me i came in with this flashing thing(my camera)and disturbed her so she decided to move away. My camera takes burst mode shots with several flashes so for every burst shots you get 3 shots with 3 consecutive flashes in about a second or so. So if I'm taking a lot of burst mode in this setting you gonna see a lot of flash firings. And that might explain why she just stood up and walked away then sat back down again a bit farther. Similar to someone who pulls out a cigarette in front of you then lights it up then start smoking and you can't stand the smell of cigarettes you gonna stand up then walk away from this person and his smoke."

"- Mary queen Of The world cathedral on Rene Levesque and guy street have several ghosts, i came in contact with one of them.

"- Saint James Church on Saint Catherine street (near MC Gill subway station) also have several ghosts, i picked up one of them one time sitting up on the balcony. People have also reported seeing a couple sitting up there on the lower side of the balcony."

"- Le Caveau restaurant is haunted by several ghosts. One of these ghosts followed me one time as i was leaving the restaurant, a little boy with no face. I tried making contact with that ghost when i was inside but got nothing. It's only as i was leaving that showed up spiritually to me and followed me and stayed with me for around 15 minutes, then he was gone."

"- There's also the Westmount house. This place is extremely haunted by many ghosts. This place is by it's intense ghost vibes resembles a tiny prison cell full of prisoners. Visit the pages on that mansion on my site. Several ghosts were caught on cameras there from outside."

"- Also check out the "q'n'a" page linked below. In one question there's mention of several haunted buildings in Montreal:"~Patrick Zakhm~

45)- Can a sensitive paranormal investigator be a good crime detective?

"Absolutely. A paranormal investigator is actually a detective by nature. To understand what is going on in a haunted location a detective work needs to be done to try to understand the situation and what is happening or happened exactly. The sensitive paranormal investigator(or SPI)though can use his spiritual abilities in perception to his advantage and be far ahead of a crime detective. Visiting a crime scene a sensitive paranormal investigator can read the environment around and tap into the Akashic records to see what had happened here exactly, all of course with the help and permission of his spirit guides. Meaning that emotions all kind of emotions that a person experience leave a trace behind that a sensitive can see spiritually. For instance a violent crime has occurred the victim suffers horrible pain in silence and was tortured and then a body was found in a building. A SPI stepping in there will be able to see and read the emotions that occurred in there and where. By looking at a dead body he can tell you if it was murdered where it was found or displaced from another site, killed there then brought where it was found. Did the found body suffer? If it did or if it didn't this can be felt/read from the environment around the dead body too. A suspect get arrested and questioned and says no he's innocent and has nothing to do with this murder. Now if he's telling the truth or lying a SPI can pick up that from his voice because from the energies around the suspect and from the vibes in his voice he can tell you if the truth is coming out or only lies. Truth don't have a frontier but lies do. And when truth is coming out the whole body is expressing it but when just lies that are coming out the person's facial expressions are just cold and non existent, there's none actually."

An SPI work also with his spirit guides all the time and is shown sometimes vivid images of solutions and answers in metaphoric and symbolic language that needs proper translation first before gaining any info from them. Again a SPI has to have permission from his spirit guides to do most of that mentioned above because these guides can see all kind of dangers and difficulties far ahead of us in time and work to keep the SPI from harms way. And nothing can be forced out, if there's something that a senstive needs to know then his spirit guides will show it to him."~Patrick Zakhm~

44)- Going with your group for a ghost investigation, does this make things more interesting or maybe more fun?

"Going with several paranormal investigators can help brings in more spiritual information sometimes regarding a haunting then if you go without a group. You see, to make contact with a ghost he has to allow you to see him, so he chooses which person to make contact with. And so if there were several people with abilities in spiritual perception present then there are more chances of making contact then if you were by yourself. Sometimes things get very interesting because each person notice or pick up different things. Then at the end we put all these together to get a better picture of what is going on. It's like a puzzle thing you know and every person brings in a piece of the puzzle."~Patrick Zakhm~

43)- Is this type of work lonely and does it need a lot of reflection and symbol decoding?

"It's not really lonely when you know how these things work. And actually being lonely help you see more things then if you were with other people. And reflection and symbol and metaphor decoding is what this work is all about, specially if you are working with your spirit guides because their communications come to you most of the time in the form of symbols and metaphors. And you have to decipher them properly to understand the messages within."~Patrick Zakhm~

42)- Can death be seen or felt and maybe avoided before it occurs or hits a person?

"Death before it hits can only be felt when someone is about to die in a freak accident. People who die in freak accidents give off a very strange feeling of detachment or separation. When you look at someone about to die in this way he will feel to you out of place with his surrounding. You'll feel that he's no longer part of his surrounding and this particular feeling appears few seconds before this person gets hit, run over or squashed to death by something. And there ain't nothing anybody can do about that to stop it. What you can only do is to get away as far as you can from this individual because his time is about to come and you don't wanna be near him when this happen. Very rarely the death of a person usually very dear to the dreamer can be seen in a dream put into a metaphoric and symbolic experience. This brings to mind a sad story i have heard in the news a while ago about a girl(sorry don't remember her name) who escaped death in a Toronto rampage but then died in another horrible rampage in the states in a movie theater after an armed man went in and started shooting at people, killing many, one was that girl. In her first escape she described the feeling that came over her, she didn't call it death though but it was death. That strange feeling that came over her made her go outside in the right moment and saved her life. Somebody from the other side made her for some reason aware of that feeling that precedes death and got her out in the right time. But in the states because she was watching a preview of the new Batman movie coming out i think with all the noise and distractions from that she missed noticing that same feeling again that had saved her life previously. If she was outside or in a quiet area i think she would have felt that same feeling again and knew what to do and probably would have made her move away or get out or go away just like it did in the first time."~Patrick Zakhm~

41)- Do souls on the other side influence us in a way to hurt us?

"The dead actually do influence us consciously and help us in these through inspirations and other times they cause unconsciously problems to us. You hear in the news people loosing it and start shooting other people then at the end kill themselves because they wake up and see what they have done and so they loose the will to live and decide to punish themselves because they wake up from that state that pushed them to do what they did."

"The person who killed all these people had very angry souls that were stuck on him and were feeding his anger. These unconscious souls still angry from the way they have died or what happened prior to their death, So these souls get pulled in by people who are experiencing intense similar anger state in the physical world and boost their anger to a point where they loose control of themselves and release that on others. I have talked about that in my first book Haunted Places. Similar emotions attract similar emotions and merge together and the outcome is multiplied many time over. And what you end up is a bomb of anger that explodes on people."

"So there are souls out there filled with anger and rage that are floating around us(not in this plane but in another)that gets attracted to people that are in the same emotional type of situation they are in. If a lost angry soul sticks to you you might still have some control but if 2 or 3 that s it you lose control. And if a person pulls in souls in this condition and doesn't know what to do he will forcibly harm others. You remember the Chinese guy who killed a person on a greyhound bus about a year or 2 i think? I think it was in Alberta, he severed his head and blood was all over and when he was arrested he was asking the police to kill him to shoot him because he didn't know what was going on in him. After he was taken away and treated and given medications his energies and vibrations changed because of what they gave him. And when your vibration changes the influence of these lost souls full of rage stuck on you weakens tremendously but it doesn't go away. The souls that are still in an angry state are still there but are on another frequency. What one needs to do here is to send pure white light to these souls around him, just flood them with light and keep flooding them with light until they let go of you and you'll know when that happen because all the anger you had will just disappear."

"Some unconscious souls are real lost, like dead leaves in the wind. I have drawn some tiny figures on the back cover of my first book haunted places that reflects that. Small souls in the form of leaves flying in the wind. So it's important to know yourself well otherwise you wont know the difference between your anger and that of others lost souls. The attraction or the pulling of these unfortunate souls towards you peaks when you are having an argument with someone or angry or pissed at someone. So one should always be aware of that and keep things whether an argument or discussion under control because what they are sending in thoughts and emotions(specially violent ones)could be harmful to others and might even ignite a wave of rage in somebody else thousands of miles away. Distances makes no difference at all regarding the speed of transmitted thoughts and emotions because it's instantaneous."~Patrick Zakhm~
