Paranormal Information | Patricia Yates
Exploring ghosts, legends, and unexplained encounters.
Welcome to my Paranormal Journal, where you’ll find background information on ghosts, spirits, and elusive creatures. Whether you’re simply curious or already a believer, there’s always something mysterious waiting to be explored.
Many of the legends, spirits, and strange creatures described here have found their way into my books, where ordinary people sometimes find themselves face to face with the unexplained.
If you enjoy stories where everyday lives collide with extraordinary events, I invite you to explore my paranormal adventures—where strange encounters are only the beginning.
Hunting
An electromagnetic field detector is used by electricians to locate electromagnetic radiation. Ghost hunters believe that spirits emit electromagnetic radiation and use this tool to hung ghosts. Surprisingly, strong fields of electric energy can lead to hallucinations, including ghost sightings.
Spirits
Spirit, unlike ghosts, have completely passed into the afterlife. Many believe the difference between a living person and a spirit is that the living are on earth and the spirit is in a paralleled universe. It is believed that spirit often leave signs of their presence, and if ignored, will come to a person in a dream.
For hundreds of years people have tried to communicate with spirits. There are websites selling equipment worldwide for detecting a spirit or ghost. A Spirit Box sells for around $500. The box is used to pick up verbal communications of spirits. They are designed from handheld radios; the part that stops when you hit a particular frequency is disabled. The radio will continually jump from one station to another, often bouncing through one frequency after another in under a few second.
Ghost Signs
Signs that you may have a ghost in your home: the room gets cold, doors open on their own, whispering, creaking stairs, pets behaving strangely, strange smells, and electronic devices turning off or on on their own.
Ghosts
Ghosts have passed to the afterlife due to a violent death or tragic passing, but do not completely go into afterlife. Their soul are partially earthbound and they may interaction with living people. Some are known to cause mischief like shutting and opening doors, ringing doorbells, knocking noises, and other out of the ordinary occurrences that are unexplainable.
It is thought that the instant a person passes away the spirit, memories, personality, the essences of the person escapes the body and continue to live on. Ghosts stay in a particular place, like the house where they died, because of a compelling reason such as an lingering need to be in the physical world.
Sasquaches
Sasquatch, a large, hairy, human like creature may live in the northwestern United States and western Canada. The name “Sasquatch” derives from the Salish word se’sxac, which means “wild men.”
The creature is also called Bigfoot. Photos and videos (notably by Roger Patterson at Bluff Creek, California, in 1967) have added to the legend, though none of the purported evidence has been verified. There have many recording of howling noises by Sasquatches and sightings.
Haunted Theatre

Where: Coos Bay
What: The Coos Bay theatre is reportedly haunted by the ghost of an elderly woman. She has been seen in the lower stage area and in the auditorium balcony seats. I need to reasearch and find out why she is haunting the threatre. Email me if you know.
