Our personalities stay pretty much the same throughout our lives, from our early childhood years to after we’re over the hill, according to a new study.
The results show personality traits observed in children as young as first graders are a strong predictor of adult behavior.
“We remain recognizably the same person,” said study author Christopher Nave, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. “This speaks to the importance of understanding personality because it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts.”

Another possible justification for reincarnation I thought….
I’ve been waiting on some new software to arrive and have just installed it finally, so I hope to get a couple of new cases up that I’ll link to here asap.
We didn’t find Guys And Dolls to be haunted or active, despite that, it was a fun case, learning about the rich history of the building (lots of music history). The new owner has a done a great job of fixing it up as well (not that it was in bad shape, but he did quite a bit of remodeling inside).
We had a case in Newport and one in Elsmere recently, at private homes, both have some good EVP results that I can share via P.I.N.K.’s official site soon.
Thanks for stopping by, hope to be more active and get around to making some upgrades throughout the rest of this year.

If we find anything at the Nightclub, it will likely be similar to Sin City Antiques, where additional groups come and do the same (but I’m not positive about that). Even if we don’t have success, others will likely be invited or ask.
All I want to say is that it’s a historic building with a past as a gambling era club, and I’ll post anything we find and a recap afterwards. (no it’s not Bobby Mackey’s fyi)
Talked to Mike of PINK and apparently we’re getting a lot of requests/inquiries lately, so hopefully there will be more activity to report on soon.
We’ll be checking out a well-known club/restaurant early next week in Northern Kentucky, per the owner’s request.
I’ll also hopefully get a video clip from the Whispers Estate/Travel Channel filming we did soon, as well as some audio from the annual Waverly Hills extended outing (I was unable to attend this year).
Be back with updates to the web site and PINK’s site soon.
Allen Kardec is a famous 19th century Spiritualist, medium and scholar.
I wouldn’t have known about this book and author without reading Colin Wilson’s “Poltergeist” mentioned below.
This is essentially the Spiritualist’s Bible. It is a book of messages and information supposably taken directly from conversations with “highly evolved spirits” via various trusted mediums at the time (1850′s I believe). Colin Wilson was very impressed with the complex, but plausible and scientifically believeable messages in Kardec’s book. These folks spent an awful lot of time trying to communicate with the right spirits and simply performing seances, in order to record the information. Instead of asking them to do tricks and prove their existence like today’s “ghost hunters,” the mediums asked the right/smart questions and took advantage of their opportunities.
Kardec was meticulous and scholarly, serious and determined. The Spiritualist ideas and thoughts/philosophy do not exclude God and seem to incorporate ideas and tolerances from all the major known religions. It literally explains what happens when you die, and the after life. Of course who knows if any of it is true, but it’s always interesting to ponder, and wonder if these indeed are honest messages from the voices and shapes we record during cases.
I’ll follow-up once it arrives and I can start reading. The link above (picture) is to the “modern” English version (originally written in French) and is from the Kardec Foundation’s web site. It’s also cheaper than what you’ll find on Amazon, which is the older English version, and not as reader friendly.
Here’s a recent EVP I haven’t published anywhere, that I just put up on the PINK web site as well:
EVP From A Recent Case In Florence, KY: “Are They Down There” (excuse the muted audio editing before and after voice). We were all in the basement at the time (4 of us) and the door was closed, no one else was home or on this floor. I left my camera running on the dining room table while we were down there, to see if we’d catch anything. This male voice with a southern accent is definitely not anyone we recognize either. The home was quite active.
