Part 2: I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost

I’ve attended Ghost Hunting 201 now and it put Ghost Hunting 101 to shame. GH201 left little to the imagination and threw all the terrifying details right in my face.
Even in the description, GH201 stated that the darker and dangerous side of investigating would be introduced. The honest truth is, my attention wasn’t lost for a second the whole time I was there. Nancy (Hawk) Horvath, a psychic medium and paranormal investigator, shared her personal experiences with us along with some audio clips and footage.
Hawk explained to us that she has been experiencing spirits, good and bad, since she was a little girl. She admitted that she also believed in angels and demons, telling us she had seen what she believes to be an angel when she was a child. She described it as a big ball of glowing light, almost ethereal. Hawk described the moment as not being long, but definitely touching.
Then she delved into the dark side of her job. Hawk has always been passive when it comes to investigating and never tries to provoke and anger spirits. So when she senses something dark in the area they’re in, and she quickly removes her team from the situation. She talked about a graveyard they went to, refusing to reveal the location, and after ten minutes, the team had to leave. She also refused to talk about the uneasiness she felt. Hawk said that several times she’s tried to go back there, but every single time they had to leave rather quickly.
The end of the night was spent watching video and reviewing audio taken during some investigations. The audio was the most chilling. Voices taken ranged from a small child saying “goodnight” to a deep gravelly voice saying “Nancy” menacingly. Some were sweet and playful, while others were hate-filled voices wanting them to leave.
Despite some of the more frightening things I witnessed secondhand during class, I’m excited to go on an overnight investigation. Catch an Ahlahasa in February to hear about GH301 when I investigate the Mantorville Opera house.
