Commonwealth Paranormal, a new group of paranormal investigators, recently emerged in Eastern and Central Kentucky. And, they are already are getting requests from people all across the region allegedly experiencing paranormal activity in their homes and businesses. “The response has been overwhelming” says Co-Founder Joe Clark of Salyersville. “We have been an official group now for just a short time, and we have already received several cases, ranging from private residences to businesses.”

Although the group Commonwealth Paranormal is new, it’s members are no strangers to the paranormal field. Co-Founders Chris Dedman, Joe Clark, and Eric Willis, along with several other members of the group were previously members of an area TAPS family group. TAPS, short for The Atlantic Paranormal Society, is a paranormal group that is featured on the Sci-Fi Channel series “Ghost Hunters“. They have affiliate groups around the world. In fact, Dedman and Clark were in leadership positions with the affiliate group before resigning to pursue Commonwealth Paranormal.

“I’ve been involved in paranormal investigations for six years now, and I love it more today than ever”, says Clark. “There is no greater feeling in the world than the feeling you receive after you have helped a client through what is often times a frightening or terrifying experience.”

According to Co-Founder Chris Dedman of Louisville, eighty percent of all alleged paranormal activity can be attributed to natural causes. “We investigate using scientific methods, and most of the time, we are able to debunk the activity. However there are times you can’t. And it is then, when you rule out all the possibilities, that you can declare the activity as being “paranormal.”

Both Clark and Dedman have had their share of encounters with the paranormal...

I take everything that relates to celebrities with a grain of salt, but here are some interesting words from a Dr. Walter Semkiw, a physician working at Kaiser-Permanente in San Francisco who is the author of two books: “Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation” and “Soul Groups United and Born Again: Reincarnation Cases Involving International Celebrities.”

O my, Oprah was a man in a past lifetime? Who? You vote.

OUR HEALTH: Doctor who believes in reincarnation says gender, race, religion change over lifetimes.

You are not who you think you are.

You are really someone else. Someone who lived before your birth.

You are reincarnated.

This is the message of Dr. Walter Semkiw, a board-certified physician working at Kaiser-Permanente in San Francisco. Semkiw also is the author of two books: “Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation” and “Soul Groups United and Born Again: Reincarnation Cases Involving International Celebrities.”

Semkiw insists research proves from lifetime to lifetime, facial features, personality traits, passions aptitudes and linguistic writing style remain consistent.

Q.You firmly believe we are all reincarnated?

A.Absolutely. The range of cases proves that.

Q.And you were?

A.John Adams. I was told I was John Adams in a session with a medium in 1948 but I didn’t believe it at all. I completed medical training, got married and moved to Southern California. Then in 1996 this voice – like a megaphone – told me to study the lifetime of Adams. It was powerful enough. I realized some of the photos look exactly like me and we have the same personality traits. That’s how I got into the reincarnation field.

Q.You have researched an impressive array of clients – particularly children who seem to remember details of past lives.

A. I believe the most impressive is Barbro Karlen, who has had memories since childhood of being Holocaust victim Anne Frank. Even the current president of the Anne Frank Foundation who knew Anne Frank when she was alive believes Barbro is the reincarnation.

Q.What’s so important about the Barbro-Anne Frank story?

A. It demonstrates that religion can change from lifetime to lifetime. Anne Frank was born a Jew and Barbro is a Christian. The observation that souls can change religion, race, ethnicity and gender has great societal implications.

There is a transformative effect that can happen in society. We can prevent future events like the Holocaust or 9/11 and that’s what makes me passionate about reincarnation research.

Q.What’s interesting to me is that people seem to have the same facial features from lifetime to lifetime.

A. Yes, although gender and race can change. Oprah Winfrey was a man.

Siberia, RUSSIA (ABC News)

“Two white robed men were standing there among them and said, ‘Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring the sky? Jesus has gone away to heaven. And some day, just as He went, He will return!'” — New Testament, Acts 1:10-11

Deep in the heart of Siberia’s birch forests lies one of the largest and most remote religious communes of the planet. More than 5,000 people have left their families and their homes to move here and join the Church of the Last Testament, which has more than 10,000 followers worldwide. The church centers on one man. He is known simply as Vissarion, meaning “he who gives new life,” or simply as the teacher, and he claims that he is Jesus Christ.

I had heard about a self-proclaimed messiah in Siberia and I decided to try to find him myself. Getting to Vissarion’s commune is not easy. From Moscow, the Russian capital, it is more than 2,000 miles and four time zones away. One begins by flying to Abakan, a bleak city near the Mongolian border, dotted with crumbling tsarist buildings and Soviet-style blocks. Driving through, I decided to ask residents whether they had heard of Vissarion and what they thought of him. Most people knew who he was, but they didn’t seem to like him much…
