Digital Dowsing has stopped making the Ovilus.  How disappointing!  I was hoping to get one.  Hopefully, they will make them again one day…
You can keep checking DigitalDowsing.com for updates.
It looks like they may be coming up with something new.  Check this out.

So there’s this new ghost hunting gadget that people are using. It was developed by Digital Dowsing and it’s called the Ovilus I.  The concept is that the device is able to create speech and phonetic speech from the immediate environment. It basically converts the electromagnetic vibes into words – that’s my best scientific explanation. I know what it’s supposed to do, but I’m not really sure how it does it.
The concept is fascinating – thinking that you could actually have an entity communicate with you by words coming from …

This is a photo that I took at Al Capone’s cell.  I’m not sure where the red streaks in the photo came from.  It may just be an issue with the lighting or the camera.  But who knows for sure….
 
 
For years there have been reports of mysterious happenings on Alcatraz Island.  These reports come from visitors, former guards, former prisoners, and national park service employees.  From the original lighthouse reappearing on occasion to clanging, screaming, and sobbing, there are too many tales to put into this short article. It would …

A few of my family members and I went ghosthunting at the Pensacola Lighthouse recently.  We were guided by the Ghost Seekers of Texas, a ghosthunting group from San Antonio. 
We got to go through nearly the entire place (except for the tower itself) and used a variety of tools to see if we could capture anything paranormal.  Our group didn’t capture anything on video or digital recorder, but we did get some fluctuations on our EMF detector down in the basement as we were asking questions.
Some of the other encounters included an EVP saying …

On October 17, 1804, a plantation owner on St. Simons Island, Georgia, deeded four acres of his land at the south end of the island for one dollar to the Federal government for the construction of a lighthouse. The first lighthouse and a one-story frame residence were built in 1810 at a cost of $13,775. The lighthouse tower stood 85 feet high and was in the shape of an octagonal pyramid. It was 25 feet in diameter at the base and gradually narrowed to 10 feet in diameter at the …

The St. Augustine Lighthouse sits on the north end of Anastasia Island in St. Augustine, Florida. The current tower, which was built in 1874, rises to 165 feet above sea level. The original lighthouse, built in 1824, was approximately 500 yards northeast of the current lighthouse. Due to the receding shoreline, it fell into the ocean back in 1880.
Throughout its early history, the lighthouse employed up to three lightkeepers at a time. There was a head keeper and two assistants. In 1955, when the lighthouse was automated, there was no …

Way up in the northeastern corner of the U.S, perched high on its own little barren island made of rock, sits Sequin Island Lighthouse. This lighthouse, located at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Georgetown, Maine, is the second lighthouse that was ever built in Maine and is one of the oldest in the U.S. The little island of rock, located in an area that is frequently shrouded in fog — an average of 2,734 hours of fog every year — and hammered with cold, high winds, seemed almost …
