Josh Heard Author, Lecturer, Paranormal Investigator-INTERVIEWED BY MARK ANTONY RAINES-GHOSTMAN
What initially inspired me was a paranormal experience a few days after my uncle passed away. I was around 12 years old when this all took place. Having had too much "family time," I was home alone. I was trying my best to cope with the loss of my uncle by myself. He was, after all very close to me and this was the first time I had truly dealt with losing a close family member. I remember walking through my house and being stopped abruptly by what could only be described as my uncle's cologne. It was a very distinct smelling cologne that I still to this day have yet to find out the name or brand of. I was frozen solid and every hair that my body had to offer was standing on point. I said his name, sensing he was close to me and the cold left me. My hair was back to normal and I could no longer smell his cologne. That was the experience that really got me thinking about the possibility of life after death. From that moment on, I devoured every book on ghosts and paranormal investigating that I could get my hands on.
My main goal or aim in this field is to present the facts and only facts. I try to bring the most credible evidence to the table and, with the evidence, try to put forth theory as to why some of these paranormal happening exist. In my mind, there is no doubt whatsoever that there is an afterlife. My only goal is to try and explain/ understand it.
The future is full of possibilities for me. We just completed filming for a paranormal documentary entitled "A Brush With Evil." It is set to be released in spring of 2015. This documentary retells my first book "When Ghost Hunting Goes Wrong: A Brush With Evil." In the film, the team and I show the audience the potential dangers of paranormal investigating. Things that you certainly won't see on television. The story itself, surrounds one location. A haunted chapel outside of Maryville, MO. A location where I have personally experienced more activity than anywhere else in my travels. Very dark stuff resides within the small, one room chapel and we have done our best to try and figure out who or what it is. The film itself will be terrifying BUT will bring with it an overall message of hope and overcoming obstacles. I cannot wait to share this film with everyone. We will be taking the film on tour in the spring and then releasing it online and on DVD as well. Many more books are in the works as well for me but, at this point, the film is top priority. To see the first trailer, go to YouTube and search for A Brush With Evil Trailer #1. I hope you enjoy it!!
Thanks so much for reaching out. If you have any more questions, I will be around!!

'Hitler' painting fetches $161,000 at Nuremberg auction
A watercolour thought to be painted by Adolf Hitler has sold at an auction in Germany for 130,000 euros (£103,000; $161,000).A private buyer from the Middle East, who wished to remain anonymous, bought the work, auction house Weidler said.
Experts generally consider Hitler's artworks to be of poor quality.
The auction was held in the central German town of Nuremberg.
The auction house said bidders from four continents had expressed an interest in the work.-READ MORE-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30160663

MPs back bill designed to limit NHS 'privatisation'-MAKE A STAND AGAINST.
A bill which aims to curb the private sector's role in the NHS has cleared its first parliamentary hurdle.
Under the bill, compulsory tendering for NHS contracts would end and NHS hospitals' income generated by private patients would be restricted.
Although MPs backed it in a vote by 241 to 18, as a private member's bill it has only a slim chance of becoming law.
The government insisted its priority was to ensure care was "delivered in the right way for patients".
Labour MP Clive Efford brought in the bill, which he said would "cut the heart out" of the coalition's reforms.
It would restore ultimate responsibility for the NHS to the health secretary, stop NHS hospitals earning up to 49% of their income from private patients, and would exempt the NHS from an EU-US trade treaty known as TTIP.
Critics fear TTIP could lead to American companies suing future governments for reversing privatisation.
Those who voted in favour of the bill included two Conservative and seven Lib Dem rebels.MAKE A STAND AGAINST THIS-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30137368
Comet landing: Organic molecules detected by Philae
Carbon-containing "organics" are the basis of life on Earth and may give clues to chemical ingredients delivered to our planet early in its history.
The compounds were picked up by a German-built instrument designed to "sniff" the comet's thin atmosphere.
Other analyses suggest the comet's surface is largely water-ice covered with a thin dust layer.
The European Space Agency (Esa) craft touched down on the Comet 67P on 12 November after a 10-year journey.
Dr Fred Goessmann, principal investigator on the Cosac instrument, which made the organics detection, confirmed the find to BBC News. But he added that the team was still trying to interpret the results.
It has not been disclosed which molecules have been found, or how complex they are.

There's a trade off - once it gets too hot, Philae will die as well. There is a sweet spot”
Prof Mark McCaughrean
Senior science adviser, Esa
But the results are likely to provide insights into the possible role of comets in contributing some of the chemical building blocks to the primordial mix from which life evolved on the early Earth.
Preliminary results from the Mupus instrument, which deployed a hammer to the comet after Philae's landing, suggest there is a layer of dust 10-20cm thick on the surface with very hard water-ice underneath.
The ice would be frozen solid at temperatures encountered in the outer Solar System - Mupus data suggest this layer has a tensile strength similar to sandstone.
"It's within a very broad spectrum of ice models. It was harder than expected at that location, but it's still within bounds," said Prof Mark McCaughrean, senior science adviser to Esa, told BBC News.
"People will be playing with [mathematical] models of pure water-ice mixed with certain amount of dust."-READ MORE-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30097648
Sun's magnetic field boosts lightning strikes across the UK
The number of lightning strikes across the UK has been significantly affected by solar activity, according to new research.
Scientists say the Sun's magnetic field is bending the Earth's own field, increasing our exposure to cosmic rays.
These rays are believed to increase the number of thunderclouds and trigger lightning bolts in some locations.
Over five years, the UK experienced 50% more strikes when the Earth's magnetic field was affected by the Sun.
Fields of influence
The manner is which lightning bolts are triggered has long puzzled scientists as the air is known to be a good insulator of electricity.
Something else needs to come into play to conduct the electrical charges built up in thunder clouds down to the ground.
Since the 1990s, researchers have speculated that the magnetic activity of the Sun could be linked to lightning on Earth.
Current theories hold that high energy particles called galactic cosmic rays provide the necessary link that lets the current flow into a lightning bolt.
This latest work suggests that the orientation of the Sun's magnetic field is playing a significant role in the number of strikes.
The researchers believe the field is like a bar magnet, so as our star spins around sometimes the field points towards the Earth and sometimes away.
"What we found was there is significantly more lightning in the UK when the field is pointing towards the Sun than when its pointing away which was surprising," said Dr Matt Owens from the University of Reading, the lead author on the study.
"What we think is happening is that the Sun's magnetic field is pulling or pushing on the Earth's field and that's letting energetic charged particles down into the atmosphere at different locations and the idea is that these actually trigger lightning."
"For lightning, you need a thin conducting channel like a wire, and galactic cosmic http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30103561rays can provide this thin column of ionisation in the atmosphere."READ MORE-
