Pt. 1:
Hello everyone!
I have been getting a lot of emails and private messages asking me to tell what happened to me, that made me stop investigating for a while. Here is what happened:
1st allow me to say that i believe The Burlington Hotel to be the most haunted place I have ever come across. As most of you know, my 1st time there i was disrespectful and crude... I later learned that you have to be respectful there or else bad things can and probably will happen to you or your team.
OK, here we go...
So my 3rd investigation of the Burlington Hotel started out with my buddy Jason and I arriving in Port Costa before everyone else. Jason and I went to the bar across the street to have a quick beer, while we wait for everyone.
The activity started immediately. Jason and I went to the mens room and we BOTH saw a figure with a black cloak. I came out of the bathroom and told him that i'd seen something. He said he had seen something too. So he explained in detail what he has seen, and it was exactly what I had seen! We hadn't even made it into the Burlington yet!
Tim calls me and asks me to get the key and to go to the Burlington and unlock some room doors and start getting as set up as we can get w/o the equip. So, Jason and I proceed to do this. Jason is very in tune with the paranormal and energy. He noted immediately that he sensed many different spirits as he did a walk through.
So the team gets there, we set up, and get the show on the road. Jason and I team up on the cam that isn't for the live feed. This works for us because we can try some stuff that was sort of different from what Livescifi usually does.
We experience everything from hearing women's voices, to seeing shadow figures, to having doors slam as we walk by them, and much more. This was by far the most active that the Burling ton (which is a very active place) has ever been. Jason and I try a technique of communicating (which I wont divulge right now)... It is very successful so we ask Tim to try it. Tim does and seems impressed by it. Then Leslie gives it a go, and while she is doing it, Tim feels a heaviness on his chest and RUNS out of the room.
Leslie and Tim decide to do the live feed ouija session and Jason, Donna, and Myself continue with our method of communication in an upstairs room.
Donna contacts a lot of people she had already gotten the names of and we compare it to these names on the back on an old Burlington photo, and they match!!! Huge score for Donna!
At the end of the night, Jason and I are tearing down on the 3rd floor.. I yell out for Tim and Donna because I noticed that ONLY 2 specific crystals on a chandelier were moving rapidly! Donna comes up and is surprised. She tells the spirits that we will come back again to hear their stories and for the spirits NOT to follow us home.
We all walk down to the control room and Donna says IMMEDIATELY "You guys picked up a demon with this ouija board!" She knew it right away and began cleansing it with sage.
As she cleanses it, I walk past her to get my cell phone and cigarettes. This part is key to the rest of the story.

Pt. 2:
I was at home 2 nights before we (as a team) were supposed to go to Wolfe Manor. I was incredibly excited because I had never been there and I had always wanted to investigate an insane asylum!
I was in the chat of the Q&A about the Burlington experiences, when I received a call on my cell phone from my ex-girlfriend. This is not someone who calls me a whole lot, so I picked up the call. When I answered I heard a muffled and growling voice on the other end. Puzzled by it, I hung up and called my ex-girlfriend back. She explained to me that she could not have called because she was at the gym, on the treadmill, and her phone was in her purse. I had her check her outgoing call log, and sure enough there was NO calls to me from her cell!!! As I find this out, I get a call from Jason. I answer the call waiting and it's not Jason! It's the same muffled and growling voice! I click back over to Mollie (the ex) and tell her about this. As I am telling her, I get a 3rd call from my sister Raina. I click over to answer Raina's call and I hear the SAME MUFFLED GROWLING VOICE! I hang up and go back to Mollie and tell her. By this time my ex-girlfriend is very shaken up, so we end our phone call. I, then, called my sister Raina and she said her cell was on the coffee table in front of her for an hour and that she hadn't called me either!
I am freaking out by this point, so I decide to go to Jason's house. In a panic drive, I call Jason and tell him that I am coming over. When I start to tell him WHY I am coming over I hear a loud bang and "OH GOD!!!" Then the phone disconnects. I start to call him back when I get a call from my mom. I answer the phone and don't hear anything. This is the conversation:
me: hello? who is this?
spirit: (in a very growling and sarcastic voice) i'm your mom!
me: no you're not! who is this?
spirit: i'm your mom!
me: no you're fucking not! who the fuck is this?!?!?
spirit: i'm your mom (repeats the sentence over and over, getting more and more quiet, until it is a whisper)
I hang up. I called Jason and he told me that he'd be waiting outside for me. He said that while I told him the story of what happened, his MUTED computer speakers turned UN-MUTE and he heard a voice speaking in latin coming from his speakers.
So I assure him that I will be there soon and hang up. I make a quick stop to get gas and call my mom. She assures me that she didn't call me. I get to Jason's house and I am traumatized! After the Q&A, Tim calls me. We have a chat about it and he tells me not to worry and about some of his personal experiences.
My dad prayed over my room (he was a pastor while i grew up and still preaches) and since then nothing has happened aside from me seeing the occasional weird flash or streak.
So my low key appearance at The Burlington Hotel on Tuesday (right?), was a huge step for me. It was my 1st investigation back and definitely returning to the scene of the crime. I thank everyone who has sent me good and healing thoughts/vibes/prayers!
Things I've learned since then:
1. The team picked up this spirit at The Stanley Hotel in CO.
2. There was a meteor shower the night that I got attacked.
3. I grew up religious and am now agnostic. This could be why I have been singled out. Also I wasn't protecting myself at that point.
4. You can come back from an experience like that if you just stay strong. It effected my sleep and my life, but not i am way better and back investigating.
So there you have it guys, thanks for taking the time to read this.

WOW Ron.. thank you for sharing your moving experience. it truly is a strange one at that, but i have no doubt in your honesty about it. it takes alot of guts to tell about something so personal. makes me wonder and only want to know more about the "after life".
please Ron, even if you are agnostic.. call out to a higher power or "white light" (alot of teams like to call it.. my leader does) for protection each and every time you go somewhere. i always say a prayer of that type before i go hunt, during the hunt, and after the hunt twice. i'm sure that is a learning for you..
sending out my spiritual healing powers to keep you safe! 😁

Thank you ron for sharing your experience I too have had something simular happen only it happened to my mom when we were messing with thing we should not have been messing with in a house we lived in back in the day..

Wow Ron. Thanks so much for sharing that experience. Has an experience like that effected the way you now investigate?
Wow. This turn of events really freaks me out. I'll tell you one thing...I'd get a new cell phone if I were you.
Hey Ron...i new something bad had happened to you, but omg, that is some pretty scary stuff...I feel for you and now totally understand why you took some time away...but now i give you much kudos for returning back to the Burlington Tues night, not sure i could do that...im so glad you have come back and took the time to tell us what had happened..sometimes writing it down helps to clense and get things out...the cell phone part is just so strange yet i believe this all did happen to you and hope who ever did follow you is truly now gone thanks to your dad...That is an amazing story Ron and thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of us. What also is weird is from Tims experience on Tues...i have had nothing but problem after problem with my computer and also on that evening when the power shut off at the burlington, it was shorty after i was kicked from chat and could not get back in at all..problems with puter ever since..
Hopefully this is a welcome back for you..and glad your okay Ron..thanks again

STAY STRONG DUDE!!!!
to answer your question:
yes it did change how i investigate. i am not so quick to provoke and i am just more respectful in general.
another thing about my story that is worth noting is:
i wanted to write it off as me being crazy or schizophrenic, however i inspected the outgoing call logs from each of the 4 phones that called me. i inspected them in front of their owners and showed my mom and sister etc. that i had calls from them but that there was no record of them calling me on THEIR outgoing call logs. so it definitely happened. i have witnesses. now i just need to sort out the why and the how.

To Tie into something I posted a while ago on provoking the spirts apprently in you case it hindered you and harmed you in a mental way.. I was curious as to wheather it would hinder or hurt an investagation, I never thought that question could also be posed on a personal level as well..It seems that if you provoke or do something that the spirt does not like its going to let you know in more ways than one..
Glad that you can now share with us Ron good luck on furture investagations...
wow, Ron, Thanxz for sharing. i dont know what i woulda done in ur situation. its awesome to have you back. Ur one tough guy for comin back. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for sharing Ron. I have been intrested in Demonology and been told by many people NOT to mess with it. It is some scary shit. You are very strong for going back to the Burlington. I believe as long as you take some protective measures before an investigation you will be safe.
Take care Ron, I will keep you in my prayers.

Thank you {{{{{Ron}}}}} I'm so happy your better now. I can sense how you felt the first time I met you in chat during the investigation.
I agree it is imperative that everyone be respectful and as far as I'm concerned. Religious or not a prayer of protection should be said naming the four Archangel's by name. For some this might sound funny or ridiculous but I know for a fact that it works. Archangels that must be mentioned by name are the Archangel Michael, Gabriel, Meriel and Rafael.
Your in my prayers Ron as are all the investigators and members of this board.
Wow Ron! That was some crazy stuff that happened to you! Glad everything is better for you now though!! 🙂
I again Ron am so sorry for what you went through. But because you have so graciously shared your story with us others will be able to learn from your experence. You may well pervent someone else from going through what you went through and teach others the right way to speck to spirits. They say when you fall off a horse you need to get right back on. But after what happened to you it took a whole lot to go on any more investigations, let alone that hotel again!!! I am so proud of you hun. Believe it or not, this will in the long run make you a stronger and better paranoramal investigator.
This is why people probably shouldn't mess with quija boards. Not only does it not look unprofessional, its dangerous.
