Ever sense there very first broadcast iv'e been a livescifi fan. I really love webcams. Not the perv kind. Just the ones that let you see the world "Live". Like earthcam.com. I think its the coolest thing in the world to be able to go anywhere i want and escape the daily grind with just a click of the mouse.
The second thing i really love is Ghost Hunting and ghost stories. So when livescifi sent me an e-mail inviting me to join them on their very first show, I have to tell you i was very excited and couldn't wait to watch. The joining of my two favorite passions is just increadible. And livescifi from the very first broadcast has only conducted themselfs very professional and have taken ghost hunting very seriously. Sure they have a little fun too, (like trips to Jack'n Box) etc... But i have to tell you im very impressed, and have never been let down yet. Each show just keeps getting better and better. Always trying new things and improving the stream, live cotinues to blow me away. I guess thats why i feel it's my job to get the word out about them. You might see my name pop up in places like the Taps website telling the world about livescifi and try to get other paranormal groups to do live investigations.
I just wanted to thank Tim, Jay and all the team for providing we the ghost junkies a place to go and experience live investigations. You really make it feel like we are all part of the team. And letting us interact with you while your hunting ,via text and chat room is very cool.
My only question i have is why aren't other paranormal groups streaming live? Money? Technology? I have posted this question before and have never got a serious reply.
Again Thanks Livescifi and keep up the Great job!
Your No.1 fan

And you are the one who led me here via a link on the TAPS forum.
Thank you, forever.
Great group, fun people, good people, and honest. What more could you ask?
As for streaming, first of all, I have barely a clue on how to do it. Secondly, money is, indeed, an issue for me. I'm a single mom, I don't make much where I work, and of course my bills come first. So I'm very limited on what I can do with this. I'm working towards putting back the money to get the equipment I'd need, but it'll be sometimes this coming spring or summer before I will be able to have any sort of CCTV type equipment to use.
Since most people that I know of are doing this on the side, as a hobby not to make money, I suspect it's the same. Money for the equipment, money for the web access, etc.
heya spooked_1!
the team i belong to, (Vancouver Paranormal) , runs solely on a membership fee once a year, and whatever donations we receive or kick in ourselves (sometimes fans or those who call us, kick in funding for gas when we travel out of the city, or get called to do special talks at public functions etc.) we take those funds and buy equipment (cams, power cables, cam batteries etc etc). we never ask for any fees from anyone who wants us to come investigate or appear at public functions. we rely mainly on our own funds. often, come Xmas, some of us get bonus $$ from our daily jobs.. so we kick in some extra. alas, there is a high attrition rate in the group (some want action every outing, that's simply not going to happen. others want just to see how it's done, and then go off on their own. then there's personality clashes, or someone breaks protocol & we take that seriously.). so it's come and go. therefore, it's not always easy to raise what we need to make things happen. we've been wanting to get a 1/2hr show on local tv, but alas, that's a chore. so much involved. besides the fact that often tv demands we put some fake story line of arguments amongst team members and such to make it interesting, as we don't catch activity on every investigation. fake? not our thing!
live streams, i'm sure are not cheap, nor easy to set up. alot is involved.. remember the headache the lads were having with a particular site i won't mention? it's something alot of teams simply can't afford, nor find time to put together. it's a demanding job to do all of what our lads do!
Livescifi definitely has it going on. i'm sure the lads spend quite a bit of their own funds and time.. but i can't speak for them. can't be easy!
i agree that Livescifi is a truly gem of a find! i was minding my own business on myspace, updating my site with info about me being a paranormal investigator.. and poof! i get this invite from Livescifi to check out their space and link to this site! so who could ignore that? not i! i've been here ever since (Aug'07). yes, i've missed a few of their investigations as i was out with my team, or at football games i am committed to.. but i was hooked from the first visit. and yup, i even ask family not to book any functions when Livescifi has a stream going! haha! besides, it was an added bonus to find true fans to chat with. Livescifi is not only fun, but interesting, informative, professional, truthful, always trying to find an answer for what they see/hear/suspect.. absolutely done the way i think a team should work. always growing, maturing, learning, sharing and being professional with a fun element. i am very fortunate to be here..and to be able to share their experiences with everyone. how sweet is that? in my world, it's the grooviest!
so my hat is off to Livescifi, their team of investigators and guests, and to all fans who are here to learn, experience, share and enjoy it together in chat.

wow..nice topic
i myself would like to thank justin tv as i was on their site since the beginning of justins lifecasting, soon after 2 months they rolled out the platform and started to introduce to us new channels. At the time of the rolling out of the new channels my brother was killed thru electrocution and i found it not too easy to deal with he was my only brother, i became unhappy and had no real way to deal with danny being gone, no one in my family wanted to really talk about it, then justin came on air and before long new channels, one being livescifi..i hoped in right away not knowing what it was even about...i had experienced tapping 3 times to the back of my neck when i had bad nights..the tapping enabled me to sleep well..i had no idea why..then i was told it may have been my brother, also i have had experiences 3 times living in my ex-boyfriends house, where i woke up during the night, and could not move nor speak however i could see a man around 40 of age and long dark hair wearing jeans, on three occasions he attempted to electrocute me thru different means, it was very disturbing to me and two years before my brother was electrocuted, then also one time i was woken up my some type of what i would call an evil spirt/demon who forced himself i felt on me, i felt nothing but a heavy pressure pushing me into the bed and i could not breath, and a hard pressure to my chest..i felt violated, and also felt it was real , but have proof to say it really happened or not
so Livescifi came into the pic..i watched every show 3 times a week for a few months, and also a moderator for them, i wanted to feel, see, walk in their shoes to understand if spirits, ghosts or if anything could explain what i have gone thru..i found myself addicted to livescifi could not wait for the next show i love tim jay donna noreen and the gang, and with their help feel that something really is out there that is paranormal..
A huge thanks to Livescifi for allowing us to watch, chat and enjoy and get scared and think....your all awesome in my eyes
from justin tv. livescifi moved to ustream and there i met a whole new group of chatter/viewers and was welcomed in like i was family, and to all of you thank you..and to the friends who followed over from justin tv odd, ryhno, goose, flap and gang thanks for making my life a whole lot better and taking my mind off of my brothers death....you all are truly the best... 🙂 anyhow this is getting long, main point is livescifi and you all got me thru a hard hard period in my life..

I just want to thank everyone for making this a great community, and thanks again guys for the kind words. One of the things that I love is how whether we all come from different places ( geographically, faiths, personalites), we all support each other and value each others input, which is great because I think it is the only way that our field will grow.
Just the other day Jay and I had a funny the conversation regarding livescifi and our first broadcasts; for anyone that remembers our any of our first broadcasts they were very tough to do, and im sure very painful to watch.lol..But like all good things they take time to develop, and all of you whether you guys have been on the site for a day or a year are part of the livescifi family. Heres to you guys!
I have been hooked ever since someone via the TAPS forums had you guys on their myspace page. I love watching every time I get an invite sometimes I forget sorry but most of the times I remember and I love watching and interacting with you guys great site and I am sure I am going to love posting in the forums cant wait for the next hunt guys.
Ya know, I so love Tim and Livescifi that I really am serious when I say I would love to have TRAX listed as the first member of an extended Livescifi family! Talk about awesome,,,,,, 😉
And I am hoping to eventually have material that Tim can use to stream, maybe giving himself and his group a break from constant investigations....no matter how much you love something, it can be easy to get so wrapped up in it that other areas of yer life get lost in the mix and you wind up getting burned out. I truly don't wanna see that happen, and we all need to remember that Tim has an absolutely GAWGEOUS better half that needs his attention, too? LOL! hugs, adorable! 😁
So once I can drag the info out of him that I need,hehehehe, I and my group of intrepid gung-ho ghost hunters might be able to stream our investigations, too, giving him a break and giving all you guys a real hoot when you listen to my abominable southern accent trying to get the ghosties to show themselves! hehehehe! Hey, if I'm good for nuttin' else, I'm good fer a laugh! 😁
LOVE you guys tons and tons, big hugs to ya!
