After reading what John from Dangers of the paranormal had written , I decided to post the final closure from a recent casefile that I have considered a success !!
All information in regard to location and clients have been removed for confidentiallity reasons, but this is something that needs to be told !
I spoke with the home owner this afternoon for the first time since the final investigation and he has verified that there has been no more activity experienced since our last visit which in…

"Lourdes , I wanted to say Thank You for your comment and insight, It is good to know that I am not the only one who is seeing what is going on ! I was devistated when the .......... dropped me after months of hard work promoting them and their cause, only to find out it was for a ...Team?? that had NEVER been associated with them or the website, but did help the Media Elitists more money, so I guess thats what I get for thinking we are all in this TOGETHER ! lol"
I can say that there's nothing wrong with money, only the way is manipulated, especially in the paranormal field. For example, I'm sure you already know that besides being the President of PASC, I'm also the VP of Production Design for PAS Media, Inc. (PMI), a TV & Feature Film production company (not related to PASC at all). At this moment, we have several paranormal TV shows on the work and 2 supernatural feature films, Secrets Kept and Rest in Peace - the first one already in pre-production. Well, we have already in our staff over 25 and counting and always remember Bill's slogan at all times. We give opportunities to everyone. In this corporation Bill and I work as hard as anyone else and do whatever necessary to make things happen. If that means to do something dedicated only to an assistant producer or an intern, we'll do it! Why? Because it makes our staff realize that we actually walk our walk and talk our talk and we're not BS! That we're doing this for money? Absolutely! However, our intentions are to make every one of us reach the top and not only Bill and I... that's my point.
Now, I have to mention that some of the PASC's members have become 'money-hungry' and now that they see PMI growing NOW they want to be a part of it... They've been told that PASC and PMI are not related at all and PMI is Bill Metz' business so that he could quit his day-job... Well, let me tell you something, at one point we met with one of PASC's members for his knowledge in technical issues and decided that he would be great to hire for PMI as a staff member, so, we decided to talk to him. In the meeting Bill mentioned that he would get, according to the standard salary in the film industry, X amount of money (I'm talking about thousands a week during shooting time!!!). He agreed at that time. However, the following day he sent us an email DEMANDING that we would add him as a partner because he realized the potential in $$$$... So, here was another money-hungry individual who thought that after Bill and I and other 4 have invested money and time since the end of 2007, after completing the development of some feature films, etc. he would come and demand. Hah! He never once since the end of 2007 came to Bill and ask, "What can I do to help?"... he only watched us from far and never said anything, knowing what we were doing. Well, Bill responded to him, "Absolutely NO!"... he then resigned from PASC and wanted to sever our friendship (well, we thought he was our friend besides being a PASC member). So, you see? He lost the opportunity to make more than $10,000 a month because he became greedy and wanted to have the cake and eat it too! Now, he doesn't have anything.
So, yes we are fair but also firm and we will not let anyone come and take over what we've worked so hard for almost a year just because.
I can tell you now that you can test your friends by showing them the $ GREEN $... if they behave like this guy I just mentioned above, then they were never your friends... and that's how we've realized who are our friends... it's sad but that's also reality.
Take care,

In reference what you commented me before:
"Lourdes, I dont know if you and your team would be interested, but I have recently had some "Issues" that needs to be brought to the the attention of Everyone that consider themselves as a Professional,Scientific,Ethical team, regardless of their experience !
The community NEEDS to be aware of the Politics and realize that there are still some of us that are in this for the right reasons, and I think you and your group have the perfect resources available to promote that !
You can contact me at ltcochran@plantcityparanormal.com if you would like to know more !"
Unfortunately and maybe fortunately, I always go back to my roots and what Bill Metz always says: "Never Forget Where You Came From."
Saying that, I know that I already responded to you, however I need to add some more here...
Now-a-days and fortunately, not everyone nor every single paranormal group, wants to be famous without caring, for they began working on this field in the first place: The Clients. Some have forgotten how to help the paranormal community. If you travel around myspace and other places you'll notice that some care more about fashion and how they look than anything else. Others will sell to the devil for money, and the minority keeps struggling with some survival and being put down by those with BIG egos and arrogants who believe that they are better than anyone else. NONSENSE!!!! No one is better than anyone else... we all bleed the same way and if opened, we're the same also. So, why the war and ego? Maybe there are too many hands in the cookie jar... too many chiefs and not enough indians. Others too worried about fame and fortune and their pocketbooks... Trust me, there's nothing wrong with money, is only that some out there, once they hit big they completely forget that at one point in their lives they were down and they ALWAYS forget to bring the elevator down for others to USE IT!!!! They will step on you... they will make your life miserable... such a nonsense for the life we have on this earth - the current one - we should all help each other and reach the top of the mountain with the others hand in hand, not just only one individual pounding his chest with his hands and proclaming victory on his own.
One thing that I've learned is that no one is alone... we all depend on each other... we are interdependant and compassion towards other sentient beings must always be demonstrated at all costs! If we believe in reincarnation, maybe someone at this moment is putting down someone else whom in another life used to be his mother, father, sister, who knows? Hence, the imminent urgency to treat everyone as equal, with honesty and compassion. Karma to me is a fact of life... what goes up must go down; for every action there's a reaction; negative deeds come back to those who made them happen - sometimes it 'seems' that those evil ones always win, but watch out! We are all here to learn some more and we're not doing that, at least, not all of us.
Every single day individuals and other paranormal groups and organizations contact PASC (Paranormal Awareness Society, Corp.) asking some kind of help on this issue. We do our best, however, as along as we have followers who only follow without any reason or explanation we will always have this kind of problems. If those egocentric individuals and groups have no followers, then they would not exist, but they do! As in any other issue or field, when you follow an ideaology, etc. you must know the reason why and meditate on how you can change the world, not how much money you can make out of innocent people who need help in the paranormal field. Do you research, test someone who 'pretends' they're there to help others. For instance, there is a paranromal team - which obviouly, I will not give them the reason to get a bigger ego by mentioning them - that for years I've personally have tried to contact them through their emails... I believe it's been close to 3 years and I'm still waiting. And no, their responses never went to my email 'spam' ever - I just NEVER received one. These paranormal teams/groups are the ones with the biggest egos and the ones who always mention that they're there to help others, however they never talk their talk nor they walk their walk.
Unfortunately, big egos are winning the war to help others in the paranormal field.

You have no idea how hard it's been lately to do that. We try every day through myspace and the more we do it, the more pathetic people I personally see there, taking advantage of the rest of us.
It's like swinning against the current!!!!
