< Back Paranormal Uncensored: A Raw Look at Louisiana Ghost Hunting REVIEWS "Have you been thinking of joining a paranormal group? Or thinking about starting a paranormal group? Are you interested in hearing about someone’s experience doing both? Then we recommend you read Paranormal Uncensored: A Raw Look at Louisiana Ghost Hunting by Brad Duplechien. We here at Spectral Review listen and read a lot about the paranormal community. A recurring theme mentioned by many in the community are the petty jealousies and bickering that occur between members of paranormal groups, whether those people are in the same group or not. Most of these complaints lack any detail so someone from the outside world like us doesn’t really understand what the problems entail. Perhaps these people don’t want to finger and single out others. Fortunately for us, Brad Duplechien doesn’t have that problem. :) The tome Paranormal Uncensored: A Raw Look at Louisiana Ghost Hunting immerses us into the world of paranormal investigation, a glimpse at some of the people in it, and the problems that arise. We found Mr Duplechien’s writing style very enjoyable. As a reader you feel like you are in a comfortable rocking chair and Mr Duplechien is across from you, telling you about his journey as a paranormal investigator while you sit back and enjoy the story telling. In his writing, Mr Duplechien covers Louisiana folklore, ghost hunting basics including the basic tools used by investigators. Much of the book covers the many places he has investigated and the people he had to deal with along the way. This is a really good book and again if you are interested in seeing the world of the paranormal investigator from the inside we recommend that you get Paranormal Uncensored: A Raw Look at Louisiana Ghost Hunting." -Spectral Review "Brad Duplechien, the founder of Louisiana Spirits Paranormal Investigations, not only offers up great ghost stories in his self-published book, Paranormal Uncensored: A Raw Look at Louisiana Ghost Hunting (iUniverse), but explains how he got into the business and his travails along the way. Part spook fest, part tell-all, it's a wonderful look into the world of ghost hunting. Duplechien starts the book with his first paranormal experience in a notoriously creepy cemetery in central Louisiana called Fort Derussy, near the remains of the Civil War defense along the Red River. His description of the cemetery visits are enough to give ghost lovers a great thrill, but it's only a taste of what is to come. After Duplechien discovers ghost hunting from the popular TV show, he realizes he wants to learn the trade and begins by hooking up with other investigators via the Internet and having his own investigation fall into his lap. His first job (these are all volunteer) goes against Louisiana stereotypes, occurring on a piece of property with an abandoned home and two trailers -- no plantation here. What Duplechien discovers on this job gives him encouragement to continue even when politics, personalities and competition among paranormal groups flare up. While recounting the paranormal experiences of this household, for instance, he also describes the "sensitives" who tag along, two people Duplechien doesn't trust and who eventually work against the legitimacy of the group. The author doesn't hold anything back, exposing the nasty backbiting of paranormal groups trying to establish themselves in the wake of the popularity of ghost hunting, and he's not scared to name names. Although I found the whole story of establishing himself as a ghost hunter fascinating, I would have preferred a bit more ghost stories. Let's hope there's a sequel. Public sites that Duplechien visited include Oak Alley, the Joseph Jefferson Mansion, Marland's Bridge in Sunset and Deridder Jail." Previous Next

Learn More In Memory of Chance Lefleur Eternal Member 6/15/72 - 5/23/22 How should you prepare for a paranormal investigation? Preparation is key for a successful paranormal investigation. This includes researching the location's history, understanding reported paranormal activity, and ensuring all equipment is working. Mental preparation is also important, as investigating the unknown can be mentally taxing. What tools do you need for ghost hunting? The tools you need for ghost hunting can vary. At Louisiana Spirits, we use a mix of technology and traditional equipment. Essential tools include EMF meters to detect energy changes, digital recorders for capturing EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena), flashlights for safety and communication, infrared or low-light cameras for capturing images and videos, and spirit boxes for real-time communication. There are many more tools to explore! How do you tell the difference between paranormal and natural explanations? We approach each case with skepticism, seeking natural explanations first. Through data collection and analysis, we rule out all possible natural explanations before considering it paranormal activity. What are common myths about ghost hunting? Common myths about ghost hunting include the belief that all paranormal activity is malevolent, that investigations are like TV shows, and that anyone can do it without training or respect for spirits. In reality, paranormal activity is often quiet and uneventful, requiring patience. It's like fishing; you do it because you love it, and not every trip results in a catch.
