Nick believes positive and negative energy and that we create energies ourselves from thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours and from other spirits. He uses an unorthodox approach to his investigation using a ritual and see whether the ghost , a supernatural entity can latch onto humans, living people. He's never allowed spirits to attack him physically after having them follow him home, having attached themselves to him. After investigating the ten most haunted places in America he began to notice strange occurrences affect his everyday life through a multitude of positive and physical energies. Something similar happened to him after he investigated Hinsdale House too for Paranormal Lockdown. When he had the entities follow him home and came through the Geoport and haunt his house. telling him to go to Pontefract and the Black Monk House at 33 East Drive.
He will investigate Bloody Mary's 1890's haunted house where the good ghosts left the city after Katrina and never came back. Green orbs have been seen around the bedroom and she's sealed ghosts in the attic using holy oil. Nick will investigate the lower part of house where she does her private work for clients and will also investigate her haunted museum before being cleansed by her ,hoping to bring him inner peace after this entire journey of 15 episodes.
Mary tells us about herself and her family came here in 1718 from the Alsace area of France. Her family has been here since then and she's been teaching voodoo for 28 years to people. The spirits woke her up and her voodoo house and there's a strong family tradition and her husband is a voodoo priest and son is an apprentice and she focuses on New Orleans voodoo. Her job is to preserve the culture here. There was a danger of losing culture after Katrina when people moved and didn't come back. She's a priestess in the tradition of Marie Laveau. Voodoo was practised by mixed races, every colour, every person and nationality, everybody dabbled in New Orleans (NO) voodoo. NO was most haunted city even before they were American and before they were colonel. There were monsters, spirits and ghosts and holy spirits back then.
NO is below sea level where life began and was easy to connect with them. NO is below the Bible belt where people can talk about taboo things. Big in the spiritualist movement and people came to NO to dabble in things they wouldn't do at home. NO watches over and protects and there has always been spirit activity here. Moved here with her young son as a single mother. The statue in her garden showed her where to live and the statute turned to her and she took over this house. Built 1895 and came with spirits and with the spirit of Edward. Other spirits followed her home here. She had a full house and she believes in spirit rights and for someone who lived in the house before to stay as they have right to remain there. She had haunted objects here and also put some in the haunted collection in her museum. Ghost hunts take place here. At night she gets the most activity and speaks to them. Elementals, land spirits and a nasty one comes through just as good and bad in life. People get touched and groped.
Nick undergoes her incantation at her ancient place bloody Mary sings in voodoo to bring the spirits around him. She carries out a ritual around Nick. To summon the spirits around him. The spirits of the South: angels and gods. The Western spirits: spirits of water, energy there, call upon them. The spirits of the East: air, angels are there. To dance with them. Of the North: Green Mother, makes a simple crossroads for them to go there on the third eye and feed the blessed bread to the doll who represents her. A special offering to the ancestors who have come before and the spirits of 144 South Henessey and Edward. She invites them all to investigate with Nick and leave at midnight. Use methods to communicate with such as electrical equipment. The cigar is left out as an offering along with the liquid. Introduces himself as Nicholas Groff. Invites the spirits to dance with them. Alison is the centre post in the house, the spiritual highway and will lead them in. Let the spirit guides of Mary Laveau to come through.
Nick asks the spirits to speak with him. "Mary" is heard on the Geoport and "We." He asks if they know who Mary is. Also Nick asks if the spirits remember him from before as he wants to make spiritual contact through the house with the doorway opened. He feels a needle pierced his arm. Investigate any physical presence. He asks if that was them. "Yes." "Let me enter" I hear. He asks them to speak clearly. He feels a tingling down his spine and asks if there's someone behind him, touching him? Last time was in the Ghost Adventures ep when all the books flew off the bookshelf. He enters one of the rooms "yes" and came across energy last time. People get slapped there. He asks for a name. I heard "help me." "Here he is...can see" after he asks if they're in the temple. "Nick's here." Said twice. "Outside." In the basement below.
Nick asks to feel its power and energy and show people there's physical contact from their realm into our reality. Something grabs him on his arm. There's a mark. The Geoport also says "there's a mark." It's under where the pole extends all the way down from upstairs. He tells Mary. She says could be one of her voodoo spirits. He wants to go deeper and his goal journey is to evolve as a human and also to evolve with the spirits. He felt and asked for physical contact from the other side and he got that.
He heads to Bloody Mary's museum and he joins Mary and her friends. After the seance, he investigates the upstairs apartment. Zack and Addie arrived here a year after Katrina and she wanted to be removed from lease and the landlord wouldn't do that. They fought and Zack strangled her, cooked her in the oven for almost 13 days. Then jumped off the hotel building. See Paranormal Lockdown ep. "Yes I am/do" remember him. Knocking comes from the bathroom. "Nick's here." There are also other spirits at this location and other people here. He wants to find physical contact from behind. She opened the doorway and wants the spirits to come through. Another knock is heard. Asks for any spirits from his journey to come forward. He needs the validation someone touched his arm. Dolls in the room. A spirit is meant to hide in the little opening. Nick plays the out of tune piano toy. I heard "Addie is that you"??
Nick allows the spirits to communicate as they please. He wants them to help him show there's some communication beyond the grave and show the world they can do these things together. Give the world this message. I liked the first Geoport in season 1 there was less echo. He was at Bloody Mary's house ten years ago, and she brought spirits forth and opened the doorway from the other side. He feels static electricity. journey led him here to open the doorway, the threshold and step through further mentally and physically make connection to the other side. To show if there's something more than dying and how they affect the living in the reality they're in. Touched in the basement and did it follow them here. "He's here." Justin hears knocking. Nick feels someone's standing in the staircase and energy moves in and out of there, all the energy when they came and went. More balance here and more than he came here last time. Tragic ending and feels the energy in waves but less intense than last time. Still interaction. IO device interaction. Led them back to NO and Bloody Mary helped them open the doorway.
He leaves and he feels the energy lift and spirits have a sense of peace. He's fascinated by communication from beyond and the spiritual vibe as he walks the streets and cleanses himself from the energies from the other side. She takes him to the edge of the Mississippi and carries out her cleansing ritual. Where Nick feeds the spirits in the water, before dunking himself underwater too. Mary Laveau fed and where they fed the spirits too. Takes Nick full circle in the water. Small cleanses are done and should done by Nick all the time. All the spirits he may have amassed with him throughout his journey in the season. She thanks the spirits and gods walking at their side throughout the day. Thanks them for their power and closes the way. She sings her ritual to the spirits.
So Nick completes his journey this season 2 coming fill circle and needing that cleansing after some of the spirits he's encountered. Though not so much physical contact, there were some physical manifestations and a lot of knocking and voice communication in EVPs and through the Geoport and other equipment. This season was definitely different from season 1 as that involves more communication through other forms, how ghost perceive them how they perceive the spirits, each within their own realms etc. Such as his reference to The Others frequently.
Season 2 was more connecting to the other side through physical touch, to show physical contact and through the two different realms with several references to how spirits perceive them in their world and the human world sees them in theirs. It was good seeing him make a return to New Orleans (one of my fave cities) having been there a year before Katrina and then Nick travelled there with GA. It brought back memories for me. But also for Nick as he experienced the spirits in Bloody Mary's house that time around. As well as when he was there for the tragic Paranormal Lockdown episode. Good to see that the energy is less intense there now and he didn't see any dark shadows like they caught last time around the kitchen area. Wonder if Justin got cleansed as well.
Can't wait for a season 3, as Nick said in an interview with Joblocom about signing a 44 episode deal in the US, or at least hoping to! youtu.be/5OM84qsBaDY
