CUBA — Paranormal Investigator Father Michael J. Rambacher kept the lights on while he spoke about paranormal activity during his presentation at the A.A. Arnold Community Center on Thursday afternoon.
Father Rambacher, who spoke to about 35 senior citizens, shared his stories of paranormal activity and events that have occurred during his studies.
Father Rambacher, who gives about 25 lectures a year, said he deals with all sorts of paranormal phenomenon, from exorcisms to individuals saying their house lights are mysteriously turning on. No matter what the case is, his goal is to help people.
“My work is with people, families, houses and land,” he said. “I go and get rid of the energy so families can live their lives, because I’ve seen families torn apart by this.”
Father Rambacher described energy as the presence of electricity from spirits. He said all humans contain electricity even after death. Today, technology, such as infrared cameras and magnetometers, can now detect this electromagnetic energy and thus give proof of some kind of spiritual presence, he said. He showed numerous photographs containing “orbs,” or bursts of electromagnetic energy, which are invisible to the eye.
One picture is the inside of a church in Gettysburg, Pa. In a line of church pews, the front pew is occupied by a lone shadow of a person, the outline of a head and shoulders darkened against the front, white wall.
He showed a video he made while studying “the woman in white,” a ghost that haunts Gettysburg, Pa. Using an infrared camera, he video taped a wooded area where the ghost is usually seen. In the black and white video, the wooded area is calm, then suddenly a white strip of light bends into view then vanishes. He replayed the video over and over while the audience gasped. The energy, he said, was moving anywhere from 800 to 1,200 miles per hour.
Father Rambacher believes that he has captured some sort of paranormal activity.
“You have to acknowledge it,” he said. “There’s no getting around it.”
Father Rambacher said he studied with St. Bonaventure University’s own Father Alphonsus Trabold for three years. Father Trabold, who died in April, was an expert on the paranormal.
“He was an incredible man,” Father Rambacher said, adding his experiences with Father Trabold were beneficial to his studies.
The Akron, Ohio, native’s interest in the paranormal began as a teenager, but at the time, he didn’t understand where the information on the subject was coming from.
During his time in the U.S. Air Force from 1966 to 1970, Father Rambacher was introduced to Project Bluebook, a government agency that studied UFOs.
“There was a lot of stuff on UFOs that the government didn’t want you to know about,” he said.
Like the time at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, where Father Rambacher was stationed. One night, after he watched a fighter plane land, he saw a burst of orange and heard a fizzing sound. He said he thought the plane had exploded. Instead, what he saw was an orange ball 50 feet from the runway accelerating, then disappearing down a hill. A pair of F-4 Fighters took off immediately to chase the object. The planes never returned. Father Rambacher said the event happened 20 years to the day on the same hour as the Roswell incident in New Mexico in 1947.
“That made me all more convinced there is more to our existence than what we believe,” he said.
The UFO story involving Roswell in 1947 has remained one of the most talked about mysteries in U.S. history. Some believe that a UFO crashed in the small town and the case was then quickly covered up by the U.S. government. Others dismiss the story as just another tall tale.
Father Rambacher said not all paranormal experiences are as dramatic as his was at the air base.
“There are all sorts of manifestations,” he said. “Like a breeze blowing through a window, you may feel the electromagnetic energy.”
Father Rambacher predicts in the next two years, science and technology will prove that paranormal activity is real.
“There is valid proof that it exists,” he told the audience. “It hasn’t changed and will never change.”
