Thanks to
everyone who came out to support The Dias Family Fund at JR's Bourbon St.
Rockhouse in Cranston last night. The proceeds from the event will help to
defray medical costs for 2-year-old Gessalyn Dias, diagnosed with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia. The family has set up an account through Bank of America
and all donations are welcome. Gessalyn has begun treatments, but there is still
a long journey ahead for this brave little girl.
A number of local bands
including Voodoo provided the music and there were a variety of raffle items
drawn throughout the evening, including an opportunity to accompany RISEUP on a
future investigation that will be filmed as an episode of our web-series 'Shadow
Stalkers'. Also in attendance were Dustin Pari and Joe Chin from the Sci-Fi
channel series 'Ghost Hunters International', two very cool guys who also donated
some items to the raffle and their time to this worthy cause. Congratulations to
Annie Lepes, the winner of our prize. She and a group of her friends will be
joining us in an investigation of Fort Adams this Spring or Summer.
RISEUP will
also be hosting a group fundraiser in the coming weeks with a portion of the
proceeds to going to The Dias Family Fund. More information will be available
once we've established a date.
Recently, RISEUP
Paranormal joined members of its AGS counterpart in Massachusetts,
Cape and Islands Paranormal Research Society
(CAIPRS) on an investigation of "The Old Jail" in Barnstable, MA. Noteworthy as
the oldest wooden jail in the United States, it has also been a hotbed of
paranormal activity since CAIPRS assumed a great deal of the responsibility for
its daily upkeep and ensuring its doors remain open to the public.
While our
investigation was private, we are delighted to pass along that CAIPRS offers
"Haunted Overnights" for the
general public.
Read about our
investigation of this fascinating location in the
case files section.
RISEUP was called
upon by a representative of a distinguished institution to investigate numerous
claims of paranormal activity at the establishment's social club. The
investigation took place on December 26, 2009. Due to the sensitive nature of
the case and the need to protect the institution from undue attention, we must
keep the exact location confidential.
The reports encompass
a number of years and have been witnessed by a great number of people.
Apparitions floating through walls, object manipulation, lights coming on and
off in an otherwise empty building and conversations in vacant rooms are among
the phenomena described.
Some intriguing
evidence - particularly one perplexing event caught on video - was obtained that may substantiate the
accounts reported to us. The case
file will be available very soon.
In
collaboration with Dark New England Productions, 'Shadow Stalkers' is an
Internet-based series that will follow RISEUP in our efforts to research, investigate and
document reports and legends of paranormal activity. The pilot episode concerns our investigations at historic
Fort Adams in Newport, R.I. and their
evolution into a public ghost hunt fund-raiser at Halloween 2009.. Visit

details.
The second installment of 'Shadow Stalkers' is now in
post-production. Recently the group visited an undisclosed location to investigate claims of apparitions, disembodied voices and object
manipulation. The episode will be released for public viewing in the very near
future.
