During this months course, Market and Consumer Research Analysis, I was able to learn a lot of information that will be seriously valuable to me in the future. When I set out on this journey and I was looking ahead to this class, it was my goal to be able to learn new ways to integrate my marketing and consumer research into quantifiable data that I would be able to use to my advantage in terms of generating traffic and revenue for organizations. I was effectively able to accomplish my goal and exceed my expectations.

My most enjoyable assignment during this month was working on a survey for the Shadows Ghost Tours in Chattanooga, TN and the entire process that went along with it. One thing that i enjoy doing is gathering results and then finding different ways to break down these results. I was able to find new way to recruit results and generate quantifiable data into information that will be able to be used in marketing materials in the future. I was able to gain a lot of insight into what kind of questions people like to answer as well as ways to present the questions to the consumers to ensure the most prime results possible.

This course was by far the hardest of the courses I have taken so far here at Full Sail University. This was not because of the assignments, but because of the actual information I was learning each week. This class required me to not simply create or design for the brand I was building, but instead measure and calculate this brand. This course took a more systematic approach rather then a creative approach. I have always been more of a creative thinker rather then a systematic thinker, so this course was exceptionally difficult for me to grasp. With the course already being accelerated and then adding on more complex information for me to learn, it made it hard for me to keep up, let alone teach myself the material. I found myself having to re-review the lessons for each week in order to finish each assignment.  However, even through all of this I was able to get through this course and actually take away some knowledge that I will then use in the future. The ability to measure and assess the progress of my brand through various sites such as Google Analytics is something I am proud to say I can now do. I may not be an expert at the entire process yet, but I know that through the development of my brand and continuation of this program from Full Sail University I can only improve and get better.

The Innovative Public Relations Tools and Resources course was definitely a course I feel has help me so much. My original goal was to learn different media platforms and understand how to navigate these platforms for effective Public Relations. There was so much information that I truly believe this course could have lasted and I would still want more time exploring the content and many tools gained during this course.

I thought I was up to date on the most popular social media apps until this course. One aspect of the course that I really enjoyed was the multiple ways to publish great content to websites and social media. The instructor, shared her many websites and gave instruction using many different platforms to include the popcorn videos, YouTube and GoToMeeting. I think I enjoyed seeing how she designed her websites and understanding the reasons why she designed them the way she did more than anything. I’m a visual learner and I learned a lot from her personal experience.

My favorite assignment was the Week 4 assignment where we added a media page to our websites. The thought of adding a media page was very intimidating at first, but I felt a little more comfortable when I was working on the the page. I also enjoyed the assignment where we had to find a new phone app and write a review. I found some very interesting apps that I will use in the future.

What  was your favorite assignment in this course? To be honest anything dealing with reading and watch videos is my favorite. I can drown myself for hours in any subject However, I do not believe that Ms. Maras had assignment in mind when she  came out with this question. Therefore, I must go with my second favorite  assignment. Please explain. The assignment that I enjoyed the most was Week Three Assignment: Copyright Registration and Search. My reasons  were because when I took my Bachelors in Music Business I was able to touch in Copyright Laws and this allowed me to go beyond that and learn how to register for Copyrights.  

Of the course topics covered this month, which one do you think will be most helpful to you as a communications professional? Personally I have used everything  I have learned this month you see I run a Video Production Company and have learned how to correctly write letters for things I would like to sample such as video  or music or photos and I learned how to also write a letter to the Copyright Office for things I want to copyright such as songs, films,  photos, poems and more. Finally, I learned of what can happen if I do not  follow the rules and regulations placed by FTC and the Copyright Office as I mentioned before.

How will the knowledge you acquired this month prepare you to handle potential  legal issues in the communications industry? As I mentioned by allowing me to look into what has happened to others who have broken the law by Deceiving  ads or by not writing the truth of someone with cases of character  deformation. I have learned what becomes of these companies, firms and independent   individuals who happen to get punished for their actions by the law. Most  important I have learned how to prevent such actions by simply following     the law and doing what is right.

Mark Fults has made it his life’s journey to seek out and look into claims of ghosts and hauntings.

Since 2001, Mark has his friend Storm have rub a group of investigators called The Shadows Paranormal InvestigationsShadows Paranormal Investigations. This organization investigates stories of haunted activity for no charge and then documents their findings for public knowledge. Mark and Storm also serves as member within the TAPS Family organization, a global network of credible investigators brought together by The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS).

How did you get interested in this unique line of work?

Mark Fults: I originally got interested in the field of hauntings and ghosts when I lost a loved one close to me at the age of 10. She passed away suddenly and we never had the chance to say goodbye. Later on in my teen years, I heard stories of people saying goodbye to deceased loved ones in certain circumstances and always wondered if that was possible. That, of course, was just the beginning of this strange journey.

What is the purpose of the Shadows Paranormal Investigations Group? What do you actually do?

MF: Our goal is to document claims of haunted locations around the state of Tennessee. We works with both commercial and residential clients to attempt to prove or explain the claims within the allegedly haunted property. We use various equipment to provide an objective perspective of our findings. After we wrap up the investigation and the clients know what we found, we then publish our reports for the general public on our website, http://shadowsparanormalinvestigations.com

What is your favorite ghost story? (I am sure you have plenty!)

MF: That’s a tough question in all honesty. Historically? The Read Hotel in Chattanooga, TN is a true gem. It was the first hotel that had electricity and the owners had to replace the wiring after a few months due to people just booking a room to turn on the lights. The pure amount of history within that inn is astounding.

My favorite experience would have been at the Combuis House. We were packing up

after a long night and were in the parking lot loading cars. When I looked into the dimly lit lobby, I saw a small shadow figure, about three feet tall, walk from left to right. A few minutes later, I had a team member tell me that he saw the same thing move from right to left in the lobby. I guess the ghosts were just making sure that we were leaving!

Are there any famous hauntings locally in the Chattanooga area?

MF: There are a few that I have heard about within the city area, but have yet to investigate. The Red Light Bar in downtown Chattanooga is said to have some strange stories (which are documented on our site) as well as one of the top floors of the Chattanooga City Hall.

I think that many people are scared of ghosts because they hear stories of things flying around. Are most ghosts something to be scared of, or are most of them rather gentle? MF: They usually are just gentle, but much like people, they want to be noticed. This is why noises and activity come into play. There is also a theory that ghosts are more prone to nightly activities because it is easier for them to be noticed, as people are less likely to notice during the daytime.

Why do you think ghosts hang around?

MF: We use the term that “ghosts were people too,” and when you apply that to them, you have to ask why people stick around certain areas. Maybe it’s financial (they are worried about their money), family orientated (sticking around to comfort a loved one), or they want to wait for a loved one to be with them.

I have heard a few reasons in my time ghost hunting and it’s usually either love, money, or fear of moving on.

Do you think ghosts stop being ghosts at some point and move on?

MF: Yes, I have been in a few situations where a ghost has moved on during our time within the home. It’s an odd event, as we have registered a drop in barometric pressure and temperature in the environment. Most haunted locales have a stuffy feeling to them, but when this particular ghost moved on, it was like someone had opened all the windows.

I know that some people see dead people on a regular basis. Have you ever been able to identify what makes someone able to see ghosts and others can’t?

MF: I think it all has to do with their perspective on life. Many psychics were once children whose parents never said, “No, you can’t.” We live in a society where we are constantly being told how to feel, act and think “normally.” Some have this social barrier instilled in them, while others do not.

Are children more inclined to see ghosts than adults?

MF: It depends on the upbringing, I think. Once again, going back to the perspective theory, children are most likely without the normal social barriers, but every circumstance is different.

It seems that part of the goal of your work is to explain scientifically that these scenarios are real and do exist. Have you had success in convincing people of the validity of ghost stories?

MF: I think it is important to realize that our job is not to make people believers but rather be a neutral third party who wants to try to document these claims. We bring forth our expertise of possible normal explanations, and when we are left scratching our heads, we ask the clients and public what they think of it.

Effective PR creates an image of a company, influences an audience that this image is good, and connects with consumers to create a relationship between company and customer. Having a good image evolves from a combination of enacting corporate social responsibility, having excellent customer service, and maintaining a consistency in core messages.

Why does your company need public relations?

his Spooky Nights event by Shadows Paranormal Investigations and Erlanger Children’s hospital will host this event. There will be Mediums and Psychics in attendance at Shadows Paranormal Investigations Charity Ghost Hunt. This hunt will be the home for ghosts and spirits that have made this place their own. With such a torrid and difficult history, Chattanooga is a must for any ghost hunter who is able to endure the intensity of the hauntings here.

Set in the heart of downtown Chattanooga countryside and surrounded by old buildings make the backdrop of Shadows Paranormal Investigations Charity Ghost Hunt.

The grounds in which Shadows Paranormal Investigations Charity Ghost Hunt sits has a torrid and sinister history of its own. There are thought to be numerous bodies buried who were captured in the war as they fled from the north. Once caught they were then tried condemned, hung and buried in unmarked graves.

Deep below this streets in Chattanooga are the original cellars which house the Well that supplied water to the house. This area along with the old stable block were once used as an emergency hospital for the casualties of the war and the atmosphere here is definitely daunting with many sounds and bangs being heard along with whispered voices

Our Shadows Paranormal Investigations Charity Ghost Hunt certainly gave us enough unexplained activity to warrant another full investigation.

Chattanooga is a Haunted place with a spooky history which is waiting to be discovered.

With so much Ghostly activity reported here your Shadows Paranormal Investigations Charity Ghost Hunt we will give you access to several areas that have never yet been investigated.

What or who will you encounter as we spend the evening in Old Town Chattanooga?

Shadows Paranormal (Episode 1): The House That Evil Built 

Shadows Paranormal Research: 

Mark Fults have been working with spiritual energy for many years. This Automatic Writing session is very raw and an unvarnished conversation between Mr. Fults and the spirits and the energy known as Rick. Due to my meditation work Mr. Fults can move freely through this ancient type of conversation with the deceased. 

This is not to be attempted by those looking for a thrill it is part of Mr. Fults expanding spiritual experience. 

“You do not have to believe what I say but if it interests you here it is, possibly at times you'll see moments or flashes of the other side the place where we all go at one point of the other. As energy or spirit or as thought or old memories our time there is much longer than the fleshy life we lead now. Open your mind and seek the evidence all around us and come to your own conclusion. We are all spirits waiting to part  that dark veil and enter from existing into being, to find the' light ' of love acceptance and all knowing.”
