Paranormal expert says ghosts won’t be moving to new Yankee Stadium

Now that the buried Ortiz jersey story has run its course, Newsday steps in to fill the void of stupid new-Yankee Stadium related stories:

Dominick Villella, who works for Paranormal Investigation of New York City, has grave doubts that the Yankee ghosts will change addresses.

“I don’t think it is possible to move any type of paranormal activity from one building to the next,” he said. “It is probably going to be tied to that building. The old stadium is going to retain whatever energy it had. It would be nice if you could take some of the old energy over, but I don’t think it is possible.”

~~Paranormal expert~~ Fraud says ghosts won’t be moving to new Yankee Stadium

And I bet if you pay $120/hr, he'll introduce you to all those alleged ghosts. Could we maybe stop giving idiots like this attention, America? Please?

What an idiot. Any paranormal expert worth his salt knows that ghosts can move from one building to another.

With their lease on eternity at the old Yankee Stadium endangered, perhaps Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle will opt to become free-agent spirits.

Paging Ted Lerner, paging Ted Lerner...

I was at the Stadium last week, and I saw the ghosts of Catfish Hunter, Max Schmeling, and Pope John Paul II buying overpriced yearbooks at Stan's Sports World.

The real question is what the Yankees do with the ghost of Mike Mussina.

The old stadium is going to retain whatever energy it had.

Then spread into chunks when it's razed.

Who you going to call?

They could be participants in the biggest interstadiumnal cross rip since the Shibe Park blast of 1909!

The Ouija board his parents got him for Christmas really paid off.

It's kinda weird to believe in ghosts, but then draw a bright line and decide that ghosts moving between architectural structures is just crazy.

Maybe he buys into Kneale's theory from THE STONE TAPE - even though that was a fictional TV program.

After actually RTFA, it sounds like he does.

This guy should speak to James Randi and try to win the one-million dollars he offers to anyone that can prove evidence of paranormal or psychic abilities.

Heh, that'd be awesome - nothing's more fun than people who get scientific information from fiction.

You could probably totally mess with children that way. Tell them Battlefield Earth is a documentary about the USA's early days.

shouldn't this guy talk to john edwards before saying that ghosts won't move, after all Edwards is able to get them to move to his studio.

So Mystique and Aura are headed for the Hudson Canyon with the rest of the rubble?

15. Dom PINYC Posted: April 25, 2008 at 04:51 PM (#2758858)

For all who had something to say: I did not claim to be a paranormal expert and my services are free. I do not claim to be psychic and was asked my opinion. I do not understand why so many people get so uptight about paranormal subjects. I help those who don't know where to turn. Fraud would imply that I take money for unbelievable services, I do neither. If helping people feel more comfortable in a home is wrong, then i am guilty. I wish you all the best and hope someday you understand that not everything paranormal is a fraud.
Blessings,
Dom V.

So there.

It's kinda weird to believe in ghosts, but then draw a bright line and decide that ghosts moving between architectural structures is just crazy.

That reminds me of when I was getting the brakes fixed on my car a few weeks ago and the TV in the waiting room was showing Montel (I think) with some crazy woman who claimed to talk to dead people, and all these people were asking her questions and she'd say stuff like, "Uncle Ed said, 'remember to floss'" and the folks would swoon and be impressed. So then one lady says, "I'm pregnant and sometimes I get lightheaded and see stars" and the "psychic" looks at her like the pregnant lady's a loon and deadpans, "Oh, honey, your blood sugar is just low."
