Creepy Hollows....Let the Adventure Begin! What to Expect

You can expect, especially if you are new, to have a period of transition once you have welcomed new spirits or enchanted objects into your home. This time can be anywhere from 24 hours to months depending on the strength of the energy of the spirit or spell, your dedication to bonding with them, your natural sensitivities to the metaphysical and paranormal, and what entity you select.

We try to outline as best as possible when spirits may take an unusual toll in the bonding process as most collectors find that through our bridging process they see and feel their spirit(s) before the vessel even arrives.

Bonding with spirits, unless otherwise noted, consists mostly of dedicating your time to talking to them (outloud, through thought, automatic writing, meditation, etc). There are a few entities that require an invocation or ritual but for the most part we here at Creepy Hollows try to be as collector-friendly and efficient as possible in making the spirits and enchanted vessels you bring home "bonding-ready". If there are any further details in the bonding process you can find them in our "How-To" section of our forum here. There are simple ideas and rituals listed that you can do to strengthen the bonding process, the most common entities are listed in this section. You can also check out the "All Entities" section here This is important because it show the "Associations" for entities and you use these to further connect and promote healthy bonding with your entities. Associations tie a day of the week, month, gemstone, herb, animal, etc to each entity. You can use any of the associations to give offerings, use the perfect day for wishes (for djinn for example), bonding, great months for work with certain entities, etc.

Contrary to popular belief being a paranormal collector is not difficult. It does not require you to do any kind of sacrifice or crazy rituals, all that is required is your passion, your time and your heart to share your life with a spirit(s).

It is an experience that enriches your life in more ways than you could possibly imagine and if you'd like to see how hundreds of lives have already been changed you can visit our forum here.

As for Creepy Hollows specifics below is an outline of expectation for answering emails, shipping, etc.

The Support Desk - I have questions about my order, shipping, etc

So you've placed orders and you have questions about procedure, shipping, notes on your orders, etc. All of these questions should be submitted to our Support Desk. This way someone can see your question and respond to it without it being lost in email. This is the BEST way to get an answer to questions about orders, SRAs, procedure, etc. Click Here

Immediate Responses & Quick Shipping - What we're like

Ash and I are well aware that there are eBay sellers who respond to you in 5 minutes and even within 48 hours. We are also aware that there are eBay sellers who ship to you in 24 hours and even within 3 days.

We are not always those kind of sellers.

The reason why is two-fold; this site and what we have to do in order to supply you with spirits, spells and special offers.

For starters this site alone could give two people a full-time job. If we could implant our knowledge into two people they could spend all day caring for the site, uploading new articles in to the Encyclopedia, listing auctions, running contests, answering questions here, making blog entries and everything else on the site. In fact I'm sure I could hire 3 people and they would all be busy every day of the week 10 hours a day.

But we don't have a team of people here every day we have myself, Ash and now Princess - who by the way works twice as many hours as I told her when we hired her.

Secondly we can't offer you anything if Ash and I aren't working on casting... AND we couldn't offer you special offers from other practitioners without networking and offering to do them favors in return for their discounts to you.

We could shut everything down and just be eBay sellers... shut the whole site down and then we'd have all the time in the world to just do eBay and nothing else... answer questions immediately and ship immediately.

But weren't not going to do that, this is our life, our passion, our hobby, our work... everything to us. We wouldn't have the site if it wasn't our true calling. In fact we plan on this site getting bigger and we will be gone for a week in November on a paranormal investigation.

We know that you can go to an eBay seller and get an immediate answer and immediate shipping and it's not that we're ignoring your or don't want to send you your belongings... that is why we give out so many freebies, we have special sales, we do free work for those who ask us to, and try to give you many other ammentities to counterbalance the slow answer and shipping times. And that was why we hired Princess, to help all of that along faster.

So if you're looking for a paranormal practitioner(s) who has all the time in the world to talk, chat, ship, email, instant message, etc I'm sorry but we don't have that kind of time... I wish we did. We try to do as much as we can all the time and I wasn't kidding when I said we work 98+ hours a week, 7 days a week.

We do as much as we can to make up for the slow shipping and email responses and truthfully now that Princess is on board she organizes for us questions, requests, shipping, etc so if you don't send something through the Helpdesk I can't guarantee I'll see it. Your email will get buried in our inbox or junk binned if you are new to us. We try to get back to everyone but if you need help NOW it needs to go through the Helpdesk. Princess gets the tickets, organizes them, gives them to us, we work on them, give them back to her and then she responds. Efficiency is everything when we have packed days.

So if you're looking for instant gratification of shipped products and answered emails sadly I have to refer you to eBay... but if you're looking for a group of people whose entire life is consumed and involved in the paranormal and you're willing to wait for something special... welcome!
