Paranormal occurences in movies have been around for as long as there's been a horror genre. More recently though Hollywood has taken a turn to making more traditional paranormal movies. White Noise, Paranormal Activity and A Haunting in Connecticut are just a few of the blockbusters that have really sparked an interest in the paranormal field. My question is do these movies help or harm the world of paranormal investigators? On the one hand they do bring the world of "ghost hunting" to the masses. This could be a good thing by maybe getting more people interested in what it is we do. But are these movie a good representation of the actuality of investigating? Personally, I think these movies do both good and bad for us. It's always great to have more people want to learn about what we're doing but these movies are also obviously falsifying and exaggerating the paranormal world for the entertainment value. What does everyone else think about this subject?
