The problem with being a ghost hunter....

Posted by alissa9948 on October 18, 2009 at 11:12 PM

As if we don't already have enough problems to begin with being paranormal enthusiats. We face ridicule from people everyday for doing what we do and even for what we believe in. The problem I've been seeing lately and what I want to talk about is ghost hunters attacking fellow believers of the paranormal world. Isn't it bad enough that most people think we're crazy for chasing spirits? Now, groups are attacking each other when we should be helping each other out. Maybe we've all become too focused on becoming famous or picking up a tv deal that we've lost sight of what we're trying to do in this field. It's true that maybe some groups out there are less credible than others but let people figure that out on their own. The Paranormal world has no place for trash talk about what group is fake and who doesn't deserve to get credit. We should all be working towards showing people and skeptics that what we're doing is real and already hard enough to prove. It reflects bad on everyone when people who are supposedly investigators are calling out other groups and saying they fabricate evidence or things along those lines. It gives skeptics the idea that "well if they can't even believe each other then why should we?" All I'm saying is that we already face enough hurdles trying to prove what we believe.Maybe if more of us could work together we could get that much closer to showing people that ghosts do exist.

I agree with you. Trashing each other is not helpful. We should be working together to raise ghost hunting from pseudo-science into true science status. Most people are intelligent enough to do some research before they believe something just because someone said it, so the less credible groups will hopefully be "weeded" out. It does bother me when I hear groups making false claims in the media, but I believe the public is well informed enough to check facts before making decisions.

I also agree with this statement. I see this all the time. It seems like paranormal groups don't want to help each other out. It's more like each group is on there own. We need to stick together and help each other so we can get closer to the truth. We need to network out with groups across this planet and share info. Have the more experienced groups help the less experienced groups get up to speed so we can prove or disprove hauntings.

Thanks for bring up this important subject. I too see this trash talk down south in NC. There are many great groups that do share, but too many are getting side tracked with money or possible temp.tv fame. TAPS is a good show, but people don't realize it is a form of entertainment the min. it hits the airwaves...We all need to stick together and share what we find with the public.

I so readly agree with you....Now if all the hunters and investigaters stopped quabbling and reallized we are all of the same family we would be a force to be reconned with. Could you conceave of the awsumeness of the doing reseach if we all banded together. Planned hunting outings where everyone beinfits from all the resourses of everyone...we could be a unified symposium of paranormal research. Well I'm a optimist ...
