IE where paranormal activity has been experienced and what type and who died. I'd rather they go in with a clear mind and after see what if any experiences coincide with others' experience or if some of the history of the place is corroborated by experiences they've witnessed.<br />IOW, if you go in with a load of "crap", it's likely you'll experience a load of "crap".Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430195762629030092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10726896.post-50328804980108457572011-07-22T09:56:35.769-04:002011-07-22T09:56:35.769-04:00Fantastic and spot on.

I think those barking the loudest are the least likely to have reason to be barking. I've always admired those teams that don't assign titles (lead this or lead that), don't spend more time designing matching t-shirts with cutesy acronyms than they do embracing the often necessarily tedious work of investigation, and don't make promo videos (heavily inspired by GH visuals) that they market to production companies and sell at conventions, especially when their title cards read "Starring..." To me, this telegraphs that your interest lies in the trappings of paracelebrity and not in doing the work. I've investigated alongside others when I've been invited, but otherwise I've always gone to places by myself or with one other person. I don't claim to be an expert, but I'll say this: I've learned WAY more not watching TV.Cullan Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465098080944236025noreply@blogger.com
