REAL ghost hunting
8-22-08 - It's not as action-packed as it looks on TV.
While I don't like the term "Ghost Hunting", this is a really great article featuring some impressive input by Jan Gregory, founder of Vancouver Paranormal, on the difference between paranormal TV and real paranormal.
Lesson No. 1: Don't believe what you see on TV. Ghost hunting is boring. There is no traipsing loudly through cemeteries. No spooky séances. No startling at every sound.
Lesson No. 2: Ninety-eight per cent of things that go bump in the night can be fixed with a hammer or a screwdriver.
"Real ghost hunting requires hours of sitting in silence and a skeptical mind...I'm tired of people doing it the way they do it on TV," Ms. Gregory says. "All they do is give ghost hunting a bad name."
Their job does not involve "ghost busting." Rather, they record and witness mysterious happenings. In fact, ghost hunting is somewhat of a misnomer, says Ms. Gregory, a self-described skeptic, since no one is able to prove whether ghosts exist.
