Im Mad, Bad and dangerous to know..
Especially if your a no mark, untrained, saddo, most haunted wannabe or an orb chasing, mist picture displaying barmpot, who runs around pretending to be a paranormal investigator or a medium or some such drivel, charging unsuspecting members of the public to attend ‘invos’ or ‘vigewals’or whatever you call them, where everybody sits around a table pushing a glass, or a planchette, or wobbling the table and claiming the ghost of great uncle Albert is actually causing the movement – thus causing the very few surviving real serious investigators not to be taken seriously..
And while we are on the subject – question for the media? why do you always print the barmpot reports and not contact real researchers to give an accurate opinion??? stop filling the publics mind with crap and start reporting some bloody sensible explainations! okay – deep breath..
The reason for my rant? or inane ramblings as some may perceive this little essay.. Ive just being updating the paranormal news section of the sypr forum, and yet again what do I find?? go on.. I’ll give you three guesses.. okay, I’ll just tell you. A load of crap, thats what I find..
Dont get me wrong here.
South Yorkshire (which is where I come from, incidentally) is absolutely jammed to bursting with the type of “paranormal Investigation” groups that partake of the activities listed above, it had absolutely no para related news whatsoever, slightly surprising considering the recent UFO flap.
But some of the other stories.. jeez..
Take for example, the recent photograph taken by some para group at a battlefield somewhere – supposed to be a ghost soldier? looks more like a light shining through a hedge to me..
I believe there were three seperate groups charging members of the public for ‘ghosthunting nights’ – this really bites my er.. well.. What are the public actually paying for here? no, thats a serious question – if you know can you let me know? As far as I can see, the venues they were meant to be investigating actually had no real evidence of being haunted anyway – how do I know?
Because there IS no real evidence that anywhere is haunted.
You have to apply logic here… centuries of scientific research has failed to come up with anything at all to prove that anything lives on after the earthly body dies, so how can anyone truly say they have evidence of a haunt? well, they can’t, can they?
And the UFO reports? caused by the release of MOD files, (Very cleverly predicted by my best mate Dave Sadler, who is a proper paranormal investigator, and who actually said there would be a flap as soon as he heard the files were being released) The release of these files brought people out of the woodwork to either a, report their sightings cos they feel more comfortable reporting them now everybody else is or b, make up sightings to report because they saw a UFO related report on the news.. (seem far fetched? sadly not, Im afraid. Ive been actively investigating the paranormal for eight years now, and I can guarantee that if certain films – Poltergeist, Sixth Sense etc. are shown on tv, we’ll get at least one report of someone witnessing similar phenomena..)
But lets delve a little further..
Have you ever noticed, if you watch the popular tv series, or read the papers just how these investigations are conducted?
Typical scenario: Group of people sit around a table, one of them usually calls themself a medium. Everyone puts their hands on a table / glass / planchette if they are using a ouija board and they call out for ‘any spirits in the room to make themselves known.’
Point one. If I was a spirit Id be sat in a corner laughing my head off at this point.
At this, something generally happens. Either the glass, table or planchette moves.
Point two. If I was a spirit, I wouldnt move anything.. Id still be laughing me head off at all these weirdos sat around a table concentrating.
Point three. Something I have noticed here is just how many spelling mistakes there are if the group are using a ouija board.. especially if everyones got their eyes shut.. hmm..
After a few moments of the ‘medium’ giving some long, drawn out account of someone (who no one else can actually see) birth, life and usually violent end..
Point four. This account usually takes one of two forms, either its easily looked up on the Internet or you cant find records of the person they are waffling on about.
..then everyone goes home and looks at their photos that they took on the night.
Which brings me nicely to ‘Orbs’
Im not even going to try to explain, Ill just let you look at the false positives section at www.sypr.co.uk and let you make your own mind up, but just for your information – I took all the photos on there, so Im either right when I say they are caused by natural means, or Im in control of the spirits.. which Im not..
And anyway, orbs can be another rant for another day…
