Unity In The Paranormal Community- Not!
I have found that in Oklahoma, those associated with our paranormal community strive for self-promotion instead of actually helping out people who are in need of real help with paranormal activities in their lives.
Don’t get me wrong, there are real investigators out there trying really hard to help people who are distraught and afraid of what they are experiencing. On the other hand, there are multiple groups that go out, buy a couple of electronic gadgets, and instantly claim to be an investigator. What’s really scary is people who ask help from these so-called ‘ghost hunters’ don’t do proper research on the team itself.
With proper research, anyone can find out information on paranormal teams, which I HIGHLY recommended.
There are teams out there that treat their paranormal team as a social event. An investigation to them is just an excuse to get together, walk through a strangers house, and then party afterward.
There are teams that are used as people’s personal dating service and a way to cheat on spouses. There are even those who get into the paranormal community just to stir up trouble and bash teams while trying to defame peoples personal characters so they gain notoriety. I don’t understand this.
I thought that everyone was taught a certain amount of morals and ethics. It is these values that should keep teams from allowing child molesters to be associate with them or their team in any way, shape, or form. These values should keep team members focused on their task at hand instead of counting how many people we can sleep with in a nights time. As adults, we shouldn’t care what others call us or instigate the situation more by responding to their child like name calling. Instead, we should be researching our future investigators background or researching the history of our upcoming case. Am I right with these observations, or have I missed the boat completely?
Again, there are valid, honest, good people out there trying to do good investigating for people out of the kindness of their hearts. But the majority have different agenda’s, and they’re easy to spot.
It is these reasons that I do my thing by myself. It cuts down on all the BS. Unity in the community? There is in mine!
Amen Brother you hit the nail on the head!!! Great blog!

I agree Christian, there has never been a real sense of unity in this community. It’s like everyone is competing with each other and getting very little evidence documented. Thanks for the post
