Paranormal Ethics: Investigators Versus Hunters

fultoncountyparanormalsociety Posted by fultoncountyparanormalsociety at 11:17 PM on November 01, 2007

I am the last person to say that they know anything. I feel that as a human society we have barely scratched the proverbial surface when it comes to what we understand about the world at large. With that said, it is in my opinion that there are two kinds of people that pursue this field of study. One being that of the paranormal investigator, the other the ghost hunter. I feel that an investigator is someone that quests for knowledge, someone that offers support to another who may be experiencing something without explanation. They do not seek monetary gain from other's confusion. These are the dedicated people who really are trying to make a difference. Whereas "ghost hunters" are in it for the cash and prizes so to speak. They seek the immortality and fame that is often associated with this type of study. These people charge for services, sometimes even for paranormal "classes". This concept befuddles me. How does one go about charging for information that isn't 100 percent viable or valid? They write books on the subject that have no clear answers and claim they are "helping" people by raking in $19.99 per copy. These thrillseekers should be ashamed of themselves. Not only do they belittle our possible advancement in this field, but take advantage of innocent people looking for answers.

Please let me begin by saying that I agree wholeheartedly with our fearless leader, Derek. For anyone to claim that they are knowledgeable enough about the paranormal field to charge for classes, books etc. are in my opinion, not only fame seeking, money hungry individuals who prey on innocent people, (who truly may be in need of answers/help),but they are extremely dishonest in the respect that they will provide a service for monetary gain for something they cant truthfully admit they have any solid evidence of. <br>Evidence lies in careful research. I, myself have experienced, what I have believed to be paranormal experiences, all my life. I could relay to people what I have felt or sensed, but can I truly substantiate it? No. I have chosen, at this time in my life to try to learn, investigate, if you will, the paranormal, to be able to understand, or even substantiate, these occurences in my life. I'm glad Derek has allowed me to to become a part of this worthwhile effort. Hopefully, I will be able to help others as well as myself, gain knowledge and answers, and in some small way, guide people to seeking truthful and honest answers, rather than paying someone just to provide what they think the client wants to hear.
