Fulton County Paranormal

I know that within my own group we have somewhat of a lengthy pre-screening process for potential clients. In my opinion there is no sense in taking on a case, that you can not handle, and let's face it sometimes an investigator no matter how good his/her intentions are, just aren't enough. Psychological guidance at times is required, something that no one except board licensed Psychotherapists or Parapsychologists should ever offer. With that said it is also important (at least in our group) to try and scan the client for a preliminary pre-disposition to or against believing in the paranormal. Do they read paranormal literature, watch documentaries, buy into hollywood's "based on a true story" mumbo-jumbo? Knowing what a person believes can dismiss or encourage case selection. It is also important to keep in mind the state that the client is in. Do they seem truly scared, inquisitive, alone, comical? Judgement is a key to determining not only which sites to pick but in studying this field as a whole. It is also important to understand that despite what a lot of us feel we may know, we know nothing at all. I would never guarantee a person anything, instead I might tell them that we would do our best to discover what we can. When you tell someone that you definitely can guarantee to do something, it makes them feel betrayed when you can not. It is always important to keep an open mind when listening to reports but not so open-minded that your brain falls out. Keep your wits about you and keep a somewhat skeptical and professional stance. Those are the basics of how we choose our cases, and I am interested in seeing how others perform theirs.
